Thomas Gazis: Mundane Astrology

Author: Arwynne O’Neill – Updated: March 2026

Mundane Astrology

In this interview, Arwynne and Greek astrologer Thomas Gazis turn their attention to mundane astrology, the branch of astrology that studies world events and historical cycles.

Mundane Astrology

Thomas Gazis

Gazis explains that his approach has been shaped by influential thinkers like Dane Rudhyar and Richard Tarnas, while also drawing on his own decades of observation.

He describes the zodiac a “universal horoscope,” where planetary movements through the signs reflect shifts in collective human experience.

In particular, he emphasizes the significance of outer planets moving through the final quadrant of the zodiac—Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces—the transpersonal or societal signs.

Podcast Episode

Listen to our podcast episode with Arwynne and Thomas.

Pluto

Gazis shares his long-standing concern about the implications of Pluto’s movement through these signs.

While many astrologers have celebrated Pluto’s entry into Aquarius as a symbol of innovation and democratic progress, Gazis argues that the mythological underworld which is Pluto’s realm will be a powerful influence through the lens of Aquarius.

In this light, Pluto in Aquarius will intensify these darker collective dynamics, including technological warfare, social upheaval, and heightened global tension.

Planetary Resonance Cycles

A major theme of this discussion is the idea of planetary resonance cycles, particularly a roughly 500-year pattern in which several outer planets return to similar zodiacal positions.

Gazis notes striking parallels between current planetary placements and those present in the early 16th century, when European colonial expansion began reshaping the world.

He interprets this resonance as a signal that Europe may now be entering a period of cultural and geopolitical decline.

Historical Parallels

Throughout this conversation, Gazis illustrates how studying historical parallels in planetary cycles can help astrologers anticipate major collective developments—from global conflicts to shifting centers of cultural power.

Interview: Mark Winters

Interview: Mark Winters

Discover the astrology chart of mathematician, poet and musician Mark Winters from Texas in the United States, as explored by Arwynne O’Neill from Starzology.

Mark Winters

In this episode of the Starzology podcast, I spoke with musician Mark Winters, whose unusual path to music began in the world of engineering and physics.

Interestingly, Mark first discovered the Starzology podcast through an AI-generated recommendation list while on tour, when he’s always on the lookout for new and different things to keep his mind engaged.

Origin Story

Mark originally trained in aerospace engineering and worked extensively with computational fluid dynamics and advanced mathematics. Although science came naturally to him, creativity was never far away.

As a child he was influenced by both sides of his family. His grandmother wrote poetry and painted impressionistic landscapes, while his grandfather was an electrical engineer who also created detailed pen-and-ink drawings.

The Call of Music

Mark’s musical journey began unexpectedly in 2011 when he decided to learn guitar as a surprise anniversary gift for his wife. Performing a song for her proved to be a transformative moment that sparked what he describes as an “obsession” with music.

Since then, he has fully embraced songwriting and performance, even completing two major tours last year that included 120 shows and roughly 20,000 miles of travel on each tour.

Chart Details

The chart details for Mark’s chart, if you’d like to cast his chart for yourself and follow along are:

Birthtime: 11am
Birth date: November 16th, 1984
Birth place: New Orleans, USA

This returns an Ascendant at 26°08′ Capricorn.

The Astrology of Songwriting

Mars 1st House

During our conversation, we explored how Mark’s chart reflects this blend of discipline and creativity. With Capricorn rising and Mars in the first house, he has a determined, self-directed drive.

Moon Leo

His Leo Moon in the seventh house speaks to his joy in performing and sharing music with others. Several planets in the eleventh house, including Neptune, Uranus and Venus in Sagittarius, suggest collaboration, community, and an expansive artistic outlook fueled by social connection.

Mercury conjoined Uranus

Mercury conjunct Uranus illustrates his flashes of creative insight, while Venus conjunct Jupiter in the twelfth housereflects his tendency to develop artistic ideas privately before sharing them.

Mark also described his songwriting process, which blends analytical thinking with intuition. Free writing, vocal training and poetic lyric development help him balance the scientist and artist within him.

Podcast Episode

Listen to the full interview with Arwynne and Mark on the Starzology Astrology podcast.

Until Next Time

Mark is inspired by the symbolism in his chart, so don’t be surprised if you see a song in his future that highlights these creative aspects.

Sun Square Neptune

Author: Arwynne O’Neill – Published: June 2024

Sun square Neptune

Aspect Basics Series

Today we’re going to be talking about the Sun square Neptune. This is part of our basic aspect series.

We are going to be seeing this transit exact on June 20, 2024 with the Sun at 29 Gemini Square Neptune at 29 Pisces but we’re going to focus on what it looks like in someone’s natal chart and give some celebrity examples and it’s relevant regardless of when you’re listening because this aspect occurs twice every year. For the last few years, it has occurred in mid-June and mid-December.

Sun square Neptune in the natal chart

In her book Aspects and Personality, Karen Haymaker Zondag says, “The dream and fantasy world so typical of Neptune comes to the fore with this aspect. Inferiority feelings are not uncommon. The sources for this inferiority include Neptune’s habit of fudging boundary lines, which make it hard for us to see where our ego begins and ends or to discover who we are and what we want. The second is a nagging feeling that there’s something more, a feeling that another world lies beyond the world of perception and that our individual limitations are in sharp contrast to it.”

Spiritual Seeker

This person may be a spiritual seeker, with little interest in the real world, taking refuge in ideas and feelings or continually searching until they find an ideal that meets their emotional needs. There can be a lack of responsibility or grounding, but also a great deal of creativity, especially in music, poetry and other forms of wordplay, ideas, mysticism and metaphysics. These people can be incredibly eloquent and convincing, so they should be very clear within their own minds about their intentions, as they could potentially use their gifts to deceive and lead other people astray.

Sensitive

This is a very sensitive aspect, and this person often has to overcome insecurity and disappointments to build their self-esteem and confidence in order to feel strong. They can easily become confused, paranoid or dependent on drugs or alcohol if these dynamics are not dealt with in more productive ways. They should be cautious about chemicals, alcohol, drugs and medical treatments, and they may be susceptible to illnesses that defy explanation or diagnosis.

They may also fall victim to stronger personalities, people who try to take advantage of them or dominate them, like gurus or con artists. Although idealistic, life experiences can make it hard for these people to stand up for themselves, possibly because of their insecurity but also because they idealize other people and may find it hard to believe that others are not trustworthy or truly mean them ill.

They can be very altruistic and may be attracted to politics, volunteerism or activism, if they don’t become disillusioned. Spirituality can be used for good or ill; the darker realms of religious cults and political demagogues should to be avoided.

Honesty

People with this aspect are urged to be as honest and direct as possible because Neptune can blur your intentions whether you mean to be dishonest or not. This is amazing for creativity, music, writing, etc., but can be challenging when it comes to dealing honestly with others, promoting yourself or pursuing your own goals. There may be a feeling of insecurity, guilt or the desire to apologize; over idealizing others and being gullible can lead to disappointment.

Sun square Neptune by transit

Your energy level can be lowered to the point where your immune system suffers or you may feel discouraged and beaten down by circumstances. This is not a great confidence boosting transit. You may feel inadequate and consumed by the futility of pursuing your goals.

Put off anything that requires clear thinking until this transit passes. It can stimulate idealism which can be great if you’re trying to produce something creative or beautiful but don’t be discouraged if what you create doesn’t match your ideal vision.
