Yes, our old plague, Mercury in apparent retrograde motion, once again. If we weren’t on the surface of earth, I suppose we wouldn’t see the illusion. But then again, there would surely be another planet apparently retreating from its usual path to be the blame-catcher for minor irritations and major would-be calamities, whatever world we …
Ruled by Venus, the time of someone’s life from age 15 to 24 may be thought of as the years in which the person, or Chart Native, usually experiences love for the first time. Certainly appropriate for a Venus rulership, yes? Of course many other things occur during this time frame, for instance, good friendships …
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” And so a new …
Madame Zombra: We apparently have a bit of a controversy here. Administration has been contacted, but has taken a – must I say it? – bit of an ‘ostrich with its head in the sand’ approach, and frankly, not done much to solve the dilemma. A.R.Tist: Whoa! Like, man, let’s not get into bad vibes. …

But humans have always seemed to want time to be neatly sliced into segments, whether in hours, days or in this case, the years of someone’s life. …
… one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made …
Several readers have asked for more clarification on some points in previous columns. So let’s put ourselves into a temporary retrograde mode (a little astrology humor) and get a bit more background before we discuss what the Seventh through the Twelfth Houses represent in general. To begin: Every Natal Chart has twelve houses, or twelve …
Hello, favorite readers: Some very interesting questions from readers and an oversight on my part in the astrology basics which I’ve been sketching for the past weeks have led me to a change. That change is to move my regular column to Wednesdays, the day of the week ruled by Mercury, the planet of communications, …
