Be True to Yourself - Holistic Astrological Consultation
In astrology, Mars represents how we need to pursue what we want in order to be effective. Ideally, your Mars needs to be spending most of its time in a state of focused action (the Hunter mode) to bring you closer to your goals. In reality, it’s likely that you also experience Mars as frustration and anger in your daily life. In this article we’ll explore the angry side of Mars in your horoscope and how it may uniquely express itself in your life.
Opposing signs in astrology represent contrasting approaches toward a common goal. The pair of Cancer and Capricorn share a theme of (self) parenting. Just like their rulers Moon and Saturn, each of them approaches the matter from a completely different standpoint.
The concept of self-parenting is most often seen in “inner child” therapy literature. Put simply, it means we take over the role of parenting our inner child (the child-like part of our emotions) when we become adults – so Moon and Saturn not only represent our parents, but also how we parent ourselves as adults later on.
Water element represents our capacity to feel. Following the discussions on Fire, Earth and Air elements, I’ll share some tips and observations for working with the water element in your natal chart. As before, note which houses in your horoscope have their cusps occupied by the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.) If you have planets in water signs, pay attention to the houses they occupy as well.
1) Seek Inner Values: The water part of us is not motivated by outer rewards such as fame or material success. Rather it’s moved by deeply personal values that fulfill your soul. Without paying attention to your internal desires and motivations, you may end up with a lot of outer success but still feel empty inside.
Following the discussions on Fire and Earth elements, I’ll share some tips and observations for working with the air element in your horoscope.
Note which house cusps in your horoscope are occupied by the air signs: Libra, Aquarius and Gemini. If you have planets in one of these signs, look at the houses they occupy as well.
Following the discussion on the Fire element in astrology, I’ll share a few tips & observations for working with the earth element in your horoscope.
In your horoscope, take a mental note of houses whose cusps are on the earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. If you have natal planets in the earth signs, then also note the houses they occupy. [Read more...]
In order for us to be fulfilled, all 4 elements (fire, earth, air & water) within our natal chart need to be functioning in a positive way. In this post I’ll share a few tips and observations for managing the fire energy in your horoscope.
Everyone has Aries, Leo and Sagittarius (the Fire signs) within their horoscope. Make a mental note of the house cusps that these signs occupy in your horoscope. If you have any planet in a Fire sign, then pay attention to the house it occupies as well. [Read more...]
A reader asked me to write about Saturn – Neptune aspect. Let’s begin by reviewing the keywords for both planets.
Saturn: Practicality, goals, ambition, real world accomplishment, maturity, necessary control, discipline.
Neptune: Dreams, vision, inspiration, transcendent experience, creativity, surrender, spirituality.
Peregrine – Original Definition and Adaptation By Noel TylIn traditional astrology, the term “peregrine” was defined as a planet that has no essential dignity (by rulership/detriment, face, term, triplicity) and is not in mutual reception with another planet. A peregrine (meaning “foreign”) planet was considered weak and wandering, much like someone visiting a foreign land without knowing anyone locally.
In the last 20 years, Noel Tyl began to use the word “peregrine” to describe a planet that forms no Ptolemaic aspect (i.e. conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition) with any other planet. Rather than considering the planet weak, however, Tyl asserts that these unaspected planets can actually become the dominant feature within one’s personality (in his words, a peregrine planet can run away with the horoscope.)

I’m currently in Japan, serving as the interpreter for Noel Tyl during his public seminars and private consultations. It’s a privilege and a great learning experience to witness the master astrologer at work so closely – I’ll be interpreting 24 private consultations and 3 days of public seminar.
I’ll be back in US after September 25th, and will resume consultations on the 28th – I won’t have access to voicemail but will be checking emails at least every few days. Thank you for your patience!
For the benefit of those new to astrology, I’ll share how to print out your horoscope (also called natal chart) online for free. For more advanced students, I’ll also cover how to print out your natal midpoints online.
