Like most of you, every time I see another mass shooting on the news, I’m thinking the exact same thing you are. When will this ever stop? Having grown up in Europe, the American obsession with guns is particularly bewildering and mildly terrifying. Seeing how this obsession can override even the most modest of reform proposals […]

We know about this technique from Hellenistic astrologer Vettius Valens, who wrote about it in Book VII of the Anthology under this mouthful of a chapter: “Teaching Concerning the Successful and Unsuccessful Times in Relation to ½, ⅓ and ⅔ of the Ascensions and Periods of the Stars” (Robert Schmidt translation). Valens seems to hold

I have had many clients solicit electional consultations with me to determine the best time for them to get married. Several of them had timeframes that coincided with the 2020 Venus Retrograde in Gemini. In most cases, I tried to avoid electing times during the Venus Retrograde, but sometimes I didn’t. (Gasp! What a rebel!)

I should disclose that I began my journey in astrology using the tropical zodiac and Placidus houses. After learning about Hellenistic astrology in 2006, I switched to Whole Sign Houses for every area of my astrological practice – natal, horary, electional, etc. So in fairness to you as the reader, it’s important for you to

We don’t know when Mark Zuckerberg was born, and he was born in New York which is an extremely closed state for birth times, so unless he decides to tell us or publicize his birth certificate there is no hope for clarification on this. However, I do have my suspicions about a potential rising sign

Nigel Farage is one of the primary public advocates for the UK’s departure from the European Union, also known as Brexit. In other words, one of those wankers. He is the UK’s answer to insufferable terrapin-like creatures such as Mitch McConnell. He is highly disliked by everyone who can plainly see that Brexit was ill-conceived

Saturn and Pluto are two of the more feared planets in our solar system and in early 2020, they’re meeting up in the zodiac. Saturn is boundaries, limitations, and fears. Pluto is extremes, warping and distortion. In conjunction, they become like each other, Saturn is taken to Plutonian extremes, whereas Pluto becomes concrete and realized.

Sigh. I’m a Marvel fanboy. And I could literally not be more excited about Avengers: Endgame, what is sure to be a climactic conclusion to the Infinity Saga. Being an astrologer, I’ve also been fascinated by some of the astrological factors at play for the production of the movies, and for the actors involved. Here
