Achlys in the Houses

Achlys in a house shows where the child learned that bringing that house’s core needs or functions into the early relationship would be met with minimisation, coldness, withdrawal, or humiliation. In response, they learned to disappear from that field more completely than the original caregiver ever disappeared from them, while...

Bring the Lamps Back In

In the house of the soul, there is a room where the lamps have been stolen. Not simply extinguished, but quietly removed while we were otherwise engaged. This is the work of Achlys, the Goddess of misery and mist who hides from our sight that which would deliver only sorrow...

True Lies: Mercury – Achlys, and Renee Good

The world has been rightly shocked by the tragic shooting of Renee Nicole Good on January 7th. What follows is an attempt to understand a tragic event through symbolic architecture rather than social commentary. Using astrology as a descriptive and symbolic language, not a moral one that purports to determine...

She’s not There: Achlys and the False Self

As our work on Achlys develops, certain psychological frameworks begin to emerge not as loose analogies, but as structural confirmations. One of the most striking of these is Donald Winnicott’s theory of the False Self, which aligns with Achlys so precisely that it now feels indispensable to the theory. Donald...

Telling it Like it Isn’t: Achlys and the Politics of Illusion

What follows needs to be read through an Achlysian lens rather than a partisan one. Achlys is not concerned with left or right, good intentions or bad actors, but with the maintenance and collapse of illusion. She emerges wherever a society can no longer sustain the stories it tells itself...

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...

Achlys Cazimi – the Beautiful Illusion, and its Denouement

For any astrological research of a previously uncharted star, there is an inevitable gulf between what we understand, and what we might come to understand. We can only bridge that gap by making forays of insight. Not all will be correct. Some will only tell a small piece of the...

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. I noticed a few interesting phenomena here. (Click image to enlarge) There is that cohort born in around 1913 who experienced their Pluto and Orcus...

Astrology of Vocation: pt. 2

Let us ascend then into the celestial realms of our métiers, and discover the message of our stars, in the context of our wider understandings of how the planets have the power to affect our destiny – the most universal bromide of which, is that the stars incline, they do...

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,...

Just throwing a quick question out there, is anyone following, through the lens of astrology, the Donald Trump trial? What are your thoughts? I've been looking at Trump’s progressed chart (above), his Ascendant has just moved into Scorpio, ruled by Pluto on the pr. MC. That seems to suggest a...

Orcus the Stoic, Ixion the Epicure

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. After all, the Sun is ‘blotted out’ and goes dark, so it is symbolically akin to a period where the solar principle...
