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…
I will analyse David Beckham’s chart on the destiny, praxis and telos of the 10th house. The cusp is Capricorn, so Saturn rules it, and Saturn is cadent in the 3rd and in fall in Cancer, at the bottom of the chart. This could point to an anonymous and difficult destiny, given the zodiacal and…
When we spend years analysing astrological charts, we see repetition of patterns. One is the strength of the malefic Mars in high-performance athletes. It is worth remembering that Mars signified in antiquity physical force applied essentially to military combat. That martial force was channelled into what the planet signifies best, collision and the annihilation of…
A person contacted me to ask whether there is something in his chart that might explain why several of his relationships keep failing successively. The first step was to look at the 7th house, obviously. It signifies romantic partners, relationships, and marriage. It is Taurus, which means the signification comes from Venus. A good indicator…
António Quadros was a Portuguese philosopher and historian. António Telmo, his fraternal friend, says that Quadros felt unhappy upon being told that his horoscope was of a lunar spirit. The reason is an extremely dense stellium in the 2nd house in Cancer, with the New Moon in domicile. I checked the natal chart of António…
Fyodor Dostoevski died 145 years ago. When we look to his birth chart, we are struck right away by the brutal conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, both retrograde, in the angular 4th, and in a choleric sign like Aries that Saturn abhors. The expansion and faith of Jupiter are crushed by weight, fear, and existential…
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. In his lifetime, astrology was re-emerging after a long period of obscurantism, mainly through initiatic and Theosophical…
At first Fernando Pessoa has in his birth chart a financial configuration that is good or, at the very least, reasonable. Why? The 2nd house of movable resources, obviously money above all, is Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter. The greater benefic in Pessoa’s chart is placed right in the 1st house. It is true that Jupiter…
Nick Oliveri says in an interview that Josh Homme was always seen by the desert rock scene as “Mr. Lucky”. In astrology language, lucky comes with structural good fortune, a natal configuration that favours protection, support, grace, and a recurring capacity to land on one’s feet after falls. Let’s see if it matches. Good fortune…
