Uranus will be variably in tropical Taurus 2018 – 2026, supporting a global impulse of innovation in food/agri-tech, family systems, and the finance sector. However, instead of writing an article about it focused purely on astrological jargon, and in true alignment with the practical earthiness of Taurus (think a cow slowly and peacefully chewing away […]
Game of Thrones is a fantasy drama television series that premiered on HBO in April 2011. It is an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels by author George R. R. Martin. There are three main story arcs in the series. The first centres around the dynamic alliances and conflicts for […]
“Our inequality materializes our upper class, vulgarizes our middle class, and brutalizes our lower class.” – Matthew Arnold, English Essayist (1822-1888). It is difficult to find a solution to inequality (with consensus) because every mind perceives inequality differently. To find a real workable solution to inequality therefore wise men have prescribed all with firstly […]
Material in this blog post was originally penned in Dec 2016 as part of my notes for a year outlook of horoscope videos. As we approach the halfway point of the year, I thought it would be a good idea to post them in full for a useful mid-year “sense-check”. First we look into the […]
GLOBAL CONTEXT: THE OUTER PLANETS Most natal astrological work and commentaries focus primarily on the individual – a person’s career, financial, relationship, and other aspirations and probabilities of fulfillment. However, we know that whatever affects the planet we will have to face directly or indirectly, first as a common group of human, then as localized […]
In practising reading (and adhoc translating) Sanskrit as part of studying Jyotish, I am reading some astrological traditional texts and contemplating them a bit. Here is a verse from Jataka Parijata describing the effects of Śārada Yoga. स्थ्रिपुत्रबन्धुसुख रूपगुणानुरक्ता भुपप्रिया गुरुमहीसुरदेव भक्ताः | विध्यविनोद रातिशिल तपोबलाढ्य जातिः खधर्मनिरत भुवि शारदारव्ये || sthriputrabhandhusukha rUpaguNānurakta bhupapriyā gurumahIsuradeva […]
Rectification refers to the process of analysis and testing by which an astrologer confirms, arrives at, or in some way determines the birth time for a person. A time of birth is an important requirement before having an astrology consultation because it allows the astrologer to look at a chart of astrological symbolism that is […]
I refer to the following text from Julius Firmicus Maternus’ Mathesis compendium, Book VIII, Section XXX, my parenthesis added: “Those who have their ASC in the 17th degree of Pisces will sing songs with sweet melody. But if Mars is found in that same degree, they will hang themselves with a noose (commit suicide)”. WELL, […]
Important: This week’s Horoscopes have far-reaching significations because it is the week of a Solar Eclipse at 08° tropical Pisces which leads into the larger Venus Retrograde cycle which ends toward the end of April over the signs Pisces and Aries. So, you should read these horoscopes as indicating those activities that should get started […]
Scientists and researches may have created a new form of matter, called Time Crystals, because the atomic structure repeat in time. They appear to exist in constant oscillation without energy. Or more specifically, the atomic structure or lattice move and return to their original state with some frequency with the entire system not emitting any […]
This article is part of a larger body of work which I have been observing and working with for the last two years, the Astrology of Yoga. The lunar nodes are a deeply significant part of Vedic astrology, and this article will explain the esoteric significance of their mythology as well as present indications to […]
Now that we know who is President of the USA, the chart of Inauguration can be interpreted more meaningfully away from too many speculative comments. Please note that if for any reason a new President is sworn into office, the indications in this chart will be discounted. The heliacal setting star is Acumens, the star […]
“As I know mine own heart to be entirely English, I can very sincerely assure you, there is not anything you can expect or desire from me, which I shall not be ready to do, for the happiness and prosperity of England”.1 These words from the soft and sweet-voiced Queen Anne fell on the ears […]
First of all, an entire personality and life inclinations cannot be boxed up by any single symbol. A proper astrological view encompasses all the symbolism reflected in a birth chart. However, the Sun being the source of life and light in our world, the symbolism of the season in which we are born plays a […]
In many cultures around the world and through history, the Sun was a symbol of life, vitality, well-being, and health, and leadership. In the development of astrology in the 20th century, astrologers conceived of the Sun as a symbol for the purpose or construct of personality or ego. The way I conceive of the Sun […]
In light of the upcoming referendum facing the United Kingdom in its decision to stay or exit the European Union, one is drawn to question the state of Europe in general now and in the years to come. I thought I would add an event date which I think is relevant to the development of […]
This is not going to be one of those articles that regurgitate mythology. Authors like Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas have done fantastic work in bringing mythology alive in a modern context. Rather, this article is going to present a hypothesis about how Saturn actually assists us owning our Sun. There is in fact a […]
In this article, I will briefly discuss how the significance of Tantra practice is akin to the significations of Pluto in Astrology. Agama is one of the six branches of all Sanskrit scriptural literature. The Agamas are practical manuals of worship of the Divine. The Agamas contain instructions and recommendations concerning four branches of methods […]
In this article, I am going to refer to how human beings have used metals used classically in alchemy, and how this has changed, and what that perhaps tells us about where life is today. Unlike our animal brothers, human beings are not born with natural defense or attack features. It’s a little ironic for […]
