For those who do not know, horary astrology is the ancient art
of answering specific questions through astrology. And what makes
horary a challenge to the scientific paradigm is not just that it
attempts to answer specific questions, but how it tries to do
this. After all, conventional natal astrology also sometimes
tries to answer specific questions, such as if a person will
marry, or what their talents are.
The astrology that you don’t know: Let’s explore
that premise. The first case that comes to mind involved a client whose
mother was experiencing Neptune’s direct transit over her Aquarian sun. I
explained at length that this influence typically involved fraud, and
warned her not to let her mother fall into the hands of an unscrupulous
financial broker, one who might be playing fast and loose with other
peoples’ money during this era of deregulation. My client turned a whiter
shade of pale.
In the world of astrology — and, of course, in the world at large — the
mystery of relationship is a constant and passionate pursuit. No matter how we
research it, the reasons that one person is deeply attracted to another may
still elude us. However, because astrologers are preoccupied with time and
timing, sooner or later we contemplate the question: “What would we call the
birthday of a relationship, and how would we find it?”
My name is Jessica Adams. I am a Sun Sign horoscope columnist and I work in
a branch of astrology which is the elephant in the room. Everyone in our
profession knows it’s there. Everyone knows it’s noisy and enormous. Yet
after nearly 90 years of its popular existence, nobody in our profession
seems to know what to do with it. Sun Sign work continues to be treated like
Babar banging around in the bathroom. And nobody wants to look.
As I write this, Uranus and Pluto are in their respective corners, catching
their breath between the fourth and fifth rounds in their duel of seven exact
squares. They are big stars on the world's stage, and we have been riveted by
their performance, even though we know there will be no ultimate winner - they
seem more intent on which one can change our collective lives the most.
The two ‘big’ events that marked the ‘swinging sixties’ were the Uranus-Pluto conjunction of 1965-6 (within one degree alignment), which happens once per century or so, and the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of 1969, which happens every thirteen to fourteen years. These frame our story, with the latter aspect marking the Apollo moon landing as well as the Woodstock music festival.
The Cinemascope is meant to give an overview of current movies and their main themes from an astrosemiotical perspective (i.e.: regarding film as semiotic system and translating it into the astrological semiotic system). A well made movie not only has a story and a certain theme, it also provides a special atmosphere, a certain feeling and it draws us into its very own world.
More than one hundred years after Einstein published his famous theory of
special relativity, it remains as the pinnacle of science, the Everest of
intellect. Even Einstein’s self-professed biggest blunder, the “cosmological
constant” — thought to have been disproved by Edwin Hubble’s discovery of an
expanding universe — has been re-examined in the context of “dark matter.”
Yet, as undeniably as our world has been forever altered by E = mc2, it
remains an incomplete puzzle.
I always wondered what comets mean to astrologers. In my twenty
years of astrology study, this question had haunted me. However, when it was
reported in early 2013 that there would be the chance to observe two
comets that year and one would be very bright, that question came up
again – how do astrologers regard comets?
In modern astrology we have horoscopes for countries,
and I have seen well-documented articles showing us the relationship between
those horoscopes and natural disasters. Another way of looking at natural
disasters is to take eclipse horoscopes for a certain location and look which
planets are placed on the major axes (AS-DS and MC-IC) according to the system
of astro-cartography. It is possible to combine these two approaches, as I
shall show in my first example.
This is an excerpt from Donna Cunningham's
new astrology/self help/reference work: "The Stellium Handbook:
An Owner's Manual for People with Stelliums or Triple
Conjunctions". The tools and techniques featured in this ebook are
written in simple language and designed to help people analyse the pieces
of a stellium, step by step, in order to make the most of the gifts it
promises and to avoid self-defeating patterns that can get in the
way.
Taking one placement in a horoscope and exploring it in depth can be a
rewarding endeavour, particularly if that placement involves Scorpio.
Scorpio is heavily maligned and misunderstood because it is a sign that
provokes many unconscious projections from others who refuse (or are unable)
to deal with the issues and 'buttons' it often unwittingly pushes in them.
The frequently cited quest for peace and harmony definitely is a main Libra-feature, as it can be easily recognized in Libra’s characteristic elegance und sophisticated style, furthermore in its distinctive sense of both aesthetics and justice, and certainly in its considerate civility, which helps to improve human relations and make them more agreeable.
There are wonderful questions to tax the mind of enthusiastic astrology
students here. How to get one’s head around the seemingly outgoing Sun-Jupiter
conjunction in Leo falling in the distinctly not outgoing 12th house? Of
course, when one knows the story all becomes clear. Christopher Milne is
better known as Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh.
In a world undergoing such fundamental and rapid transformation on all fronts, what role can be played by the newly thriving yet still marginalized practice of astrology – at once the gold standard of superstition in our culture, yet for the initiated, capable of uniquely illuminating virtually every realm of human experience? How can we hold this paradox? And what might be the historical role of the astrological community itself, carrying principles and perspectives so contrary to the mainstream culture’s assumptions about the nature of the cosmos?Astrological Basics
