This lecture explores ways to reconcile the modern psychological worldview with classical predictive techniques. T...

The quindecile, 165°, an aspect of the 24th Harmonic. Perhaps the most notable observation about this aspect of compulsion and obsession is that those who advocate its use are quite fanatical about its value in the natal chart, dynamics, and synastry.

Colleen says she really did not need another...

With this technique, we dig up some of our family history which we inherited in our genes prior to birth, and are influenced by in our life, as per our charts. We use plenty of examples as well.

In the last 3,000 years Pluto has been in Capricorn twelve times before now. Neptune has been there with it six of those times.

The ascendant, Sun and Moon are used to calculate the Lot of Fortune. Thus using this formula we can begin to understand how a ternary or threefold relationship is formed.

The cycle of Saturn has clear manifestations in our lives, because this energy develops the spinal cord of our growth and allows us to integrate higher levels of all the natal chart. The energy that activates Saturn through the 12 phases enables us to become totally conscious, and overcome concep...

In this talk we also look at the impact of the recent Neptune-Pluto sept...

Life unfolds differently for day and night births. The technique of firdaria is based on the nativity being diurnal or nocturnal. Each traditional planet rules a period of years, with sub-periods co-ruled by a series of rulers of shorter periods.

"Katarche" is a term from early Greek astrology, applied to a range of non-natal practices. These include what later tradition distinguishes as electional, inceptional and interrogational (horary) astrology. It may be translated as "initiative," and the astrology of the katarche responds to human...

If we are honest about it, the old cartoon, "If my natal chart were a horary, the answer would be no!" is true. This fact should not be disturbing to us as astrologers, but instead should be the demonstration for why our craft is so needed to understand life. A statement of "no" is merely the rea...
