Moon in Pisces: Astoundingly Psychic
Those blessed (or occasionally burdened) with a Pisces Moon seem to have been born with one foot in this world and the other floating in the waters of another dimension. They’re receivers, tuning into a frequency most of us can’t quite hear–subtle signals from the spiritual undercurrent. Emotionally, they’re not only deep – they’re fathomless…....
Moon in Taurus: Mother Nature

Their souls don’t hover above the ground,…...
Mars in the 12th House: Ghost of Mars
The 12th house is a vast ocean of the unconscious, a realm of unresolved debts from past lives.

Sun in Gemini – Unable to Relate Emotionally?
As a sign, Gemini is the one who seems to live in a realm just beyond the grasp of the present moment, forever flitting between thoughts, ideas, and possibilities. It’s no wonder people call them the most ‘mental’ of the airy trigon. They are thought itself, incarnate—restless, watchful, forever analyzing, forever comparing, forever searching for…...
Scorpio: Hatred
The Scorpion’s sting is lethal, unrelenting, and, in many ways, misunderstood. Scorpios have dark depths and intensity, and they simply can’t experience feelings in a casual, surface-level way. They dive headfirst into the abyss of emotion. Love isn’t an easy affection—it’s an all-consuming vortex, a spiritual possession. Hate isn’t a passing irritation—it’s a scorched-earth campaign,…...

Aspects to the Planets
The Sun is the blazing heart of our solar system and is undeniably the great centre around which all things orbit. Without it, there would be no life, no warmth, no guiding light to define the day. In astrology, too, it takes its place as the core of our being, the source of selfhood, the…...
