In the next part of our Star School series, we will be going over the outer planets. This will give a basic understanding of how the planets operate in different signs. In this lesson, we’ll cover Saturn. In many astrology books, Saturn gets a bad rap. Sure, it’s the hard taskmaster of the zodiac. Wherever […]
In the next part of our Star School series, we will be going over the outer planets. This will give a basic understanding of how the planets operate in different signs. In this lesson, we’ll cover Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion. This is where you have fortune galore and loads of […]
Retrograde. It might as well be labeled as astrology’s F word. Mention it and you’ll hear the groans kick in. Even those who are not astrology-fluent seem to know about the transit fuckery that is Mercury retrograde. It’s that time of the year when Murphy’s Law seems to be in full swing. What can go […]
Last month, we covered Elements: Strength and Weakness. This month, we’re doing the same but this time we’re looking at Qualities (or Mode) and seeing where we’re dominant…or not. via GIPHY As a reminder, there are three qualities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable.

The dignities refer to the strength or weakness of a planet’s position by sign. Come again? In layman’s terms: some planets are happy in […]
In a previous lesson, we looked at the astrological houses. To recap: an astrology chart is divided into twelve sections, kinda like a pie (True story: when I was a kid, I used to buy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and cut them up like little pies, and eat ‘em one slice at a time. As […]
In today’s lesson, we’re going to cover a few of the major Aspect Patterns. There are more to get to later but this brief intro will get your astro-appetite whetted. The ones I’m focusing on are important and fairly easy to spot in a chart. Yes, there is a little math involved (quelle horreur!) but […]
As you begin to study astrology charts, you may notice that some – not all – have clearly defined patterns. You have to use your imagination here a bit to see ‘em but once you learn how, you’ll spot them quickly. Kinda like constellations! Each one of these chart patterns adds another layer to interpreting […]
