In this extract from Erin Sullivan’s reissued book Where in the World? the rectification tool of Astro*Carto*Graphy is applied to the disputed chart of Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. Is Libra or Sagittarius the rising sign? The author reaches a surprising conclusion. This essay is part of a seminar given in 1997 shortly after the princess’ death and includes audience interaction.
Beyond Mars and before Jupiter we find the 1000’s of asteroids that circulate between them. Yet the largest of them all and the 1st to be discovered in 1901 was Ceres. In 2006, Ceres was reclassified as a dwarf planet in the same group as Pluto, Eris and others and is now very much considered part of our planetary pantheon. So, too, we include her here for our next inspiration for Cosmic Cooking.
Forty-six years ago, Chiron was discovered by Astronomer Charles Kowal on November 1, 1977. Kowal timed the discovery to “A few minutes before 10 am." The chart was rectified by astrologers Zane Stein and Al H. Morrison to 9:56 am in Pasadena, California. Chiron is in mid-Aries at the 2023 December Solstice, about 7° from the True North Node, a conjunction that perfects on Feb 19, 2024.
Some films entertain. Others change the world. Even people who look down on Star Wars as childish or ridden with clichés must still recognize that it struck a chord as few films ever had before. Now, almost half a century after the premiere of the first film in the series, retroactively titled A New Hope, its characters remain cultural archetypes, and the vocabulary it created has entered the collective dictionary.
In the same way that cinema can be merely either for pleasure or education, do we listen to astrology for mere entertainment, draining our emotions or perhaps to better understand the deeper pathways of possibility beyond that of our conscious sensory awareness? The intention of our astrology is a personal choice, but there exists a deeper, more evolutionary transition beyond that of the ego.
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.
Astrologer Erin Sullivan passed away in December 2023 after a long illness. She worked as a consultant astrologer from 1972 and taught in Canada, the USA and the UK. She lived in London for a time and was also a lecturer at Liz Greene's Centre for Psychological Astrology. Read more...
The Natal Chart is the tool we use to work "with ourselves," to "understand ourselves better," to feel more "inner" fulfillment through the recognition of lights and shadows, and potentials. This is absolutely necessary. However, it is no longer sufficient. Inner work is fundamental to the development of healthy bonds with others, with the environment, and with life. The personal process must be integrated into the global process, which is collective.
