Star-Talk & The Re-Animating of Time

‘Sonic Adventures’ combine music, timing, rhythm and sound effects with long form essays that have been animated through the spoken word. When listened to with intent, they are potentially transformative experiences in their own right.

Star Talk and Reanimating of Time

Astrology is ‘time-space animism’. Studying the interplay between stars, cycles of time and myth is as old as humans, who watched, lived and slept under starry sky’s. Modern pop astrology has eroded the integrity of astrological wisdom. Beyond that, due to certain somatic tensions in the eyes, most modern peoples are disconnected from the sky. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly ‘see’ the night sky for the first time. Many city dwellers have never experienced the unfiltered brilliance of the stars, with urban lights dulling the celestial view.

Modern peoples move beyond merely ‘looking’ at the stars to actually perceiving their pulsating, breathing rhythms—like a symphony of light in the sky. This is possible when we awaken perception, and connect with the ancestral wisdom of star-watchers. We touch on the roots of astrology, where ancient peoples saw the stars not just as navigational tools, but as stories of the gods and cosmic patterns. Astrology can reanimate our understanding of time, offering a glimpse into the ‘spirit’ of time that ancient cultures understood so deeply. Astrology acts as a prism, helping us connect with the rhythms of the universe and rediscover our place within the cosmos.
