    At the turning point of the year, we publish this article by Louise Huber on the ‘zero point’ of the zodiac, extracted from the book AstroLog I: Life and Meaning.

    Forecasting Giants and Dodgers

    Moderator’s note: I have received this unusual post from APA member Morris Bodnar. Its subject is not the development of the individual psyche, which is the normal context of astrological psychology, and was the focus of the researches of Bruno & Louise Huber. This post seeks to apply some aspects of the Huber approach, in…

    Astrology, Relationships and Click Horoscopes

    When looking at relationships between two people, a conventional chart comparison (synastry) will seek out aspects between a planet in a sign in one person’s chart, and a planet in a sign in the other person’s. For example, the Moon in Cancer my chart might be in a 120 degrees apart trine aspect relationship with…

    The Saturn impulse towards conservative reaction and repression

    As we move into 2018-2019 we can see now the increase in anti-scientific bias on the part of the Trump administration evidenced in their recent censoring in the Center for Disease Control (CDC)of certain words like science- based, fetus, transgender, and diversity.   One can see where this is going. Science- based evolution is a theory…

    2017 and the echoes of 1933

    We live in interesting times, as the saying goes. Anyone paying attention to the on-going parade of changing world events in 2016 will be wondering “what next?” What in heaven’s name is coming up in 2017? More change? Less upheaval? More of the same but at another turn of the spiral? Here’s the chart for…

    Fish Can’t Climb Trees

    The premise of Helyn Connerr’s Mercury Model™ is that everyone’s brain is wired differently and we can discover more about ‘our unique mental make-up’, by evaluating how ‘we each experience the mythic theme of the ancient god Mercury’. Her book Fish Can’t Climb Trees is her most recent exposition of this model. Its title, taken…

  • The Tyranny of Aesthetics

    The Tyranny of Aesthetics

    I never knew, in my twenties, why I felt compelled to move from one flat to another, seldom staying anywhere longer than six months. Six months of fixity seemed to be all I could handle. I’d paint the walls, lengthen or shorten the curtains I had used in the previous flat, adding a frill or…
