The mystery of Love has always carried within it a hidden wound and a hidden flame. Traditional astrology contains the Lot of Eros, drawn from the relation between Venus and Spirit. This Lot is a cipher of the soul’s capacity for desire consecrated. It reveals that Love spreads through the body, through pleasure, through the…
The Gospel of Matthew preserves one of the fiercest moments in the ministry of Yeshua. Chapter 23 resounds with seven cries of judgement, the ouai hurled against the hypocrisy of the religious guides of his time. These “woes” are words of fire that expose, wound and cleanse. They cut into the heart of falsehood with…
The smallest lands often conceal the heaviest mysteries. At the very edge of Europe, pressed between mountains and ocean, Portugal became a paradox. It was fragile, poor, and peripheral, but named as vessel of a destiny that reached beyond empires. Those who discerned its secret intuited that this land could never be reduced to armies…
The Tree of Life is a living map of Divine procession. Its three columns hold the mystery of balance and movement, but the central axis bears a special role, since it binds the heights of the Crown with the depths of the Kingdom. This vertical line is the living current through which the unseen breath…

This year the Great Feast of the Dormition unfolds under a sky with the Moon exalted in Taurus; the lunar current is strong, clothed in the earth. In her exaltation, she mirrors the role of Mary as the sacred container of the Light of the Logos, the Speculum Iustitiae in which divine justice reflects without…
The heavens have long told the tale of two archetypes who seem to share the same face under different veils. Guardian of tides and memory, the Moon embodies the Mother who nourishes and protects. Venus, star of dawn and evening, wears the mantle of the Beloved whose beauty draws the soul into union. In the…
The opening riff of “Thunderstruck” is a flash in the dark, the violent descent of a force that splits the heavens apart. This bolt is the arrow of a higher order, the discharge of a current that belongs to realms above the seven planetary spheres. This is the domain of the Ogdoad, the Eighth Heaven,…
It is Wednesday, the mercurial day when the currents of understanding and reconciliation move swiftly between the worlds, and the mind is called to weave together the visible and the invisible. Under the wings of the Archangel Raphael, the card drawn for this day is The World. In the parable recorded in Matthew 21:28-32, the…
