A CHANGE IN DISPOSITION Mars and Saturn are regarded as malefics in Astrology. In the classic tradition, these were the planets that brought harm and misfortune. Mars was associated with cruelty and malice while Saturn was connected to bad luck and failure. However these planets didn't always bring bad things any more than [...]
YOUR YEAR AHEAD: 2024 Perhaps the most telling feature of 2024 will be the prolonged stations of Neptune and Pluto at the 29th degree of their perspective signs Pisces and Capricorn. Neptune will be at 29 degrees Pisces from May 4th to September 3d while Pluto will be at 29 degrees Capricorn from [...]
JUPITER OUT OF RETROGRADE Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and higher purpose, comes out of retrograde on December 30th and this, as you might imagine, is a good thing. Many people think of Jupiter as the Santa Clause planet in Astrology and they're right; Jupiter brings boons and blessings like Santa delivers [...]
