Stephen Arroyo says: Everyone knows that in a classic romantic situation, there is usually an attempt to create a special mood or spell. Its an ideal (Neptune) that people carefully try to create; and if successfully create that atmosphere, then you find yourself in a magical place, your own little world, in which your tension…...

Saturn in the 5th House: The Gift of Fear
When you have Saturn in the 5th house, fun is a serious business. You fear rejection, criticism, or being ignored. It is the classic Saturnian complex. This isn’t a placement for frivolous bursts of creativity; it’s the mark of someone who, when they do express themselves, does so with weight, depth, and lasting impact. If…...
The Dangers of Neptune’s Passive Spell
In astrology, Neptune is the nebulous deity of dreams, delusions, and the softly dissolving edges of our so-called rational world. We drift toward this planet like we do unrequited love, knowing full well we may be consumed by the very thing that beckons us. Love, much like Neptune’s realm, goes against cold logic. It makes…...
Planets in the 4th House Synastry
Question: If someone’s planets are overlayed in my 4th house (the Moon & Cancer), wouldn’t they trigger emotions in me that would make me feel and act like a Cancer towards them? That’s sort of how I feel. Someone else’s planets—especially in the emotive 4th house is kind of inviting them right into your inner…...
Neptune in the 1st House Feels Like a Curse
Question: Neptune on the Ascendant feels like a curse. People always see what they want to see in me and it seems to be never good. I don’t know who I am and I feel like I never will. I couldn’t tell you my personality it would make more sense for me to ask you…....
The Sun Square North Node
Question: I’m unable to find much information about the North Node aspecting the Sun. A family member has the North Node square the Sun, and it’s their sole Sun aspect with the only sign touching the North Node. Can you provide any insights or guidance? When planets aspect the lunar Nodes, the eerie, invisible thresholds…...
Leo
In Leo, it may be said, man leaps upon the stage of action. What before the unconscious becomes conscious. It is this inclusion of divine fire, of life, which constitutes the “I-ness” of the individual, which enables him to act as from his own center, which center, while his for a time, is, it must…...
Mercury Trine Uranus: Explaining the Universe
Those with Mercury trine Uranus in their chart, often receive universal intelligence. They’re not clever in the conventional sort of way. They’re the kind of minds that think beyond — not out of the box, but into other dimensions entirely. They’re fascinated by the future because in many ways, they are from the future. Sent here…...
Mercury-Mars: Super Fast Motor Skills
The Mercury-Mars aspect, whether it’s conjunct (joined at the hip), square (a tension-packed tug-of-war), or opposite (face-to-face like a standoff), the energy is kinetic, urgent, and utterly unignorable. You think on your feet — you are quick to analyze, even quicker to retort, and dare I say, often win in debate. But behind the whip-smart…...
The North Node in Scorpio
The North Node in Scorpio and the South Node in Taurus. This nodal axis is less “find your path” and more “dig your own grave, leap into it willingly, and be reborn as a phoenix with eyeliner and a taste for what’s real.” You see, Taurus—dependable Taurus—wants peace. It is the domain of pleasures, earthy…...
Sun-Saturn: A Bigger Mountain to Climb
This is the signature of a soul who endures, shaping their existence with the steady, calloused hands of discipline and determination. Saturn doesn’t deal in shortcuts or lucky breaks. Saturn says, “You want success? Earn it. And so, these individuals toil, often under the weight of self-imposed expectations. The lessons creep in slowly, like the…...
Venus-Neptune Aspects: The Veil
A Venus-Neptune aspect symbolizes an illusion of love, the mist that turns ordinary mortals into demi-gods before our very eyes. This is love promising transcendence, spiritual union, and a touch of cinematic tragedy. It’s the soul aching for a love that is more than just two people—it wants a deeper connection, something vast, numinous, dripping with…...
