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…
My mother rang me very early in the morning. I could not answer straight away, but I was almost certain it had to do with a financial matter she was expecting me to sort out. I decided to cast a horary chart simply to make sure the conversation would go as smoothly as possible. The…
I must confess that this horary was more to test just how exact this hermetic art can be than to find out where the object in question actually was. Because I knew where it was. Yesterday, while showering, I lost my earring, an Ankh, and saw it fall down the bath drain. On returning to…
The querent contacted me to ask whether she has a future as an astrologer by profession. I cast the chart and, with Leo rising, she is signified by the Sun, exalted in Aries, in the 9th house, the house of astrology and higher knowledge. The Sun also has its joy in the 9th, which gives…
I never knew my father. In my natal chart, the 4th house is ruled by an extremely strong Saturn, dignified in Capricorn, the planet in the best zodiacal condition in the whole chart. At first glance, this could suggest a father who was certainly melancholic, Saturnine, distant and cold, but still capable of providing structure.…
A querent asked whether anything in her natal chart could account for the fact that her current year has been marked by repeated financial losses, like sudden traffic fines, sometimes arising from unexpected excessive enforcement by the authorities. Or devices that break apart one after the other. One of the most effective techniques in traditional…
In the chart of Charlie Sheen, Jupiter in Gemini stands out, positioned in the 2nd house by Alcabitius and in the 1st by Whole Signs. This shows that the great benefic, even in detriment in Gemini, operates as a protector of the native’s life, directly connecting the 1st house (life, talent, health, presence, temperament) to…
In Marlon Brando’s chart, Jupiter in the 1st house in domicile immediately stands out. A divine blessing, as we have the great benefic, the significator of good fortune, opportunity, divine grace, and material wealth placed in the most important house of the zodiac, the 1st, and in Sagittarius, its own sign. This makes the native…
There is a revealing quote by Robert Smith when read alongside his natal chart: “the fact that I was gonna be thirty”. The anguish before Disintegration intensified when he was confronted with the idea that all the great masterpieces of rock had been produced before the age of 30. He then began composing in isolation,…
I set out to analyse a possible romantic connection between someone I know. He is not a friend, only an acquaintance, but I have noticed that he is interested in a woman I also know. I assign him the 7th house, as he is the Other from my standpoint as querent. The cusp of the…
