Orcus and the Night Sea

In the grand tapestry of human mythology, the hero’s journey is often depicted as an outward conquest – the slaying of the dragon, the rescue of the maiden, the seizing of the golden artefact. But there is a second, more perilous journey that begins when the external world ceases to provide a mirror to your... Continue Reading →

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...

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...

Vocations IV

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” -- Confucious -- We have already begun to formulate some ideas around the astrological notions of vocation. First, and most broadly, we must pay attention to a wide array of factors to help...

Walls and Curtains: the Trial of Donald Trump

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 Astrology of Addiction

Over the last few days, I have spent some time thinking about addiction. In my first foray, this led me to spend some time looking at the astrology of some famous drinkers and drunks, and those who have battled addiction of other kinds. The received wisdom is that Neptune is...

Hard Times – The Astrology of Charles Dickens

Let us talk about the nativity of the wonderful, flawed soul that was Charles Dickens. My own experience was at first indifferent. Despite an interest in reading the classics, many years passed before I decided to read some Dickens, I first read Great Expectations several years ago and did...

Hadean Midpoint Pictures and Other Delights.

Okay, here's more. (Too much? Let me know your thoughts, I can slow down if that is better for you. Please do comment and share your observations and experiences. What I am really interested in hearing about is what about the placement of your Ixion is unendurable, and yet must...

The Great Gravy Train Robbery

Predicting the outcome of elections is hard. The British general election of two days ago has ushered in the most right-wing government Britain has ever seen. This bold conclusion is ably supported by the announcement today that Tommy Robinson, a far-right campaigner and member of various white supremacist organisations has...

Communion with Hades

I am checking in after a little absence because it's remarkable how quickly time flies and how much work you can get done without even the slightest disturbance on the surface of life and it might seem that there is nothing going on, in the depths of one's personal...

Vladimir Nabokov: No Rest for the Wicked?

Vladimir Nabokov was a sensitive and complex man. Highly intelligent and with an exotic past he was born into the Russian aristocracy before being forced, in fear of his life to flee his homeland in the 1917 revolution and spent his remaining years wandering the earth, never truly finding...

D.H. Lawrence and the Astrology of Outcasts

David Herbert Lawrence is one of the great writers of our time. His major works are considered to be among the finest literary works of the modern age, which when you consider his beginnings in working class obscurity during Britain’s late industrial age, and the relative fleetingness of his life – he died aged just...

Hadean Planets and Spiritual Work

How do we work with Pluto, and his co-rulers of the Underworld, to emancipate ourselves from difficulty, and to do the spiritual work that is our life's purpose? I would argue that it is, like so many spiritual methodologies and paradigms, at once incredibly simple and most decidedly difficult, but...

Not Enough Pluto

Not enough Pluto. Yes, it really can happen, and it's potentially devastating. We have looked closely over the years at several cases where a person is born with a surfeit of Pluto energy. The principle is that to have sympathy with an energy does not always mean to have...
