Most trips have a return leg, so I repeated the previous process, casting an event chart for the flight back and matching it to our natal charts. Regarding the event itself, things look much more promising this time. Mercury and Mars, both direct and now legitimately conjunct in Virgo, are in the 9th House of … Continue reading Travel Event and Transit Charts – Part 2

Travel Event and Transit Charts
With Mercury going stationary direct at 28° Leo on September 5th, only 29 minutes after our outbound vacation flight is scheduled to depart, and the fact that it will be within two degrees of an applying across-sign conjunction with transiting Mars at that time (although it won't enter Virgo until September 10th or catch up … Continue reading Travel Event and Transit Charts
Daily Draws: My Back Pages
In the 1964 "political apostasy" song My Back Pages, Bob Dylan's refrain perfectly nailed my evolving attitude toward drawing one or more cards on a daily basis for anything other than learning purposes.

As a long-time student and reader of Aleister Crowley's esoterically profound Thoth deck, I wasn't entirely comfortable using it across … Continue reading The Professional’s Toolbox
Correspondences: How Much is Too Much?
Funny thing about esoteric correspondences. Sometimes you don't need them at all, other times you can get nowhere without at least a cursory nod to them. They're especially useful when a spread serves up a disjointed mish-mash of contradictory meanings that resists all tactics of intuition, inspiration, imagination and ingenuity. The analytical skill required to … Continue reading Correspondences: How Much is Too Much?
The In-between
In a recent essay on David Spangler's (he of the pioneering New Age pedigree) Lorian Association website (see "Strange Attractors" at http://www.lorianassociation.com), Susan Beal described how she eventually resolved the apparent conflicts between her inner and outer worlds - those of private spiritual practice on one hand and routine daily existence on the other - … Continue reading The In-between
