Between 2011-2014, a small subset of babies were born with a generational Uranus-Pluto square in their charts. The last time these two planets formed a major aspect with each other was their conjunction back in the 1960’s.Uranus and Pluto are signatures for revolution. They create transformation through destabilization and rebellion. The potential for violence and …
Fortune Favors the Brave – Aries
Aries gets a bad rap. I have noticed that many online memes and descriptions of Aries tend to characterize this sign quality as some type of angry, hot tempered, rage beast. This superficial caricature is so prevalent that I wonder if this will convince people to be apprehensive when encountering anyone with a preponderance of …
Hurt & Mourning – Pisces
For a number of reasons, Johnny Cash was a typical Pisces. Artistic, empathetic, victimized and tortured (sometimes by his own actions), romantic, addicted and introverted. Most significantly, Cash was a musical storyteller and vividly expressed some of the core qualities of this sign in two songs, “The Man in Black” and “Hurt”. With the “Man …
The 5th House
The 5th house is the house of good times. It is the area of life that represents parties, fun, play, romance, games and hobbies. But despite its somewhat frivolous nature, it is one of the most significant of the four succedent houses because it also represents the critical areas of creativity and children. I am …
The Revenant & Scorpio
In honor of Scorpio season, it is probably fitting to quickly review one of the most Scorpionic movies in recent history: The Revenant. (Spoiler Alert Ahead) The Revenant is a harsh movie of survival and revenge. It is based upon the true story of a man (Hugh Glass) who was almost mauled to death by …
The Starry Night
Vincent Van Gogh’s, “The Starry Night” needs little introduction. It is one of the most recognizable paintings of the past century. In fact, this artistic work is so revered and loved that even the detailed history surrounding its inception is well documented. From an astrological perspective, this is significant because it allows us the opportunity …
Mojo Rising
This has been bugging me for awhile Below is the bi-wheel chart for Jim Morrison's natal and the transits for the day he was pardoned for a couple of misdemeanor convictions from 1969 (spoiler alert: Jim was drunk and pulled out his thing at a concert). The transits are fairly straight forward: Transit Saturn partile …
The Dark Side of the Rainbow
For those of you who aren’t aware, a funny little quirk has been discovered over the past couple decades. For some reason, when Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” (DSOTM) album is played alongside the movie, “The Wizard of Oz” (WOO), the music provides a surprising soundtrack that appears to coincide with the major …
The Death of Robin Williams
On August 11, 2014 we learned the horrible news that Robin Williams had taken his own life. The surreal juxtaposition of a comedian and artist with an almost boundless supply of wild, creative energy with that of a severely depressed, suffering and manic individual are almost impossible to reconcile, but these layers can exist within …
Interdependence and the Ego
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 …
Born to Play the Role: Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker
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. Through the delineation of Jones’ chart, we were able to show how it accurately reflects the biography and story of this fictional character. Despite this being one of …

Awakening
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. Where it became more than just a passing interest, but instead something that would define my life. Granted, personal evolutions generally stretch over a long period, …
The Figure in Black
Decades ago I was admitted into the hospital for a couple weeks due to an inflamed spleen. It had a swollen so large that it was putting pressure on my back and causing a degree of pain so intense that it required a morphine drip to help manage. One day after falling asleep, I awoke …
Air (Aquarius) Jordan
With the massive Last Dance documentary airing throughout the month of Taurus for the aptly named Bulls, the timing seems appropriate for an in-depth astrological analysis of Michael Jordan. Jordan’s impact on our culture is undeniable and it would be hard to discuss anything from the 90’s without addressing the influence he had on this …
Born to Play the Role: Chris Pratt/Star-Lord
Chris Pratt is our final example in this series and a great illustration of actors who found fame and stardom through roles that closely mirror the dynamics of their charts. Similar to Bryan Cranston, Pratt also played various minor roles (i.e. Parks and Recreation, etc) before landing the role of Peter Quill, aka Star Lord. …
