Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Moonbeam Musings. Today we're talking about astrology and the history of astrology. Now astrology is one of the most enduring practices in human history dating back over 4,000 years. Its origins can be traced to ancient Babylon where early star charts and celestial observations were used.

where early star charts and celestial observations were used to track seasons and guide agricultural practices. From there, astrology spread to ancient Egypt, where it influenced the development of the zodiac, and to Greece, where philosophers like Ptolemy formalized it into a system still recognized today. Across the world, from China to the Americas, astrology has played a profound role in shaping cultures, guiding decisions.

and offering a lens to understand the universe and our place within it. But why has astrology stood the test of time? What is it about the stars, the planets and their symbolic meanings that continue to resonate with us, even in our modern science driven world?

Today, I'm thrilled to explore these questions with my guest, Anita Chakraborty, an astrology expert and consultant, herbalist and shamanic healer. Together we'll delve into the rich history of astrology, its cultural significance and why it still matters today. So let's dive in. Welcome Anita, thank you for being here today.

Anita Chakraburtty (01:30)
Thanks for inviting me, Philippa. I'm very excited to talk about one of my favorite subjects.

Phillipa James (01:37)
So let's start off. Can you explain what astrology is and the core of why it has endured for thousands of years across various cultures?

Anita Chakraburtty (01:47)
So astrology is essentially a study of the movement of the planets in the sky and how they interact with your astrological chart. Okay, so that's one aspect of astrology where you look at a person's birth chart and how the positions of the planet in their house is and that's known as kind of know birth chart reading.

Another approach that you would use is where you do some forecasting where you look ahead six months 12 months So again, that's the planets in the sky and how they interact with your astrology chart over six months 12 months and It all came about My understanding is from Babylonia. So in the area of Mesopotamia that I think is now modern Iran Iraq

around 1800 BCE is when they first started to note the positions of the planets using cuneiform you know with the nails that's how they did their writing the Mesopotamians and it was all connected to the royal family and you know the positions of the planets in the sky when a son was born they'd make a note of that.

position of the planets when a daughter was born they'd make a note of that position of the planets when they had a good harvest they'd make a note of that when they had a poor harvest when the river tigris flooded they'd make a note of that so any it was really

My previous background was in banking and big data and data analytics and really what went on in Mesopotamia and then moved to sort of Greece and Rome was big data analytics so they were collecting

years and years and daily measures of all the different planets and what was going on situationally. Was there a war? Did they win the war? know, how was the marriage between the king and queen? What was the new bride to the prince like? You know?

Harvest, earthquake, volcanic eruptions, floods. So all that information was gathered so that in the future they knew that when certain planet planetary positions were happening they could say look we think the river Tigris is going to flood so let's kind of start putting some sandbags and

Protecting ourselves or we think we might go into conflict with another another city. So let's start arming ourselves. So it originated in Babylonia, Mesopotamia and There was also India where astrology came via the Jyoti ish Astrologers and the Indian monks and then the monks

Indian monks took it to China so China also has a big background and history of astrology in excess of a thousand years and then we've got what was happening in South America with the Mayans as well so it is really global I mean there's Native Americans

Inuits have background in astrology as well and in the UK we've got the Druids so they were astrologers as well and if you think of Stonehenge being positioned for the summer solstice, New Grange in Ireland positioned for the winter solstice, they've been around for thousands of years. And sorry you mentioned about why it's endured that was your second question. I think as humans we

want to feel kind of connected to the cosmos in some way and I think it's inherent in us because our ancestors would look at the

cycles of the sun related to the seasons related to night and day. The moon and the tides. If some of our ancestors were fishermen then the spring tides and autumn tides, king tides, they were all connected to the moon so you'd know should we go and fish or not fish. Not just looking at the weather, the moon can predict things in advance of you knowing what the weather's going to be like. Also I think

things kind of came up during the pandemic. I saw my own astrology business pick up significantly in 2020, 2021 because people had job uncertainty, health uncertainty, financial uncertainty, business uncertainty, people that were sole traders. So they were looking to other forms of divination in a way to give them some answers to their questions that no one could really answer.

But I think for, especially like the more young generation, so the millennials now, I think astrology is a good tool for you to interpret different aspects of your life. And I think the millennials are very self-aware.

and do lot of self-work on themselves and astrology helps you look at your identity so your character, your personality, whether you have anxiety, whether you have a depression, whether you're creative, whether you're more analytical and it you know helps you navigate the onion layers of your psyche and your character as well as you know astrology will help you look at patterns in your life connected to your

romantic relationships, your business relationships, your career, your health, your finances. So it's a way of navigating the intricacies of life by connecting with the cosmos and tapping into something external to ourselves.

Phillipa James (07:51)
Yeah, absolutely. And I guess, how do you feel that people used astrology in the past differently to how they used it today? Do you think there's a big difference?

Anita Chakraburtty (08:04)
I don't think there was a huge difference. mean my knowledge is more about UK based astrology that came via Greece and Hellenistic astrology and then the Arab world and then the medieval astrologers because I am a medieval astrologer and that's just got more of a level of complexity to it than modern astrology yeah so it's similar but different and you know medieval astrologers were

someone like Nicholas Culpepper, he was a herbalist and a nutritionist. You know, he wrote Culpepper's Herbal, which brought herbal medicine to the masses because it was written in English when a lot of texts in the medical community were written in Natting because they weren't for the common people to understand. But if he went to go and see Nicholas Culpepper...

as soon as you walked into his little apothecary shop in the east east end of London he would draw a chart of the question that you asked him yeah so i've got i've got a bad headache what can you do for my headache that might be the question or i've got a boil on my thigh that's really septic what can you do the time of that question you would write draw a chart which is known as a decumbature chart and based on that chart you could work out

type of illness a person has, the type of herbs that would be beneficial and whether your treatment would be successful or unsuccessful and how long that person would be ill. So there's a branch of astrology that's known as medical astrology. could... and you know astrologers were being used for romantic reasons

Phillipa James (09:38)
Hmm.

Anita Chakraburtty (09:47)
know I like this fellow he was born in this town on this day can you look at our charts and see if we're compatible and I think there was you know there's a old saying there's a saying in the astrology community you know millionaires don't use astrologers but billionaires do and you know the king had the kings and queens had the royal court astrologer

who was the second most important person in the kingdom. So Dr John Dee was Elizabeth the first's astrologer and he set the coronation date and she ruled for over 40 years. Whereas prior to her they had very short term after Henry the eighth died they had three different

Well, know King Edward the sixth who was very young he died after about three years. I think then there was Maybe Mary Queen of Squats Scots and then you know, Lady Jane Grey for like 10 days. So it's a very unstable time So when Elizabeth the first was given the baton She probably thought my god, how long am I gonna be queen for five days ten days one year? so she asked John Dee to Cast a chart for the most auspicious day

he set that date and she ended up being queen for like over 40 years. So people use astrologers in you know the 1400s 1500s in a similar way that they're using them now. So I don't think it has really changed although astrology in the 1800s started to lose popularity because that was a massive reliance in science.

and then it was started to be seen that it's not science, it's quackery, it's divination, it's not based on anything scientific. it kind of fell foul a little bit in the 1800s, early 1900s.

Phillipa James (11:49)
Whereas actually from what you've been saying there was thousands of years of evidence and data which is what science is about. Yeah, that's very interesting. what made you get into astrology after your previous career?

Anita Chakraburtty (12:09)
So I think everybody, I can only talk about my generation. So when I was growing up, you'd get like Jackie magazine or Misty magazine with the comic strip things going on, but with photographs and air bubbles. And there was a astrology column there that would say, this is what's gonna happen for Aries, Gemini, Libra.

I think that's a lot of people's first introduction to astrology. It's either in a magazine that they read as a teenager or in the newspapers. you know the newspapers used to have you know Jonathan Caner in The Daily Mail, Mystic Meg in The Sun. So I used to read those and you know wasn't heavily into it I have to say but I was mildly interested and then my banking career took me to Australia when I was in my early 30s.

and back in 2003 Australian people were drinking green juice for breakfast whereas you know English people in 2003 were eating bacon butties and a coffee with like three sugars in it so you know 20 plus years ago Australia was very healthy and you know based on that people in Australia they were seeing osteopaths and chiropractors and massage naturopaths

So seeing all these alternative people, it was common. And so I ended up doing a degree in herbal medicine and nutrition, which is naturopathy. And in the college, you could study just a short weekend course in astrology. That piqued my interest. So then I looked online to see if there's any astrology meetups that happen, even though my knowledge of astrology from a weekend was, you know, non-existent really.

and then through going to the New South Wales Astrology Groups I was meeting up with.

New South Wales Astrology Association. You start to hear all these different speakers talking about all the different astrology, financial astrology, mundane astrology, which is looking at world events, and then astrology of different asteroids. And I was just like, wow, this is amazing. There's so much to it. So I ended up studying modern astrology for a year with Dr. Neil Hare, who was the president of the New South Wales Astrology Association. And then after modern astrology, I went to astrology conference

in Brisbane and I saw a few medieval astrology people give a one-hour lecture and I sat in this lecture and thought I think I've got a reasonable foundation in astrology and yet what these people are saying I don't understand and I've got a master's degree in chemistry and I thought what they're talking about is so complicated I want to learn it so two ladies Mari Garcia and Joy Usher

Their school was called AstroMundi and I did a four-year diploma in astrology. essentially, by me studying herbal medicine and nutrition, because the college had astrology there, I thought, I can study it. I'm quite interested in it. And then from that, it just grew into a big passion of mine.

Phillipa James (15:23)
Wow, that's brilliant. Thank you, Nisa. think, you know, I will say I'm a bit biased with astrology because I've been fascinated with it since I was younger too. And I've also was more of the data analytical and maths thinking myself. So I'm not talking about the generalized magazine and blog astrology, but the

Anita Chakraburtty (15:26)
Bye.

Phillipa James (15:50)
The charts themselves really fascinated me and I had my birth chart done when I was very young. And I think also, you know, the pattern element of it myself, I'm interested in that and I could see the patterns and I read quite a few books by Linda Goodman who I thought was absolutely brilliant and very, very accurate. So I will give that disclaimer to this because I'm not impartial. I really...

I really have seen the patterns I've seen in my lifetime from it. And I think you have to, sometimes you live these things. we all know that sometimes with different scientific methods, there's a short term data analysis of a trial. Whereas this has got years, thousands of years. Why would people follow it for thousands of years if there was nothing in it? So there's something in it.

Anita Chakraburtty (16:47)
Yeah, it would

have fallen by the wayside a long time ago and for it to also be so prevalent in so many different countries now and countries where, you know, science and technology is massive. If you look at India, India is a country where astrology is very ingrained in their cultural life, but also in their religious life. You know, there are certain lunar days where people will fast based on the moon. There are certain gemstones

they wear on their fingers, on specific fingers that relate to different planets that can help them financially, romantically, health-wise. In medical astrology, for example, mercury is about your lungs and it's about the nervous system. It's about your hands and fingers. So you might wear a specific gem that's ruled by mercury if you've got arthritis, say, in India.

or some lung issues. Jupiter rules the liver so if you've got some liver issues in India or lower back and hips as Jupiter ruled then you know Indian people might wear stones connected to Jupiter on the finger that's connected to Jupiter. Mars is about blood so if you had anemia you'd wear a gemstone connected to Mars on your Mars finger. Most Hindus when they get married they consult an astrologer to look for an auspicious marriage date and I've done that for

for couples, you know, it's called electional astrology when someone elects the date, so you look for the most auspicious date. And also when you do meet someone through, you know, either a romantic scenario or an arranged marriage, one of the first things they do is they go and see an astrologer to do synastry of, you know, the couple and look at their chart. What's the strength and weakness is their longevity.

In China, Feng Shui, which is the way that you would lay out your home in an auspicious way in certain rooms for certain things, whether it's health, whether it's wealth, whether it's spiritual, whether it's love. buildings are, businesses are set up on auspicious date. That's connected to astrology as well. So, yeah, even.

very high-powered technical civilizations now astrology is very ingrained in their society even when they're very technical people if you think of the Chinese and if you think of the Indians

Phillipa James (19:19)
Yeah, yeah, understood, definitely. I mean, I guess astrology, like you've just explained before, it reflects the human desire for meaning and order, really, in life, know, especially, as you said, during the times of COVID, when people were looking for, they had so much uncertainty, they're looking for answers, you know, and it is a way, it's a tool, isn't it?

For me personally, I feel like it's a great tool to use as long as you don't get too obsessed with it, you know, and you carry on living your own life. But it's a really great tool to use. And also it's important to go to see someone who's fully qualified as well because, yeah.

Anita Chakraburtty (20:06)
Yeah, believe it or not, there

is the Association for Professional Astrologers International, which is known as the APAI. And it is an international astrology association. You're vetted before you can become a member. And yeah, so anyone on that website is a fully qualified and probably fully insured astrologer.

So, you know, I've done a four-year diploma, that's kind of the sort of things they would be looking for if you wanted to become an AP AI member. So in the first instance of looking for an astrologer, if none of your friends or family have seen one that they thought was, you know, a good astrologer or not, then that would be a good website to go to, the AP AI.

Phillipa James (20:56)
Thank you very much. We'll add that below in the description. And one thing I wondered if you could expand on was when you were talking about Mars fingers and things like this, I assume you're talking about a certain way of looking at the human anatomy. And if you could just explain what you're referring to there in case people don't know.

Anita Chakraburtty (21:15)
So in medical astrology and also just general astrology different zodiac signs relate to different parts of the body. So Aries relates to the head in medical astrology. So an Aries person has a predisposition

to perhaps have things going on with their head. mean if you think of Aries as a ball I remember at one of my I'm an Aries so one of my birthday parties in Tootin when I was about seven or eight I decided to do an Olympic course you know obviously being an Aries wanting to win some competition and I was doing the long jump yeah I was organizing the long jump for me and my friends and it's just a skipping rope just getting moved you know a bit more a bit more a bit more and yeah at my own birthday

day party I did the bestest long jump that I could and just went splat on some bricks so the edge of the grass had bricks that were on an angle yes the pointy bit of the bricks like

I basically head planted and yeah so there are photos from the late 1970s of me like with this plaster on my head blowing out my candles with my pigtails you know but Aries rules the head and a lot of Aries may suffer from headaches they might have head injuries from falling over and it's more that kind of Aries wanting to be first and wanting to kind of be in the lead and just that impulsivity

but they're also prone to anything dental, they're prone to blocked ears, they're prone to eyes. Taurean people, it's the throat, so they're more prone to thyroid issues, laryngitis. I'm already starting to feel a funny throat talking about thorus. I mentioned Gemini people ruled by the planet Mercury, that's about lungs, that's about the nervous system, hands and fingers. Cancerian people, that's the breast area that...

cancer rules, Libra people there tends to be a bit of them.

Blood sugar regulation, so Libra is about the pancreas and the kidney, so there can be urinary concerns. Pisces rules the feet, so lot of Piscean people or people with lot of Piscean planets may have foot and ankle issues, whether it's bunions, whether it's flat feet, whether it's weak ankles at turn. Jupiter rules the liver and the hips, so each zodiac sign is ruled by a planet and that...

planet is connected to a different part of the body.

Phillipa James (23:52)
Great, thank you for explaining that. I think what I wanted to ask you was more about some of your experiences really with astrology and if you had any great examples that you'd be happy to share with us. Obviously not naming people.

Anita Chakraburtty (24:10)
Yeah I'm happy to um... So

my own personal experience, the biggest one was um in in 2005 uh 2015 I mean I knew kind of like the year before that in 2015 the planet Uranus which is about unexpected sudden change was going to be sitting on my son yeah so that means it's me

a change in status in my life based on this Uranus suddenly gonna make me do some big change yeah so I was sort of tracking it in 2014 and nothing really happened and then 2015 nothing really happened and literally the day I went wow I've escaped this Uranus on my son Malarkey nothing dramatic's happened literally a few days later I started feeling this when I was living in Sydney I started feeling like

my intuition was saying time for you to go back to London. I was like no I'm not going back to London I've got a beautiful beach three-minute walk from my house I'm at the Opera House half an hour on the bus like I live in paradise while to go back to tootin Broadway and this got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and that started in June 2015 in August 2015 I was on a plane back to London after 12 years in Sydney and I didn't cry

Yeah, even i've been there 12 years had amazing friends. I lived in this lovely flat that I rented i've been there for like eight nine years right by the sea I just thought i'm gonna I basically threw my stuff on the street really because I'm not gonna photograph it and put it on ebay You know i've got time. I need to go to england when it's summer i'm not gonna go to england in january and mess around with all these stuff in my In my flat trying to sell it

Anyway, so that was a personal experience of Uranus on my son. Sudden unemotional dramatic change and it just when I went, oh I've escaped. It didn't escape, yeah. In terms of clients, I had a client in January 2024 and I did a one-year look ahead reading for her and I said to her during the reading, in the summer 2024 I see a romantic experience for you and she said

not interested in any romance. My husband left me 17 years ago. I'm not interested in getting involved with anyone." I like okay. This was in January and I told her in the summer 2024 and then I said October 2024 I see you going overseas and it's connected with this romantic person and she said I haven't been on a plane for 30 years I've got an abject fear of flying so I won't be going overseas. I was like okay.

So that was the reading in January 2024 that I mentioned about summer 24 and October 24. In September 2024 she rang me and she said, in the summer I went to a conference and one of keynote speakers was really good and I'll never normally do this but I went up to him in the break and we had a chat, we ended up having lunch, we exchanged email addresses and we emailed regularly. Then we exchanged phone numbers, we started texting, then we started chatting. Now we speak an hour every day.

really really like him he really really likes me I'm like fantastic and my intuition said you know he lives overseas so I said he lives overseas doesn't and she yeah he's in America and I went okay so you're gonna go and see him in October aren't you and she went yeah I'm having counseling to get over my fear of flying but yeah I'm planning to go to America in October and then another story is a client who saw me I did a six month reading for her

During that reading I could see that there was relationship difficulty happening from a long-term relationship So I mentioned it to her and she said yeah I'm fed up with my boyfriend and we're gonna break up so I've had enough really and we're just arguing all the time. So was like, So then she came back to me six months later for another six months reading and in that reading I saw a pregnancy and I thought I have to mention it to her because

You can't just tell everyone lovely lovely things all the time, know, as an astrologer you're be balanced, yeah? Anyway, I said to her, look, I'll see your pregnancy in three months time. And just, you if you want it, fine, if you don't, you know, I know you're single, so just take precautions. She's I'm not gonna get pregnant, I'm not silly, I'll take precautions. Yeah, okay, good, I'm just letting you know, that's what I'll in three months time. In three months after that, I got a text from her saying, you're a witch, I'm pregnant, by my ex.

boyfriend from a random hookup but because we haven't been seeing each other for like nine months we're kind of getting on really well and we're gonna give it a go with the baby and everything so it's all good

Phillipa James (29:12)
Wow, so they're the power of astrology. Yeah, that's amazing. It's amazing. Yeah, I think it's... Yeah.

Anita Chakraburtty (29:18)
yeah completely

But my most famous, well not famous, because I don't know if they're

still recording, but in mid January 2020, I was on Riverside radio in...

Wandsworth, yeah, in Battersea in the studio and I was with Martin Adams and it was a mainly sort of astrology outlook for you know the next few months But more about you know Capricorn and Libra more specific to you know zodiac signs Yeah, but I threw in a little bit of mundane astrology and I said look Neptune is right next to the moon in the sixth house of the UK chart six houses about health

Phillipa James (29:38)
Yeah.

Anita Chakraburtty (30:05)
The moon is about the people, Neptune is about infection. So there's some infection that's going to be quite big in the next few months in the UK. So that was mid January 2020. No one cared about infection then because there was some virus in China that, you know, was affecting some people. But mid January 2020, that's when Meghan and Harry announced that they were exiting the royal family. So everybody that rang in and everybody that tweeted wanted my

astrological views on Meghan and Harry no one asked me about a virus that may impact the UK.

Phillipa James (30:45)
Wow, yeah, it's incredible. Well, I mean, so it sounds like astrology is so many routes you can go down. There's more than even I realised, you know, with the different astrology from different cultures, you can specialise in different areas. I know you yourself, like you've just said, you can do charts with a person to look at from where they were born and their life and their personality and what sort of jobs could fit them. You can do charts that look at

relationships between two people. can almost, you're kind of looking at the future charts, which is what you've just been discussing there, both from a personal point of view, but also related to a country even, which is quite incredible. Yeah. So if someone new to astrology was really interested in looking further into it, so they're not overwhelmed, is there a starting point, maybe some books or an organization you could recommend?

Anita Chakraburtty (31:28)
Yeah.

Look I would say if Linda Goodman's books are still available I mean that's what set me on my astrology path I would say that that's a really good starting point

The only problem I have with recommending anything is because I'm a professional astrologer I've been doing it for 14 years everything that I know about is for other astrologers yeah and I've had instances where I've you know I've done talks for the astrological lodge of London in Baker Street and some lovely friends have wanted to come and I've said look it's gonna be too complicated you won't understand it and some of my friends are like we know astrology don't be so elitist and I'm like okay come yeah but you won't understand it

I've had friends come and they're like I don't understand it didn't understand what anyone was talking about I'm like yeah so so I'd say Linda Goodman is a good starting point and then I don't really know what the next step would be I mean you know also because I did all my studying in Australia but the astrological lodge of London do do a free beginners class on a Monday night

think it's between six and seven but again it's kind of it's not it's not going to give you a piece of paper qualification it's something you can drop into drop out of so maybe you're attending one of those free classes so you can book it on their website that would just give you an idea about you know a planet or a house they'll go into that in the beginners class and then from that if you're kind of really kind of passionate about it then you could look online at various

courses that you could do to do something more formal. I'd say start with Edmund Goodman, maybe look at the Astrological Lodge of London and register with some of their beginners classes that are free so you don't have to commit to it if you just want to bob in, bob out. And then if you think you want to commit to something there are lots of different in-person and online schools of astrology that you can study whether it's modern astrology, esoteric astrology which is more spiritual, traditional astrology which is the medieval.

Phillipa James (33:27)
Yeah.

Anita Chakraburtty (33:54)
Astrology that I studied Vedic astrology so Indian astrology, which is a whole nother branch There'll be Chinese astrologers that teach Chinese astrology So, you know, I'm not trying to overwhelm people but once you sort of delve into it then that you kind of find your way

Phillipa James (34:12)
Yeah, and I'd say probably the first step as well would be to get your own chart done by someone who's a professional like yourself because then I think you can really understand how you relate to your own birth chart and that's a starting point with with kind of understanding the different houses and planets. I know that definitely helped me when I was looking at astrology.

Anita Chakraburtty (34:35)
Yeah, definitely. If you get your birth chart done by a professional astrologer, then they will explain in detail the different houses, the planets in the houses, the angles between the planets, whether the planets are strong, whether the planets are weak or difficult. They'll describe your character, your personality, your health patterns in your life to do with business relationship, personal relationship, your finances, the way you think. Past lives can even be seen in a chart by looking at the North Node, South Node.

And if after that experience you think, wow, like that person knows me better than my best friends, which is what I get told by so many clients, like, know everything about me and you've never even met me until today, that can ignite something in the person, you know, that they want to learn more of how you can understand a person so well just from their chart.

Phillipa James (35:24)
Well, thank you so much for being with us, Anita. I know that you're often doing, know, Thai-level talks across the UK. You're based in London now, just to clarify that for everybody. And also, you're on the radio quite often, which is brilliant. And so we are very grateful to have you here. And it would be great if you could let everybody know if they were interested in having a reading with you, because you do actually do personal readings as well as the sort of training that you do.

with more advanced professionals. So how would they go about getting in contact with you?

Anita Chakraburtty (35:59)
So my website is www.multidimensionalhealing.co.uk and my mobile number is 07757 540 436 and my email is anita at multidimensionalhealing.co.uk but yeah they could have a look at my website I'm a herbalist nutritionist shamanic healer and astrology but there is a separate astrology section

my website they can read up about and yeah just give me a call we can have a chat and see what reading would fit you know whether it's a birth chart reading six months 12 months look ahead whether it's you know a business joint venture that you're thinking of setting up you know it's not just relationship charts in terms of romance but you can look at if you're to set up business with someone's strengths and weaknesses but i'll do relationship charts as well and electional charts you know if there's a date you want to launch your book or open your shop or

get married or release a single then it's good to connect with an astrologer. Think of Elizabeth I, all the three previous kings and queens were quite short lived and then she was on the throne for over 40 years because of Dr John Dee and her brilliant chart.
