The recovery of ancient astrological methodologies has really changed how we look at astrology. But with this exposure to techniques that were lost in the sands of time and rediscovered methods for analyzing a chart, it has also revealed the heavy focus on fate that many ancient astrologers held for this art. The philosophical implications …

“The rabbit hole is deep.” I often say this to clients and students when describing astrology’s scope and depth of what it can reveal. It is much more than just personality assessment. In fact, sometimes our charts contain clues to potential fates so unfathomable that it is almost as if they are some types of …

Sometimes the astrology of a particular connection is staring us right in the face. Just consider the work of William Blake. For his time, Blake was one of wildest poets that ever lived. In his epic poem, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” he introduced the radical idea that everything in life was based around …
The discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have really thrown existence into overdrive. It is a little overwhelming to think about how fast humanity has progressed or evolved since the discovery of the first of these outer planets way back in the 18th century. While that may seem like a long time ago, their arrival …
National Geographic magazine published an issue in May 2017 to once again tackle the age-old question of genius. It addressed scans of the brain via MRI while musicians are creating and improvising, reviewed studies of the DNA of famous artists and, of course, reviewed the ubiquitous microscope slides of Einstein’s brain. While these areas of …
I have been avoiding the documentary, “Leaving Neverland”. I had heard from others what it was about and didn’t want to watch it. I grew up a huge fan of a Michael Jackson’s music, so it has been and is difficult to confront the probability that he became an abuser. And worse, that this abuse …
From September 29-30, 1941, Nazi Germany committed one of the largest massacres at the city of Kiev, Ukraine. Over this two-day period, it is estimated that the Nazi’s exterminated almost 34,000 Jewish people along with thousands of other cultures and nationalities. To pull off this monstrous war crime, they had to trick the population. Shortly …
I find it interesting that everyone has specific favorite astrological methodologies and concepts. Over time, I have found that I tend to gravitate towards midpoint analysis. Midpoints provide additional detail that flesh out a story that the standard aspects don’t/can’t always highlight. They are like little configurations all over the chart that reveal specific complexes …

Astrology is all about direction and meaning. What do we make of this transit? That progression? This ingress? That return? While we debate the significance of these various moving cycles, sometimes it is easy to lose sight of one of the largest: the changing of ages. It is a well-worn maxim that the slowest moving …
I spend so much time focusing attention on the invisible world of energy and connection that I sometimes take it for granted how that sensitivity grows over time. The “feel” of the ineffable within and without. But in parallel with this concentration, I also notice the divide with those who are completely ignorant to this …

I have become less concerned with the cost of goods and services. Advertisements that brag about their low prices mean little to me. In this day and age, I wish corporations would start advertising the state of their employee population. Things like: How many of their employees live near or below the federal poverty line? …

I can’t believe that I have not found an analysis on the correlation between the sign of Gemini, its ruler Mercury and the artistry of rap. This is an area of creative expression where this sign is a genius. Below is a brief overview of many of the major rappers in this industry. The table …
There are a multitude of methods to do prediction in astrology, but one of my favorites is solar arcs. It is one of the easiest to spot. With solar arcs, each planetary body moves at the speed of the secondary progressed Sun. This equates to roughly one degree per year. The beauty of solar arcs …
An astrological chart for the United States was proposed by the astrologer, Ebenezer Sibly back in 1787. Over time, research of this chart has revealed numerous issues. Not only does the historical record not support the time within this chart, but even a recalculation of the chart does not support Sibly’s work either. In other …

Retrograde motion is often described as a heightened focus or internalization of the archetypal functions affiliated with the planetary body. While this description is accurate, it also feels a little bland because this “heightened focus” doesn’t occur arbitrarily. What I have found is that it is usually motivated. More often than not, something has happened …
