By now I am confident that everyone is familiar with the infamous “Slap Heard Round the World” (which we will refer to as The Slap). Back in 2022, during the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith lost his cool on national TV, walked on stage, and slapped the host, Chris Rock, in response to a joke …

Innovation and experimentation are the life blood of our work. We cannot “see” the cycles and energies and symbolic connections of an astrology chart, so it is important to explore possibilities and potentialities. One recent innovation is the composite chart, discovered by John Townley in the early 1970s. The composite chart is a unique chart …
It must be. Think about what goes into the modern identity. The religious dogmas that promote suppression, self loathing, and fear; the patriotism and nationalism that demand blind obedience (and sometimes, hatred); the normalized greed and ruthlessness that are byproducts of consumerism; the inherited Cold War propaganda passed down through the generations; the cultural hegemony …
A strange thing happened to me on March 7, 2025. For a Friday, there was not anything necessarily spectacular about it other than it was the end of the work week. I was busy. Had a handful errands to wrap up and variety of tasks related to my astrological work that needed to be completed. …
It has been a wild year and even wilder couple of weeks. Many in the United States are reeling from the recent presidential election and still mentally processing everything. I would like to address this from an astrological perspective, but some of it is going to be pretty heavy and ominous. If you need to …
For those of you who may not be aware, there is an obscure little asteroid called “Astro Wizard.” Asteroid 24626 was discovered in 1980 and named after a science and astronomy educator who performed at public events wearing a wizard costume and named “The Astro Wizard.” This naming is interesting because if we have learned …
This is a tense time right now. As usual, many astrological predictions have focused on the upcoming election in the United States, but I am more concerned with the post-election period. Why? Because it coincides with the upcoming Mars retrograde cycle. The main retrograde period is from 12/7 until 2/24, but if we include the …
About a year and a half ago I posted an article analyzing the part (or lot) of fortune (POF). That lengthy analysis dove deep into the impact that this all-important calculated point had on the lives of some of the most famously wealthy individuals. I promised a follow up to that article, so this addendum …

Dashrath Manjhi was a poor laborer who worked on a farm near his small Indian village of Gehlaur in the early 20th century. Nearby his village was a mountain that prevented easy passage to the urban medical facilities on the other side. To get there, the villagers were forced to travel 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) …

Astrological timing can be mind-blowing and really make one question the nature of reality. What I am talking about is the precision between the manifestation of an event and the planetary movements that correlated with it. Sometimes that correlation is literally within minutes of each other. There is a great example of this. Are you …
Sequential Topic Theory: Tracing America’s Story Through its Presidents In a previous article, I offered an introduction to derived house methodology. There is a unique rule connected to this methodology that many within the astrological community have been applying for years. There is not a name for this rule so I will refer to it …

I think the thing that blows me away about astrology is that there is an imprint of “energy” somewhere in the aether for every single thing that manifests at any given moment. People, thoughts, books, movies, organizations, countries, starting your car for a journey, making a purchase, saying hello for the first time to a …
