AUTHOR'S NOTE: The recent unsealing of the affidavit of Kayla Montgomery in the case of the alleged 2019 murder of then-5-year-old Harmony Montgomery by her father, Adam Montgomery, has pumped fresh life into the investigation. I've been following and performing tarot and horary astrology readings on this case since early January of 2022. I went … Continue reading Harmony’s Disappearance: A Reboot

The “Tarot of Place” Situational Outlook Spread
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is a spread that takes its design from the directional model of horary astrology while also offering an opportunity to bring the pendulum into play. In horary astrology, the geographic location of the astrologer and not that of the querent or the "quesited" (that which is being asked about) is a key … Continue reading The “Tarot of Place” Situational Outlook Spread
Anatomy of a Horary Failure
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Back in 2017 I wrote an essay on the subject of "strictures against judgment" in horary astrology, those conditions pertaining to a horoscope that render it unfit for interpretation (i.e. it is not considered "radical"). Although I don't adhere rigidly to this principle, I recently cast a missing-person chart for an Oregon "cold … Continue reading Anatomy of a Horary Failure
The Horary Difference
Horary astrology is different, and its distinction - as well as its charm - lies in its economy of expression. As a psychological astrologer doing natal horoscopes back in the '70s, I prided myself on the thoroughness of my chart delineation. I didn't have a computer early on and it was not unusual for a … Continue reading The Horary Difference
A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although this horary forecast is scheduled to appear in a future issue of the online AstroLogic magazine, I wanted to present it here first since I'm working on Part 2 and didn't want to wind up in a "cart > horse" situation when I publish it. The success of my Sarah Palin prediction … Continue reading A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1
A Horary Success – Sarah Palin’s Failed Political Initiative
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This essay was first published in the September 2022 issue of the online AstroLogic magazine. It was written in early August, at which time the Alaskan special-election outcome was undecided. As we now know, Palin was unsuccessful in her bid. Sarah Palin's Political Reboot: A Horary Perspective The mainstream media has recently been … Continue reading A Horary Success – Sarah Palin’s Failed Political Initiative
“Where, Oh Where, Is My . . .”
. . . little dog, gold necklace, missing brother, true love?" There has been a recent uptick in questions on the social-media pages about the use of the tarot to locate anything that has gone missing or has yet to be found. The first thing to point out in this regard is that, while tarot … Continue reading “Where, Oh Where, Is My . . .”
What Happened to Harmony? – A Horary Perspective (Updated)
UPDATE: Hindsight, they say, is "20/20." In re-examining this reading after the unsealing of Kayla Montgomery's affidavit in this case, two things jump out at me: the idea that Harmony was "spirited away" squares with the testimony that her father, Adam Montgomery, permanently disposed of her body after moving it around for months; and the … Continue reading What Happened to Harmony? – A Horary Perspective (Updated)
A Reasonable Assumption
As regular readers of this blog know, I'm not an advocate of remote tarot reading of any kind although, with COVID keeping me away from "live" divination venues for the foreseeable future, I've been doing a few of them by email. The thought struck me that useful parallels might be drawn between the conventions of … Continue reading A Reasonable Assumption
Carpe Momentum!
Recently, on the Tarot Professionals Facebook page, Marcus Katz mentioned the aphorism "The oracular moment is sacrosanct." This got me thinking about the instant in time when each tarot card is randomly drawn from the deck to populate a spread. These linked cards are imprinted with the subtle influences inherent in that temporal interval, whether … Continue reading Carpe Momentum!
