Seasonal Synastry

Sun sign synastry is as simple and as complex as the seasons. The seasons are about change and they’re about presence.

On Not Being a Stereotypical Sagittarius

Maybe you’re a Sagittarius and you’re paranoid about desire. You’re paranoid about the question of whether your dreams will come true or not.

The Third House

For those of us who are burdened with the task of translation (and, with it, treason), for those of us who must translate our own bodies, the third house is not about conducting measured rituals with store bought products. It’s about the terror of the body and becoming familiar with that terror until it is no longer normalized.

Interview with a Leo: OHYUNG

OHYUNG is a musician and composer who works with nostalgia and catharsis.

Clients in their cars

Not everyone is safe enough to get an astrology reading at home.

The Second House

When I talk to people about their second houses, we talk about addiction, about recovery, about power struggles, about feeling owned by the ways in which you seek to break free from someone, and about the fear of loss.

Educational Privilege and Public Shaming

We’ve seen other forms of protest get co-opted by power—from direct action to representation to satire. Power greenwashes, pinkwashes, and tokenizes. Why not call outs? Of course call outs can get co-opted.

The First House

The first house is where Saturn aspires towards Mercury. It’s where incarnation aspires towards change.

November 2021 Horoscopes

It’s time that you stopped being so available to everything and anyone.

The Jupiter Opposition During Your First Saturn Return

I’ve found that a lot of the things that we typically associate with a first Saturn return, which we don’t typically associate with a second Saturn return, are actually about the Jupiter opposition.

Domicile Planet Burnout

Domicile planets are like gifted children. They have all that they need but their own sheer potential terrifies them.

On Not Being a Stereotypical Scorpio

You see, Scorpio is about refusal more than anything else—not availability, sexual or otherwise. Learning how to be a Scorpio is about learning what you have the ability to refuse and, if you don’t, how you might earn your refusal.

Irreverence and Astrology

So, there is room in astrology for the worshippers, for the satirists, for the painters, for the psychologists, for the ritual makers, and for the deconstructionists. There is room in astrology for God—but, I question whether there is room in astrology for God fearing.

Pisces North Node, Virgo South Node

Pisces north node is terrified of their pain. They tell themselves that it does not really exist, that it is useless, that it is unimportant, and that life is able to go on without this recognition of hurt.

Metafiction and Anger

Emotions are metafictional, which means that we talk about them as if they are real but also like they do not have to be real. Emotions are metafictional, which means that we find them when we tell stories from our own perspective.

The Astrology of Hunter X Hunter

When we meet Hisoka, he is actually going through his Saturn return. He is twenty eight at the beginning of the show and we watch him grow into his thirties.

Aquarius North Node, Leo South Node

Leo south node is used to trying to be a good kid. It is used to thinking that, if they could only be a good enough kid, that they would be safe.

October 2021 Horoscopes

The first time that you honor someone’s death anniversary is as awkward as a first impression. You have no idea how your physical body will react.

On Not Being A Stereotypical Libra

The idea that Libras are stereotyped to be people pleasers, I think, is a misnomer. Libras are not stereotyped as people pleasers. Libras are stereotyped to be pleasers of men. They are thought of to be brilliant but not too brilliant, to be demure but not too demure, to be rational but not too rational, and to always be pretty.

Planets in Fall

Planets in fall are sarcastic. They’re satirical. They can be funny but they don’t have to be. They understand tragedy.

How We Treat The Planets

I’ve noticed that we allow Saturn to reign over us as we allow no planet to reign over us. We ask ourselves and each other, during our Saturn returns or squares or maybe just when Saturn is transiting over an angular house, “What does Saturn want from me?”
