![]() In one chapter Sparkly Kat traces the disparate cultural applications of the planet Saturn. Rather, the book serves as a history and toolkit, decoding the planets from a postcolonial perspective. This is not a “learn your sun sign” introductory guide. Impeccably researched and informed by the author’s deep knowledge, Postcolonial Astrology offers an advanced course in politicized astrological history and application, and an explicitly Queer, POC and instersectional resource. It’s these very systems that misappropriate the language, symbols and wisdom of the planets to prioritize self over the collective. According to Brooklyn-based astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat, astrology is the ideal magical lens through which we can parse the harsh neolliberal and colonial systems of power that harm marginalized people. But so much more than a fad, astrology is an intersectional, political and magical language with a cross-cultural history that informs our relationships to the planets. Astrology is a language that millennials, Gen Zers and many others continue to build fluency in, and look to to inform their everyday lives, decisions and relationships.
