| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the astrology podcast. In this episode I'm going to be talking with astrologer Anthony Lewis about why the Placidus system of house division is the most popular or the default system of House Division in Western |
| 0:14.7 | astrology today. So hey Anthony, thanks for joining me today. |
| 0:18.0 | Nice to be here. Thanks for inviting me. |
| 0:20.5 | Yeah, I'm excited to have you on. I've known you for several years now or quite many years, so I'm excited to have you on the show finally. |
| 0:29.2 | So you are the author of a few different books on astrology. One of your first ones was one of the earliest books on horary astrology after the revival of horary astrology in the early late 1980s and early 1990s, but you've also written on solar returns and you've also done or helped with a translation of the 17th century author Morinas, right? |
