2020-07-0734 minThe Mansal Denton PodcastJohn Cole - Human Design As an Experiment in Astrology (and How to Get Started)Most people are averse to astrology and for good reason.

Given that the moon can alter water on Earth significantly, it would make sense that our time and location of birth may be altered by alignments in the cosmos. Listen with an open mind to how valuable Human Design might be (and how to get started).
