Oh My Stars

There’s no special astrological significance to January 1st in and of itself, but since it’s the beginning of the year it’s usually the time when various writers bust out the “2016 Horoscope” for the Twelve Signs. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know that’s not my usual style: Sign-based forecasts can miss…

Last time, I made a case for the producers of “Married At First Sight” hiring an astrologer in order to improve their success rate at matching couples. But of course there are no perfect people, and thus no perfect relationships… so even sound astrological principles are no guarantee of long-term relationship success. The Internet is jammed…

Dear Producers: I’ve recently started watching your show on A&E called Married At First Sight, where couples who have never met are matched up by experts and marry each other when they meet for the first time at the wedding ceremony. Even if you’ve never watched it, you can probably already see how this premise adds…

What I practice and write about is referred to as “Western Astrology.” There are other forms of astrology, most notably Vedic Astrology… the form of astrology which comes India. Vedic Astrology is incredibly powerful and accurate and I look forward to many more years of studying it. You have to be really, really, really careful…

A couple meets. They find each other attractive. The conversation flows smoothly. They fall in love and get married and make 2.5 children and live in a big house with a white picket fence. Are they soul mates? Maybe. A couple breaks up. Accusations and legal paperwork fly. They each try to make their children…

I’ve been a professional astrologer for over twenty years, but the story really begins back when I was six years old. I was handed a book — The Compleat Astrologer — by my mother. “There’s too much math for me,” she said. Besides, the book’s original owner (my then-twenty-year-old half-sister) had been hauled away by the cops…

If you’ve watched many crime shows in the modern era, you’ve likely seen plenty of situations like this: our heroes are looking at a blurry security camera picture of a car late at night… “I can’t make out the license plate number. Zoom in and enhance!” (Insert computer effects) “Arkansas plate number JKL 456… that…

(LAST TIME: I discussed the controversial and potentially dangerous subject of using astrology to predict death. If you have a problem with the subject, go back there and leave your comments. However, if you’re brave enough to want to see how the astrological sausage is made, read on. And if not… drop by next time…

It may just be because I recently successfully completed my fiftieth journey around The Sun, but of late my mind has turned to the subject of using astrology to predict death. Shut up. I’ve written here about the subject before, but it always seems to come up within the context of a recent celebrity death.…

LAST TIME: I explained the difference between Placidus Houses (the system most Western Astrologers use) and Whole Sign Houses (which a smaller but growing number of Western Astrologers use). This time, I’m going to show you the difference between how they work with a specific example, that of George Lucas (born May 14 1944, 5:40…
