Summary: <br> <br> This is a recording of a panel discussion that took place at the United Astrology Conference in Chicago last month titled "Is Prediction Killing Astrology?"<br> <br> The panel was organized by the <a href="https://www.isarastrology.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Society for Astrological Research</a> (ISAR) as a free pre-conference event that took place on May 23, 2018, as a precursor to the United Astrology Conference, which then took place over the course of the following week.<br> <br> The panel featured the following astrologers, listed from right to left as they appear in the picture from the panel above: Samuel F. Reynolds, Christeen Skinner, Steven Forrest, ISAR Vice President David Railey as moderator, Chris McRae, Rick Levine, and Chris Brennan.<br> <br> Here is the description of the event that was put out by organizers ahead of the panel: "A 6-member panel will discuss and debate this highly-charged topic, with the purpose of creating awareness - and possibly a consensus - on the role of the astrologer addressing the issue of future events."<br> <br> The panel was partially organized as a result of some of the failed predictions surrounding the 2016 US presidential election, and discussions that resulted from it in the astrological community, including a piece by Steven Forrest titled <a href="https://www.forrestastrology.com/blogs/astrology/the-perils-of-astrological-prediction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Perils of Astrological Prediction</a>.<br> <br> The panel discussion ended up focusing on the role of prediction in astrology, and whether astrologers can and should predict events.<br> <br> The panelists were selected through a vote by the ISAR membership last year.<br> <br> There is both an audio and a video version of the recording of the panel available, and you can find links to both below.<br> Watch the Video Version of the Prediction Panel<br> You can watch the video recording of the panel on Youtube here:<br> <br> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1wRXJ6DFyM<br> <br> -<br> Listen to the Audio Recording of the Prediction Panel<br> You can listen to the audio recording of the prediction panel by using the buttons below:
