Astrology and the Mastery of Joy Dec 2025

Every horoscope, to me, is the chart of a Hero In Training.

Each person has a unique mind (Mercury),

an esthetic sense, a way of creating and appreciating beauty, harmony and delight,
including in relationships (Venus)

a way of organizing life so it feels secure and solid (Saturn),

and 8 other worlds,
11 joys,
11 muses,
11 powers,
each of which is absolutely fundamental to playing this life with all our engines working

I call them 11 eases, the absence of which are the dis-eases.

They’re associated with the 9 planets, sun and moon.

So astrology has a unique contribution to holistic health, a whole other level to aspire to:
Health is when you totally enjoy your life, even with all the stumbles, crashes and hurts.

It is when all your planets, all those Eases, are understood and mastered,
in your unique way.

The horoscope is both the map of your character and your story,
the one you came to earth to live out.

And it requires all those 11 joys, treasures, competences, to fully flourish.
To truly know who we are inside, and what we want and love in all those areas of life.

11 initiations that are in our face every day, comprising the story of our life,
hour to hour,
month to month
decade to decade
which determine how much we enjoy this life and how fully we bring all of us to the world.

8 of these we all know,
3 of which could be called “superpowers”, achieved only by a few up to now.
And each person is strong in different areas than others are,
which lead us to each other
to collaborate or bring powers
that the other cannot bring at the moment

We have mentors in our lives who teach us about each of these powers
and famous people present and in history
who embody these 11.

Saturn–the sober one, total realist, no nonsense, always shows up to get things done and make things stable.

Uranus–the out-of-the-box geniuses who break the mold and bring something totally new and improvised to the public domain
Einstein. Shakespeare. Galileo.

We have well-known examples in history of all these initiations and masteries, about whom stories have been told, from songs to films to biographies–so that we can be inspired and empowered to the same mastery in all 11 fields.

I will develop this further in the next post, sharing how crucial and central to the human destiny it is–will we become what humans are meant to become?
And go beyond crisis control to creating a world that works for everyone?

Astrology has a central part to play in dreaming the future into being. Are we ready?

Astrology and Relationships Oct 2025

Everyone has a different intellect and communication style (Mercury), different emotional nature (Moon), a different approach to discipline and organizing your life (Saturn), different attractions and appreciations, aesthetics and relationship styles (Venus), and somehow we weave around each other, trying to know, enjoy and jam with life together.

If you count 10 planets and the ascendant or rising sign, there are 121 relationships going on between any two people. How does my need for freedom and invention (Uranus) get along with your need for structure, commitment, reliability and responsibility (Saturn)? Is my self-assertive style and spontaneity (Mars) compatible with your need for courtesy (Venus)?

And are there ways in which we can create a “1 + 1 + 11” relationship, where we multiply each other’s gifts and life satisfaction?

Sometimes a single conflict between one of my planets and yours, could bring down our relationship, even though our other connections might be really rich. When can we bend, and when do we have to stand our ground?

How do we truly penetrate another’s world, invite them into ours–and find the most dynamic, satisfying ways to co-create our destinies–as friends, family, neighbours, colleagues or partners?

Astrology allows us to see the many layers of another, including ones they may be hiding, even from themselves. It can open up new ways of supporting each other and expanding the horizons of the relationship.

Example: Two really excellent women revealed an attraction to me, one already a longtime friend. Looking at one woman’s chart, I saw that she was extremely gutsy and passionate (so would demand to be met there), very blunt (so forget it if you’re insecure, that’s a dealbreaker, yet great for always knowing where you stand and what she feels).
She was also a bit of a control freak, so you’d better be reliable to a fault when she needs it, AND stand up to her when it’s too much.
She was totally loyal and would demand the same, perfect to watch your back in the trenches and be fully invested, if that’s what you want.
The other woman: a free spirit, highly creative and brave, will give you tons of freedom and invention, but would not necessarily be there in a crunch. Emotionally rich, full of love, but it’s universal, spiritual love, so don’t be fooled. Very tribal, many friends, so she’ll give you a whole community.

And those are only a few layers of two mighty beings.

In almost any relationship, there are planets in easy harmony with each other, which generally show up early in the relationship as attraction and compatibility. Then there are planets that don’t even connect very much to the other. Finally, there are the challenging aspects between one person’s planets and another’s. They are the “make or break” of a relationship, potentially fatal or eternally annoying, unless you use them as opportunities for growth, healing, expansion, transformation.

Uranus In Gemini – A VERY Big Astrological Event! Find Out Why

It’s a brand new story on planet earth. 

Saturn In Aries: A 29 1/2 Year Cycle = A New Story & Cycle For Humanity

Every 29 1/2 years, Saturn moves into Aries, the first sign, and a New Story is born on planet earth.

 The previous time was 1967-68 when the counterculture was born, with the reinvention of practically every aspect of society and personal lifestyle. People became free to invent their own lives, following their inner light and creativity. Conforming to social expectations was no longer compulsory. Individuality and creativity abounded. Relationships and sexuality, personal spirituality instead of having to join a religion, clothing and hair styles and gender roles, all opened up. The world would never be the same.
