Question: Transiting Pluto is two degrees from my Moon in the 8th, and let me tell you, I am not okay. I feel like I’ve wandered into some mythic hell-forest and the wolves aren’t even pretending to wear granny’s nightgown...
The 5th house is the playground of the zodiac, the realm of Leo, where fun, performance, love affairs, and identity take shape. And then comes Pluto. Your romances? These are the Wuthering Heights type – storm-swept, soul-binding, and potentially soul-shattering. And...
Virgo is the industrious artisan of the zodiac, with hands ever busy, cross-stitching the fabric of reality itself, only to rip it up again because “it could be neater.” Mutable Earth is a paradox if ever there was one. Virgos...
The Sun in the 8th house is the light of consciousness trying to illuminate what’s been hidden. The solar principle is one of visibility, identity, the “I am.” It shines in the psyche. But place it into the 8th house...

Karen Horney believed that, while a therapist could certainly help untangle the psychic complexes, one could, with sufficient honesty, do a bit of untangling oneself. Not as swift, perhaps. Not as tidy. But real. The natal chart is a symbolic...
The 6th house, oft maligned, misunderstood, and misrepresented in astrology! While others may fantasize about far-off lands, fun entertainment, or party lifestyles, you have been conscripted into the realm of ritual, routine, and refinement – a house that, though it...
Jupiter is the great benefic, the planet with endless optimism and a passport full of stamps from far-off lands. We astrologers and astro-curious types often peg him as the jolly giant, all joy and no shadow, bounding through the heavens...
Uranus is the anarchist, the streaker dashing across the astrological heavens with its pants firmly off, shouting “Change! Liberation! Revolution!” It flings open the window of your psyche and yells “Wake up, you sleepy conformist!” into your soul. It is...
