There are several areas in traditional, personality-centered astrology that are most important for us to discuss in relationship to the Moon.  These are: the area of instinctive response to events (especially in regards to one’s basic physical and emotional survival); the psychological roots and subjective patterns upon which we build out life (the “psychological foundation stone”); what we have inherited through our family genes in a personal sense and through our racial or ethnic background in a more general sense (our “biological karma”); and finally, our relationship with our mother, the female aspect of ourselves and with women in general (the “anima” principle).  To this we add another factor, one that is applicable more to soul-centered astrology.  The position by sign and house in the natal chart reveals to the esoteric astrologer that area in life from which we need to detach.  What’s more, through the p

I presented what I believe to be a very important article in the Virgo issue of As Above, So Below. This is a detailed description of the long-lasting square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. It will serve as an introduction to the brief comments which introduce the “Celestial Happenings” for this month.

I am sure however, that many if not all of the implications of these words are also applicable in a more global sense.
