Once one gets beyond the basics of Sun Sign astrology, you will learn that a person’s birth chart – like people themselves – are a lot more complex. You could spend your entire life studying the many complex interactions between the planets, the Signs they are in, and the aspects they form to each other.…

Ask any medical student: at some point or another they usually end up believing they have some strange rare disease or something that they’ve read about. “I thought it was just a hangover, but maybe it’s Chagas Disease!” It’s virtually a universal human trait: you can only spend so long looking at the possible disasters…

ALL RIGHT PEOPLE… SETTLE DOWN. Sometimes it’s an astrologer’s job to describe to a person the potential they were born with. Sometimes it’s an astrologer’s job to outline the challenges lie ahead.

Everything happens for a reason – but sometimes we can tip the balance of the Universe in our favor. Have you ever had something important planned that fell apart because of some annoying little complication, like you missed the bus, or messed up the address, or something like that? Or have you ever had a…

This week’s zodiacal activity is all about getting along with others and the correct application of force.
