Art Bell was joined by Richard Tarnas, author of Cosmos and Psyche(1) and The Passion of the Western Mind(2), for a discussion on consciousness, the history of modern thought, and the validity of astrology and its role in world affairs.
While the planets do not rule us, Tarnas explained, there is a correspondence between planetary alignments and the human experience. He likened this relationship to a clock, which itself does not cause a specific time to occur, but rather shows what time it is. Tarnas said a human being may display archetypal personality traits based on where planets were when he/she was born, however, that person can also play a more or less conscious role in how those traits are expressed. For Tarnas, this non-deterministic astrological viewpoint shows the universe is not void of meaning -- it is instead meaningfully focused on the individual and on Earth.
Tarnas also talked about John Mack, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Harvard Medical School professor who researched alien abduction phenomenon; Nancy Reagan's reliance on astrology and its influence on public policy; and Art Bell's astrological birth chart, which described him as a restless, unorthodox innovator.

As these scientists near the day when they can print out complex tissues and complicated organs, the author wonders when he will he be able to print himself some bacon. Read more here(2).
