Illusion’s Half-Life: Achlys, Orcus, and the Moment of Exposure

We are beginning to work with Achlysian energies as they are slowly revealed. We don’t have the specific psychological mechanisms yet, but we can posit the probable drivers of them. If Achylys is the necessity to create, foster, and maintain an illusion, then we can understand constellated points as both...

The Kniefall von Warschau and Other Hadean Musings

Yesterday’s discussion of the Hadean squares has me thinking about that unfortunate few whose biographies are critically affected by the extremes of these outer-planet transits.

Your Midheaven and your Métier

When we discuss vocation, we often struggle to find the terminology to nail down what it is we are trying to isolate and understand. As we will see, in the astrology it covers a range of domains and qualities, and most often we settle on vocation. In my view though,...

The completion of Ixion means that as students of the Hadean powers, we are at last able to explore some of the dynamics of their qualities, most especially in how they interrelate. This allows us a better understanding of what you might call Hadean hierarchies or architectures, as delineated in...

The Mundane Eclipse

As often discussed, a solar eclipse is simply an extra-powerful New Moon, with all the attendant generative properties that you would expect, but also, with some unpredictable elements.
