Oh My Stars

We create our own dramas for our own amusement, and frequently participate in the dramas of others for the same reason. This is one of the reasons why television is so popular, and part of the reason why we get so agitated when a favorite series comes to the end of a season. In my…

Ah, the Full Moon. Is there anything that causes more agitation? The answer is, obviously, “yes.” But fear not, oh Astrology Fan, a Full Moon never killed anyone. Well, okay — to be accurate — a Full Moon never killed anyone without a bunch of other transits also happening at the same time. You don’t…

One more article about that thing that happened on Tuesday, and then — unlike most of your Facebook friends — I’ll be done talking about it. Honest! This is not a blog entry about politics, by the way. It’s more about “meta-politics”: the thoughts and ideas and emotions that go into the person/party/philosophy you vote…

If you’ve been doing astrology readings for people as long as I have, there are a couple of things you soon learn. One is that the transits which cause people the most trouble will eventually end to be replaced with better days… and another is that one person’s bad transit can be good news for…

Here’s the most important astrological forecast of the month. Really? Yes! Why? Knowing when the Moon Void of Course is happening is probably the handiest of all the common astrological techniques. Learn it, make it work for you, and save yourself tons of unnecessary aggravation! Seriously: you want to see what REAL astrology can REALLY…

Also previously, I picked on the minor aspects a little because, well… they’re minor aspects (click here for that). A few people…

I’ve written about the aspects — how planets in your birth chart interact with each other — before, and yet it seems the subject needs more explanation. Here, for example, are the major aspects as seen through the Star Wars films. (WARNING: If you’re learning astrology and get everything exactly right the first time, you’re…

The aspects between planets in a birth chart is one of the major factors determining how that planet’s energies manifest. But what if a planet receives no aspects from the others at all?
