I’ve been sorting through marriage surveys for a few weeks now, running transits, secondary progressions, and solar arc directions for each birth chart for the date of marriage and scrutinizing them against a long checklist. Basically, I was curious to see how all the things I’ve ever learned/read/told other people about finding marriage in the [...]

Chart torquing

April — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:40:22 +0000

I’ve been doing a lot of electional astrology lately - more than usual. It’s a process that involves sitting for hours in front of Win*Star (I use Solar Fire for most things, but I prefer Win*Star’s rectification tool) toggling charts by an hour here, a minute there, trying to keep nasty planets out of the [...]

New neighbors

April — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:43:02 +0000

Last May - just a couple of months after my progressed Moon nudged its way into my third house (the house of neighbors) - our beloved next-door neighbor died. Since then, the dear old house next door has been sitting empty, and I imagine it must have been as stunned to lose Mildred - its [...]

New Moon in Aries: Faces of Mars

April — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:07:29 +0000

NEW MOON IN ARIES Sat. April 5, 2008 8:55 pm PDT / 11:55 pm EDT Sun and Moon at 16.44 Aries Faces of Mars Energy — that fine, pure dominion of Mars — is, in fact, the common denominator of life and death; hence, its astrological rulership of both Aries (birth) and Scorpio (death). In the garden, there is no [...]

Ever the fool

You can imagine how much fun it is for me each year when April 1 rolls around. On the one hand, my website traffic spikes enormously, thanks to Google searches like “April astrology.” On the other hand:”Oh, it’s April’s a Fool Day!” my friends loved to squeal when I was a kid, and back in [...]

Gods restrain me…

Venus (goddess of property) is getting ready to oppose Saturn (god of getting way in over one’s head) tomorrow, and I’ve fallen dangerously in love with a house - a surprisingly affordable 1929 bungalow in a great part of town. It’s a bit of a mess (because that’s what I love in a house… Venus [...]
