On May 31st, the Moon turns full at 9°56'...

Spiral Up or Down? The Second Progressed Lunar Return

ByDawn Bodrogi August 6, 2011 15 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published August 6, 2011 There was a lot of interest stirred up by my articles on the Progressed Lunar Return: both the one on the 27 Club and the one on the Progressed Moon/Saturn cycle. When people first hear about the progressed lunar return, they often get a very wise ‘a ha’ look in their eyes, as if they knew that something was going on at the time but...

The 27 Club: Crossing the Astrological Threshold

ByDawn Bodrogi July 24, 2011 12 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published July 24, 2011 With the sad death of Amy Winehouse reported in the news, I’m afraid we’re going to hear an awful lot about “The 27 Club”–a list of celebrities who never made it to 28. Requiescat en pace to their newest member, and also wishing peace to all who loved her. The assumption in the public is that 27 is some kind of magical number,...

ByDawn Bodrogi April 9, 2010 9 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published April 9, 2010 …in a land far, far away, there lived a — Well, let’s call it an archetype. In astrology, we are dealing with an organized symbolic system. It is also a study of the interaction between the archetypal energies symbolized. Now, some people would disagree with the fact that there is such a thing as an archetypal energy within an...

Soli-Lunar Phasal Relationship

ByDawn Bodrogi January 14, 2010 9 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published January 14, 2010 There have been a number of articles on this site regarding the relation between the Moon and the Sun and how they work in tandem to grow consciousness through experience, and you can find them by looking through either ‘Moon’ or ‘Sun’ in the category sections below, or searching the archives. However, a surprising number of you...

Which Way Forward? The Nodes, part two

ByDawn Bodrogi December 17, 2009 7 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published December 17, 2009 In our last article on the nodes, The Hungry Moon, we learned that we have to analyze the state of the evolving consciousness (the Moon, its positioning, and aspects, plus dispositors, and its phasal relationship to the Sun) before we begin to understand the meaning of the nodes. The Sun creates and integrates the new experiences that...

Synastry Q & A: The Soli-Lunar Midpoint

ByDawn Bodrogi December 4, 2009 40 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published December 4, 2009 “I’ve heard that the soli-lunar midpoint is important in synastry. What role does it play?” A midpoint is the place of ultimate tension between any two astrological factors. When planets or lights are involved, anything hitting that point will activate the development of both planets, and be strongly felt. It’s a very sensitive,...

The Hungry Moon: The Nodes, part one

ByDawn Bodrogi November 20, 2009 5 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published November 20, 2009 Please read the article “The Nodes: An Introduction” before this piece. In a number of articles in this space, we have been taken through what the Moon represents in our charts (See The Mystery of Solar Fire (part two), The Marriage of Sun and Moon, and the articles on the way the Moon and Saturn partner in synastry). The Moon is the...

The Chart Workshop: Trickster Aspects

ByDawn Bodrogi November 16, 2009 15 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published November 16, 2009 Okay, hands up—how many of you missed the Venus/Neptune square in Tony Perkins’ chart? I was waiting to see if anyone would comment on it, as it was relevant to the discussion. None of the astrology enthusiasts I spoke to privately about the chart picked it up. Neptune, the North Node ruler and dispositor of the Moon, square Venus in...

Synastry Studies: The Nodes–An Introduction

ByDawn Bodrogi November 10, 2009 10 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published November 10, 2009 You’ll see as we move on that I use the Nodes a great deal, particularly in synastry. Experience has taught me that the Nodes are active, vital, almost magnetic points in the chart, and behave much the way the angles do, drawing in experience and processing it. However, where the angles are primarily about identity, the Nodes have a...

The Chart Workshop: House Rulerships

ByDawn Bodrogi November 8, 2009 5 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published November 8, 2009 My questions are about planets in houses. I understand that the sign on the cusp of the house rules the house. But what about the other sign in that house? I’m confused. What if most of that sign falls into the house prior to the one it rules? Growing up as a kid my mom had my chart done and it was done in Koch calculation. Which had an...

ByDawn Bodrogi October 13, 2009 37 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published October 13, 2009 Please read The MC/IC (part one) before this piece. This week we’ll wrap up our discussion on the MC/IC and its part in synastry. If you’re interested in going deeper, I go into more detail in my class on the angles, the cardinal signs and the part they play in sexual identity and development. In the class I talk about the interlocking...

Beyond Mom and Dad: Saturn as a Relationship Planet (Part Two)

ByDawn Bodrogi October 6, 2009 20 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published October 6, 2009 I’ve had comments that this information about Saturn is a lot to take in, so the Synastry Q & A normally scheduled for Fridays will be suspended for this week. I’ll resume answering questions on synastry next Friday. Please read Part One of this article (Saturn as a Relationship Plant (part One) before moving on to this...

Beyond Mom and Dad–Saturn as a Relationship Planet (Part One)

ByDawn Bodrogi October 5, 2009 8 Comments

By Dawn Bodrogi · Originally published October 5, 2009 Please read “Synastry Studies: The MC/IC (Part One)” where we discussed various meanings and processes of the IC and began discussing its influence on relationship. This week, I’m going to discuss Saturn as a relationship planet in its neglected role as the natural partner to the Moon, relating to the IC and MC. This is part one. Part...
