The heavens prepare a scenario of deep weight as the Sun and Moon join in the final degree of Virgo for a partial solar eclipse. Both luminaries and the regent Mercury will stand in the bounds of Saturn, whilst Saturn himself opposes them directly from Pisces, retrograde and in his own Egyptian bound too. It…
If interested in a personal liturgy, please consult this portal. Mercury has just stepped into Libra, the seventh house of the zodiac, the Descendant. He leaves behind his own exalted quarters in the mutable earth of Virgo. Called Hermes by the Greeks, Thoth by the Egyptians, and Raphael by the mystics, he shifts his emerald…
The drama of the soul is the drama of exile. In the human heart the memory of unity lingers, but mundane life is lived in division. The psyche carries within it a double figure: the self presented to the light and the hidden shadow. To integrate that shadow is to acknowledge the dyad within and…
The Six of Pentacles holds a strange place in the Tarot. It does not dazzle with visions of towers or stars. It does not promise triumph or thunder. It shows a man giving coins, a balance in his hand, two figures at his feet. At first sight it may look ordinary, a social gesture of…

Today the Moon stands at nine degrees of Cancer, in her watery throne, waning, under the Venusian bound. She returns home after a turbulent lunation: it began in Virgo with the labour of service, then reached its peak in Pisces under a total lunar eclipse. The ruler of that eclipse was Jupiter, himself exalted in…
“É a Tua face que eu procuro, Senhor.”“It is Your face that I seek, Lord.” The phrase inscribed upon the Portuguese writer António Telmo’s gravestone carries the purest confession of the soul. It is a sentence where philosophy becomes prayer. To seek the face of the Divine is to stand in the position of Sophia,…
Language hides the map of the soul. Words that in daily speech are used lightly once carried within them the full weight of heaven. To consider meant to look at the stars, to stand under the sky, to read in their light the measure of human time. Design comes from the act of marking with…
A Collective Oracle for the Meeting in the Sixth House of the Zodiac. If interested in a personal liturgy, please consult this portal. The Sun and Mercury have met once more, at twenty degrees of Virgo, in the bound of Jupiter, within the sixth house of the zodiacal circle. This is the second union of…
