ABOUT IN OUR STARS
Hello! I am Kate Madsen, and In Our Stars is my newsletter.
Welcome to the #1 Newsletter for Arts and Entertainment with an Astrological Mythical Spin. (The ONLY one, as far as I know.)
This newsletter is about STORYTELLING, not astrology per se. To better understand what I am trying to do here, start with these articles ⬇️
🟣Inspirations for In Our Stars
🟪 WHY it’s Important to Know the Astrology Archetypes (and no, most people do not).
Fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it is true. -Ursula LeGuin
While I may not believe in birthday astrology, I DO believe in the psychology of the 12 archetypes. I believe in the centuries of human observation, creativity, and intuition that the zodiac represents. I believe in its philosophy of moral and spiritual growth, BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN BIRTHDATE ASTROLOGY, YOU BE YOU!
I’m NOT here to change your mind, and I am writing these articles so it will be fun for you too!
The FALSE DICHOTOMY of Astrology
FALSE CHOICE: Either you believe in the divine math of astrology and the divine purpose of the universe, OR you condemn astrology as a useless pseudoscience or even occult heresy.
I reject the premise; I don’t have to choose one. Honestly, I don’t want to defend myself in comments or chat, so I will not. I am not being wishy-washy, nor am I ignorant. I have thought this through pretty thoroughly over many decades.
I do not fit into those boxes, and if you don’t either, please subscribe.
It’s fun and enlightening to discuss the signs of the fictional characters we love and how they were crafted. It’s that simple.

The monthly newsletter and access to all the articles.
At In Our Stars, all readers (& listeners) will receive a monthly newsletter with articles about the main themes of astrology itself, the archetype of the sign of the month, and astrological reviews and recaps of popular television shows, films, and books.
For example, the first newsletter contains . . .
An article excerpt about the Amazon Prime show “Fallout” and its many Sagittarius-influenced characters and themes.
An article excerpt on the Sagittarius archetype itself, how it evolved, and some of the many characters we know that embody it, like Bilbo Baggins, Eowyn, and Gandalf in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, Cormoran Strike from the BBC show C.B. Strike, and the Ghoul in Fallout, of course.
An article excerpt from an educational piece discussing the astrological calendar and the differences between the astronomy and mathematics of different cultures that determine birthday astrology signs. It also describes how the relationship of the sun, constellations, and Earth has shifted since ancient times. You may not be the sign you think you are based on your birthday. Again, I think you can choose the sign you are, but this article is about birthday astrology.
A quick aside about the upcoming Asian Year of the Fire Horse.
