In my previous article (Tendency), I introduced the idea that an Astrological Birth Chart can describe one’s tendency to flow (express or project) energy (thoughts, feelings, actions, and resources) in a particular way. The Natal Chart is the starting point. By also reviewing the progressed charts, we can see how that tendency might trend over… Continue reading Actual vs Potential
In my last post, I showed how the Moon created some interesting Astrology by aspecting a multitude of other planets and points. Afterward, I noticed some other alignments on their way. The amazing part of this is how the Moon is perfectly timed as if in tune with the others. For example, Monday, the First… Continue reading Moving through Beautiful Sky Geometry
Jupiter takes about twelve years to travel the full Zodiac. This means it spends about one year in each sign. If we wanted, we could create a Jovian Calendar based on this. With Jupiter just entering the sign of Sagittarius on November 8, 2018, we could call this the start of the Year of the… Continue reading Year of the Archer
There is one configuration that I didn't discuss yesterday, along with the particular underlying aspect that helps create it. I was aware of the configuration, and familiar with the aspect, but hadn't ever looked into it enough to even learn its name. I have decided to use the chart for the exact moment the sun… Continue reading Quincunx and the Pythagorean Triangle
The planets don’t move much in a day, but today’s chart looks very different than yesterday’s. [I didn’t catch the moon exactly opposite Uranus as shown in the chart below, but I was only a few minutes off.] Notice that the Libra moon now forms a warped Grand Cross with Venus, Pluto, and Uranus. The… Continue reading The Churning Seas
Today is May 17th. (Happy Birthday, Mom!) We also happen to have four planets in four different signs each at 17 degrees. As a result, the four planets aspect each other and form an interesting visual. Consider the following chart: In addition to the four planets at 17 degrees, I added Saturn at 19 Scorpio,… Continue reading Springboard
Through chemistry, we learn that the molecules in a liquid and gas bump up against each other. When heat is added, the movement increases, and so does the frequency of contact. In human life, it works the same. Cram a lot of bodies into a room, and chances are you won’t be able to stretch… Continue reading Chemistry
We are now inside of the Grand Cross as of about two hours ago. Without intending to, I happened to sit for a quick meditation right at that time. Instantly, I fell deep into the abyss. After I pulled myself back to Earth, and as a result of a strong connection with a neighbor's dog,… Continue reading A Buzz of Emotion
The headline for today is a Full Moon lunar eclipse…and for all month it is the Grand Cardinal Cross. [See Lunar Eclipse: (Re)Balancing Thoughts and Feelings.] But we do have other aspects worth mentioning. In Astrology, adjacent signs are most contrasting. Signs that lie 180 degrees across from each other seem to be complete opposites,… Continue reading A Sensual Counterpoint
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
