When a person ends a difficult day and draws the Six of Wands, the first reaction is often confusion. How can a card of victory appear when the mood has fallen into defeat? The answer lies in understanding what kind of victory the symbol represents. It does not describe success in ordinary terms, but the…
The ninth house, known as domus Dei, is the temple of ascent. It traditionally belongs to the mutable fire of Sagittarius, a masculine, diurnal sign that burns through knowledge and expands through faith. It is a cadent house, leaning away from the zenith but joined to the Ascendant by a trine, and so carries the…
The heavens are currently saturated with the element of Water. The three signs of the humid, nocturnal triplicity – Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces – form a silent chain across the sky, breathing the letter Mem through all their tides. The intellectual principle, the expansive heart, and the structure of form are now all immersed in…
The entry of Mercury into Scorpio marks a decisive moment in the sky’s silent liturgy. After the pale equilibrium of Libra, where Mercury performed its subtle movemente at the gates of the Descendant, the god of mediation and ambiguity now plunges into the deep water of Scorpio. The passage from cardinal air to fixed water…
The number 666 has been feared, condemned, and distorted, but its origin can be found in the Sacred arithmetic of Light. Long before it was cast into shadow, ancient magi recognised it as the numerical body of the Sun. When the numbers from one to thirty-six are summed, they yield six hundred and sixty-six, forming…
The element of fire is the paradox of sanctity. It consumes and preserves. It devours matter but defends the Spirit. When someone sets fire to their own house, or when a nation burns its own capital, the act transcends the rational field of strategy. It becomes a rite of interior protection. In these gestures, the…
Resh ר is a radiant sigil of awakening. It is the twentieth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and the one that corresponds to The Sun in the Tarot; the same card where a child stands beneath the living orb, naked and free, facing the brilliance without fear. Resh contains the same message in sight and…
Astrology reveals paradoxes hidden within the order of the heavens. When Capricorn, the natural sign of the tenth house, is placed at the fourth, the axis turns inside out. What is usually the summit of visibility becomes the deepest of roots. The mountain sign descends into the cavern. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, if placed here,…
When Jesus, in the Gospel of John, tells Nicodemus that one must be born again to see the Kingdom of God, the disciple responds with astonishment: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” (John 3:4). The exchange reveals the…
The Lot of Spirit is seen as a place of fire, a secret measure traced between Sun and Moon, where the intelligence of light crosses into the vessel of the soul. It is not the same as the Lot of Fortune, one that speaks of chance, body, and survival. Spirit points toward intent, command, and…
