I remember vividly the first time I ever cried in school. It was the ’93-’94 school year and I was 6 or 7 years old. I could not wrap my head around multiplication. “If you have three sets of two apples, how many apples do you have?” my teacher kept asking. “Five” I kept responding, […]

Birth Time Rectification Course Launched!
Rectification is the practice of using astrological techniques to figure out someone’s birth time, especially when it’s unknown or uncertain. I consider it to be one of the hardest things an astrologer can do, because it requires such a strong foundation in natal astrology in order to reverse-engineer a natal chart. Indeed, rectification is essentially […]
Misadventures in Quantifying Essential Dignity
What is the ruler of a sign? Typically astrologers default to the domicile ruler of a sign, and while that is usually sufficient, there is some fine print we’re overlooking most of the time. There are not just domicile rulers, there are also exaltation rulers, trigon lords (triplicity rulers), decan rulers, bound rulers, etc. Depending […]
Using Annual Profections to Predict the 2022 French Presidential Election
[UPDATE April 25th 2022 – Emmanuel Macron won re-election. I got it right! Maybe you could say it’s not very impressive because there was a 50/50 chance of being correct, or that Macron was always favored to win, but my prediction was only based on astrological considerations.] In this article I’m going to try to […]
To the Moon: Lunar Transits to the Natal Chart of Dogecoin
I should probably preface everything I’m about to say with the emphatic statement that I am not giving financial advice here, I am merely noting correlations. I started dipping my toes into financial astrology a couple of years ago, and it’s been a pretty steep learning curve, both for learning more about how markets work […]
Premature Enquiration: Early Ascendant Degrees in Horary Astrology
When you ask a horary question, it should ideally be asked about a specific, developing, urgent concern. It shouldn’t just be a question borne out of idle curiosity, it should be spurred by the emergence of some pressing matter or event that is imminent or unfolding. I wrote about how to ask good horary questions […]
The Horary Mystery of the Missing Cat
Horary astrology blows my freaking mind. Here’s an example that completely blew me apart. The client gave me permission to use their anonymized information for this post. They ordered from my emergency rush 24-hour turnaround horary service to ask me the following horary question. I read and understood the question “Will I find my cat […]
3 Slightly Better Arguments for Modern Rulerships (That No One Makes)
One of the ongoing divisions in astrology has to do with traditional rulerships versus modern rulerships. The main point of contention has to do with how or if the outer planets should be integrated into the system of domicile rulerships. Modern astrologers say Uranus rules or co-rules Aquarius, Neptune rules or co-rules Pisces while Pluto […]
Conjunctions, Copresences & Dickpics
In astrology, when two planets join together at the same degree of zodiacal longitude, it is called a conjunction. The nature of conjunctions are based on the combined nature of the planets involved, and their respective conditions in the sign they are found. In a sense, the archetypal nature of each planet becomes like the […]
Saturn in Aquarius: Villains, Anti-Heroes and Nerds
On December 17th 2020, Saturn will be entering Aquarius in the tropical zodiac. Aquarius might possibly be the least understood sign of the zodiac so I wanted to shed some light on the nature of this sign through theory and analogy. Part of the confusion surrounding this sign has to do with disagreement about which […]
