Right now, we are in the middle of a triple conjunction in Scorpio including Venus, Saturn, and the North Node of the moon. The North Node is not an object and is thus invisible, but both Venus and Saturn are visible and can be seen sitting next to each other just above the western horizon… Continue reading Crossing the Bottom of the Sky

Kites-a-Flyin’
As the month of August comes to a close, it is time for me to make a bit of a confession to you. I like to do this every now and again, and it has been a while. I’m sure there are many of you reading this that are fairly new to my blog, so… Continue reading Kites-a-Flyin’
Opposing Neptune and the Grand Sextile
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
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
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
