What is Astrology? (ft. Deacon Seraphim/Richard Rohlin)

I Might Believe in Faeries

What is astrology? Is it different from astronomy? How was astrology viewed in the ancient world and Christian Middle Ages? What about astrology is forbidden to Christians and is there anything about it that is good, true, and beautiful? Deacon Seraphim (Richard) Rohlin returns to the show to discuss all of this and more.
