Progressed Chart Preferred Over The Natal? I continue to consider the idea, progressed charts should be elevated.  I’ve been in astrology all my life and can tell you, thirty years ago, a good percentage of astrologers used the progressed chart over the Natal. I recall mentioning this here or there, but not in the last twenty years. I was getting good Source

Progressed Charts Over Astrocartography For Relocation I stupidly posted, Compelling Evidence Progressed Charts Work, without thinking it through. This post is to clarify things. I was taken by what these personality scores for my natal chart vs my progressed illustrated.  It was like hitting a rich vein of sorts. I love to study trends and patterns and variables and whatnot. I Source

Weekend Love Forecast – Mars-Pluto: Intensity In Action Friday night’s post-new Moon in Scorpio trines retro Saturn in Pisces and continues on through the sign. Imagine a top: You spin it and set it down; it revolves quickly, in precisely the same location and orientation you’ve set it. Friday night’s mood is in that groove, strong and invisibly supported. Scorpio Mercury trines Cancer Source

When Will Things Get Better Redux? Many feel anxious, with cause! I know I’m more optimistic than most astrologers. I have learned to trust the charts, as they do deliver. I could say, it will be better, post the new moon or post the election or when Saturn turns direct, but astrologically speaking, there is no basis for that. I have Source

Changes to my newsletter Hey, everyone! I just got a notice, the cost to send my newsletter  will increase 150%, mid-December. It’s way too high!  I am working to reconfigure things, to get the cost down. The new cost is based not only on the number of subscribers, but the number of emails sent, monthly. I got on the Source

Compelling Evidence Progressed Charts Work I posted about personality scores, based on your Natal chart.  This morning someone asked for the scores for their Progressed chart. Hmm. I never thought of doing this, so I sent the gal her scores and then looked at my own.  Jeez, Louise!  This is a way to see how you’ve morphed. It’s shocking! I Source

Saturn Direct In Pisces: November 15, 2024 – Time To Move! Saturn will turn direct under a full moon in Taurus on November 15th, 2024.  Most will welcome this it’s been very hard to exit the morass with Saturn (and Neptune) retrograde in Pisces. Many people imagine they are failing, but it’s a mirage. I’m hoping marking this date, will help you wrap up your work Source

Grieving (And The Pandemic Period) We don’t seem to hear about, grieving, anymore. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is the last person to have anything important to say about it…and that was more than 50 years ago. I think video games and tv programs and the like are jam-packed with death. These deaths are shocking, but the characters almost always, “move on”, immediately.  Source

Weekly Forecast: October 28 – November 1, 2024 – Scorpio New Moon Monday morning, Cancer Mars perfects a trine to retro Neptune in Pisces as Sagittarius Venus finishes its grinding square to retro Saturn in Pisces. On its face, this set promises anesthetic for the sting of disappointing barriers to success. However, Mercury in Scorpio and Scorpio-ruler Pluto in Capricorn round out the picture with a plethora

Your Personality Score: Curious & Interesting I just had a gal leave a tip and ask for her Personality Scores. I filled her order, and then decided to peek at mine, as it’s been awhile. There are 25 different scores. 100 is average. This is my highest value: 25. Sense of duty and obligation. Conscience and guilt:       226 I thought this was interesting in light of the recent psychopath …

2024 Astro Holiday Guide It’s here! Satori and I both know how stressful things are for everyone. We also realize this stress will not let up in the near term. We put our heart and soul into this year’s guide. We also know inflation is an enormous problem, so we priced our guide low. On top of that, anyone who Source

New Moon in Scorpio: Power, Deep Contemplation & Pregnancy The new moon in Scorpio will take place early in the morning on Friday, November first at 9 degrees.  You can see the chart here. The sun and moon will trine Saturn in Pisces. This reads as a deep calm, pond, in my mind. Perfect for contemplation. Mercury in Scorpio’s involvement in a Grand Trine Source

Weekend Love Forecast – Sensual Plans Begin To Take Shape How long have we been waiting for an opportunity to grab the goodies? Long. Part of that is because when the time was right to act, the goodies disappeared — OR we were blocked. As Cancer Mars swings from a trine to retro Pisces Saturn into trine with retro Pisces Neptune, stay loose and count Source

Is Psychopathy Inherited? Ask Someone Who’d Know! Writing about how Psychopaths Can Hide In Plain Sight spurred a debate in the comments.  Some feel psychopathy is genetic. Others think otherwise. I think psychopathy is genetic. It runs in families.  I know this because it runs in mine.  It also runs in every other family with a psychopathic gene, I have ever known. Source

Interesting, Provocative, Outsider View On Marriage My husband and I were talking to a gal we met, recently.  She a Virgo with a Gemini moon and Mars in Sagittarius squaring her Mercury, also in Virgo. She’s exactly as you’d expect. Smart, open and opinionated.  She’s in her early 70’s. She was telling us about her neighbors who were selling their big Source

How Psychopaths Are Able To Hide In Plain Sight “…Some people can apparently see the energetic field surrounding and powering a human (aura, chakras). I can’t and although I wish I could, I have my doubts that it it could ever become a “learned” skill. I’ve often wondered if they can “see” who is a psychopath/sociopath based on their energetic signature…” Juli on Psychopaths Source

The Collective Psyche, Ahead Of The Election I’m continuing to run though various backups of my writing, running back to 1999. That’s when I started writing.  I’m well aware, life has degraded since then, but I’ve still been struck by how funny and open and “light” all the writing is, including writing of others, who were interacting with me at the time.

Use The Power Of The Mars Pluto Opposition To Initiate Healing Mars and Pluto will oppose each other for the rest of the year.  This energy is inordinately powerful, for good or ill. I was stunned when I saw the chart of the new moon in Scorpio on November 1st.  Like, what kind of fresh hell is this? Scorpio is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto. On Source

Weekend Love Forecast – More Honey With A Cunning Plan With Mercury in Scorpio and Venus now in early Sagittarius, we head toward spooky season in big-eyed delight. That is to say: Our eyes may be bigger than our stomach. The collective wants MORE, wants it ALL, and we all have our own little ways of figuring out how to set that in motion. Past Source

Which Mars Sign Triggers You To Beware? Everyone has Mars in their chart. Everyone is a danger in their own way. Everyone is effective in their own way, etc. I wonder if there is one Mars sign, that gets your attention. I wonder this, because there is one Mars sign that gets mine!  I’m talking about just the sign placement, without consideration Source
