Astromatograph Issue 000
April + May 2025

Designed like a literary box of candy tasty enough to be available at the concession stand and entertaining enough that it’s the reason you left the house, Issue 000 is a puzzle-box of ruminations on film and divinity with an emphasis on tropical astrological transits, particularly film’s ruling planet neptune departing from its 12+ year stay in dreamy pisces, beckoned onward into the martial terrain of aries in almost perfect unison alongside saturn. A once-in-a-lifetime occurrence worthy of archive, recordation, theorizing and speculation — we hope you enjoy the show!

Saturn Return Curtain Call, an interview with Ken Layne

A Rainstorm in Germania: the Not-There-There of Saturn in Aries by Martha Fearnley

The Existential Crisis of the Fictitious Agency, a tv slideshow-poem-quiz in print by Nadiya Helm
