From self help to divination and back
From a casual observation I noticed that the astrological services that are offered online are predominantly, whether it’s Vedic or western, in the field of astrology that can be characterized as “self help” – the kind that deals only with issues relating to personal development, empowerment, self-reflection and accessing subconscious knowledge, resolving emotional issues in… Read more
Intuition vs. analysis
There’s something to be said about the process of divination itself. Divination can be done also using astrology, as well as other different means, but here my latest experience is with tarot specifically. In astrology the main focus has been for me throughout the years to analyze the past events, personal and collective, as well… Read more
Ram or Goat?
Going back to the tarot theme, there’s an issue that has been bothering me a little lately and this is the inclusion of astrology bits in the tarot cards. Some decks lack it completely, while others adding astrological symbolism, to a varying degree of elaboration. On the face of it, it’s a welcome feature that… Read more
Testing the Mars retrograde II

Full moon corona
Just as everybody was talking about how exciting the full moon in Aquarius should be, given its exact square to Uranus (in Taurus), I got corona for the first time ever. It manifested exactly on this full moon. I never had it during all the crazy years when everybody was so afraid of it and… Read more
New Moon blues
Just as the Moon readies to come with the Sun in a conjunction and create the New Moon in Leo, it forms an opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, and stirs up all kinds of emotions and memories, not quite typical of Leo the playful child (among other things). Regardless, what role does the moon play… Read more
Hello world!
This is supposed to be the first post on this blog, even though I’m writing it a week after I started it already with a post, therefor I’m using the first Tarot card, The Fool, as a theme pic for this post. It’s exciting to start something new in general, especially if it’s online, and… Read more
