Derivative Houses
From your mother to your best friend in high school to the cabbie who cut you off on your way to work this morning, everyone who has or will cross your path can be found in your chart. You just have to know where to look.

Libra Lunar Eclipse: What Are You Hiding?
We imagine that Libra demands that we always make nice and give in to others, but that’s not quite it. Libra simply asks that we balance the needs of one against the needs of another.

Lunar Eclipses and Relationships
Romantic partnerships are not the only relationships in our lives (just the ones we’re most likely to be obsessed about). What will this eclipse say about the 99.999% of the relationships in our lives that don’t involve yearning looks across a crowded room or intimate physical contact?

The Map is Not the Territory
When I finally speak to someone about his or her chart, the person who shows up is always completely different (at least initially) from what I had imagined.

“What will the eclipses mean?”
While it would be handy for an astrologer to be able to tell you precisely what an eclipse, a transit, or a progression will mean for you, it would be a fool’s errand to try, because these things never mean exactly the same thing for everyone.

Signs Aren’t People
