The Astrology: Tomorrow morning at 11:00 am CDT, the moon helps form a chart that is quite beautiful: [You can also view and interact with the chart via: http://planetwatcher.com/#1399651200 ] Notice the Mystical Rectangle formed by the moon opposite Chiron semisextile to the sun nearly opposite Saturn. You can also see the faint remainder of… Continue reading Empirical Data

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
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
Venus within the Grand Sextile
Earlier this week, we had some significant aspects going on. I was so busy with the announcement of my new novel: Journey to the Temple of Ra, I couldn’t take the time out to write about it. [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
