Lunar Nodes
Lunar Nodes offer an interesting perspective on a chart’s inner workings and a person’s destiny.

THE FIXED STARS: A Beginner’s Journey

RENT: Resonance, Recurrence, Repetition and Amplification
One of the fascinating aspects of Astrology is the concept of resonance, recurrence, repetition and amplification. When aspect configurations in a natal chart are triggered by similar patterns in the sky, the chart seems to vibrate and come alive.
