Itâs confession time. When I occasionally lay siege to the shaky bastion of someoneâs cherished concept (eg, Mercury retrograde, the Galactic Center, asteroids, etc), itâs as much for my own amusement as the incidental edification of my imagined readers. Maybe Iâm just an astrological provocateur, or maybe Iâm just bored. So when I spray some […]
A few months ago, a member of our local (Toronto) Astrology Meetup group asked the âprofessionalsâ in the community about their process for analyzing a chart. Although I currently practice Vedic astrology, I chose not to go into the detailed pro forma of that system. Instead, because the vast majority of the Meetup audience practices […]
A month ago I attended a lecture on the asteroids given by a relatively well-known American astrologer who should perhaps remain nameless, since this sort of âspecialtyâ scarcely deserves any more publicity. The asteroids are thought to be the remnants of the proto-planetary disk, a Saturn-like ring of space-junk beyond the orbit of Mars which, […]
The scene opens on the downtown office of famous psychotherapist Dr. Chiron. The doctor, in his sixties and sporting the obligatory goatee of his profession, sits behind a desk that bears a statue of Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders.

As astrologers, weâre often portrayed as oddballs, out on the fringe of the healing arts professions. Unconsciously or not, this has given some of us a collective insecurity complex, such that weâre left clinging to the hem of societyâs skirt, crying for attention like some little kid in need of a hug. Little wonder that, […]
Woody Allen said, âI believe in karma and reincarnation, because nothing else explains how I could get so far behind in just one life.â Half the worldâs population believes in reincarnation, which obliges us to be reborn again and again, working on our soulâs multiple-life lessons, like some poor kid who canât get his college […]
What is it with those writers in Hollywood? I thought everybody in California had an astrologer. Or even if they donât have one, surely theyâve been reading Rob Bresznyâs Real Astrology column long enough to know the rules of the game. Everything stops dead in its tracks for retrograde Mercury. Uh-oh, wait a minute, you […]
