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. […]

Driven Towards the Sacred: Vesta (Part One)
It’s a funny thing about what we find sexy, as subject matter, and what we don’t. The other day I was complaining that not enough people give much weight to the Sun and the Moon anymore, particularly in transit; I was told point blank that neither of the lights is particularly sexy these days, not […]
