In my natal chart, 75% of zodiacal energies/qualities are represented through various planetary body combinations. Through aspects, they are augmented and blended into something different. Through transits, they are further transformed. Through progressions, they evolve and mature. Emotions continuously grow. Through harmonic charts, the “shadows” of energies are continuously working from behind the scenes. Through …
A couple years ago, I wrote an article on the synchronicity between the chart of James Earl Jones and one of his most memorable characters, Darth Vader.

About half of my life has been dedicated to the study and practice of astrology. Throughout this journey I can isolate a general timeframe when it became very serious.
