Yesterday I had a conversation about astrology with someone interested in the subject. Today I cast a horary chart to understand the aftermath of what took place. The Ascendant is Gemini, so I am signified by Mercury. Mercury is in the 9th house, the house of Astrology (of course!), in Pisces, in detriment and fall,…
By virtue of my astrological chart, I meditate a great deal on Saturn. It is by far the strongest and most capable planet in my map. It is in Capricorn, in domicile, and even in its own term, in the 4th house, at the bottom of the chart. It is domiciled and angular, capable of…
It is said that Pessoa, a profound student of occultism and astrology, as well as a learned connoisseur of the Hermetic arts in general, managed to foresee his death and missed the mark by only a few months.

Let’s take a look at his chart. The stellium in the 12th house…
If he were still alive, Paul Auster today would be celebrating his 79th birthday. He was one of my favourite writers when I was a teenager, and I decided to take a look at his chart. I. The Venusian Women of His Life I right away spotted Venus in Sagittarius, in the 2nd house. This…
