The episod of John 6:16-21 takes place immediately after the multiplication of the loaves. The disciples, without Jesus, go down to the lake of Tiberias. The wind is strong, the night falls, and the crossing becomes perilous. In the midst of the turbulent sea, Jesus appears walking upon the waters and utters Ego eimi –…
Mars is now in Sagittarius, leaving his domicile in Scorpio, where he led a rare four-planet stellium. He has lost its essential dignity (domicile and triplicity) and is now peregrine, ruled by Jupiter. And not just any Jupiter, a Jupiter exalted in Cancer and about to turn retrograde. I. Technical The dispositor is now ready…
The Justice card as the work of Tikkun: Venus in Libra, path of Lamed between Geburah and Tifereth, restoring divine balance through learning and light. I. The Sign of Libra and the Breath of Equilibrium Libra opens one of the four gates of creation, as it is Air Cardinal, the first impulse of the mind…
The All Souls’ Day always takes place when the Sun crosses Scorpio. The same drama repeats itself each year, with Christ-Logos descending into the black waters, and consciousness faces its own reflection in the deep. The Sun that rules the living walks for a time among the dead, and the veil between both worlds grows…

The saints are its organs and the unknown righteous its invisible breath. On this day the veil between heaven and earth becomes softer and the Corpus Mysticum breathes again through…
Languages do not die. The words uttered in temples and deserts remain suspended in the subtle air, their syllables repeating themselves in the invisible. Each sacred tongue becomes a vessel of vibration; through long use it condenses into a presence, a field of memory. The prayers of the dead stratify the astral atmosphere, forming egregores.…
The soul moves in circles. It descends, forgets, and rises again through the long geometry of time. Every civilisation that looked at death saw this motion turning behind the veil of the world. The wheel repeats itself through Egypt, India, Greece, or the secret heart of Israel, pointing to the same transmigration. Its revolutions are…
The final lines of the Letter to the Romans contain the kiss of peace, the osculum sanctum. In the early assemblies, the faithful would exchange the kiss before the communion of bread and wine. Lips met as the sign that the same breath moved within them. The rite was simple, but its simplicity veiled a…
In the Letter to the Colossians, Paul speaks of a mystery hidden from the ages and now made manifest: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). I. The Fulfilment of the Body The phrase is literal, as it declares an indwelling presence, a Divine seed that must grow until it takes form in…
All Saints’ Day (1 November) and All Souls’ Day (2 November) form a liturgical diptych, an axis between Heaven and the Christian Underworld. I. A Liturgical Descent Historically, the first liturgical date of November was established in the eighth century as Solemnis Omnium Sanctorum. Pope Gregory III consecrated a chapel in St Peter’s Basilica to…
