In questions like this, we want to see good receptions, first all, then an aspect to see if the marriage is there to happen. The first thing that caught my attention was the debilitated state of Lord of the 7th, which is Saturn in Aries. The planet is very much weakened, which says that the…
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…
The querent reached out to ask whether one of her closest friends will get an excellent job at a major car company. The friend is signified by Lord 11, the Moon in Sagittarius. Her job is the derived 10th from the 11th, which is the radical 8th, so the job is signified by Jupiter exalted…
A very interesting question from the querent. He wanted to know whether he would like his new look, involving a considerable change of style from head to toe. L1 is the querent with the new look in the future. So, we have peregrine Venus in Gemini, an accurate significator, as she is the goddess of…
In traditional astrology, the 9th House is called the House of God. We cannot take this literally, as if God could reside in a division of the astrological wheel. The Divine exceeds the entire figure. He is above it, within it, before it, and beyond it. The Ninth House is “of God” not because it…
How can an empty 5th house represent an artist like Björk? Let us look at this. By Alcabitius, the cusp of the 5th house falls in Aries, and Mars is exalted in Capricorn in the 2nd by quadrant houses and in the 3rd by Whole Signs, so it is a planet of great essential strength…
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…
In Pope Benedict XVI’s birth chart, we see Pisces rising, which aligns him with the archetype of the Christian Age, with Pisces on the Ascendant and Sagittarius on the Midheaven, an age inaugurated with the birth of Christ and lasting until the transition into the Age of Aquarius. We still live in a period in…
A querent contacted me to find out more about the nature of a mystical experience which he says he is still unable to put into words, involving a very intense vision exactly one year ago. Upon opening the chart, we see Virgo rising, which immediately indicates the querent’s difficulty in understanding, rationalising, processing and articulating…
