The querent was concerned about an eye issue that his boyfriend was dealing with. He had already been to the ophtalmologist, got diagnosed with keratitis and was sent home with eye drops. Plus the recommendation of heading back to the office if things didn’t improve in one week. The chart tells us that Lord 7…
Based on my experience, this is one of the keys for sound judgements in horary astrology. Not long ago, a querent asked me: will I move soon? If we only analyze this in a typical dynamic between Lord 1 (the querent’s current home) and Lord 7 (the querent’s future residence), there is a clear application…
Leonard Cohen was born with Virgo rising, which makes him a child of Hermes. In his chart, Mercury is in Libra. By Whole Signs it is in the 2nd house, but by Alcabitius it is still in the 1st, which is the joy of Mercruy, tied to wit, intellect, and reason. The 1st house in…
The chart of Aleister Crowley is always an interesting one to analyse. My point in this article is to discuss the position of the Sun in his chart and how it can give indications about his spiritual iterations. His Ascendant is positioned at 7 degrees of Leo, associated in the Tarot decans established by the…
Leo Tolstoy was born into a wealthy family, landowners integrated within the Russian nobility. This at first appears to conflict with Saturn as the significator of the 2nd House, especially because it is in poor essential condition, being in detriment in Leo. Saturn is cold, dry, melancholic and deadly. Leo is hot, dry, solar, vital…
Tomorrow is the beginning of Lent, the period of forty days until Easter. The number 40 is an architecture in itself. It is the multiplication of 10 (the number of full manifestation in Pythagorean arithmetic) by four, the number of the structure of the created world, the four elements, the four gospels, the four cardinal…
António Quadros was a Portuguese philosopher and historian. António Telmo, his fraternal friend, says that Quadros felt unhappy upon being told that his horoscope was of a lunar spirit. The reason is an extremely dense stellium in the 2nd house in Cancer, with the New Moon in domicile. I checked the natal chart of António…
The word information comes from the Latin informare: in- (within) + formare (to give form, to shape, to mould something). This is seen in philosophy. For Plato, Forms or Ideas are intelligible models of reality. For Aristotle, everything that exists is composed of matter and form. Matter is what something is made of. Form, which…
The querent asked me when she would get married. With Gemini rising, her significator is Mercury. And we can also give her the Moon in this case, although not relevant in this judgement. Mercury is located in the 2nd house, in Leo, which shows that, for her, the theme of marriage is tied to material…
Fyodor Dostoevski died 145 years ago. When we look to his birth chart, we are struck right away by the brutal conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, both retrograde, in the angular 4th, and in a choleric sign like Aries that Saturn abhors. The expansion and faith of Jupiter are crushed by weight, fear, and existential…
