As I originally wrote about these two articles, these remind us we are Eternals riding the ever-changing waves of Earthly existence, and there’s really no need to sweat the small stuff. We have far more choice than we usually remember about how we can experience what's going on, and whether we're having a good time or not in the midst of the great uncertainty of our times.
Due to current events shaping our future and several well meaning comments concerning the brutality of the Chinese government against the semi-autonomous people of Tibet, I figured a place where people can post is needed. So here it is. If you want to weigh in on the subject, consider this an "open thread." Aum Mani Padme Hum.
Right now and over the next 48 hours, we have an exact Sun square Mars. Adding to the volatility, today's Moon in Capricorn squares the Sun and opposes Mars. This is a very powerful T-square, throwing the void into 10 Libra, a degree of relief. This is a particularly intense transit, marking a culmination in the Sun-Mars cycle.
I was asked to comment on the recent conjunctions at 20 Pisces with Jupiter at 20 Capricorn, Chiron at 20 Aquarius, with the Moon joining the " 20 degree club" at 20 Sag on March 27-28. This was a very productive set of fusions and resonant patterns impacting us in important ways over the next year. Though this article is somewhat technical, we can learn a lot by examining the forces involved.
This is another in the series of how our charts work in terms of our "real world" experiences. If you've ever wondered why people suddenly appear or disappear in your life, today's article may clarify why they did, and what function or lesson they brought.
This is the next in a series of articles where I try to answer some questions posed by readers of this column. In this article we will examine the question "Doesn't astrology imply a lack of 'faith?'"
This is a rerun of a series from a while ago about how Astrology relates to intuition, hunches, belief systems, and other internal reference points. I originally wrote this article as a response to a question a friend posited, that being "Why can't someone just rely on their intuition instead of astrology?" I suppose the short answer is that you can, but just be ready to take the consequences of acting with incomplete knowledge. While true intuition is always accurate, the problem is knowing whether we're operating from intuition or another set of feeling assumptions that may have been formed by less than accurate perceptions.
I'm taking a break from answering comments until Friday, since I have work to catch up on. I'll be checking in to see what's going on and delete spam. Ciao and mahalo!
In a recent post I noted there is a difference between types of karma. This article was originally written to offer ways of navigating the regular karmic storms that blow through our lives, whether those generated by our actions, the actions of another, or seeming "divine events" and "acts of God." There are many kinds of karma, though they all fall into one of two main groups. Knowing these can help explain why things happen as they do.
When the Moon is Void of Course (VOC) it means that it makes no more major aspects to other planets before it leaves a sign. It is a phenomenon of the transiting Moon, and there is a lot of controversy about what its influence is, and whether we should punt our lives and affairs during those times. It is said that nothing happens of note, and so is supposedly a good time for filing tax returns, but a bad time for getting nominated for the presidency.
Every so often I get asked if there is such a thing as bad luck. The simple answer is yes and no. As for bad karma, we all know there is such a thing, but often have a hard time dealing with it, whether our own or another's. Today's article takes a new look at these things that seem to exist, from the angle that we have far more power to overcome and transmute bad luck and bad karma than we usually think.
By now, most readers here are familiar with what I have termed "The Grand Irrationality." As you know, it is associated with the ongoing Neptune septile Pluto, with obsessions, compulsions, and widespread irrationality in the air for many years. Today we take a new look at ways to cope with this energy, and maybe even find ways to surf the waves with style, grace, humor, and adeptness.
