Astrological Ramblings
WTF is Electional Astrology (and how tf do you use it)?! Electional astrology (aka event astrology) is when an astrologer strives to find (or does find) the most auspicious date, time, and location for some event to take place. This practice has been around in some form since Babylonian times (16 BCE)…and still being used in practice today. Even though I have a good number of clients that have me cast electional charts for different life events, I have actually never written about THIS type of astrology, either (kind of like how I had never written about horary astrology until recently). Not only that, but the crime/forensic astrology charts that I’ve done (both by myself and with Brandy) are event charts (just not the “elected by the querent” kind). Same idea remains though – reading the chart of the “event” in question as a stand-alone chart. **If you would like for me to help you elect a date for an important event in your life, I would love to help you with that!

If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is the video that I did on this subject. Something to keep in mind when using electional astrology to cast charts – THERE IS NO PERFECT CHART! This just simply doesn’t exist. While you might strive to […]
This year, in 2025, the world will see a bunch of changes in planetary energy (which translates to things feeling different Earth-side). One of the big collective transits that will take place is the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries. Not only does this NOT happen very often (roughly every 36 years), but BOTH of these planets will have just moved into Aries when this takes place (meaning there is a whole bunch of “new” with this one). Disclaimer: When looking at astroweather (transits), including transit Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries, you HAVE to take YOUR OWN ASTROLOGY CHART into consideration to know HOW a transit might play out personally for you. If you want some help with that, you can get a reading from me by clicking on this text. Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:-Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025-Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026-Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign-Saturn has an orbital period of roughly 29 years. It spends 2.5 years in a sign-Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1953 in Libra. Over this past week I have had more thoughts come to me about transit Saturn conjunct transit Neptune in […]

I don’t know about y’all, but I am SO GLAD that transit Saturn has moved out of Pisces, and now we have transit Saturn in Aries. It doesn’t even matter to me that Saturn is in fall in Aries – I’m just glad Saturn is out of Pisces…where it can jerk off (which is not how Saturn wants to function anyway). Even though Saturn is in fall in Aries, and it might take a little longer to get stuff done, it DOES eventually get the stuff it needs to get done, done. **When looking at transit Saturn in Aries (or any astrological transit), it’s important to consider how they interact with your personal astrology chart….so you can see how these energies could unfold for you.

Here is a video I made about this for people who like to watch things In the last post about Pluto’s Return, I went over the US’s 2021/2022 Solar Return Chart. In this post, I will be moving forward in time to the US’s Solar Return that starts in 2022. With regular Solar Return charts for people, you generally don’t want to look too far in advance since you need to have the location that the person is on their birthday/when their Solar Return happens. In the case of looking at a country, I have set the reference location to Washington DC, the nations capital. Unless something happens between then and now that changes where the nations capital is, this Solar Return chart will still be valid this far into the future. Below you will see the Solar Return chart I’m talking about: The Solar Return Ascendant is in Gemini, which makes the SR Chart ruler Mercury…which falls in Cancer in the 1st House. While I definitely think we are pretty chatty as a nation this year, and really, probably more sensitive about how we communicate, I do wonder how this actually translates in real time. Do we use this for thinking/communicating in a more compassionate way, or we use to it as a way to further misunderstand one another (again, just being overly sensitive and offended about everything). It also feels kind of….scattered. This could really go either way at this point since we’re still so far out from […]
I’m baaaaack! And talking about a topic within astrology that I love….which is retrograde planets. Hahahaha, honestly I have been so busy these past (about) 4 months that I just haven’t had a spare moment to actually add to my astrological ramblings. And I’m truly SO eternally grateful for this, for the people that have hired me to do readings for them and kept me so busy. Practicing astrology (and being able to ACTUALLY practice astrology for clients) is one of the great loves of my life. So, to everyone that has hired me to do work for them, thank you so very much 🙂 Over the past few months I have had several clients with a shitload of retrograde planets in their natal charts. Not only that though, but I have also seen an influx of questions on the different forums that I frequently creep on/answer questions on about what it means to have whatever planet in retrograde (and we could be talking about any planet here, except for the Sun and Moon, which never go retrograde). I tend to look at retrograde planets through more of the soul’s journey kind of lens, meaning I believe they tend to be things that our soul wanted to learn about and understand in a myriad of different ways throughout our different incarnations on Planet Earth/this 3D dimension. Thinking about it from this point of view helps to put it all into perspective for me. For some reason, the soul really wanted […]
**In this post in the series, we will take the House that the North Node falls in out of the equation and just focus on what it means to have your North Node in a specific sign (and what it means to have the South Node in the polarity sign). Usually with things having to do with the Nodal Axis (and growing into our North Node), a catalyst occurs in our lives that edges us out of the comfort of the South Node and into the uncharted territory of the North. This catalyst could be something major and life changing (such as a death, marriage, or divorce), or even something much more minor. Something will kind of shake us internally, saying “Wake up, fucker. You’re supposed to move beyond this,” whatever the “this” in the situation is. Once this waking up occurs, you will begin to move towards the North Node. Though, in all my years of study, this period of waking up usually doesn’t occur until the person’s first Saturn Return, or after it.** North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn: If your North Node falls in Cancer, this makes you North Node mission all about being of support to others and accepting that same support in return, learning how to be vulnerable, emotional and sensitive (and coming to terms with this side of yourself), and home/domestic life & family. With your South Node falling Capricorn, in a previous life/lives, you were probably in control of your emotions and […]
