To the ordinary person without a penchant for the astral, the date for Easter is always a bit of a mystery — maybe a bit of a magical mystery...

ByDawn Bodrogi July 11, 2016 5 Comments
By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published July 11, 2016 Maybe it’s because Jupiter and the North Node have been conjunct near my Sun recently.  Or maybe it’s because of the impressive and inspiring photos of Jupiter being sent from the recent Juno probe (as above–almost overwhelming, isn’t it?).  But I’m in a Jupiter frame of mind and inclined to probe it a bit myself. In early May I...

The Crucible and the Wheel: Part Four, The Second Nodal Return

ByDawn Bodrogi March 20, 2016 13 Comments
By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published March 20, 2016 I suddenly realized that I neglected to complete this series on the transiting nodes. There was a three part series on the transiting nodes and a description of the third nodal return in another article about aspects in our fifties.  And of course, the omission is the greatest one:  a description of that life-changer (or life-crisis), the...

Jupiter and the Seat of Consciousness

ByDawn Bodrogi January 31, 2016 0 Comments
By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published January 31, 2016 We have previously discussed Jupiter both as the benefic of common astrology and Jupiter in his Janus guise as guardian of the threshold. (For the two part article, click HERE .) We have also tackled Jupiter as the co-ruler of Pisces, with his inherent ability to cause loss, disillusion and deflation (not always Neptune’s territory). But...

The Glory and the Dying of the Light: Chiron/Sun

ByDawn Bodrogi September 8, 2015 9 Comments
By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published September 8, 2015 We find it easier to understand when Chiron hits any of the personal planets.  The personal planets have to do with our functioning, have to do with our effectiveness, and we understand when Chiron places a chink in our armour.  Chiron/Mercury, and our ability to move, articulate and/or take in ordinary information can be flawed (we...
