This post is going to be a journey. I’m not sure we’ll reach a destination today. As I was looking at charts this morning, a pattern started to emerge. This Grand Sextile is an event that has a start, a middle, and an end. It is a gateway—a rite of passage. If you remember back… Continue reading Opposing Neptune and the Grand Sextile

Grand Sextile Partie Deux
On July 29, 2013, we experienced a Grand Sextile. That morning, I analyzed a chart I created using the exact square of the sun and moon to determine an exact time. In anticipation of Monday’s Grand Sextile Partie Deux, I have decided to do something similar. The aspect I selected to anchor the chart is… Continue reading Grand Sextile Partie Deux
Dogs and Cats
The Dog Days of Summer are just about over—at least unofficially. What are officially over (at 6:01 pm CDT this evening) are the lazy, loungy, fixed-fire days of Leo. The term “Dog Days” come from an association with the rising of Sirius within the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation. Had a different person been looking… Continue reading Dogs and Cats
Emperor’s Chair
About five or six weeks ago, an interesting inclination struck. I had woken early that day and put in a number of hours of work by 11:00 am. I was ready for a break when it hit. From seemingly out of nowhere, I felt the strongest urge to go to a yoga class. Seven years… Continue reading Emperor’s Chair
Weighing Love and Power
On July 18, 2013 in To Have and To Hold – The Moon in the Grand Sextile, I wrote: Obstacles are like logs in the river: they must be moved out of the way, but the effort needed is not large. Boy do I miss that vibe. Just like this summer in Texas, the rivers… Continue reading Weighing Love and Power
Crossing the Horizon
I first began exploring Tarot and Astrology when I was a teenager. However, it has only been a few years that I’ve tracked the planets in detail and in real-time. Exploring natal charts is one huge body of study—tracking transits is entirely another. I know many of you out there track certain aspects: full moon,… Continue reading Crossing the Horizon
Confidence and Certainty
The other day, a client sent me a Thank You note in response to a reading I gave him days earlier. At the very bottom of the card, he wrote this: P.S. Phrase of the week, “There is never certainty, only confidence.” – D. Tangredi In my experience, readings are as different as people–and I’m… Continue reading Confidence and Certainty
Good Enough
Today, I find myself contemplating this question: “What is good enough?” An obvious application of this question is with Journey to the Temple of Ra. Last night, I received my first proof. It is simply a regular book. If I approve it, the copy you see will be just the same. So, sometime in the… Continue reading Good Enough
Books and Needles
Part I - Books How many of you out there have had mystical experiences? Have you, by chance, heard someone’s thoughts in your head moments before they actually said them? Have you had premonitions of seemingly mundane events to then live through them days or hours later? Have you had tarot or psychic readings that… Continue reading Books and Needles
Extraordinary
What does it mean to be extraordinary? In a recent email conversation with a new client, I described my view of Astrology like this: “The configuration of planets is like a symphony. The music is constantly changing. We each have specific musical taste. Rap may be enjoyed by some and down right annoying to others.… Continue reading Extraordinary
