EPISODE #678 GEOPOLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ASTROLOGY Richard welcomes an astrologer to discuss how planetary alignments will affect finance, geopolitics and civil unrest in the coming year. Guest: William Stickevers utilizes a broad scope of political, economic, psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical knowledge to systematically explore possibilities about the future and how they can emerge from the present by weaving current secular trends, geopolitical factors, and mundane astrological portents. A counseling astrologer since 1988, mostly in New York City and now in San Francisco, William is well versed in psychological, Horary, Electional, Medieval, and Renaissance branches of astrology, certified in Astrocartography, and worked with Alphee Lavoie of Astrological Institute of Research (AIR). William has lectured for the National Council for Geocosmic Research, American Federation of Astrologers, the Astrological Society of Connecticut, the San Francisco Astrological Society, and in Germany, Romania, and Japan. In addition to being one of five astrologers recommended on Michael Lutin's Financial Astrology page, William has been invited by Kepler College, "We the People" and the Stars Online Astrology Event, and the META Center (NYC) to participate on panel discussions on the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, the political and economic future of the U.S., and the Mayan 5th Age, respectively.
