A Heavenly Symposium

The common definition of symposium is a collection of papers on a particular subject. Another, more antiquated meaning of the word is a drinking party or convivial discussion, especially as held in ancient Greece. This chapbook is written as a kind of conversation in the same sense as the definitions of "symposium" between the author and myth, psychology, astrology, history, and science of the planets. All of these ideas come together to display the sense of apotelesma or connection between human nature and the influence of the stars on human destiny and how one might pull together such fragmented ideas of one very specific (or not) thing, the heavenly bodies.
