General
These articles present information useful and applicable to planets in general. Specific articles on individual planets have been gathered into their own collections below these general ones.
Offers an insightful and nuanced look at the role of retrograde planets in astrology. Rather than simply viewing retrograde motion as a period of disruptions and delays, I emphasize how retrogrades can offer powerful opportunities for reflection, growth, and second chances, providing chances to revisit past situations, refine goals, and correct past mistakes. Retrograde cycles, while often seen as frustrating, can be catalysts for deeper understanding and personal evolution.
Offers a bold and transformative approach to astrology, inviting readers to explore the cutting-edge discoveries that are reshaping our understanding of the cosmos. By introducing new celestial bodies like Sedna and examining their role as "mediators" between distinct regions of the solar system we unlock fresh insights into how planetary energies influence our lives. The concept of categorizing planets into different zones—inner, middle, outer, and deep worlds—offers a revolutionary framework that redefines traditional astrology. This innovative perspective not only expands the astrological narrative but also empowers readers to embrace a more expansive and dynamic view of the universe, one that integrates both ancient wisdom and modern cosmic revelations. If you're looking to deepen your astrological practice and venture beyond the known, this article is your invitation to explore a thrilling new frontier.
Explores the concept of cyclical time in astrology, focusing on the work of Dane Rudhyar and its impact on understanding the evolution of individual lives. I emphasize that a natal chart is not static but an active, dynamic representation of ongoing cycles that continuously shape a person's development and discuss how this applies to The 26 Keys. The journey also highlights the cyclical activations of planets like Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus and their role in marking significant life stages, framing astrology as a tool for understanding growth and transformation within the context of time's unfolding cycles.
