Paris Jackson: you canât go back to Neverland
Paris Jacksonâs name turned up on social media last month when TMZ reported that sheâd allegedly made a suicide attempt back in February. She vehemently denied this, but itâs not the first time sheâs been in similar circumstances. Can astrology confirm or deny a rumor such as this? Normal people donât understand depression, let alone […]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: the face of Americaâs
In the Vedic pantheon of deities, Venus is known as the Asuracharya, or guru to the demons. Judging by the invective heaped upon her by Republicans and conservative news media alike, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems nothing short of the anti-Christ. But maybe thatâs just the price you pay when you arrive on the battlefield announcing yourself […]
Nodal “weather” forecast: March 2019
As I explained in my initial post for this series, I’m conducting an experiment in visual display to help people appreciate the role of the nodes as proxy agents.

The existential question is: does it promise success or threaten destruction? As I explained in that article, there are multiple consequences when the chart is split in two by […]

Kala Sarpa: the astronomical rationale for âdosh
At the core of the mystique surrounding Kala Sarpa is the existential question: is it a yoga, or is it a dosha? Does it promise success or threaten destruction? That question can only be answered via yoga vichara, the careful analysis of a configuration in order to determine its nature, its strength, and its ultimate […]
Nodal “weather” forecast: January 2019
This is an experiment in visual display to help people appreciate the role of the nodes as proxy agents. The nodes act on behalf of planets (1) with which theyâre associated, (2) by which theyâre aspected, (3) whose sidereal sign they occupy, and (4) whose nakshatra they occupy, in descending order of effect. Although assigning […]
