In Celebration of Jupiter
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…
The Crucible and the Wheel: Part Four, The Second Nodal Return
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…
Beyond the Wound: A Brief Chiron Cookbook
The following is a cookbook description of Chiron contacts with the personal planets in relationship. It is an edited excerpt from my upcoming book on Chiron in synastry, Beyond the Wound: Chiron always weaves a spell in the beginning. Unlike the spell of Neptune, which…

I am very pleased to announce that my article on The Moon, Mercury and Mind has been published in the New Zealand Journal of Astrology. It's a beautiful publication and I'm honored to contribute. Thank you, editor Rachel Dalley.
Jupiter and the Seat of Consciousness
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…
Crossroads of Consciousness: Astrological Insights and Awareness
Nearly everyone these days has heard of the infamous Saturn Return we experience around the age of 30 — I've even seen greeting cards that say, "Sorry about your Saturn return." However, few realise that the Saturn return is the culmination of earlier cyclical crises.…
The Glory and the Dying of the Light: Chiron/Sun
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…
Sacred Earth (Part Two)
Atrabilious: Gloomy, morose, melancholy, morbid, irritable, bad tempered, splenetic Entelechy: A realization or actuality as opposed to a potentiality. A vital agent or force directing growth and life.
Sacred Earth (Part One)
No one really thinks about it, but all of the elemental triumvirates follow the same pattern, no matter the element. There is initiation or inception, process or testing, and then building or result. In Fire, there is the inception of Aries followed by the process…
Louis Pasteur: Germ Theory Pioneer & Astrological Chart Analysis
If you've ever overcome a serious illness, you most likely owe your life to this hard-working scientist.

Goethe’s Astrological Chart: The Lilith Influence on a Creative Genius
It is difficult to provide a short synopsis of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the sheer breadth of his accomplishments. This analysis of the Goethe astrology chart reveals the planetary dynamics behind the man who ignited the Romantic movement. As a novelist, dramatist, and poet,…
Key to the BML Challenge
As discussed, the chart of the serial killer was chart #7, Ted Bundy. The first chart was the genius mathematician Alan Turing. The rest are as follows, and we will discuss them all in the next post: Chart # 2: Goethe, writer, philosopher and statesman,…
Beyond Planet and Aspect: Astrological Alchemy Part One
I remember very distinctly the day I discovered what was to be the central ‘key’ to my own chart. It wasn’t very early in my studies, I was somewhere in my late twenties, trying to figure out why it was only disasters in love that…
The Black Moon Lilith Quiz — Chart Number One
In sorting through these seven charts, we needed to ask some questions, especially when confronted with the power of Alan Turing Black Moon Lilith. First, what qualities are we looking for? What differentiates a sociopath from an ordinary person? I would think that we would…
