As loyal readers know, eclipses are the most powerful energizers in astrology. I usually begin an eclipse analysis about three months prior to its occurrence because the general rule is that Solar Eclipses begin to heat up the degrees in the zodiac about 90 days in advance. An example from last spring, however, demonstrates that this time span is simply a guideline.
On April 7, 2017, transiting Mars squared the degree that it would hold at the time of the Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017—more than four months earlier. It was on April 6, less than 24 hours prior to that transit being exact, that the United States launched a missile attack against Syria. (Thanks to United Kingdom astrologer Andy Pancholi for pointing this out.)
Here is a list of the five eclipses in 2018.
We will analyze the first two of them. The degrees of these eclipses energize those of the eclipses that occurred last August. This is the basis for the Jayne/Johndro concept of eclipse chains, a process by which one eclipse ignites a prior eclipse. The current case is a simple example of this process. The Lunar Eclipse at 11º Leo will oppose the August 7, 2017, at 15º Aquarius. The Solar Eclipse of February 15, 2018, at 27º Aquarius opposes the 29º Leo eclipse of August 21, 2017. These eclipses are likely to reawaken themes that were symbolized by the August eclipses, extending them likely to the latter part of 2018.
There are three basic approaches to analyzing an eclipse. First, one can scan batches of horoscopes to determine which are being aspected by the eclipse. Second, one can examine the path of the eclipse and its associated Astro*Carto*Graphy (ACG) map. Third, the astrologer can trace the Saros cycle back 18, 36, and 54 years or further.
The Lunar Eclipse of January 31, 2018, is conjunct the asteroid Ceres within only two minutes of arc. Mars in the eclipse chart is on the MC through mid-America, but so is Jupiter. Mars is on the IC through China and central Russia. The eclipse is 105 degrees from Uranus, 135º from Chiron, and 150º from Neptune. The Solar Eclipse of February 15, 2018, will be conjunct Mercury and Juno and square the Uranian planet Admetus. This Solar Eclipse is on the IC through Russia and through the Middle East centering in Saudi Arabia.

Your Astrological Guide To Getting Organized!
Sometimes, working at home as a writer, I feel overwhelmed by pieces of paper, large and small. The same is true of pens and reference books. When the stacks are tall enough to cast shadows, I grow claustrophobic and flee to the public library. There I can work in a spacious, orderly, and ideal if somewhat sterile world.

Question: Which dorm mate should I choose?Date: July 23, 2017Time: 10:24:00 A.M. E.D.T.Place: West Hartford, CTThis question came from my client’s daughter who is beginning her first year of college and will live on campus. She asked: “I have a dorm room at the college I will attend this fall. Two of my girlfriends are also attending the same college. They both want to room with me, but I can only take one as a roommate. Which one should I choose?”I asked her which friend requested to room with her first. This a very important question because it establishes the houses that rule each friend.
Soul - Centered Astrology - Scorpio: Sign Of Death But The Key To A Better Life
As we awaken to the realization of the need to align ourselves to the reality of the Soul (and aid and counsel others toward this same orientation), we seek out ways to implement a greater measure of the Will-to-Good into our lives. One of these is an attitude of self-acceptance in that we do not consistently judge ourselves. Instead, we strive to observe what in us resists and inhibits a greater flowering of goodwill both in ourselves and in others. Often this is based on a sense of separation from life manifesting in ego-centricity and projected expectations of behavior both on the part of others as well as ourselves. Giving ourselves up to the sense of the One while at the same time actively doing our part in the One Work is fundamental to the reduction of stress and the implementation of Joy in our lives.
Enhance Your Resume With Astrology
If you just aren’t happy in your job and you are beginning a search for a new position, your resumé is a powerful vehicle for getting you that all-important initial interview. Astrology can help you to identify the best things to say about yourself, aside from the details of education, experience, publications, and professional memberships.

The Titan Prometheus was a pretty arrogant fellow in my view. According to Greek myth, he stole the fire of knowledge from the gods, hidden in a fennel stalk, to give to humanity for our enlightenment. Did he consult any humans beforehand to see if we wanted such a double-edged gift? To the best of my knowledge, he did not. He thought he knew best. For this blatant act of hubris—i.e., thinking you are as smart as the gods—he was savagely punished by Zeus, their king. You probably know the story, but it bears repeating just to remind us that hubris is not a good idea. Chained to a rock, Prometheus had his liver pecked out by an eagle on a daily basis; it regrew overnight—the punishment never ended.
Why Do People Run for Office?
There is no group more maligned by the American people than politicians, which is odd when we consider that politicians and politics are a natural byproduct of the democracy of which we are so proud. If you want to avoid politicians currying your favor and promising you things they can’t deliver, perhaps you should go live under a dictatorship. There the leaders just tell you what to do.
Christmas And Soul - Centered Gifts For The Signs
The search for self—the process of individuation—is not a fad. Certainly, there are processes, weekend intensives, and specialized spiritual products and programs that come and go. We could say that there are a number of outer forms for the search for self that are indeed trendy, glamorous, and faddish, but that is the nature of all forms of social popularity in general. The essential search for the key to the expansion of consciousness and the resultant transformations in our attitudes and lifestyles are certainly not faddish. There is a Path, and that Path is the Goal; our job is getting There, and I assure you that there is a “There” to get to.—AO

Does Astrology Deny Free Will?
A criticism commonly leveled against astrology involves the thorny issue of free will. If our lives are somehow influenced or even predetermined by the stars, the argument goes, doesn’t that mean we have no real choice, that we’re little more than puppets of an overarching cosmic fate?

When an actor plays a role, his true nature is rarely seen, for his character is defined by the screenplay and the director.
