Presentation Description:
Feminist Astrology and the Moon: Engaging Ancient Traditions with Feminist Thought
How can astrology contribute to feminist movements resisting domination, exploitation, and oppression? What possibilities are enabled through making tradition questionable? In this talk, Michael will explore ways in which feminist thought can intervene in our understanding of traditional significations attributed to the planets and the archetypal principles they can describe. Focusing specifically on the Moon as a case study, we will ask how feminist thinking can expand or reorient the meaning we make of topics traditionally attributed to the Moon such as the body and mothering.
