Tu B’Shevat, which is known as the “birthday of the trees” or “new year of trees” in Jewish custom, began at sundown tonight. It’s long been my personal favorite although it’s quite a minor holiday; I’ve always chalked this up to my midheaven Moon in Taurus (Mom’s a horticulturist and master gardener) giving me a [...]

I have a dear friend with an aspect that puzzled me for a long time. This person has Mars exactly conjunct his midheaven, at 13 Leo. I scratched my head over this for a while because he didn’t seem to exhibit many of the usual traits or issues that traditionally accompany this aspect. The usual [...]

I have almost no water in my chart, but I have a Uranus-Lilith-Venus conjunction (along with Juno and Vesta, for you asteroid junkies out there) in my fourth house.

This post is part of an occasional series about the Ascendant in your horoscope.
The Mars retrograde hullaballoo is bulldozing right over my ascendant, so I’ve been paying attention to the changes as it moves around my chart lately.
I have Mars in late Leo in the 1st house, so Mars had crossed my ascendant and was [...]

Hello gentle reader,
My site has been thoroughly borked, Mercury Retrograde-style, so we’re a little thin on archives here right now. While I nuke the database and put everything back together, please subscribe to my RSS feed for updates, and check out some of my favorite sites:

A peek at my monthly book heap, now with 100% more annotation! These days I’m winding down, in alphabetical order:

I’m the sort of person who is a fan of finding significance in events- surely this is part of why I’ve become an astrologer. For me the new year’s season has always been personally exciting in an intellectual way, since I find the experience of tying up loose ends and taking stock of things satisfying.
