  • What Is an Astrology Consultation?

    An astrology consultation is a personal reading in which an astrologer analyzes your birth chart — the exact position of the planets at the moment you were born — to explain your personality, relationships, career direction, finances, or the timing of major life events. It’s not one single thing, either. Depending on what you’re trying…

  • Astrology and Prison: What Charts Show About Legal Trouble

    The chart does not make anyone a criminal. What it shows is the specific constellation of configurations that produce a life with elevated exposure to legal systems — to courts, confinement, persecution, and the loss of personal freedom. These are not the same thing, and the distinction matters. Some of the people whose charts carry…

  • The Astrology of Enemies: Who Makes Them and Why

    Some people move through life accumulating allies. Others accumulate something else — the specific kind of opposition that follows them from one context to the next, that is not explained by bad luck or isolated conflict, but by something structural in how they engage with the world. The chart has two houses for this. The…

  • Astrology and Accidents: Why Some People Are Accident-Prone

    Every astrologer who has worked long enough has seen this pattern: the chart that carries the accident configurations, the reading where you note them carefully, and then — sometimes months later, sometimes years — the message from the client confirming what the chart showed. I do not enjoy this part of the work. But I…

  • The Astrology of Divorce: What the Chart Shows Before You Marry

    Most people consult an astrologer after the marriage has ended — sometimes years after, when the pattern has repeated enough times to become undeniable. What they rarely think to do is look at the chart before the wedding, when the information is still useful. The chart does not predict divorce with certainty. What it shows…

  • Your “Powerful” Pluto Placement Might Be Destroying Your Life

    Pluto is the planet everyone in modern astrology wants. Strong Pluto, angular Pluto, Pluto conjunct the Ascendant — these are described as markers of intensity, depth, transformative power, and the capacity for profound impact on the world. The astrology content around Pluto is almost uniformly glamorous. What that content consistently omits is the other half…

  • The Astrology of Betrayal: Who Betrays and Who Gets Betrayed

    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…

  • Strong Mars in Your Chart? Here’s the Shadow Side

    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…

  • Relocation Chart Houses: What Changes When You Move

    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…
