Summary: <br> The podcast has reached a major milestone, and this is the 100th episode of the show!<br> To celebrate the 100th episode we had a question and answer session with astrologers Chris Brennan, Patrick Watson, Leisa Schaim, and Nick Dagan Best.<br> The day before we recorded the episode we put out a call for questions from listeners and patrons of the show, and we ended up with a lot of questions! There were so many questions in fact that we only got through maybe half of them or less in this episode, so we will probably do a followup Q&A episode in April in order to answer the rest.<br> We ran into some technical issues in recording this episode, and were not sure if it was going to be salvageable, but our sound engineer was able to save the day and piece together a full episode from what we gave him. The initial part of the discussion is just between Chris, Patrick, and Leisa, and then about 54 minutes in Nick joined the show.<br> Giveaway Prizes for March<br> At the top of the show we briefly talk about the two giveaway prizes for March:<br> <br> * A free pass to the upcoming Organization for Professional Astrology retreat, which will take place October 19-22, 2017 at the beautiful Zion National Park, in Utah.<br> * A signed copy of my new book, Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune.<br> <br> For more information about the giveaway and how to enter see the <a href="http://theastrologypodcast.com/2017/03/06/astrology-prize-giveaway-march-2017/" target="_blank">March description page</a>.<br> Episode Outline, Topics Covered, and Questions Answered<br> <br> * We open the show talking about how it is the 100th episode.<br> * Discuss the giveaway prizes for patrons this month, and then the main Q&A discussion gets started at 6:30.<br> * Nick joins the show at 54:45.<br> * What is the podcast’s theme song?<br> * Are electional charts the reverse/mirror image of a horary chart?<br> * Which timing techniques do you favor / prioritize?<br> * The Tyranny of the Rising Signs: where do you draw the line in applying electional astrology, or astrology in general to your life?<br> * Do you use declinations in your practice?<br> * What is something about your natal chart that you resonate with personally?
