Oh My Stars

ARIES  “Hmph. Like we had any intention of turning back, anyway…” TAURUS  “Ah, we must be entering The Bakery District. Pull over!” GEMINI  “Let me drive. I can handle this one.” CANCER  (Sobbing) “No one helped me cross the street when I was a kid” LEO  “Remember when you used to do things like that…

Astrology, like any decent science or philosophy, answers a lot of questions and raises new ones. Yesterday’s mass shooting in San Bernardo has me asking even more new questions. As was the case with the rioting in Ferguson Missouri, we can see something was about to snap just by the inception date for the city…

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 do?

One of the more common situations people become concerned with in their love lives  is what…

Astrology is a complex field — as complex as the human hearts and events that it concerns itself with. What I practice is called “Western Astrology” (as opposed to Vedic or Chinese or Mesoamerican) and it is so full of various techniques that, quite frankly, I doubt that many astrologers are familiar with or use…

I (and many other commentators) out there have written about the Saturn-Neptune Square happening now, and how it is the source of many problems and obstacles and generally seems to be making a lot of things collapse. Saturn square Neptune naturally represents a time when hard work and order clash with belief and delusion, and…

You’d be surprised the things you can do with astrology. Sure you can figure out a person’s personality, past and future, romantic or employment potential, and so on.
