Venus at 26° Virgo is still in her zodiacal fall. The goddess of pleasure, desire, and aesthetic relationality is currently forced to descend into a terrain of analysis, modesty, and correction. As if Aphrodite had to wash her feet before being adored or serve tea with hands wounded by labour. There is a vestal sort…
After considering astrologically this Mercurial movement through Scorpio, the sign attached the eighth house of the zodiac, with all its aspects, we now turn to the divinatory art of the Tarot to interpret the meaning of this passage. The word divination comes from the Latin divinatio, derived from divinus, meaning “divine”, which itself originates from…
The Sun now stands in its fall, in the seventh house of the Wheel. This is the Descendant, the western point of the heavens, aligned with the sign of Libra. The direction we call the West was named in Latin occidens, from the verb occidere: ob meaning “down” or “toward”, and cadere meaning “to fall”.…
The heavens are currently saturated with the element of Water.

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…
If interested in a personal liturgy, please consult this portal. The sky has just unfolded a rare cycle. Two new moons were born in Virgo, both between eclipses. This seldom seen two-fold beginning marks a labour that cannot be resolved in one attempt. The firmament ponders that the question bound to the sign involved requires…
Every year the ingress of the Sun into Libra marks the descent of light into balance and measure. At the equinox, day and night weigh equal upon the scales of the sky. But the same Libra that proclaims equilibrium is also the place of the solar fall. In Leo the Sun is exalted in its…
If interested in a personal liturgy, please consult this portal. Mars entered today into Scorpio, his house of rulership. He comes in silence after crossing the exile of Libra, where his sword was forced to move according to the mirror of the Other. During that stay, Venus in Leo held him under her regal and…
