“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” There is a great temptation for those who follow astrology to evade the responsibility of free choice. Each of us is a soul, with an attendant body; and that soul...

The long astral summer of retrogrades and eclipses is over. Now what? We get a breather, that’s what. The outer planets are still retrograde, tho’ Saturn goes direct on September 6th; but all the personal planets are moving forward, which allows us to pick up again...

Every so often, we come to places of transition—watershed moments that lead us away from the known past towards a future that is both unfamiliar and uncertain. Uncomfortable places, that make us feel precarious and vulnerable; and, yet, this is where growth takes...

A great deal has been written about love and fear—the archetypal wolves in a deadly fight for dominance in each of us—and which one will triumph, the punch-line being “Depends on which you feed.” Well and good; and true, as far as it goes; but I think there’s an even...

I was thinking about the literally thousands of asteroids active as well as planets in any given moment—the moment someone is born—and about where to begin a reading, when there are so many elements in play. There are no hard-and-fast rules, no set formulas, at least...
