Munakara is a word used to describe a condition arrived at through a particular sequence of planetary rulerships. Munakara is a two-step process based on the planetary sect principle that each of the seven original planets can be divided into either the diurnal or the nocturnal sect. This is determined by whether a planet’s qualities (hot, cold, wet and dry) are compatible with, or modified by, their belonging to one of the two sect divisions.
No matter how far back we explore the realms of myth and religion, we invariably meet the Sun, a timeless and ubiquitous symbol that holds profound meaning across cultures and civilizations. The earliest forms of religious worship across cultures and continents are intrinsically linked to the Sun. It’s no surprise, as It is hard to ignore the physical presence of the Sun, as it dominates the heavens.
In 1999, Time ranked Pokémon mascot Pikachu #2 on its annual Best People of the Year list. Yellow and mouse-like with red, supercharged cheeks, according to Pokémon lore, “When several [Pikachus] gather, their electricity could … cause lightning storms.” Pokémon indeed struck like lightning, taking the world by storm as the highest-grossing media franchise of all time.

In the realm of astrology, the winds of change have been blowing since astrologer Bernard Eccles penned his dissertation in 2004. In this, he mused about the fate of astrology, illuminating the decline of its allure, even as New Age and spiritual trends flourished. Bernard’s work dissected the reasons behind this fall from grace, offered potential lifelines, and envisioned a symbiotic future with ecological and neo-pagan movements.
There are a few basic inquiries that comprise an astrologer’s bread and butter. One of the top three questions must be “Is this a good relationship?” Honestly, my eyebrows furrow when I hear this question. Don’t get me wrong. I am always inquisitive to find the answer and excited to evaluate the charts. The furrow forms because the client usually has an agenda and wants a “Yes.” Unfortunately, the answer may not be what the client wants to hear.
The marriage of creative media and communication technology was the great gift of the late 20th century. But what astrologically led to this integrative lifestyle, and how did it become ubiquitous with modern living? In this article, I shall explore how the Uranus–Neptune conjunction of the early 1990s occurred under very special circumstances, how it influenced the media we consume today, and how it was tested under extreme conditions in 2020.
In Australia as in many countries around the world, our native wildlife is being threatened. This is due to the natural habitat slowly being eradicated due to new housing developments, roads, pipelines, mining and other hallmarks of industrial developments. The majority of Australian’s couldn’t care less as to what is happening to the wild life as long as it does not impinge on their life style and happiness. But here is the story of one person who does.
If the boomers and the Generation X, the Pluto in Leo, Virgo and Libra, are the Facebook generations and the Pluto in Scorpio, often associated with the millennials, is the Instagram generation, then Pluto in Sagittarius, Generation Z, must be the Tik Tok generation. Social media habits change with each generation, and it certainly doesn’t take long before anyone is a dinosaur at the speed of which things are moving for the time being.
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Mercury went retrograde on 13th December 2023, not resuming direct motion again until 2nd January 2024. I was entertained by my colleague Victor Olliver’s brief posting on Facebook today, and his opening salvo, ie ‘…Such is my contempt for the Mercury retrograde nonsense…’
A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. So when I was asked to distill some of my ideas for a magazine issue devoted to the Leo/Aquarius axis, I immediately thought back to one image in particular that, to my mind, best captured the essence of this zodiacal dynamic: Two or three children on a playground, laughing and singing in blissful abandon, while circled around them are a dozen scientists in white lab coats, carefully observing and recording every move for a research study on the nature of play.
It all started on Facebook, as a way of drawing attention to his services as an astrologer. Jean-Marc Pierson had studied astrology and was trying to make a living from it, so he started writing posts on Facebook. People told him he should write a book. So, he started a blog, never imagining that he would actually really write a book. Well, ultimately, he did end up doing exactly that!
