In this episode, we spoke with Gary Christen, a 2/4 Sacral Generator and well-known practitioner of Uranian Astrology (and its developing expression as Symmetrical Astrology). An astrologer since his teens, he is the first person in modern times awarded an accredited B.A. degree in astrology from Livingston College at Rutgers University in 1974. A professional astrologer since 1969, Gary co-founded and is the current president of Astrolabe, Inc., assisting in the development of many Astrolabe products and is an encyclopedia of astrological knowledge. In this episode, Gary takes us through a wild ride and history lesson in the field of astrology including the beginning of his astrological journey in the 60s and the many individuals who contributed to the process. He shares some background on the Uranian system of astrology and the early days of astrological computing. He emphasizes how astrology is always the product of the culture in which it was developed and how mutation often comes through a single individual. He touches on some of the challenges we’re faced with today in terms of astrological education and gives us a sense of hope for astrology and humanity in the future.

Gary Christen with a brief history in the field of astrology, how astrology reflects culture, individuals and mutation, and a forecast for the future

Gary Christen is one of the owners of Astrolabe, which publishes the Solar Fire software.  He talks about how Uranian Astrology is being rebranded as Symmetrical Astrology, and why he sees it as some of most cutting edge techniques of Astrology that he hopes forms a solid foundation for new types of Astrology.  Symmetrical astrology is moving towards focusing on specific planetary transits rather than larger 30-degree archetypal windows, which hopefully provides more replicable and solid interpretations that are fast to generate.  He sees one of the fundamental principles of Symmetrical Astrology as being one formed on resonance, and he explains what this means.  He also talks about how the Solar Arc is one specific application of some of the ideas of Symmetrical astrology, which is seen as one of the most accurate predictive techniques in astrology.  Finally, Christen gives a comprehensive history describing the evolution and philosophy behind Uranian Astrology, and hits a lot of historical mile markers along the way. While Solar Fire was designed to be an encyclopedic program for all of the various different astrological techniques, Christen is reviving efforts on the Nova Chartwheels program in order to implement some of these Symmetrical techniques.
