Oh fun, who doesn't love exciting? Thanks a mil, Jim. I'll dig into my notes to read up on the particulars of the angles. Still living out of boxes and scanned everything.

By way of an update... (and thank you so much Jim for all the follow ups, I know life's been something else for you lately) ... We broke our lease at the shed because it was just getting to be too much. The last straw was when the owner decided to buy an old mobile library and refurbish it as a ...

By way of an update... I landed a remote working job at the end of November, traveled to London for training the first week of December, and then immediately got sick with almost pneumonia and definitely bronchitis by the mid-January when I finally got to see a doctor and get taken care of.

We ...

Western and central Europe overall has a hard winter with deprivations, losses, and death, though conditions are kinder farther west.


Considering recent news it seems like the UK economy is going to take a huge nosedive. I am really hoping not too much of that spreads to Ireland, as things are ...

The really strong Moon aspect, though, is transiting Moon's partile mundane square to natal Sun, with them being the most closely angular transiting and natal planets, respectively. That would seem to speak well for your marriage.

Good to hear, I've been worried this move would ruin our ...

I was in Avoca, Co. Wicklow.
It looks like a fine Solar Return with all luminaries foreground and plenty of Uranus. The signals of a new life are abundant. You may be a little quicker of temper and get into a tad of trouble but, hey, you're Irish now :) [My great-great-grandmother's name as ...

As most of you know, I'm not persuaded that Mercury retrograde (in the way astrologers and pop-astrologers are prone to talk about it) has anything to it at all. (Several people were quick to point out that my recent "elevator went out and threw off our plans" event was under Mercury retrograde ...

Ethan, happy birthady!


Thank you! While we don't have housing yet, and I spent all day applying for a thousand jobs (:lol:), we are staying with great friends and we had chocolate cake and exotic martinis. Very pleasant night! :D I am still optimistic about this move, even with the challenges ...

Dear Ethan
Saturn is transiting your natal mars and aspecting you moon as well till 17.1.23 and retrograde till 25.10.22 + retrograte jupiter on your natal moon (very good). These phenomenon compelling you to relocate.
Plan relocation after 17.1.23 for betterment. 2023 and 2024 are going to be ...

Had to get a new laptop and was setting it up when I thought I should swing by with an update.

Things have gone fairly well, with some minor glitches, unexpected turns, and disappointing job and housing prospects. We'll be landing with some friends just south of Dublin for an uncertain amount of ...

By way of an update:

The work of sorting/packing is picking up. I'm noting more letting go of things and some resulting relief.

Of note, I am spending a lot of time digitizing old records that my family has carted around for years (letters, legal documents, writings, etc.). I am learning things I ...

Arilunar (Jun 22)
Effective Jun 22-30. Pluto rises (0°25'). Saturn is on EP (1°54'). Events of high impact and senses-stunning intensity change something fundamental. Someone or something dear to us is lost.


This morning, the Supreme Court overturned Roe ev. Wade. The above forecast ...

People often describe me as angry but diffusive.


I've heard that too.

In the past I was often guilty of purposefully turning on the "spike-o-meter" when I wanted to be left alone, or was really angry/frustrated by something. Most people would definitely stay away. It was just this feeling of ...

I have Mars in Capricorn (6 degrees below ASC), and I feel like my energy tries to stay in a "coil of self-control," but is not always successful

I think whirlpools are "golden mean" (or Fibonacci) structured. These pictures might make that easier to see: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=fibonacci+for+whirlpools&qpvt=fibonacci+for+whirlpools&tsc=ImageHoverTitle&form=IGRE&first=1


That makes more sense now - my brain sometimes! :lol ...

And just the other day I was thinking to myself, if only we could have astrology sound more "rational", as in less "planets", "aspects", and other jargon, and more... and I couldn't find a world.

But duh, here it is!

This is wonderfully said, it makes so much sense. And a reminder for me to try ...

Not only does the wave cycle from its high point +1 at -0°, through 0 at 90°, to its minimum -1 at 180°, back through zero at the closing square... it also hits +0.5 at 60° and -0.5 at 120°. The curve defines the major aspects.


That right there is something.

You mentioned waves, which made me ...

Teflon Don indeed. Eh well.

Uncanny. Especially with the horror of the Uvalde shooting, the fallout, and today waking up to the Liblunar post-prime-time Jan 6th Hearing session.

I had heard of American Nations! My major at the time was Anthropology and it came up with one of my then professors, but I had forgotten about it. Funny how the important things come back around to you when needed. Thank you for the recommendation

some astrologers think its discovery at this juncture shows that the world was newly ready for ideas like freedom

I love this notion, true or not, it did seem like the ideals of freedom came out of nowhere.

I have Ken's book on order and cannot wait to dig into it. I minored in US History as an ...

I will keep an eye out (and personally hoping it is Mar-a-Lago *crosses fingers*)

-Ethan

I'm not sure how much to emphasize the Mars and Neptune energies - they were your strongest at birth so you're no stranger to them.

I love some of the interesting outer planet things. Though Neptune is most of a sign away from your Moon, they are conjunct mundanely within 1°20'. Uranus opposes ...

Did the idea of a move perhaps settle in as Uranus was making the square between April '21 and February '22? That would make sense.

Hi Jim, and thank you for the welcome :)

in regards to the move timeline, I was finishing my last quarter of graduate school in the Spring of 2021, after that it ...

Hi everyone. I'm Ethan and I am new here after being directed from Bowser's site (Thanks Colleen!). I am a new student in his course, but find there is much to learn here also.

I still remember my mother's red copy of Fagan's The Solunars Handbook on the shelf but I was too young to make sense of ...
