Chiron

Chiron’s Meaning

Known as the “Wounded Healer” Chiron relates to any wounds which can be physical or emotional or spiritual healing like nursing, self-work and forgiveness. In the myth Chiron was a teacher and so it has correspondences with teachers, gurus, guides, clerics and mentors. Chiron shines the light on the path for you and others.

Chiron’s Sign Rulership

Chiron does not rule any sign.

 



Chiron’s Meaning

Where we have wounds (both physical and emotional) are shown by Chiron.

Chiron rules healing and the healing process. It is also about where things scab over but are then picked at again. Chiron governs all weeping wounds. It shows where you can heal others as well.

Chiron is the gift in your chart, but you have to be healed to see it.

Chiron is a teacher and where you can learn. It shows where a teacher will appear when you are ready. It is the symbol of a guru from whom you can learn. Chiron can be your muse.

Chiron shows any weakness, it is where we perceive our own weakness and shortcomings.

Chiron depicts your own Achilles’ Heel and where you are weak and can be brought down by your actions or the actions of others.

Chiron: Bridging Planet

Transiting Chiron

Chiron is considered the bridging planet because it bridges the gap between the visible and the invisible planets.

Chiron’s orbit lies between Saturn and Uranus.

Chiron’s elliptical path allows it to move near both Saturn’s orbit, and Uranus’ orbit thus affording it the feature of sometimes being an outer planet and sometimes not.

Chiron’s Speed

Due to Chiron’s elliptical orbit, Chiron travels faster when it is closer to the Sun in the sign of Libra and moves slower when it is farther from the Sun in the sign of Aries.

Chiron transits through Libra in under two years and transits through Aries in over eight years.

The sign in which Chiron is placed in the natal chart determines how long it will take to make the squares and oppositions to its natal position.

However, the Chiron return (when Chiron returns to the natal position) is always at age forty-nine to fifty-one.

Your Only Chiron Return

Chiron returns happen once at around age fifty.

You may experience and one or three hit Chiron return.

The Chiron return is about themes of healing, learning lessons, giving back and grandparental roles.

Transiting Chiron by House

Chiron will pass through all the houses in your chart in your lifetime as it takes around fifty years to orbit the Sun. The natal placement sets the tone for your experience of Chiron. It is important to understand Chiron’s message in your chart.

This planet does not have a sign to rule and so can easily be a background planet in your chart.

Chiron has a reputation as the wounded healer, and this can manifest easily. In a way there seems to be more on the downside for Chiron, but I urge you to look for the upside of a Chiron transit.

Chiron Negative Traits

The negative Chiron keywords of wound, pain, Achilles’ heel and sadness may dominate the understanding of Chiron. This is a predominant habit in the popular astrology.

Chiron: Positive Traits

By using the positive Chiron keywords of teacher, gift, key, healer and guru you may find better interpretations for this planet.

Transiting Chiron by House

Transiting Chiron in the First House

You become aware of your personal weaknesses when Chiron enters your first house. This can be a time for self-improvement on many levels. At this time, you are your own best teacher and you may discover what you really need in your life.

Transiting Chiron in the Second House

Transiting Chiron in the second house can suggest you have a gift for managing money. You may give more or you may be the recipient of support from others by them giving you a position to earn some money. This is a time for not really being paid what you are worth. It also indicates you somehow find healing in your self-esteem.

Transiting Chiron in the Third House

Transiting Chiron in the third house can suggest that you are happy to teach others in your neighborhood, this can be the local kids or the people in your immediate surroundings. You may find a thought leader now and enjoy their teachings.

Transiting Chiron in the Fourth House

Transiting Chiron in the fourth house suggests that you will discover weaknesses in your family and home. This could indicate that you can address any problems and become a person that your family can turn to in times of their need. You are seen as the family counsellor.

Transiting Chiron in the Fifth House

Transiting Chiron in the fifth house suggests that you may acknowledge your children’s imperfections for the first time. This also indicates that your children may take advantage of your weakness because you love them. You may overindulge your children now which may not be for their good.

Transiting Chiron in the Sixth House

This is the perfect time to take refresher courses in your industry and find a mentor at work. You are likely to find advisors in the job market now. These people may be recruiters or peers it depends. If you are over fifty you can become the mentor for a younger protegè.

Transiting Chiron in the Seventh House

When Chiron enters the seventh house your partner may need your help. It is a time to see the cracks in your relationships and try to patch them up. New relationships started at this time will be a learning process for you. You may meet a potential partner who becomes a burden to you.

 

Transiting Chiron in the Eighth House

As Chiron passes through your eighth house you may become aware of your own mortality and frailness. This is an excellent time to get therapy (or rehab) for yourself. It is a good time for psychoanalysis as you are eager to learn from a good teacher. During this period you could take too much (and take for granted) from your partner like money, food or emotional demands. Make sure to give support to any joint and shared resources.

Transiting Chiron in the Ninth House

This is the perfect time to start an adult education program or go back to college. You are open to knowledge and will find a great teacher now. Religion and philosophy may become one of your study areas. Travel to areas where you can help other people such as teaching, aid or educating people is good now.

Transiting Chiron in the Tenth House

Promotion that happens under a Chiron transit of the tenth house can be a two edged sword. You are glad of the opportunity but the reality of the extra responsibility. and what is required of you, may make you feel overwhelmed. You can suffer from “imposter syndrome” where you can’t believe that someone is paying you to do the job, because you like it so much, and can that be right? Or can it?

Transiting Chiron in the Eleventh House

Transiting Chiron in the eleventh house brings friends that need help. You may be asked to assist your friends and associates which you are happy to do and rightly so as this is the time for you to give this type of aid. Make sure you do not become their doormat as at this time you can do more for them than is actually helpful. Becoming your friend’s enabler will not help them in the long run.

Transiting Chiron in the Twelfth House

When Chiron enters your twelfth house it is a time for quiet contemplation. You may spend peaceful times and help your dark side whatever that is. If you have secret problems (like addictions) you can address them now. This is the time to heal your inner self which could be simply getting more sleep so you can face the day. Prayer and meditation will help calm you now.

Chiron’s Background and Supporting Role

Transiting Chiron is not usually at the forefront of any interpretation, but it can underscore or enhance particular messages that are shown through the other chart details in the forecast material. As a forecasting astrologer bear that in mind.

Transiting Chiron by Aspect

The aspects Chiron makes back to its natal position are most telling in forecast work and specifically, the square, opposition and conjunction.

Chiron Waxing Square

The transiting Chiron waxing square to natal Chiron occurs between age eight to twenty-two years.

Chiron Opposition

The transiting Chiron opposition to natal Chiron occurs between age twenty-two to forty-two years.

Chiron Waning Square

The transiting Chiron waning square to natal Chiron occurs between age twenty-seven to forty- five years.

Chiron Return

The transiting Chiron return to the natal Chiron position is between age forty-nine to fifty- one years.

Transiting Chiron Aspects

Transiting Chiron Conjunctions

When Chiron conjoins a natal planet, it brings a chance for you to fix things. You become aware of what needs doing and you may or may not actually do anything about them. You could simply discover that you need glasses or a hearing aid for example. You can help others now in the nature of the natal planet.

Transiting Chiron Sextiles

When Chiron sextiles a natal planet you discover your latent talents in the helping and healing fields in the nature of the natal planet. This can be a gentle transit where you may just think of doing something but not actually do anything. The road to hell is paved with good intentions which is the nature of this transit.

Transiting Chiron Squares

As Chiron squares a natal planet you can expect the difficult side of Chiron to come out in the nature of the natal planet. This could expose a weakness or a crack in whatever the natal planet rules and means in your chart. It can be a time to mend fences and shore up weaknesses you may have. This transit will not fix things but bring them to your attention as a learning process.

Transiting Chiron Trines

When Chiron trines a natal planet is brings a time for you to give back, support the weak and learn how to teach others in the nature of the natal planet. You will become good at helping others and this is good if you are naturally a counsellor or teacher. You have skills. life experience and knowledge to pass on to others now.

Transiting Chiron Oppositions

Transiting Chiron oppositions are a time when you are expected to help when you do not feel like it. You will have to draw on resources that you did not know you had to get through some challenging periods with other people and situations. This is not the time to be contrary although that just maybe how you feel. Preparation is key to managing this transit.

Sagittarius Horoscopes

Author: Alison Price   –   Published:  August 2024

Which Horoscope Should You Read?

The Starzology horoscopes are written for your Ascendant sign (also known as your rising sign), as it gives the most accurate insights for timing and personal themes.

If you know your Ascendant, start there. If not, no worries—reading your Sun sign horoscope is still helpful and can give you a good sense of the current energies.

Curious to find out your Ascendant sign? A professional astrology reading will give you your full chart, including your rising sign, Moon sign, and so much more about your unique cosmic blueprint.

To book a personal astrology session with me (Alison), just click the button below. Let’s explore your stars together.

Sagittarius Money

Full Moon (July 10th)

This month Full Moon casts its illuminating light on your own finances, providing clarity and insight into your money matters. If you can, consider saving any available funds now. Despite feeling like you have enough to splurge, it would be wise to hold onto your cash until the next New Moon, when things are clearer. This is an opportunity to face the reality of your savings and investments, rather than relying on hopeful expectations. Use this time wisely to reassess your financial priorities and contemplate where you want to allocate your money for the future. Remember, there’s no need to rush into financial decisions. Take the time to make thoughtful and informed choices about your finances. Utilize this time to gain a better understanding of your financial situation and chart a well-informed path forward. By being patient and deliberate, you can make sound financial choices that align with your long-term goals and aspirations.

    Sagittarius Creativity

    Neptune SRx: Creativity (until Mid-December)

    When Neptune stations retrograde in your fifth house, it is like a dreamy veil lifts from your creative life, to reveal what is truly inspiring and what might have been just fantasy for you all along. Neptune is one planet that rules art (the other is Venus) and specifically intangible art. Intangible art is music, ballet, singing, choreography, mime and composing.

     

     

    Neptune’s influence in your creativity sector here brings a soft, intuitive and often mystical energy to your artistic world. While Neptune moves direct, you may feel carried along by imagination, idealism, or romantic visions, but when Neptune pauses and stations retrograde, there’s a subtle shift inward. At this time some illusions dissolve as new truths emerge. Now can be a powerful time to reflect on your creative goals. Ask yourself, “Are I expressing my authentic self, or am I chasing a dream that doesn’t quite fit me anymore?”

    If you have felt blocked or overwhelmed by too many ideas buzzing about then this reversing of Neptune may help you reconnect with what’s real and meaningful. Your artistic process may become more introspective now. Rather than pushing for performance or perfection, allow your inner creativity to come from a quiet, emotional space. You might rediscover old projects, childhood passions, or daydreams that still have life in them.

     

    Some ways to work with this transit:

    • Return back to any creative projects you have set aside because there could be gold in the old ideas
    • Spend some time in solitude and reflection to nurture your artistic spirit
    • Keep a dream journal or sketchbook nearby then when symbols and inspiration come through to you your subconscious you can capture them now
    • Revisit your artistic ideals and ask if they still feel right and sit right with you
    • Allow yourself to create without pressure and make this a time to feel, not perform

     

    Neptune retrograde in your creativity area is an invitation you to slow down and rediscover your inner artist, that is, the child within who creates for the sheer joy of it. Let your imagination gently wander and wonder and allow your heart guide your hands.

    Sagittarius Wellbeing

    Moon: Health and wellbeing (July 19th, 20th and 21st)

    When the Moon briefly moves through your wellbeing sector your focus turns to the small things that support your daily life and your routines, your body, and your overall sense of balance and wellbeing. This transit only lasts about two to three days, but it offers a valuable chance to tune in and make gentle adjustments. Emotionally, you may feel more sensitive to your environment, your schedule, and even the food you eat. Your body often mirrors the Lunar phase and energy, so pay attention to what it needs now and whether that’s more rest, hydration or nourishing meals.

    Self-care habits

    This is a good time to check in with your self-care habits. The Moon here can highlight areas of tension or imbalance, but not to overwhelm you and it’s simply to show you where a little kindness and consistency could go a long way. You might also feel drawn to tidy up your space, organize your day, or tend to unfinished tasks. Even simple acts like making your bed, planning healthy meals, or stretching can bring a soothing sense of order and emotional grounding.

     

    Starz Tips for this transit:

    • Listen to your body and honor its needs and signals
    • Declutter or clean your workspace for mental clarity
    • Prepare a nourishing protein dense meal or herbal tea to support your wellbeing
    • Use astro journaling or breathwork to calm any anxiety
    • Focus on one small, helpful habit which you can easily carry forward into the following days

     

    Though the Moon moves quickly, its time in your sixth house is a beautiful reminder that healing lives in the little things. A moment of mindfulness, a good stretch, or a well-timed nap can do wonders.

     

    Sun: Vision and Life-Path (July 22nd)

    As the Sun enters your vision sector, a period of insightful revelations begins. This cosmic event shines a radiant light on your aspirations, dreams, and long-term goals. It’s as if the universe grants you a clear vision of your path ahead, illuminating the steps you need to take to realize your desires.

    During this time, you may find yourself more attuned to your inner wisdom and intuition, making it easier to recognize opportunities and overcome obstacles that may have been obscuring your vision. The Sun’s energy empowers you to see beyond the immediate circumstances and glimpse the bigger picture of your life’s journey.

    This phase encourages you to embrace your inner calling and move confidently toward your dreams. It’s an ideal time to set intentions and make plans for the future, knowing that the universe supports your endeavors.

    Take advantage of this auspicious time to gain clarity and focus. Reflect on what truly matters to you and how you can align your actions with your aspirations. Embrace this celestial gift of insight and let it guide you on a purposeful and fulfilling path.

    Only in the last week will you have the time or energy to consider your life plans. This part of your life may have taken a back seat for a while and this trend continues into next month. You are not yet at the point of making changes for your future. Be patient and the time will come.

    Focus on your life-path and vision. Take the time to spruce up your vision board so it more closely represents what you are aiming for in life.

    New Moon: Vision (July 25th)

    Consider taking some time to reflect on your life’s direction and aspirations. On the 25th, during the New Moon, seize this opportune moment to craft and set some meaningful New Moon wishes. By aligning your intentions with the cosmic energies of the New Moon, you can pave the way for positive changes and growth in your life’s journey. Embrace this powerful time to dream big and envision the path you wish to embark on, allowing the universe to support and guide you towards your desires.

     Cancer July 2025



    Cancer Love

    Full Moon: Partnerships (July 10th)

    This month brings a wonderful opportunity for your serious relationships to flourish. As the Full Moon arrives on the 10th, it presents a moment for you to be completely open and honest with your partner, expressing your true feelings and thoughts about the state of your relationship.

    During this time, there’s a sense of clarity and transparency, allowing you to see your affiliation for what it truly is, without any masks or hiding places. This newfound transparency extends to both you and your partner, fostering an environment of genuine communication.

    Embrace this chance to strengthen your existing serious relationships by anchoring them in reality rather than fantasies. By being honest and open, you can navigate the complexities and challenges together, allowing your bond to thrive and endure. Have confidence in yourself and take this step toward greater intimacy and understanding. You have the strength to do it, and it can lead to a deeper and more fulfilling connection with your partner.

    Cancer Money

    Mercury Rx: Money (July 18th)

    When Mercury stations retrograde in your money sector on the 18th, it’s time to review finances, budgets and spending habits. Avoid major purchases or signing financial agreements. Miscommunications about money may arise. Use this period to reassess your values, organize resources and find lost income opportunities. Reflection brings clarity once Mercury moves forward next month.

    New Moon (July 24th)

    Your financial situation should approve dramatically at the New Moon. This is not to say that you will have extra cash but the money that you do have will seem to go so much further.

    The Sun: Finances (July 22nd)

    As the 22nd approaches, the Sun’s energy will invigorate your financial area, instilling a sense of positivity about your cash situation. This uplifting influence may make you feel more confident and content regarding your finances.

    Cancer Wellbeing

    The Sun: Vitality (Until July 22nd)

    Embrace the radiant energies as the Sun graces your sign until the 22nd, illuminating your life with positivity and good fortune for the entire month ahead. During this time, your desires, rather than just your necessities, are likely to find fulfillment. To make the most of this period, approach life with warmth and kindness, and you will find that others respond in kind. Before the 22nd, take the opportunity to be fully aware of your true self, recognizing your unique contributions to life and understanding your path forward.

    Solstice Turning Points

    Solstice Turning Points

    Gain insights on the symbolism of the Solar cycles, and focus on the solstices. Let’s explore the significance behind these celestial events and delve into the meaning they hold.

    Mars

    Mars

    Author: Alison Price   –   Originally published: April 2021   –   Revised: January 2024

    Mars

    Mars In Your Chart

    Mars, in astrology, is a dynamic and fiery planet that holds a prominent place in the chart. Representing the god of war in Roman mythology, Mars is associated with energy, action, and assertiveness.

    Mars is a key plant in any chart. It influences various aspects of your personality and shapes the way you approach life.

     

    Mars’ Meaning

    Mars is often described as the planet of action, and its position in your birth chart can offer valuable insights into your drive, ambition, and how you pursue their goals.

    If Mars is strongly placed, it can signify a person who is proactive, assertive, and unafraid to take risks. On the flip side, challenging aspects to Mars (like squares and oppositions) may manifest as impatience, impulsiveness, or a tendency to become easily frustrated.

    Mars Returns

    The concept of “Mars Returns” is another fascinating aspect of Martian astrology. Similar to the well-known Saturn Return, Mars Return occurs approximately every two years, signifying a period when the energy, motivation, and assertiveness associated with Mars are heightened.

    This can be a time of significant personal growth, as you may feel a surge of vitality and a renewed sense of purpose.

     

    Mars in Forecasting

    In predictive astrology, the transits and progressions involving Mars can serve as indicators of periods where you may feel compelled to take action, face challenges head-on, or experience increased vitality.

    However, it’s crucial to approach these influences with mindfulness and awareness, as Mars’ energy can be intense and may require a balanced and conscious channeling.

    Leo Money

    Mars: Finances

    Mars is in your money area. Mars can burn a hole in your pocket and this month you may find you spend as quickly as you earn, or even before. Rash purchases are likely now. Take a deep breath before buying more stuff. Your finances begin the month pretty steady being neither up nor down. The excitement will come around and you need to resist the urge to splurge on things you really cannot afford. “If you cannot pay cash, you can’t afford it” will be the watchwords for this month. It may be tempting to treat yourself to little luxuries, but you will be better off in the long run if your hold back until next month. 

    Full Moon 6th House (July 10th)

    Around the 10th, the Full Moon shines its illuminating light on your work zone, bringing clarity to your daily activities and the rewards (monetarily) they yield. This lunar event prompts a moment of re-evaluation, allowing you to discern what truly brings you fulfillment in your work, as opposed to what simply occupies your time. It’s a perfect opportunity to refocus your efforts and prioritize tasks that align with your sense of purpose and bring you genuine satisfaction.

    Leo Creativity

    Moon: Natural Creativity (July 7th, 8th and 9th)

Creative projects will feel deeply personal now and your moods can strongly influence how and when inspiration flows.

Use this dynamic celestial energy of the Sun in Leo to do something that warms your heart and the souls of others. Be generous of spirit and you will experience contentment. Now you can easily find joy in ordinary tasks.

    The Sun: Vitality (July 22nd)

    As the month progresses, the energy will shift, leading to changes in different areas of your life. But fear not, for when the Sun moves into your sign on the 22nd, coinciding with the equinox, it heralds your moment to shine brightly.

    Embrace authenticity and stay true to yourself, allowing your genuine identity to shine through. It’s crucial to resist the pressure of conforming to others’ expectations, whether it be your mother-in-law’s or your parents’. Instead, confidently proclaim, “This is who I am.”

    Now is the time to step into the limelight, seizing every moment to express yourself fully. Refrain from hiding your true essence; use your self-assurance to show the world the remarkable individual that you are. Let your inner light shine brilliantly for all to see.

    New Moon: Personality (July 24th)

    This New Moon offers a fresh start in how you show up in the world. It’s a gentle invitation to realign your outer self with your inner truth—no pressure, just possibility.

    Because this lunation falls in your sign, it’s a powerful time to set intentions and make New Moon Wishes. Consider how you want to be seen, what energy you want to radiate, and what direction you’d like your life to take this month.

    You don’t need to force anything, but even small changes—like embracing more joy, confidence, or authenticity—can create a smoother, more fulfilling path ahead. Let this be a reset, a moment to envision and begin the version of you that feels most true.

    Eris: The Female Warrior

    Eris: The Female Warrior

    Eris

    The female warrior.

    The meaning of Eris as a planet in astrology is covered lightly here for information only.

     

    Eris’ Discovery

    The discovery of the dwarf planet Eris marked a significant milestone in the exploration of our solar system.

    Eris was first observed on January 5, 2005, by a team of astronomers led by Dr. Mike Brown at the California Institute of Technology.

    The discovery not only expanded our understanding of the outer solar system but also played a role in the redefinition of what constitutes a planet.

    Eris’ Rulership

    Eris does not rule any zodiac sign.

     

    Podcast Episode

    Listen to our recent discussion about Eris on the Starzology Astrology podcast.

     

    Eris Meaning

    Eris embodies several key principles that resonate deeply within her character and significance:

     

    Xena the Female Warrior

    Firstly, she epitomizes the spirit of Xena the female warrior.

    In her essence, Eris channels the strength, courage, and prowess associated with the legendary female warrior, Xena.

    This facet of her persona underscores the empowerment and resilience she brings to any narrative or situation.

     

    Sister of Mars

    Secondly, Eris was the sister of Mars, signifying her familial connection to Mars, the god of war in Roman mythology.

    This familial tie intertwines her destiny with the realm of conflict, underscoring her association with the martial aspects of existence.

    This bond with Mars amplifies the intensity and strategic depth that Eris brings to the forefront.

     

    Worthy Competition

    Furthermore, Eris operates under the principle that she will compete only if the endeavor is deemed worthy of her effort.

    This discerning approach reflects her commitment to meaningful engagements and the pursuit of excellence.

    Eris does not engage in frivolous or inconsequential competitions; instead, she reserves her energy for endeavors that hold genuine value and significance.

     

    Collective Good

    Lastly, Eris serves as a beacon, illuminating the specific areas where one must pull together for the collective good—the team.

    Her presence is a guiding force, revealing the interconnectedness and collaborative efforts required to achieve common goals.

    Eris, in this aspect, stands as a symbol of unity, emphasizing the importance of synergy in the pursuit of shared objectives.

     

    Eris’ Essence

    In summary, Eris encapsulates the principles of Xena the female warrior, highlighting her embodiment of strength and courage.

    As the sister of Mars, she is inherently tied to the domain of warfare, adding depth to her character.

    Her selective approach to competition underscores a commitment to endeavors of substance, while her role as a guiding force emphasizes the necessity of collaboration for collective success.

    Together, these principles define Eris’s character and illuminate the values she imparts to those who encounter her mythical presence.

    Pluto Transits Through the Houses

    Pluto Transits Through the Houses

    Author: Alison Price   –   Published: September 2021   –   Revised: March 2024

    Pluto Transits the Houses

    Introduction

    In this post I’m going to share with you, key energy shifts that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your chart. When your start with transits you typically begin from the outer planets inwards towards the Sun. The first planet that you will study will be Pluto. Pluto takes a long time to pass through each sign. It can take years to transit the houses of your chart.

    Pluto’s Time in Each Sign

    Taking into account that Pluto will retrograde over signs boundaries I am only looking at the first time Pluto enters a new sign in all cases.

    This will give an average time for the planet to be in each sign, although yes, it will retrograde at the beginning of the ingress and go back to the previous sign for a while and at the end of a sign it will move into the new signa finally to retrograde back for a while into the old sign.

    But all things being equal, that is why I’m taking the first ingress of Pluto into each sign that has occurred relatively recently.

    Pluto Through the Signs

    Pluto passed through Leo from 1939 to 1956 when it first entered Virgo. Pluto took 17 years to cover 30 degrees.

    Pluto transitted Virgo from 1956 to 1971 when it entered Libra. Pluto was 15 years in Virgo.

    Pluto entered Libra from 1971 to 1983 when it entered Scorpio. Pluto was 14 years in Libra.

    Pluto occupied Scorpio from 1983 to 1995 when it entered Sagittarius. Pluto was 12 years in Scorpio.

    Pluto took residence in Sagittarius from 1995 to 2008 when it went into Capricorn. Pluto was 13 years in Sagittarius.

    Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will remain there until 2023 when it will go into Aquarius. Pluto will be 15 years in Capricorn.

    Pluto’s Perihelion and Aphelion

    Perihelion

    When a planet gets closest to the Sun in its orbit, it is called perihelion.

    Pluto, perihelion was actually within Neptune’s orbit on September 5th, 1989 at 13 degrees Scorpio. 

      

    Aphelion

    Pluto’s aphelionis  when it is the farthest away from the Sun in its orbit.

    The last time Pluto was in Taurus was over one hundred years ago in 1867. Pluto was in Taurus from 1852 to 1882 which means that Pluto spent 30 years in Taurus.

    Kepler’s 2nd Law

    Kepler’s 2nd law of planetary motion states that, “Planets sweep out equal areas in equal time.”



    This means that when a planet is closer to the Sun, at perihelion, it moves faster, as Pluto did through Scorpio. When a planet is further from the Sun, at aphelion, it moves slower as Pluto did when it transited Taurus. Pluto transited Scorpio in a brief twelve years but took thirty years to transit Taurus. Having said all that let’s have a look at some key phrases that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your natal chart.

     



    Initial House Ingress

    The most important part of transiting Pluto, or any planet for that matter, is the time it first enters a new house. That event will bring a period of usually one whole year when the changes relating to the new house are the most felt by the person whose chart it is.

     

    By the time Pluto has been in a house for five to ten years you do get used to the energy. When in a particular house, if Pluto then conjoins a planet in your house it will it trigger more responses in you. And when transiting Pluto makes general aspects to the planets in your chart, but that is the topic for another time.

     

    Ok, so we have covered some potential shifts of energy that you may experience as Pluto transits the different houses of your chart. Find the date when Pluto will change houses for you and jot that special date down in your calendar and worksheet.

    Starztober 2025: Astro Art Challenge

    Starztober 2025: Astro Art Challenge

    Author: Alison Price   –   Updated: September 2025

    Starztober: Astro Art Challenge 

    Introduction

    Inktober is an art movement devised by Jake Parker way back in 2009. 

    It’s a challenge designed to encourage artists to improve their skills and develop positive drawing habits. During Inktober, participants create one ink artwork each day throughout October, resulting in a collection of thirty-one unique pieces by the end of the month.

    The challenge is open to artists of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. Each day has a prompt word to inspire creativity and guide the day’s drawing. While the traditional medium is ink, many artists experiment with different materials and techniques, making Inktober a diverse and inclusive event.

    Participating in Inktober is not just about the end result; it’s about the journey of daily practice, pushing creative boundaries, and connecting with a global community of artists. By the end of the month, artists often find their skills improved and their artistic horizons expanded.

    This week I’m talking about Starztober which is Inktober for astrologers.

    I’ve previously done Starztober for several years now where my original Starztober prompts were intermingled with other New Age topics as well, but this year, in 2025, we’re going to look at it slightly differently.

    I’ll be starting an Astro Card Deck.

    Astro Resources

    As someone who taught astrology for over 15 years, I know that the way to learn a subject is not just to read one book. It’s always better to have multiple ways of learning things and this is where Astro cards come in.

    There are many published astrology decks and the one I started using was the AT Mann Astrology cards.

    They are a Tarot deck with astrological symbols on, which was great to learn with because I knew astrology but I didn’t know Tarot, so I was able to combine the two knowledges.

    Astro Journal

    Additionally, when learning astrology, you need to be working with your journal making notes, drawing charts, making sketches, appreciating the planetary movements and understanding the keywords for the planets. In this way, you create for yourself learning resources that you can come back to time and time again in the future. Not only do I have a basic astrology journal with clearly the basic stuff in it, but each year I get myself in Leuchtturm A5 journal and turn it into my 2025, 2026 and my 2027 astrology journal.

    As I’m tracking what’s interesting me in eclipses, perhaps that’s going on what’s happening each month, this is where I am able to do my monthly overarches as well. It’s an interactive thing where I create with my own fair hand, with my coloured pencils and my markers.

    To make diagrams and lists of what’s going on up there right now helps me understand astrology and ultimately this helps you too as my client. I’m continuously developing my astrology knowledge and I’d like to urge you to do that too.

    This can be done by creating an astrology card deck for Starztober, which is something that I’ve had on the back burner from for a long time. In the past I tried to do some digital cards, but this year I’ve plumped on the idea of making my very own Astro art card deck. I shall be working through this during Starztober in October 2025.

    Sharing My Process

    I’m just going to be sharing with you how I decided to work with these particular cards, the sizes I’m using, the papers I’m using and what you really need. I’ve always been a proponent of the adage that you have what you need already, you’ve just got to go and find your stuff. Further down this article I will be giving you the Starztober prompts and because it’s part of a card deck, it’s quite clear what we’re going to do. 

    Whereas usually, Inktober and Starztober, AHAtober and Pinktober prompts are only revealed to everyone on October the 1st.

    Creating an Astro Card Deck

    Method

    A fun way to learn astrology is by making yourself an astrology card deck. There are many ways to do this and I’m going to share with you my method of making astro cards. This is going to be my Starztober project for 2025. You can check out what I did in previous years to align with Inktober. You can also read one woman’s story about how she followed along with my art prompts and managed to win this challenge a few years ago.

    Astro Card Deck

    I plan to make an astro card deck during Starztober and I invite you to join me. That means that the prompts are going to be basic astrology terms to help us build our astro card deck to start with. During October, I will create thirty-one astro themed card to go in our astro card deck.

    November and Beyond

    This means that you can continue into November, December and well into next year, adding more cards that make sense, astrologically to you, into your card deck.

    Podcast Episodes

    You can listen to our recent Starzotober 2025 podcast (see below) and also go further back to last year to see how things have changed since then.

    Inktober Prompts

    Each year, the official Inktober prompts are published to inspire and guide artists throughout the month. These prompts consist of a list of 31 words, each assigned to a specific day in October, providing a daily theme or idea for the artwork. Artists can choose to follow the official prompts or create their own based on personal interests or specific themes they want to explore.

    Many artists and creators design their own unique prompts to align with their artistic focus or hobbies. For instance, the “Starztober” challenge is tailored for those who enjoy astrology, offering prompts related to astrological signs, celestial bodies, and other cosmic themes.

    The essence of Inktober is to create artworks using ink, which is why it is called Inktober and not Paintober. The medium encourages artists to explore the versatility of ink, whether through traditional pens and brushes or modern digital inking tools.

    Participants widely share their Inktober journey by posting their work and process drawings on social media platforms. This sharing not only helps them stay motivated but also connects them with a global community of artists participating in the challenge.

     

    #Starztober

    The hashtags #Inktober and #Inktober2025 (or the current year) help in finding and engaging with other artists’ work, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collective growth.

    Through the discipline of daily drawing and the support of an active community, Inktober becomes more than just an art challenge; it transforms into a creative festival celebrating artistic expression and improvement.

    The Inktober Challenge

    Inktober is a personal challenge where the goal is to create one ink drawing every day throughout the month of October. Successfully completing Inktober means producing thirty-one drawings by the end of the month. While many people begin the challenge, not everyone manages to see it through to the end which is something I can personally attest to.

    Inktober isn’t a competition against others; it’s a contest with yourself.

    Thirty-one Drawings in 31 Days

    The core question of Inktober is, “Can you create one new ink drawing every day for thirty-one days?” This daily commitment is the essence of the challenge.

    Completing all thirty-one drawings before the month ends means you have “won” Inktober. The victory lies not just in the quantity of drawings but in the discipline, creativity, and growth you experience along the way.

    Participating in Inktober pushes you to develop consistent creative habits, improve your drawing skills, and explore new ideas. Whether you follow the official prompts or create your own, the true reward is the sense of accomplishment and the impressive body of work you’ve created by month’s end.

    Previous Inktober Years

    In previous years, I’ve embarked on the Inktober journey but have never managed to complete it. Each attempt has been a learning experience, revealing both the challenges of maintaining daily creativity and the determination needed to see it through.

    This year, I feel more prepared and confident than ever before. My artistic skills have grown, and I have developed a stronger sense of discipline. I am truly up for the challenge of Inktober this time.

    Reflecting on past attempts, I see how far I’ve come as an artist. The experience has taught me the importance of persistence, creativity, and self-discipline. With these lessons in mind, I believe this year will be different. I’m excited to tackle the daily prompts, push my creative boundaries, and finally complete all thirty-one ink drawings.

    This year, I am ready to meet the Inktober challenge head-on and finish strong.

    My Art Blog

    Over on my art blog at Alison Hazel Art I have documented my previous attempts at Inktober.

    This is a space where I focus on meditative art and uplifting themes.

    There was an artist who completed AHAtober and you can read her story here.

    Starztober Prompts

    If you prefer to follow the traditional route, you can find this year’s official Inktober prompts here. These prompts provide a structured yet flexible framework for your daily ink drawings.

    However, as an aspiring artist with a passion for astrology, I’ve decided to create my own Inktober prompts this year, which I’m calling “Starztober.” Each prompt is inspired by fundamental concepts in astrology, from zodiac signs and planets to houses and aspects. This personalized approach allows me to blend my artistic endeavors with my interest in astrology.

    I have an exciting plan for my Starztober drawings: I intend to use them as the foundation for a coloring book, which I aim to publish next year. This project not only motivates me to complete all thirty-one drawings but also gives my Inktober efforts a meaningful purpose beyond the challenge itself.

    By integrating astrology into my Inktober experience, I hope to create a unique and engaging collection of artwork that resonates with both art enthusiasts and astrology lovers. Stay tuned as I embark on this creative journey, and look forward to the release of my coloring book next year!

    Materials

    You can do the classic pen-and-ink beloved of staunch Inktober and Starztober fans or move to an art medium that you are comfortable with each week.

    You may use:

    • Pencil
    • Pencil crayons
    • Markers
    • Watercolours
    • Acrylics
    • Oil paints

    It’s up to you.

    The idea is to get productive with astro related artworks.

    Drawing Inks and Supplies

    I recently started working with colored inks and I plan to use this medium in my Inktober challenge this year.

    The art supplies I’ll be using are:

    Cover Page

    Below is the inside cover page of my journal. I’ve clearly labeled it “Starzober: Inktober for Astrologers.”

    This title serves as a reminder of the purpose behind this creative journey.

    By dedicating this Inktober to self-care, I’m focusing on using art as a means to nurture my well-being and mental health.

    In years to come, when I look back at this journal, I will instantly recall the significance of this project.

    Each drawing will not only represent a step in my artistic growth but also a moment of personal reflection and self-care.

    This cover page sets the tone for the entire journal, emphasizing the blend of creativity and mindfulness that defines Starztober.

    Prompts Two-Page Spread

    On the next full two-page spread, I’ve carefully written out the complete list of Starztober prompts. The left-hand page features the prompts for October 1st through 16th, while the right-hand page lists prompts for October 17th through 31st. This layout allows me to quickly see the day’s prompt, making it easy to get straight into drawing, no matter where I am.

    Having this organized and accessible list is especially handy when I’m out and about with my Starztober journal. Whether I’m at a coffee shop, on my lunch break, or simply enjoying some downtime, I can refer to the prompts and start sketching right away.

    I plan to begin these sketches early in the day, setting a positive and productive tone. By drafting outlines whenever I have a spare moment, I will get steady progress and make the most of my creative time. This approach helps me stay on track and do the daily drawing challenge of Starztober.

    My Art Style and Process

    For my Starzober drawings, I will follow my usual pen and ink process, which begins with a detailed pencil sketch.

    This initial step helps me lay out the composition and ensure the proportions are accurate.

    I also plan to include a border around each drawing, typically 1 cm (about half an inch) wide, to give each piece a framed and finished look.

    Once the pencil sketch is complete, I’ll go over it with a black pen to create a clean, defined outline.

    This step brings the drawing to life and sets the stage for the next phase.

    Colored Inks

    After inking the outline, I will add color using colored inks.

    Depending on the effect I want to achieve, I may use pens for precise lines and details or a paintbrush for broader strokes and shading.

    This combination of techniques allows me to explore different textures and depths, enhancing the overall visual impact of each artwork.

    By following this structured process, I ensure that each Starztober drawing is carefully crafted and visually cohesive, while also allowing room for creativity and experimentation with color and form.

    What to Do with The Art You Create

    If you are a general astrologer, you may be asking yourself why do art? But I think if you’re in any way artistic and maybe you have a sketchbook already, then this would be an ideal art challenge for you. I do believe that creating art in this way, as a daily art practice, is a 6th House activity.

    Calendar

    You could choose the 12 best artworks that you create during Starztober and turn them into a calendar. You would use one image for each month of the year and so with a dozen pieces you could produce a calendar.

    Colouring Book

    One of my ideas with the Starztober images was to create a colouring book. This would be just the black ink lines and not coloured in. The idea would be that you would buy this colouring book and colour in these astrology themed artworks and this would be one way during Starztober and October for you to get a head start by creating 31 images to start with. Now 31 images are not enough for a colouring book, you need at least 52, but it would be a way to develop your daily art practice too. You can become more honed in, so that you actually are able to produce these images during this period.

    Astro Card Deck

    I’ve had an idea for many years to create an Astro card deck.

    Now of course I know there are many decks out there, but as an astro astrologer it’s always been one of my ideas to do so.

    And even in the past I have started with a few sketches because the actual dimensions of the images are slightly different.

    Over the years I’ve probably created eight to 10 images that would work for an astro Tarot deck, but I really haven’t gone further than that.

    During Starztober and October, it would be an idea to bring some focus and create a card deck that could be used later.

    The main challenge with this is that you generally need 72 cards and of course, during October you’ll only create 31, but it would kickstart your astro art practice if that was something you would be interested in doing.

    Wall Art.

    If you go through all your thirty-one drawings that you created, you may find one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

    The best one you drew.

    This will be an ideal piece to actually get blown up and printed at a professional printer so you could hang it on your astrology consulting office wall.

    Sketchbook

    Even if you don’t have any desire to somehow monetize the art that you’re creating through Starztober the actual fact of working through a sketchbook is very satisfying.

    Because your Starztober sketchbook for each year is an individual sketchbook wheew you’re not adding other artwork in there of bits and bobs.

    It stands as a testament to what you were doing and how you were feeling about both art and astrology during any particular year.

    I do look back on my previous attempts at Starztober and I do have one book from 2022 where I got quite far through this challenge.

    I will admit, I didn’t finish it, but every year as we come round to this time of the year and Autumn draws in, I feel that maybe this is the year because I do enjoy art.

    Perhaps you could give some thought into how you could re purpose your Starztober artworks this year.

    My Starztober Strategy

    My strategy for Starztober this year is designed to help me achieve several key goals:

    Complete the Challenge

    My primary aim is to successfully finish Inktober by completing all thirty-one drawings. This year, I’m determined to win by staying committed and consistent throughout the month.

    Personal Competition

    I plan to only compete with myself, focusing on personal growth and self-improvement rather than comparing my progress or artwork to others. This mindset will help me stay motivated and positive.

    Daily Drawing

    I will draw every day, dedicating time each day to create a new ink drawing based on the Starztober prompts. This daily practice will help me develop a strong artistic habit and improve my skills over time.

    Mastering Inks

    I propose to learn more about working with inks, experimenting with different techniques and tools. This exploration will expand my understanding of the medium and enhance my artistic versatility.

    By following this strategy, I aim to make the most of Starztober, creating a meaningful and enriching experience that fosters both my artistic and personal development.

    Extend Yourself: September

    1st September is when the official Inktober and Starztober prompts are published.

    This is often a highly anticipated day in the art world.

    Prompts Set

    Before you start you need to decide which prompts set you are going to use. This may come down to just how artistic and creative you are. Look to your 5th house for this.

    Decide whether to:

     

    • Use the official Inktober prompts.
    • Use the official Starzology 2024 prompts.
    • Create your own Inktober prompts.

     

    Inktober Journal Setup

    It helps to have your journal in hand and to set up the pages beforehand.

    You will need 31 pages for the actual artworks, but you can also use some pages at the front for a cover page and the full prompts list.

    In your Starztober 2024 journal please do the following:

     

    • On the first cover page write your name.
    • Write the year.
    • On the second double-page spread write the Starztober prompts list.
    • Get your art supplies to hand and be ready to start.

     

    Share

    If you are comfortable, share your artworks with the hashtags #inktober or with my two hashtags for this year #starztober and #starztober24.

    Extend Yourself Further: October

    October

    As October unfolds, we dive into the heart of the challenge. With all your art supplies ready and your sketchbook prepared for success, it’s time to bring your creativity to life through your artworks.

    • Start by drawing your first sketch based on the October 1st prompt.
    • Each day thereafter, continue sketching according to the daily prompts.
    • Allow your creativity to flow and your skills to grow with each artwork.

    Extend Yourself Even Further: November…

    November and Beyond

    If you find yourself falling behind, don’t be discouraged.

    Simply pick up where you left off and keep moving forward.

    Even if October comes to an end and you haven’t completed all thirty-one sketches, remember that the journey doesn’t have to stop there.

    You can continue into November and beyond, pushing yourself to finish the challenge by the solstice on December 31st.

    I’m here to support you throughout your Inktober journey.

    I’ll send reminders and encouragement via email throughout October to cheer you on and keep you motivated.

    Keep me updated on your progress.

    I’m excited to see your artistic journey unfold!

    Triple Division: Houses

    Triple Division: Houses

    Author: Alison Price   –   Published: January 2021

    Triple Division Houses

    The twelve houses can be divided into three groups.

    This is known as the triple division of the houses.

     

    There are Three Divisions

    • The first division
    • The second division
    • The third division
    triple-division

    Triple Divison Location

    In astrology, the first triple division originates from the point called the Ascendant, which marks the beginning of the first house in a birth chart. This division divides the astrological wheel into segments, with each segment containing four houses.

     

    Houses in Each Triple Division

    In each triple division, you’ll find four houses. These houses correspond to the twelve natural houses represented by the zodiac signs. The four houses within a triple division are always associated with one of each of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water.

     

    Elements and Houses

    1. Fire Houses: These houses are associated with action, passion, and enthusiasm.
    2. Earth Houses: These houses relate to practical matters, stability, and material concerns.
    3. Air Houses: These houses focus on communication, intellect, and social interactions.
    4. Water Houses: These houses deal with emotions, intuition, and deeper emotional connections.

    In each triple division, you’ll find a mix of these elemental energies, which adds a unique flavor or focus to that segment of the astrological chart.

     

    Triple Division Strength

    Triple divisions are strong when they contain five or more planets, or they are weak when they have no tenants.

    When assessing the strength or weakness of each triple division, you can count the planets within that segment.

    For this count, consider only the visible planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets are traditionally considered the most influential in astrology.

     

    Strong Triple Division

    If a segment has more planets from the visible seven, it indicates strength, vitality, and activity in the areas represented by that division.

     

    Balanced Triple Division

    An equal distribution of planets across the seven visible planets suggests a harmonious balance of energies in that division.

     

    Weak Triple Division

    A lack or absence of planets in a segment may indicate challenges or less focus in the areas governed by that division.

     

    First Triple Division: Me Divison

    The first division includes the first, second, third and fourth houses.

    It is the me division.

    Second Triple Division: We Division

    The second division includes the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth houses.

    It is the we division.

    Third Triple Division: They Division

    The third division includes the ninth, tenth eleventh and twelfth houses.

    It is the they division.

     

    By examining the planetary count in each triple division, you can gain insights into the dominant energies, challenges, or strengths in different areas of a person’s life as indicated by their birth chart. This method offers a structured way to understand the dynamics and energies at play within each segment of the astrological wheel.

    The great year refers to the orbit of the Sun and the planets in the solar system around the center of the galaxy. A great year is around 26000/24000 years. It is measured by the precession of the equinoxes. A great month is around 2160 years. We use 2000 as an average.

    The Milky Way

    The Milky Way is our home galaxy. It is between 150000 to 200000 light years across. The Milky Way is a barred spiral shape and we are on the Orion arm which is one of the “spokes” of the spiral.

    The Galactic Center

    The centre of the Milky Way galaxy is currently at 27° 07′ Sagittarius. The galactic centre wobbles slightly at around one degree in a century. It is thought there is a black hole in the area of the radio wave emission from “Sagittarius A.”

    The Last Glacial Period (Ice Age)

    We are going back in time to consider the astrological ages and starting just after the last Ice Age which occurred around +/- 11700 BCE.

     

    Precession of the Equinoxes

    The vernal equinox begins as the Sun, on its path known as the plane of the ecliptic, crosses the celestial equator moving north. When astrology evolved the constellations lined up with the zodiac signs.

    The Astrological Ages (Great Months)

    The Age of Leo: The Lion

    +/-10000 – 8000 BCE

    Humanity knows how to harness and control fire.

     

    The Age of Cancer: The Crab

    +/- 8000 – 6000 BCE

    The focus shifts to home and family. Prayer to the mother goddess. Early settlements were created. Home was established. Ovens were used to fire pottery began and durable bowls and containers came about. Food and protection became available. Invention of the wheel.

    The Age of Gemini: The Twins

    +/- 6000 – 4000 BCE

    Writing evolved. Communication between people, tribes developed and messages began. The wheel and wheelbarrow created the ability to barter and trade. People prayed to multiple gods. Cave art developed. Cuneiform writing began.

    The Age of Taurus: The Bull

    +/- 4000 – 2000 BCE

    Holy cow. Pyramids built. Thin tunnels inside the pyramids line up towards the pole star. When the three big pyramids at Giza were built the were lined up on the pole star.

    People began to understand how plant seeds worked and so seeds were harvested and planted. Agriculture became more available for everyone. Copper jewelry was made.

    The concept of money and coins developed. The ankh is the symbol for life in early Egypt and symbol of Venus and the ruler of Taurus. This word (ankh) and symbol (Venus) are built into many names of the day like Tutankhamen and Akhenaten.

    the-great-year-diagram

    The Age of Aries: The Ram

    +/- 2000 BCE – 0 AD

    Egypt and Rameses, I, II, and III the Sun God. Sacrificial lambs and goats. The Roman Empire and the evolution of body armour. Iron, weapons, war and gladiators become dominant. Rome ruled the known world.

    People prayed to multiple Gods. Discovery of concrete used to build bridges, viaducts, cities and to fortify city walls.

    The vernal equinox precesses and crosses the beginning of the zodiac. This is a sensitive point and suggest the biggest shift in attitudes. The calendar we use is restarted at year 1AD.

    The Age of Pisces: The Fish

    +/- 0 AD – 2000 AD

    A major epoch in world history. Christianity and the sign of the Fish was used to indicate a Christian within the community. The concepts of forgiveness, sacrifice and turning the other cheek and being a good Samaritan and not passing by on the other side, came in.

    Baptism with water was practiced. Organized religion, and after the invention of the printing press, the Bible, the Torah and the Quran became readily available. Generally, people prayed to one God. Astrologically, the dawning of the age of Aquarius began in the 1960s with the Moon landing and the Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo which challenged and opposed the sign of Pisces.

    The Age of Aquarius: The Water Bearer

    +/- 2000 – 4000 AD

    Uranus rules Aquarius. The harnessing and understanding electricity heralded the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Huge leaps in science and astronomy came in. The space program was another indication of the incoming age. Electric light, heat and quality of life improved for most people. The technology age, computers and the internet are symbols of the Age of Aquarius.

    The Age of Capricorn: The Sea Goat

    +/- 4000 – 6000 AD

    Wines and Signs

    Zodiac Pairings

    Wine and the zodiac actually have a lot in common. Both have elements that change over time and have seasons and situations in which they shine best. Each sign in the zodiac wheel compliments the others in a specific way, just as wines compliment different foods. There are already so many resources out there about how to pair food and wine. Today I’m going to do something a little different and tell you which wine compliments your zodiac sign and why.

     

    Fire Signs

    Aries and Petite Sirah

    Petite Sirah Profile

    Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
    Flavors:  Sugar Plum, Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Black Pepper, Black Tea

    Though it’s a common California wine, Petite Sirah comes from a French grape called “Peloursin”. This is a rare grape, with a very flavorful profile. This wine is popular for its bold, fruity flavors which contrast its dark red color.

     

    Aries Traits

    March 21 – April 19 | The Ram

    Strength: Bold, Honest, Determined, Confident
    Weakness: Aggressive, Impulsive, Moody, Impatient

    Aries is the first sign in the zodiac wheel. It falls under the Fire element. As the first sign, Aries is open to new opportunities. They move through life knowing that they’re leading the way for a new adventure, even if their adventures are short lived. As a fire sign, Aries tend to have bold emotions at all times. It is not unlike an Aries to show some tough love. To an Aries it means they are doing right by you. This blunt honesty is what makes them a loyal friend and lover.

     

    Petit Sirah Pairing

    Petite Sirah is full of aggressive sweet and bitter notes. Similar to Aries, who are bold in their own right, giving you a refreshing solution to a problem. Within all its powerful flavors, Petite Sirah is good for your health. The bitterness is an effect of the high level of tannins in this kind of wine. Like an Aries’ brutal honesty can leave a sour taste in your mouth, so can a Petite Sirah. Among its sweet notes of blueberries and sugar plums,  Petite Sirahs have the bitterness of dark chocolate and black pepper to spice things up. Life is never boring with an Aries, this flavorful wine pairing will not disappoint.


    Leo and Champagne

    Champagne Profile

    Style: Light Body, High Acidity, Intensely Dry
    Flavors: Citrus, Peach, White Cherry, Almond, Toasty

    Champagne comes in a variety of brut, dry, and sweet bodies with deep flavors that pair great with seafood or crunchy appetizers. You know Champagne as the world’s go-to bubbly used to celebrate special occasions like weddings, holidays, and Friday nights.

     

    Leo Traits

    July 23 – August 22 | The Lion
    Strength: Ambitious, Loyal, Generous, Enthusiastic, Leader
    Weakness: Egoistic, Lazy, Stubborn, Arrogant

    Out of all the Fire signs, Leos yearns most to make an impression. In fact, it’s their number one priority. Their personality is powerful and attractive making them hard to miss. As far as love languages go, this Fire sign is most fluent in Words of Affirmation. As much as they receive compliments, they’ll give them right back to you. Leo’s warm heart and eagerness to do well in everything they set out to do is what makes up their magnetic confidence and loyalty. However, if Leos are mistreated, they won’t hesitate to move on from what is making them unhappy.

     

    Champagne Pairing

    A Leo’s loyalty is unmatched so long as it’s reciprocated. They know what they deserve and will not budge. Fire signs need the proper attention to feel someone is worth the affection they are giving. When you don’t fulfill the needs of a Leo, their confidence dwindles. Just like a Champagne left unattended, that can’t help but go flat. Both Champagne and Leos can be dry or sweet depending on their style. Regardless of the details, there is no better pair to celebrate with than Leos and Champagne.

     


    Sagittarius and Malbec

    Malbec Notes

    Style: Full Body, Dry, Low Acidity, Low Tannin, High Alcohol
    Flavors: Red Plum, Blackberry, Vanilla, Tobacco, Cocoa

    Like many other wines, Malbec originated in France. However, most vineyards that produce this wine are in Argentina. Malbec has a deep and sweet full body bound to leave you wanting more. It’s cocoa and vanilla tones give this red wine a smooth finish every time.

    Sagittarius Traits

    November 22 – December 21 | The Archer
    Strength: Idealistic, Adventurous, Persistent, Optimistic, Romantic
    Weakness: Competitive, Impulsive, Impatient, Overachiever, Blunt

    Sagittarians are the social butterflies among the zodiac. They are known to be very positive and outgoing. They are always up for sharing information with others. As the Archer, they seek out as much knowledge as they can find. A Sagittarian’s curiosity is limitless especially regarding love, philosophy, and religion. They yearn to be free, therefore knowledge and adventure is what they pursue most. This can make them a bit stubborn, as they hate being told the can’t do something.

    Malbec Pairing

    Malbec is a fun and strong wine with strong notes of oak and black fruits. As the last of the Fire signs, Sagittarians can be as aggressive in their passion as they are in their truth-seeking. Unlike other wines, a Malbec’s finish does not last, and the same can be said with the adventures of a Sagittarius. Just like Aries, Sagittarians are very good at starting new ventures but are not the best as finishing them. Without looking back at how their last one ended, they’ll embark on a new one.

    wine-glasses-and-wine-bottle

    Earth Signs

    Taurus and Cabernet Sauvignon

    Cabernet Sauvignon Profile

    Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
    Flavors: Black Cherry, Black Currant, Baking Spices, Cedar

    Cabernet Sauvignon is among the safest choices when selecting a red wine. It has a strong full body with a balance of fruits and spices. This California wine is easy to pair with a variety of unexpected foods. Sure, red meat is an obvious pairing, but get yourself some dark chocolate with this wine, and you’ll be dreaming about it later.

    Taurus Traits

    April 20 – May 20 | The Bull
    Strength: Loyal, Dependable, Patient, Grounded
    Weakness: Possessive, Aggressive, Uncompromising

    Earth signs tend to do things to get rewarded. Taurus is no exception. People who fall under this sign will work hard for the benefits they earn. Along with their work ethic, a Taurus is dependable knowing that they will earn respect and other prizes. However, they know it’s a two-way street and remain aware that their work is ongoing. This is where their patience comes in. As hopeless of a romantic as they can be, a Taurus is always on the defense. You must first earn their trust before they feel safe giving you theirs in return.

    Cabernet Sauvignon Pairing

    Cabernet Sauvignon is a sensual red wine that you learn to love and trust – not unlike a Taurus. The sensual undertones of the wine’s flavor evoke black fruits and spices. These undertones are found in Taurians too, they’re one of the most sensual signs on the wheel. Both the sign and wine have a range of earthy flavors with a strong body, and dry style.


    Virgo and Chardonnay

    Chardonnay Notes

    Style: Full Body, Dry, Medium Acidity, High Alcohol, Little to No Tanning
    Flavors: Yellow Apple, Starfruit, Pineapple, Vanilla, Butter

    Chardonnay was originally harvested in large quantities in the Burgundy region of France. The variety of flavors a Chardonnay offers is not limited to the list above. When fermented and aged in oak, it develops spicy, almost bourbon-like notes, making it the rich white wine we love.

    Virgo Traits

    August 23 – September 22 | The Maiden
    Strength: Strong, Hardworking, Observant, Analytical, Sophisticated
    Weakness: Intense, Dominating, Perfectionist, Shy

    Virgos have a very practical way of making their plans. Like Taurus, this Earth sign doesn’t mind putting in the work, as they realize how the little things can add up to the big picture. Virgos are known to be the most sophisticated on the zodiac wheel. Both their work and honest advice are delivered clearly so that you won’t misunderstand what they mean. It is their graceful advice and willingness to help that make Virgos great friends.

    Chardonnay Pairing

    It takes a lot of dedication to make Chardonnay the elegant wine it is, much like the dedication Virgos put into their own craft. Virgos are sophisticated in the way they talk, work, and carry themselves. Some call it perfectionism, Virgos call it attention to detail. Virgos are loved for their ability to compliment all the other signs just as Chardonnays are loved for their versatility in food pairing.


    Capricorn and Sauvignon Blanc

    Sauvignon Blanc Profile

    Style: Light Body, Dry, Low Alcohol, Low Tannin, High Acidity
    Flavors: Gooseberry, Honeydew Melon, Grapefruit, White Peach, Passion Fruit

    It’s hard to confuse Sauvignon Blanc with other white wines (like Chardonnay). When compared, you’ll note Sauvignon Blanc is full of acidity and herbal flavors. This rich white wine is widely produced as the grape can be grown almost anywhere. The result, Sauvignon Blanc comes in a variety of ranges – from lean to bountiful.

    Capricorn Traits

    December 22 – January 19 | The Goat
    Strength: Responsible, Disciplined, Ambitious, Practical

    Weakness:Inability to be Wrong, Pessimistic, Unforgiving

    Capricorns will tell you they are the “Greatest Of All Time” or these days, G.O.A.T. This earth sign is a determined sign which doesn’t need to be asked to do what they know needs to be done. Along with their practical sense of duty, they always strive for success. Yet they are fully aware that their success will take time. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. That’s an Earth sign for you.

    Sauvignon Blanc Compatibility

    Capricorns are dry with their emotions, much like Sauvignon Blanc. This is due to a Capricorn’s view of the world and their diligent traits. Sauvignon Blanc is one-part fruits and one-part earthy notes matching Capricorn’s element perfectly.

    Air Signs

    Gemini and Bordeaux Blend

    Bordeaux Blend Profile

    Style: Full Body, High Tannin, High Alcohol, Medium Acidity, Dry
    Flavors: Black Currant, Black Cherry, Graphite, Chocolate, Dried Herbs

    A Bordeaux Blend is made up of grapes used for red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in addition to other grapes harvested within the same region of France. The uses of multiple grapes make this wine a sweet, dark, red blend with high tannins and a strong body. Perfect for red meat pairings with very little seasoning.

    Gemini Traits

    May 21 – June 20 | The Twins
    Strength: Intellectual, Versatile, Social, Cheerful
    Weakness: Gossipy, Indecisive, Superficial, Anxious

    Gemini is one of the signs that tends to earn a bad reputation. They have a two-faced stigma as their personality is ever changing. The reality is that Geminis are too smart for their own good. They can adapt to any environment they are in, and behave accordingly. Air elements will demonstrate an ease of going with the flow, and Gemini is no exception. Geminis also love to talk your ear off, but it’s hard to not enjoy a Gemini’s company. Their charm is contagious, and it’s almost impossible not to learn from them.

    Bordeaux Blend Compatibility

    Can you blame me for picking out a Blend for the Twins? Much like Bordeaux Blend is mixed to balance well, Geminis have their own mix. It should be said that as versatile as Geminis come, you never really know which Gemini you’ll get. Just as you never know which grapes are within the Bordeaux Blend you choose. Though the flavor of the wine varies in strengths (either sweet or citrusy), the wine stays true to its notes. As do Geminis to themselves.


    Libra and Moscato

    Moscato Profile

    Style: Light Body, Low Alcohol, Sweet, Low Acidity
    Flavors: Meyer Lemon, Mandarin Orange, Pear, Orange Blossom, Honeysuckle

    Moscatos are among the sweet white wines with fruity notes. Unlike the majority of the wines mentioned, Moscato is an Italian wine made with the Muscat Grape. There are different Moscato styles which include Bubbly, Still, Pink, Red, or Dessert Moscato. This wine can be made into several styles depending on which Muscat grape is used, and how.

    Libra Traits

    September 23 – October 21 | The Scales
    Strength: Fair, Charming, Diplomatic, Easy Going, Imaginative
    Weakness: Indecisive, Bad Temper, People Pleasers, Overthinker

    Libras are towards the center of the zodiac wheel, and you can see a noticeable change in the signs that follow. The first six signs of the zodiac focus more on their individual needs. While the signs that follow Libras care more about their impact on others. As the Scales, Libras constantly analyze if should they be kinder or harsher depending on how others treat them. This constant mental back and forth is what feeds their indecisiveness.

    Moscato Pairing

    Libras and Moscatos always leave a good impression. A Moscato wine is sweet and aromatic, while balanced with acidity and a mineral finish. Libras are all about finding and providing balance. Be it in work or relationships, they find comfort in harmony. Libras don’t care to change for most people. To do so, would tip the balance scale and would be unfair to their own desires. Though a Muscat grape can fit into any type of Moscato, the wine will always stay true to its flavor and body, no matter the color.


    Aquarius and Pinot Noir

    Pinot Noir Profile

    Style: Light Body, Dry, High Acidity, Low Tannins
    Flavors: Cherry, Raspberry, Hibiscus, Mushroom, Vanilla

    Pinot Noir is among the world’s favorite red wines. A bottle of light-red wine can be aged for up to 10 years, sometimes more. The aging process enriches the flavors making it all the more satisfying in color and taste.

    Aquarius Traits

    January 20 – February 18 | The Water Bearer

    Strength: Humanitarian, Intelligent, Independent, Loyal, Visionaries
    Weakness: Detached, Extremist, Aloof, Stubborn, Unpredictable

    An Aquarius showers us with their knowledge and ideas, as a Water Bearer showers people with their gift of water. This Air sign is all about making humanity great. They look to encourage others to do better because they see the world as a clock that runs on many gears. If one piece fails, the clock doesn’t work. They apply this philosophy to themselves as well – always trying to improve on their weaknesses.

    Pinot Noir Pairing

    Both Aquarians and Pinot Noir are dry, yet smooth. A Pinot Noir wine’s finish is smooth though its body is light with high acidity. In comparison, Aquarians are not ones to lead with emotions. They can be dry in their efforts to communicate how they feel. They believe their actions will speak for themselves. Just as an Aquarius is progressive, Pinot Noir is one of those wines that increase in finesse with age.

     

    Water Signs

    Cancer and Riesling

    Riesling Profile

    Style: Light Body, Little Tannins, High Acidity, Off-Dry, Low Alcohol
    Flavors: Lime, Green Apple, Beeswax, Jasmine, Petrol

    Rieslings are an aromatic white wine that was first produced in Germany, making it stand out from the French and California wine crowds. It was turned into a classic table wine for its ability to pair well with savory and sweet foods.

    Cancer Traits

    June 21 – July 22 | The Crab
    Strength: Kind, Creative, Family Oriented, Tough
    Weakness: Hot-Headed, Immature, Moody, Overthinkers, Emotional

    Cancer signs are deeply empathetic, as all water signs are. Cancers are driven by their nurturing needs and seek to have a family when all is said and done. Though they wear their hearts on their sleeve, Cancers aren’t weak. As the Crab, Cancers have a tough exterior and will be strong when they need to be, especially to protect their loved ones.

    Riesling Pairing

    There’s a sense of moodiness to both Cancers and Rieslings. While Cancers have a sweet demeanor, their temper is strong. Cancers are quick to react based on their emotions. Rieslings, too have plenty of strength. They can range from tasting really sweet to bone dry. The sweetness of a Riesling is controlled during the fermentation process. It’s not so much up to the grape’s nature as it is on the maker’s influence. Like a Cancer’s empathetic nature, which has a tendency of getting away from them.


    Scorpio and Merlot

    Merlot Profile

    Style: Full Body, Extra Dry, High Tannin, Medium Acidity, High Alcohol
    Flavors: Cherry, Plum, Chocolate, Bay Leaf, Vanilla

    Merlot is one of those wines that stand out in the crowd. It has vibrant black cherry flavors and great depth. Due to its complimenting flavors and chocolatey finish, Merlot is a wine can mix well with other full body wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon.

    Scorpio Traits

    October 22 – November 21 | The Scorpion
    Positive: Loyal, Passionate, Determined, Intuitive, Empathetic
    Negative: Secretive, Intense, Emotional, Jealous, Flirtatious

    Scorpios are one of the other signs that get a bad reputation. If you ask around, people will tell you that Scorpios are the most intense, but this is due to their passion. They hate small talk, for example, and would much rather just get to the point. A Scorpio’s keen sense of intuition is what helps them know if a person is lying, or being shady. They also know who is good and will be fiercely loyal with whom they trust. Break that trust, however, and it’s game over for whoever wronged them.

    Merlot Pairing

    A Merlot starts bitter (or intense, if you will) with sweet tones to finish it off. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss it the uniqueness of this full body wine. We can learn to appreciate a Scorpio, in the same way we appreciate a Merlot. Scorpio’s sweetness comes through in their passion and loyalty. To a Water sign like Scorpio, loyalty means never revealing secrets. This type of loyalty, along with their protective nature, is what makes them irreplaceable in friendships and love.


    Pisces and Rosé

    Rosé Notes

    Style: Light Body, Dry, Low Tannin
    Common Flavors: Lime, Cherry, Watermelon, Strawberry, Celery, Pepper

    Rosé is a wine that does not come from a specific grape. Instead, it can be made from a variety of grapes that are used to make fuller bodied wines. Grapes found in Rosé include, but are not limited to, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, and Grenaché. Contrary to popular belief, Rosé does not come from mixing wines. And though doing so is prohibited in many places, the region of Champagne, France is not one of them. Ergo, the Rosé Champagne we all know and love.

    Pisces Traits

    February 19 – March 20 | The Fish
    Strength: Artistic, Compassionate, Intuitive, Gentle
    Weakness: Fearful, Too Trusting, Head in the Clouds, Play the Victim

    Pisces is both the last Water sign of the bunch and the last sign in the zodiac wheel. Perhaps this order is what makes up Pisces traits, as they encompass a little from all the signs. Though Pisces like to keep to themselves, there’s no denying they are focused, selfless, and easy going. After all, they are the Fish of the wheel, so they just keep swimming. Like their Water sign companions, they are very empathetic and protective of their hearts. Their eagerness to make others happy can be taken advantage of. Knowing this, they will be kind, but never a pushover. They can tell people’s bad intentions from miles away.

    Rosé Pairing

    Just like a Rosé can be composed of a variety of grapes that come from other wines, a Pisces is shaped like their zodiac family. When hanging out with a Pisces, it’s never dull. Like with any Rosé you choose, it is always a fun and unique experience.

    The world has moved on, and in the digital creation arena is where I feel compelled to express myself. From my creator studio in downtown Vancouver, I enjoy expressing myself via the colourful creations I produce.

     

    Symbolic Language

    The language of astrology is created through the symbols and glyphs that are used in astrology charts. These complex shapes and sigils, when skillfully combined, will make sentences which ultimately tell a story. 

    Your personal astrology chart, and the symbols and patterns they contain, can help you explore the deeper meaning of your life through the symbolic language of astrology.

    When the symbols are in your chart, it will be the story of your life. This is exciting isn’t it?

    These symbols, or glyphs, convey meaning more than the actual shape. Glyphs have inherent properties that can be used to elevate your understanding of your life, and the world around you.

    In your chart the synergy effect is present. Now one plus one equals three, or the sum of the whole is greater than the parts. Powerful.

    I use traditional astrological glyphs in my artistic designs to bring them into mainstream consciousness for everyone.

     

    Night Sky Dreams Pattern

    We are but a small part of the huge universe. Many galaxies, stars and planets bring the positive energy of the universe to life. This is where life is lived to the full.

    The vast dark space between the stars is the negative energy. Between the two opposites of light and dark, or positive and negative, the universal energy is in balance and mathematically adds up to zero.

     

     

    My new “Night Sky Dreams” pattern is a piece that combines the sign symbols with other well-loved icons of the sky. 

    The deep purple background symbolizes the night, and the negative, as it contrasts sharply with the brilliant white light of life as shown by the stars.

    I avoided black to accent this piece by choice. I interpret purple as a secondary colour that is both rich and mysterious, without the connotation of a darker side of life which a midnight black shade implies.

     

    My Starz

    As an astrologer and artist I love what I do. For those of you who have supported me in the past thank you, and if you have just discover my creations, then welcome.

    If you enjoy my work please give me a “like” and follow me, so you know when I post a fresh new creation.

    Your Astrology Holy Trinity and Polarity

    Your Astrology Holy Trinity and Polarity

    Your Astrological Holy Trinity and Polarity

    This article will show you what next two steps to take after you know what is your Sun sign. A way to learn astrology.

    If you believe your Sun sign is not enough then this is for you.


    Sun Sign

    Perhaps you already know your Sun sign. It could be Aries, Cancer or Virgo etc. Your Sun sign depends on the date of your birthday. It is the zodiac sign which the Sun was in at the time and day you were born.

    Everyone’s Sun sign is the easiest thing to know in astrology.

    You will know your own, and your family’s birthdates, and probably your close friend’s birthdays as well. It is a simple step to ascertain everybody’s Sun sign.

    The Sun sign is the first nugget of information that all people know about astrology but, after that, what should you learn next?

     

    Ascendant Sign

    The second thing you need to learn is your Ascendant sign. This is likely to be different to your Sun sign although it could be the identical.

    You will only know your Ascendant sign if you cast your chart.

     

    Moon Sign

    The third fact you need to discover is your Moon sign. Again, you will have to cast your chart to find this out.

    Your Moon sign is likely to be in a different sign both to your Sun sign and even to your Ascendant sign, but it could be the same.

     

    Where to Get Your Birth Chart

    If you do not yet have a copy of your birth chart, there are three pieces of information that you will need.

    • Your birth time
    • Your birth date
    • Your birth place (the city and country)

    For quick information go here to calculate your chart.

     

    The Holy Trinity

    These three pieces of astrological information, your Ascendant sign, your Sun sign, and your Moon sign, are known as the holy trinity, the triad or the triumvirate of your chart.

    They are always listed in this order of importance; Ascendant, Sun, Moon (and yes, your ascendant is more important than your Sun).

    If you are an aspiring astrologer, and if you attend an astrology conference, you will be given a badge with your name. There will be a space for you to write the three main parts of your chart listed on it, your Ascendant, your Sun, and your Moon.

    For example, my top three or Holy Trinity would be listed as; Leo, Leo, Scorpio. This is because my Ascendant is in Leo, my Sun is in Leo, and my Moon is in Scorpio.

    Your Ascendant, Sun, and Moon can each be in any one of the twelve zodiac signs.

     

    Combinations

    Let us have a quick look at the numbers.

    The Ascendant has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs, the Sun has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs, and the Moon has the possibility of being in any one of the twelve signs.

    Therefore, 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728 possible combinations of Ascendant, Sun, and Moon.

    This detail is huge and speaks to the complexities that can be found within an astrology chart, but there is a simpler way.


    Polarity

    In astrology there are two polarities active and passive. They can also be referred to as masculine or feminine, or positive (+) or negative (-).

    The twelve zodiac signs are either in one polarity or the other.

    The active signs are; Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. The passive signs are; Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

    Let’s look at some examples of polarity.

    If you have your Ascendant in Aries, your Sun in Virgo and your Moon in Pisces your polarity converts to: active, passive, passive or (+, -, -).

    If you have an Aquarius ascendant (+), your Sun is in Gemini (+), and your Moon is in Libra (+), you are active (+, +, +).

    8 Combinations

    In the scenario of active and passive signs, as regards to your chart’s holy trinity, there are only eight possible combinations.

    The three are always listed in the sequence; Ascendant, Sun, Moon.

    The ratio is always active:passive (+ : – ).

     + + +             3:0       100% active

     + + –              2:1       More active than passive.

     + – +             2:1       More active than passive.

     – + +              2:1       More active than passive.

     – – +                1:2       More passive than active.

     – + –                1:2       More passive than active.

     + – –                1:2       More passive than active.

      – – –                0:3       100% passive.

     

    Some More Examples

    Ascendant       Sun                  Moon

    Libra               Gemini            Pisces               + + –

    Aquarius         Sagittarius       Virgo               + + –

    Leo                  Aries                Taurus            + + –

     

    They are 216 possible combinations that are active, active, passive (+, +, -), but only eight possible combinations.

    The use of polarity in the holy trinity of your chart is way to simplify what is a complex subject, astrology.

    Spend some time analyzing your family’s and friends charts to see polarity at work.

    Of course, there are many more interesting things about astrology charts that you could learn.

     

    Aspiring Astrologer Activity

    I love providing you with aspiring astrologer activities.

    This initiative is similar to “next steps” and the activities give you some ideas on what to do with the information you have just gathered.

     

    Step one:         Your Sun sign.

    Step two:         Your Ascendant sign.

    Step three:       Your Moon sign.

    Step four:        Write your polarity combination (Ascendant, Sun, Moon).

    Step five:        Holy trinity polarity (only eight possible combinations), (?, ?, ?).

    Make Your Own Astrology Wheel of Fortune

    Make Your Own Astrology Wheel of Fortune

    Wheel of Fortune

    Designing the Wheel of Fortune

    I used to teach a class about the real basics of astrology. This was a class for beginners with not even a whiff of technicality.

    I decided to create a visual aid to learning astrology that the students could make themselves and get to keep. I happiliy called it my “Wheel of Fortune.”

    This diagram was inspired by the birth chart and has the twelve signs on it.

    Template Creation for my Wheel of Fortune

    I created a template for one sign that fits on a letter size piece of paper which can be printed out. The student printed out 12 pages and started to color in and make notes on their Wheels of Fortune. 

    The beauty of this is that everyone had a similar wheel, but each one was unique.

    This wheel is made up of twelve “slices” just like the slices of a pizza. Each slice is 30° wide and therefore is exactly one zodiac sign.

    How to Construct Your Wheel

    • Print 12 sheets, so that’s one page for each sign.
    • Add your own keywords and notes to each sign.
    • Colour in as much as you like.
    • Cut the slice out leaving the tab on.
    • Carefully layout all the signs in the right order.

        Zodiac Signs in Order

        The signs in order anticlockwise are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

        • Tape the slices lightly at the front with small pieces of masking tape just to hold it.
        • Turn it over and magic tape the slices together.

          Note: Take your time as the slices can be tricky.

          • When completed glue the whole wheel onto a sheet of cardboard or Bristol board for support.
          • Cut with scissors and trim to 5mm to the edge of the circle.

            Hang Your Wheel of Fortune

            Hang the finished astrology wheel by a centre pin so that it can rotate, because you read each sign when it is at the bottom and the signs can be read from all around.

             

            How to Use the Wheel of Fortune

            You should place your wheel on the wall near your desk and where you do your astrology work. In this way, it becomes as inspiration and a memory jogger for when you forget things.  

            Remember to send me a photo of your completed wheel and I will publish it on this post later. There is no time limit. Enjoy being creative and learning at the same time.

            Keywords to Use

            Many astrology keywords are well known and you should add these to your wheel.

            When you discover a new word to describe the signs you can add them to your wheel. This is how you interpret astrology and not how I do, or the next guy does.

            Be your own astrologer and develop the art so that it speaks to you.

            Why stray from the true and tested keywords? Because we want to hear your voice coming through in your interpretations.

            If you ask ten artists to paint a picture of an apple they will all produce a painting that represents an apple. Maybe Picasso’s apple is a bit odd but it is still an apple how he sees it.

            It is the same with astrology. Every astrologer can read a chart, but each one brings their own flair to the reading. Your own words are important and this is why you need to develop your own words as well.

             

            How we Learn as Things Change

            Back in the day I was taught that the eighth house was to do with death. But I prefer to read it as a transformation either of the mind, body or the finances.

            Now, blood donors and blood donations (other people’s resources) are shown in your eighth house.

            Greek astrologers or even those in the last century may not have experienced blood donors (or had the ability to benefit from blood donation) but we have this today.

            It’s the same with Instagram and Facebook being in the eleventh house. Social media and being “friends” with others is an eleventh house thing. But ten years ago FB was unknown.

             

            Always Interpret in Your Own Words

            Yes, you need to use the usual keywords to start with as you learn astrology. It is the language of astrology. But as you develop your own astrological voice I urge to use your own words. This may take a while but I encourage you to take ownership of the astrology you do.

            If you want a cookie-cutter reading you can go to the internet and find a free site that prints preprinted pages of interpretations.

            But, if you want to be a good astrologer you need to do your own thing. Your own thing comes from the internal dynamics of your own chart.

            Be yourself. Don’t be just a human computer churning out information with no discernment for the value of what you produce, rather be yourself.

            Doodling

            When I attend lectures I often find myself doodling in the margins as the speaker talks and I thought about this for a while and at my workshops and lectures.

            When I taught every evening and four classes a week my students would come to class with their binders and stuff their notes from class into them. It occurred to me that they could do with a nice cover page for their binders so I created this page specifically to be colored in.

            Each student was able to do their own color combination and it became a component of the classes. So now I give each astrology class student or workshop attendee one of original astrology themed colouring pages.

            I want to share this with you now and offer you a free PDF download of one of my astro art pages.

            Astrology Binder Cover Page

            The idea is that you write your name in the space at the bottom and use this as the cover for your astrology binder (or file). If you are new to astrology you may not see the subtlety of the symbols peppered about this page but they will all be revealed as you learn about this exciting craft of astrology.

            If you are an aspiring astrologer then you probably have a few journals, files or binders where you keep all of your exciting astrology notes, class notes, snippets and information. There is so much to learn. I get it. It can be overwhelming at times. I have created a front cover for you to use for your astrology journal.

            All you have to do is download it and colour it in to your heart’s content. I’m calling these images and diagrams Astro Art and until I get a better name I’ll stick with that.

             

            How to Colour

            You can do felt pen, pen and ink, pastels or primaries. It’s up to you.vIf you like you can do more than one copy.Now you can always have something to doodle on when you find yourself in a long lecture.

             

            Share

            When you have completed your Astrology Art cover page please share it with us use the hashtag #starzart I can’t wait to see what you can do.

            This year I plan to have more images for you to color in and they are coming out soon, so get those crayons sharpened.

            An Introduction to Interpreting the Four Humours

            An Introduction to Interpreting the Four Humours

            This Guest Post is by UK astrologer James Hirlehey.


            An Introduction to Interpreting the Four Humours

            The four humours are the cornerstone of reading a chart for the health and well-being of the native, as well as determining their character and temperament from a more traditional perspective. This article will introduce the four humours and will give you some suggestions for your own study and research.

            What are the four humours?

            Most people have heard of the four humours in the context of Ancient Greek philosophy. They are generally taught as being related to bodily fluids in the following way:

            • Sanguine – blood
            • Choleric – yellow bile
            • Melancholic – black bile
            • Phlegmatic – phlegm

            Later, an astrological student might learn that sanguine relates to the element air, choleric relates to fire, melancholic relates to earth, and phlegmatic relates to water. Then, if you study further, you might learn about temperament in the context of general personality traits of each of these humours.

            Temperament and humours are far more intricate than this, however, and they form the foundation for Western Astrology.

            The two polarities

            The four humours are based on two polarities, hot/cold and wet/dry. The hot/cold polarity is rather straightforward. It relates to literal heat and coolness, but it also relates to activity level. Hot is active and busy, and cold is passive and calm. The wet/dry polarity is a little more complicated. It has to do with unity and separation. Wet connects and brings things together, and dry separates them and creates distinctions.

            The correspondence between the humours, elements, and polarities is as follows:

            • Sanguine – Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – hot and wet
            • Choleric – Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – hot and dry
            • Melancholic – Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) – cold and dry
            • Phlegmatic – Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) – cold and wet

             How the four humours were used historically

            Before the 17th Century, the humours provided the structure by which astrology and medicine were practiced. When interpreting a Natal Chart, the astrologer would determine the temperament of the native, or that person’s natural balance between the polarities. Any medical or dietary advice would take into account the individual’s natural temperament as well as the apparent imbalance that could be determined by symptoms and by the chart that was cast to diagnose the patient. 

            The animals and plants that are used as food or medicine also have temperament. The way foods or plants are prepared can alter their temperament. For example, cooking heats food, baking dries it, and boiling moistens it. Different activities also alter temperament as well. For example, most exercise is heating, and rest is cooling. 

            Other applications of temperament

            The principle of temperament also has application to the seasons, planets, and phases of the Moon. The temperament of the seasons is:

            • Spring (Aries, Taurus, Gemini) – hot and wet
            • Summer (Cancer, Leo, Virgo) – hot and dry
            • Autumn (Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius) – cold and dry
            • Winter (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) – cold and wet

            The sign correspondences with the seasons are based on the Northern Hemisphere. It could be that these sign correspondences are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a topic that is wide open for astrological research.

            The planetary temperament correspondences are not uniform in traditional sources. In William Lilly’s Christian Astrology, they are listed as follows:

            • Saturn – melancholic, cold and dry
            • Jupiter – sanguine, hot and wet
            • Mars – choleric, hot and dry
            • The Sun – hot and dry
            • Venus – phlegm with blood, temperately cold and wet
            • Mercury – variable according to the other planets nearby, but alone, melancholic, cold and dry
            • The Moon – phlegmatic, cold and wet

            The temperament of the phases of the Moon are as follows:

            • New Moon to 1st Quarter Moon – hot and wet
            • 1st Quarter Moon to Full Moon – hot and dry
            • Full Moon to 3rd Quarter Moon – cold and dry
            • 3rd Quarter Moon to New Moon – cold and wet

            Incorporating the Four Humours in Chart Interpretation

            The easiest way to begin incorporating the four humours is to use the two polarities to take the temperature of the chart, as it were. There are various methods for calculating temperament, but a very simple approach is to just count the planets by element. 

            We can try this with the chart of the famous celebrity and talk show host, Oprah Winfrey:

             

            Every astrologer needs to decide for themselves what planets and chart points to use, but for this example, let’s use the Traditional Planets, the Ascendant and the Midheaven.

            • Sun – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
            • Moon – Sagittarius (Fire), hot and dry
            • Mercury – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
            • Venus – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
            • Mars – Scorpio (Water), cold and wet
            • Jupiter – Gemini (Air), hot and wet
            • Saturn – Scorpio (Water), cold and wet
            • Ascendant – Virgo (Earth), cold and dry
            • Midheaven – Gemini (Air), hot and wet

            By a simple count, we have 6 hot/3 cold, 7 wet/2 dry. By this count, Oprah Winfrey is hot, meaning she likes to be busy and active. Hot people also tend to be more extroverted than cold people. She is also very wet. This means that she tends to see how things and people are alike, and that she likes to bring people together. 

            As you are experimenting with temperament, you can try adding other things into the mix and see what happens. For example, you may want to add in the season of the Sun, the phase or the Moon, and the Part of Fortune. If you do that, you get:

            • Season – Winter, cold and wet
            • Phase of Moon – 3rd Quarter, cold and wet
            • Part of Fortune – Scorpio, water, cold and wet

            Adding these three into the mix would make her even in the hot/cold polarity 6/6 and even more wet with a score of 11/2.

            If you want to study and experiment further, there are many other formulas that have been used for calculating temperament in the astrological tradition. As an aspiring astrologer, it is good practice to play with different planets and chart points, and perhaps try different formulas to see what seems to yield the most accurate results for you.

            When experimenting with new techniques, the best practice is to start with your own chart, as you know the most about yourself. Then branch out to look at the charts of people you know well, like your friends and family. This way you can see for yourself if the four humours are useful to you in interpreting a chart, 

            Conclusion

            In this article, we have looked at the four humours and the principles behind them. We have also looked at how they were used historically and have given suggestions for how to begin to incorporate them into your own chart analyses. Hopefully, this will give you the tools you need to start experimenting with the four humours on your own.

            Creating Good Habits with The Moon: 30 Day Drawing Challenge

            Creating Good Habits with The Moon: 30 Day Drawing Challenge

            by Alison Price


            Creativity

            In astrology, your habits are closely realted to the Moon.

            As the Moon passes through your birth chart it transits every house and forms every possible aspect to all of your planets.

            Because of the Moon’s natural abilities, everything is sensed and instinctively known. You just have to pay attention.

            Habits

            To break a bad habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth or one month.

            By the same token, to build a good habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth, or 30 days, give or take a whisker.

            30 Day Drawing Challenge

            Thus is born the 30 Day Challenge. All new habits can be established if they are practiced every day for 30 days.

            I talk about the five components to live a satisfying life which are; love, money, wellbeing, vision and creativity.

            I have taken up a creative project, and I will be doing a new sketch, or drawing,  every day for 30 days. You can join me if you like.

            New habits that you begin are better supported, and more dynamic, when started at a New Moon, or a solar eclipse, like the one that occurred on August 11th, which spurred me into action as it was conjoined my Sun.

            You can practice New Moon Wishing in line with your birth chart to support your creative new habits.

            I will post my progress here. Tag your creations with #starz30 so we can see your beauties. “The 30 Day Drawing Challenge”

            Please share this with anyone who needs to see it.

            Have a prosperous day,

            Day 1

            Vancouver Art Gallery - Day 1

            The Vancouver Art Gallery from the steps of Robson Square, downtown Vancouver.


            I take a photo just to show you. I complete the drawing at the location.

            The buildings were a bit wobbly and the trees were hard to draw, but hopefully, I will get better over the next 29 days.


            Day 2

            The giant pandas outside the Marriott Parq Hotel in Vancouver.

            This piece is named “Slow” by Chinese artist Zhang Huan. This sculpture is in stainless steel and is highly polished.

            Huan’s pandas are “meant to eulogize eternal maternity and family while expressing expectations of a future, and expresses the artist’s understanding of human nature and his thoughts on love and eternity.” 

            This drawing was quite a challenge to do in pen and ink. There is about 50 shades of grey.

            On a side note, I need to get another pen as this one seems to have run out of ink.

            Day 2 of the 30 Day Drawing Challenge over. Roll on the next twenty-eight.

            Day 3

            Sunset Beach

            This is the view across Sunset beach in Vancouver. Looking towards the west.

            There were three main bands of color.

            From the top down, the sky a hazy grey/blue due to lots of forest fire smoke, the sea which had more bands of dark blue and green within it, and the sand which was beige and grey, or greige, in the footsteps of the bathers.

            Beachcombing was great and we collected many shells which we will use as mulch in the little plant pots in our apartment..


            Day 4

            The waterfall and rill in my local Emery Barnes park in Vancouver.

            This was the first year for ages that they have had water flowing in the city parks due to recent water shortages.

            The water itself was difficult to capture and somehow the falling water is not quite right, but I think the general image is ok.

            Day 5

            What is to come…



            moon-mother-food

            The Opposition Aspect

            The Opposition Aspect

            The circle divided by two. 360°/2 = 180°

            Same polarity

            Planets in opposition are usually in the same polarity.

            The opposition can be disassociate if one planet is in an active sign and the other in a passive sign.

            Opposition Aspect Meaning

            Projection

            The opposition is an aspect of projection between the self and the other.

            This aspect tends to flip-flop between holding a stance in the principle of the first planet and then standing on the other side looking back from the viewpoint of the second planet.

            Resistance

            It is an aspect that causes resistance between the two planets.

            Difficult

            It can be difficult, and this aspect needs work to integrate the energies.

            Strives for equilibrium

            The person will strive for equilibrium within the boundaries of the energies shown by the planets.

            Disown

            The individual may very well disown the opposite first from one side and then from the other.

            Frustrating

            It can be frustrating to be constantly alternating the viewpoint.


             

            Oppositions to Other Planets

            Sun oppositions create much tension and stress in life.

            Moon oppositions make emotional reactions the default response to challenges.

            Mercury oppositions result in arguments and verbal conflict and mental stress.

            Venus oppositions suggest romance and financial affairs are very difficult to stabilize.

            Mars oppositions create general resistance and an abrasive attitude.

            Jupiter oppositions grow big problems and need opportunities for resolution to stabilize.

            Saturn oppositions can stonewall the individual so they cannot get past the issue.

            Uranus oppositions make the individual contentious and uncompromising for others.

            Neptune oppositions develop escapist attitudes when the tension rises and coping is hard.

            Pluto oppositions can be very difficult to find a resolution, they may be the main theme of the life.

             


             

            The Square Aspect

            The Square Aspect

            by Alison Price

            The Square Aspect

            The circle divided by four. 360°/4 = 90°

            Same Mode

            Planets in square aspect to one another are usually in the same mode.

            More about the modes.

            Read The Modes at the Movies.

            Disassociate square

            A disassociate square is found when the planets are in different modes.

            For instance, the Sun at 29° Virgo and the Moon at 3° Cancer finds them still square but in different modes, the Sun in mutable and the Moon in the cardinal mode.

            Square aspect meaning

            Internal dilemmas

            Two planets in a square aspect face internal dilemmas.

            Difficult conflict

            It can be difficult to work with the energies for the individual.

            Active

            The individual continuously attempts to address the issues but sometimes it is hard to define the actual conflict.

            Resistance

            The square offers resistance between the two and tension is present.

            Unease

            It is an aspect of unease where on-going change and constant attention is required to the two planets involved by the person.

            Squares with other planets

            Sun squares create stress.

            Moon squares feel difficult.

            Mercury squares make indecisiveness.

            Venus squares attract unease.

            Mars squares add much tension.

            Jupiter squares grow awkwardness.

            Saturn squares severely restrict.

            Uranus squares can be unpredictable.

            Neptune squares create internal confusion.

            Pluto squares can be very difficult to manage.
