I’m happy to announce that the winner of the Subscriber Contest is Paula Morgan. Paula says that she’s never won anything before, so I’m glad that The Inner Wheel has opened a new window for her. For those of you who are into number, the winning number was 59, picked at random by my 9 […]

First Steps: The Solar Secret Agent
One of the things I do as a teacher, which admittedly drives some of my more advanced students crazy at first, is insist that, whatever level they’ve reached in their astrological studies, we cover the basics for the first couple of lessons. We cover (or re-discover) the power and purpose of the Sun, Moon and […]

The Cave and the Arrow: Chiron Beyond The Wound (Part Two)
We have to talk about Chiron in terms of desire, and Mars, because desire IS the wound. We desire what we feel we will never receive or achieve in Chiron’s house. It hurts because we want it so badly. Whatever it is will validate us, and if we had that thing, we would become […]
The Cave and the Arrow: Chiron Beyond the Wound
This is an article on Chiron in aspect to Mars. For general comments on Chiron, please see “Chiron, an Overview.” I’ve always thought that too much has been made of Chiron’s infamous wound, and not enough of his wisdom, his teaching, his skill, his role as guide to the muses, and his crucial role […]
Last Chance for Off the Cuff Readings
There are a very few slots still available for the Off the Cuff readings–mostly in the afternoons(Eastern time) of the 28th and 29th. Email me at alcuin9@gmail.com if you’re interested. For those who are new to the site, these popular readings are shorter, much less expensive versions of a typical natal reading. They last 45 […]
The Progressed Moon/Transiting Saturn Cycle in Synastry (Part Two)
Something interesting starts happening at the age of 28, when we have our Progressed Lunar Returns. There can begin, though it doesn’t always happen, a strange split in the psyche, where, in a man, the feeling side of his life, the anima, will be more difficult to own and will therefore be lived out through […]
The Progressed Moon/Transiting Saturn Cycle in Synastry (Part One)
One of the things that is often trickiest to get a hold of when you study progressions is the inter-relationship between the progressed chart and the natal. For example, if a progressed planet is making an aspect to another progressed planet, how do you interpret that progression in relation to the natal chart? On the […]
Driven Towards the Sacred: Vesta (Part Two)
Please read Part One of this piece HERE. Vesta’s no-gray-areas approach applies to any planet it touches, but especially when aligned with the relationship planets. Vesta has a habit of cyclical withdrawal; we will pull back in order to meditate on what it is that really matters, what it is that she wants from us. […]
