Sometimes astrology can be very literal. The outbound phase of our vacation travel went smoothly in that there were no air-travel "situations" at any of the airports. However, I was watching that 12th-House Mars in Virgo closely and it didn't disappoint. Mars rules irritability, Mercury has an association with both Air and Earth, and if I … Continue reading Update – Travel Event Charts

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
“Cheap Shots” #13 – 2150 or Bust
There is a thread on the Astrologers' Community forum titled "Is Anyone Else Tired of Waiting for the Age of Aquarius to Take Effect?"

Looks like a time of great emotional unrest (but also awareness), hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth. It will … Continue reading 2017 Solar Eclipse in the Sibly USA Chart
Eclipse Mania
There are two ways to look at transiting "sky events." The more common one is to see how they relate to the natal chart positions of a person, organization, country, etc. If there are no meaningful contacts, there are usually no events (and quite often there are no events even when there are such contacts; … Continue reading Eclipse Mania
Octile House Divisions in Astrology
In the mid-1970s, my brother and I were involved in the Hartford, CT astrological community, and we were also deeply absorbed in exploring the work of Reinhold Ebertin and the German Cosmobiologists. The German astrologers held that only the eight "hard aspects" show any outward manifestation in the life of a native, those defined by … Continue reading Octile House Divisions in Astrology
