On this Christmas Eve edition of Unexplained Inc. we dive into part one of a two part chat about astrology. Amanda Rose runs the website www.mindfulmagickmethod.com and has been on a long winding road in her spiritual journey. She joins us for an expansive chat on her path and all things astrology. Here are some of the talking points of part I:

- Her spiritual journey and how she picked astrology as her main modality.
- What was her 'lightning bolt' moment to choose this path?
- Breaking down the differences of tropical and true sidereal astrology
- The Gregorian calendar
- The Biblical Star Of Bethlehem and the mystery of the Three Magi (Wisemen)
- Ophiuchus...the mysterious 13th sign and it's mythology
