An astrological treatise on modern day fascism.
The Heart of Humanity: The Galactic Center
There are two formative principles underlying astrology: synchronicity and the ancient occult law of correspondences from the Emerald Tablet - “as above, so below.” If we hold these principles to be true then the entirety of the heavens opens up as an expansive palette of correspondence and meaning. Therefore, in our search for an area …
Chiron, Capitalism, & Trump
Chiron’s arrival was a monumental event for humanity. This centaur (asteroid-comet hybrid) was discovered in 1977 and its naming was not an accident. Its association with the ancient mythology of the wounded healer has greatly sophisticated our understanding of the human condition. But suffering and healing, existential or otherwise, along with the wisdom that comes …
Lou Holtz & the Impact of Fate
If you’re not aware, Lou Holtz passed away this month. Holtz was a hall of fame college football coach who coached for many teams during his career, but he is best remembered for his dominance with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the late 1980s and early 1990s. From 1988-1993, The Fighting Irish won the …
Iterations of Beauty
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, opening a new business, making a purchase, saying hello for the first time to a soul you will spend …
“A Hard Lesson to Learn” – Saturn Through the Houses
28 years ago, I met Saturn. Personally. That encounter left an indelible mark on me. With the return of that moment now occurring, I have been thinking about offering a type of homage to his energy. I decided to put together my own list of characteristics and manifestations associated with Saturn’s placement in the houses. …

How Did We Get Here?
(This article is a third installment in a series. For more analysis on this topic, please refer to Living in the Age of Pluto and Confronting the Great Work of Pluto.) When it comes to our present situation, many have pointed to Ronald Reagan’s presidency as to the moment when things started to go downhill. …
The Slap Heard Round the World: Multivalence & the Duality of Astrology
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 …

The Return Composite Chart
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 …
Astrology is Freedom
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 …
Across the Universe
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. …
Confronting the Great Work of Pluto
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 …
The Astro Wizard
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 …
The Post Election Period & Mars Retrograde
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 …
