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
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
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
The Grand Sextile
The Grand Sextile has begun. At this early hour (7:00 am CDT), the moon is still earlier than the earliest degree of the other planets in the configuration. Because the six points of the Grand Sextile range from 4 degrees and change to 13 degrees (depending on which planets you include), it is hard to… Continue reading The Grand Sextile
Counterpoint Leading to the Grand Sextile
For a Grand Sextile to be pristinely exact, we need a planet every 60 degrees. Monday morning will be a pretty good approximation. What makes it more interesting still, is the presence of semi-sextile (30-degree) aspects, which simultaneously forms three squares (90 degrees), two Yods, and a T-Square. This adds counterpoint to the symphony. In… Continue reading Counterpoint Leading to the Grand Sextile

[You can access the current promotion in a few places on my blog: there’s a dedicated page you… Continue reading Venus within the Grand Sextile
Land Ho!
In yesterday's post, I talked about the relationship between the Grand Trine and the Grand Sextile as the journey from water to earth. The 3 of Wands comes to mind. 3 of Wands In this version, a man stands on the deck of a ship. He is on a journey to a new land. He… Continue reading Land Ho!
To Have and to Hold – The Moon within the Grand Sextile
The double Grand Trine in Water is still quite active. In fact, it doesn’t begin to fade until after the weekend. The moon moved through it yesterday. When the moon reaches 180 degrees from the Scorpio corner of one Trine, it will create the first Grand Sextile (7/29/2013). [Also see Mars Within the Grand Sextile… Continue reading To Have and to Hold – The Moon within the Grand Sextile
And I Feel Strong Too
On June 2, 2013, I wrote: And I Feel Strong. In it, I summarized some of the upcoming astrology and included the following aggregate chart: Today is the other end of that discussion. Yes, there is more Astrology to experience. But today, the two Grand Trines shown here are exact. And at about 9:00 am CDT,… Continue reading And I Feel Strong Too
