Concepts and Paradigms: Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs

Image
  When it comes to the use of zodiacs in astrology, I don't take an exclusionary or separatist approach, because from working with both #zodiacs for several years now, I have come to believe that the popular "either/or" dichotomy is a false one.  As #astrologers, I offer that we would be better served in taking a solutions-based approach with the aim of better understanding, thereby developing or evolving how we use these tools.  This is an informal talk I gave to the Association for Young Astrologers on 15 April 2018, presenting some contextual thoughts and foundational ideas around the interplay and use of the #tropical and #sidereal zodiacs.  Full video on Spica Astrology YouTube channel: Watch the video by clicking on this link https://youtu.be/eVy5qTYaumg?si=kSausflwoshtjHIo

Taurus Uranus: Profit, Performance, & Akrasia

  Uranus will be variably in tropical Taurus 2018 - 2026, supporting a global impulse of innovation in food/agri-tech, family systems, and the finance sector. However, instead of writing an article about it focused purely on astrological jargon, and in true alignment with the practical earthiness of Taurus (think a cow slowly and peacefully chewing away lounging about in a meadow), I felt it more prudent to write an article which supports us individually to enhance those bullish factors of the reality of our day to day lives: performance, sustainability, enjoyment, and endurance. Taurus represents the Venusian impulse to accumulate around us that which is worthy; the practical aspect of it speaks of the simple truth that a life in alignment with our values and sense of worthiness, is the most sustainable and most enjoyable way to live - and achieve - what we want out of life. This article will aim to provide snippets and inspirations so that we gird up our loins, pull up our socks, and

Game of Thrones Part: The Author

Image
  Game of Thrones is a fantasy drama television series that premiered on HBO in April 2011. It is an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels by author George R. R. Martin. There are three main story arcs in the series. The first centres around the dynamic alliances and conflicts for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms on the island of Westeros. The second focuses on the last descendant of the deposed Emperor of Westeros and her quest to return in glory to her homeland while gathering support and strength in the lands of the island across the sea, Essos. The third story arc revolves around the brothers of the Night’s Watch, and their ongoing mission to defend Westeros from ancient and magical enemies from the far North, bringing to the world the long dread Winter along with them. Being a fan of the series, and having read some of the books (up to the end of Book 3), it dawned on me last night that I could devote some time to feed my nerdish curiosity about everythin

2017 Summary and Year Horoscopes

Image
  Material in this blog post was originally penned in Dec 2016 as part of my notes for a year outlook of horoscope videos. As we approach the halfway point of the year, I thought it would be a good idea to post them in full for a useful mid-year "sense-check". First we look into the Aries Ingress chart for the year 2017. There is a partile Saturn-Moon conjunction at the end of Sagittarius. The Saturn-Moon conjunction direction and nadir lines go through Hong Kong, with the other directional lines going through S.America, Russia, and down through China. The placement of Mars is important in an Aries Ingress, and is in detriment and ruling a stellium in Aries. These all indicate the USA, Russia, China, South America, and most painfully the region of Hong Kong as most afflicted. Any country that has important planets at 27° mutable signs will also be powerfully impacted. Mars is closely involved with the pair of eclipses in August 2017 as well as in the Libra Ingress at the
