Betrayal is one of the most consistently devastating human experiences — and one of the most predictable, if you know what to look for in a chart. Not predictable in the sense that it can be precisely timed or prevented, but predictable in the sense that the chart shows, with considerable accuracy, who is structurally…
Mars is the planet popular astrology loves to celebrate. Angular Mars, Mars in Aries, Mars conjunct the Ascendant — these are described as markers of drive, ambition, physical vitality, and the capacity for decisive action. The people with strong Mars placements are told they are natural leaders, warriors, go-getters. What they are not typically told…
When you build a relocated chart, your planets stay exactly where they were — same signs, same degrees, same aspects. What moves is the house framework around them. And since a planet’s house is where it does its work in your life, moving the houses quietly reassigns which areas of life each planet runs. This…
Everyone is using the word narcissist now. It has become the shorthand for any difficult, self-absorbed, or hurtful partner — which means it has also become somewhat meaningless. But clinical narcissism, the actual psychological structure, is something specific. It has specific features, a specific internal architecture, and — in the chart — specific planetary configurations…
There is a difference between being careful with money and being incapable of parting with it. The first is a practical virtue.

The question of whether astrology can identify a killer is one that serious astrologers have always approached carefully — because the honest answer is more complicated than either the sensationalists or the skeptics want it to be. No placement predicts murder. The configurations that appear consistently in the charts of serial killers also appear in…
A relocated chart shows how your birth chart works in a different city — same birth moment, same planets, but with the houses and angles recalculated for a new place on the map. It’s the core tool of relocation astrology, and people pay good money for software and reports that produce one. Here’s what almost…
Everyone wants to know if wealth is in their chart. It is one of the most common questions I receive — and one of the most frequently misunderstood, because people expect a single placement that says “rich” or “not rich.” That is not how the chart works. Wealth in astrology is a signature — a…
One of the things I have noticed over twenty years of reading charts is that the advice people give each other about difficult emotions is almost always written for someone else’s Moon sign. “Just let it go.” “Stop overthinking.” “You need to talk about how you feel.” “Give yourself space, don’t ruminate.” These instructions are…
