A lot of people are reluctant when it comes to astrology. They don’t quite “get it”. Or, even worse, they “don’t really believe in it”. By lack of scientific evidence, of course. And yet, people are doing a lot of things without the slightest scientific evidence. And they’re doing them every day. Did you know [...]
One of the most fascinating planets, at least for me, is Pluto. Ruler of decay and rebirth, master of my solar sign (Scorpio, that is) and one of the most powerful change agents in the Universe. Whenever Pluto hits a spot in your life, that spot won’t be the same again. Everything it touches, it [...]
We’re starting to add content a little bit more frequently to AstrologyBits, which, by the way, is something that I enjoy a lot. I just hope you do too. This is just a short announcement to let you know that I’ve added 2 new sections to the site: Astrological Signs and Astrological Houses. In the [...]
It’s official, as of today, Saturn enters Libra. There were some signs of this activity even a few days before (something to be expected when we observe big planets transits) but mathematically speaking, it’s only today that Saturn enters Libra. How this will affect us? I have no “one size fits all” answer to this, [...]
Starting October 30th, Saturn will enter Libra, after almost 2 and a half years spent in Virgo. As any other Saturn movements, this transit will be a major one. I’m not going to talk about it, though, as I am still pondering my how’s and when’s, but I’ll give my Saturn in Virgo experience. It [...]
Whenever a planet is facing another planet, being then at 180 degrees for each other in the zodiac circle, with a reasonable tolerance (called “orb”) we are dealing with a special aspect, called opposition. Traditional astrology still uses a very polarized atitude towards aspects: there are good aspects, like trine, sextile and conjunction (not all [...]
One thing that really surprised me while learning astrology was the Mercury behavior in the natal chart. There is something strange about natal Mercury and that is the fact that you can’t really perceive it. Mercury is your thinking mind and you’re perceiving the world with your mind. This puts a veil on your Mercury [...]
These are exciting times! We’re going through a major opposition, between Saturn and Uranus. I wish I could explain it better than this small video, but I really can’t. It’s the first video of twitter user @kathybiehl a fresh and enjoyable voice speaking about astrology. Some key points in the movie: Saturn represents the status-quo [...]
Many people misunderstand Saturn. Traditional astrology used this good / bad planet dichotomy in order to describe planets and somehow, this dichotomy passed to modern astrologers too. Nothing is good or bad in itself. Everything is a function of your consciousness. Among all the bad planets, Saturn has the reputation of being the worse. If [...]
Mercury represents intelligence, thoughts, mind activity. It also deals with money, commerce and travel. When retrograde, interesting things happens… Many people think retrogradation is something dangeroous. Even ancient atrology still states pretty often that retrogradation is a state of aggression and peril. In my experience, this is not true. In fact, in my experience, retrogradation [...]
