Studying the chart of Blanche d’Antigny, a prominent figure of her time in the 1800s, and delving into her accompanying biography, I couldn’t help but marvel at the extraordinary adventures, numerous lovers, and a touch of fame and fortune that filled her life. It’s the kind of life that seems tailor-made for the silver screen,…...
The conventional interpretation of the Grand Trine in astrology has long been associated with notions of good fortune and unique gifts bestowed upon individuals fortunate enough to possess this celestial configuration in their birth charts. This astrological pattern manifests when three planets form harmonious 120-degree trines with each other. While the traditional view holds that…...
Question: With Neptune, the distinction between the dream world and deception is blurred. It starts out as a fantasy, bolstered by an idealised version of what “could” happen in the future. Neptune shines a stunning, yet psychic and strong light on things that require transformation and healing; yet, we are in no way “victims” of…...
You have the opportunity to play astro-sleuth in this case and deliver a verdict. The following is an example of a guy who, although still a teenager, was found guilty of starting a hotel fire. Later on in the case when he was released it was alleged that he had been wrongfully convicted. Despite these…...
A person with Venus in Virgo is often extremely romantic, and yearns for perfection in the one he/she loves. These people may put their beloveds on a pedestal and worship them. An image for Venus in Virgo is of a goddess dressed in flowing white robes. With Venus in Virgo, you may either aspire to…...
In a previous piece, I discussed the Pluto-Moon transit, and I mentioned that Johnny Depp had transiting Pluto conjunct his Moon during his relationship with Amber Heard. I’m not sure who’s on the right side of the Johhny and Amber dispute; it’s possible that they’re both as bad as each other. The transit of Pluto…...
Question: I frequently see people downplaying the ascendant and its relevance in a chart. It’s sometimes referred to as a mask, a superficial layer that someone throws on when you first meet them. I’ve even seen some claim that this aspect of the chart is false and that you are a blatant knockoff of the…...
If you are interested in karmic astrology, the aspects of Uranus in synastry are thought to represent a repetition of an old pattern characterised by sporadic and unpredictable interactions, or it represents compensation for a lack of freedom in the past, with the ability to go one’s own way now necessary for successful relationships. With…...
As a beginner to astrology, it’s easy to fall into the trap of making assumptions about certain planetary positions in synastry charts. Saturn, known for its association with challenges, limitations, and responsibilities, has gained a reputation for causing difficulties in partnerships. While Saturn’s influence in synastry can present obstacles and require effort, it is by…...
Libra is all about balance; and the Venus in Libra person may have to struggle to find the right balance between a desire to be too accommodating to others and a conscious effort to counteract this by being over-assertive. This can make these people surprisingly awkward and self-conscious at times. Generally polite and charming but…...
You have passionate, profound and controlled emotional responses, and a deep need for love, which must be satisfied according to very high standards. The directness and obvious sincerity of your reactions to social contacts earn respect, while your willingness to ‘give all for love’ frequently brings you love without requiring your all in return. Sex…...
Students of astrology overemphasise the sign position of one of the outer planets, not realising that, due to the slow movement of the outer planets, everyone born for a number of years has the same configuration as they do. As a result, save in the cases when it coincides with personal planets or the Ascendant,…...
