Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune, by Chris Brennan. Amor Fati Publications, Denver, Colorado. 670 pages, paper. $48.00. As astrology began to blossom in the West in the 20th Century, it was no secret that a Greek, Ptolemy, had quite a lot to do with early astrology. The Greek contribution to astrology, however, was a bit like Mark Twain’s thought about the weather: everyone talked about it, but no one ever did anything about it. At least not until the 1990s, when astrologers Robert Schmidt and Rob Hand, working under the name Project Hindsight, began producing English translations of ancient works from Greek and Latin. It was an exciting time, and the findings from Schmidt’s Greek translations were particularly intriguing. The two translators eventually went their separate ways,…

Not long after finishing last month’s column, which was focused on certain planetary combinations that coincided with two notable current events, I came across an opinion piece in the New York Times that seemed to fit both the theme and the astrological pattern mentioned in that column. The column itself had to do with aspects that cover the end of September and the beginning of October 2018, a time during which, first, Democrats undertook a protracted and ultimately unsuccessful struggle to prevent Supreme Court appointee Brett Kavanaugh from making it onto the court; and, second, U.S. based journalist Jamal Khashoggi (born October 13, 1958) was trapped in a Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, tortured, brutally murdered, and then butchered into pieces, which are unlikely to be found, ever. All of…

This year a long-awaited conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (your solar 11th house) comes close enough to get your attention, and thus will become an important part of your astrological picture in November. The effect of these two working together will be to strengthen your resolve about meeting the long-term goals you have set for yourself in various areas of your life. They will help you aim for objectives that are based on factual realities rather than hopefulness and wishes. As a gentle preliminary to Saturn’s one-time conjunction with Pluto on January 12, 2020 (toward the end of your forecast year), it will form a sextile to your ruling planet, Neptune, on January 31, June 18, and November 8 of 2019, gently nudging your sometimes-far-reaching imagination in a…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Change your image. Professional recognition can be yours if you work toward that goal, Taurus.

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Sharing moments. This week’s activities include sharing special moments with the one you love, Leo. Venus enters your solar 7th on the 1st, so no matter how busy you are, make time for a relaxing evening with your significant other or close friend. That may include an intimate dinner or a night on the town. Give the one you love the attention he or she deserves. 9th-16th: Real quality time. With Mars in your solar 10th forming a trine to Saturn in your solar 6th on the 14th, it will continue to be challenging to spend quality time with people you love. Work is exciting and demanding and you may be forced to work overtime. Remember to pace yourself so you can keep your weekends free…

If you are single, plan an evening out with special friends, and talk over old times. 9th-16th: Change of scene.

Even if you cannot get your colleagues to look at things your way, you will leave them…

At this time of year, college basketball fans are captives of their TV screens and smart phones, as they absorb the ups and downs of their favorite teams. Astrology fans, on the other hand, know that the real madness this March is found up in the sky, as Mercury goes retrograde once more. “The Real March Madness” explains how this particular Mercury retrograde will be just a bit different from the others, but also adds some depth to this event with examples of people actually born with a “backwards” Mercury. You probably understand your own sign pretty well, but then again maybe you don’t if you have missed out on the detail that an ancient astrological tool called a decanate can bring to the area of the zodiac associated with…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2019 reduces to 3 (2+0+1+9=12=3), a number that is associated with socializing, traveling, and working with others. This is the year to meet and network with people who will advance your professional life and enrich your personal experiences. If you are naturally extroverted, this year will be right up your alley. If you are normally withdrawn or insecure, this is the time to come out of your shell. It will be worth the effort. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Uranus-7 vibrations may…

Because the Sun will remain in Pisces for about two-thirds of the month, and because Pisces sometimes concerns itself with the great spiritual world instead of the world of particulars and such that deserve at least some of a columnist’s attention, I present a numbered list, the better to keep things in order here on paper as we deal with the great and magnificently confusing cosmological flux. 1. When the Sun moves into Aries on March 20, we move into spring in the Northern Hemisphere, so we can exult in the incrementally warming weather as we find places in our closets to stuff our winter clothing. Because those in the Southern Hemisphere have been mocking the rest of us these many months, dancing in the sun while we shivered in…

Gather people you trust so you can move forward with a plan of action. 9th-16th: A beneficial partnership. The Sun in your solar 10th forms a sextile to Pluto in your solar 8th, on the 13th, so forming a profitable partnership may take you on a productive path. This could involve investing in real estate, expanding your portfolio, or starting a retail business. Run your ideas by close friends and family; their feedback will be invaluable. 17th-23rd: Unique self-expression. The…

YOUR MARCH GUIDE 1st-8th: Agree to disagree. Improving your personal and professional relationships will be high on your priority list, Virgo. On the 6th, the New Moon falls in your relationship sector (solar 7th) so think of this as a new chapter in the way you communicate with those who are important to you.

On the 9th, when the Sun in your solar 7th forms a sextile to Saturn in your solar 5th, continue to work on improving your communication with those closest to you.

If you are a regular user of a feature called “Your Personal Day Key,” found each month on page 13 of this magazine, you already have a head start on the subject of this article. Take a look at the explanation at the top of that page in the issue you’re reading now, and you’ll notice the dates it gives are based “on the Moon’s relationship to your Sun sign and decanate of birth.” A “decanate” is a special way of dividing up the 30 degrees of a zodiac sign into three smaller divisions of 10 degrees each, so the “Day Key” feature allows us to give a more detailed view of how the Moon’s quickly changing position affects you each day, based on your date of birth. In a…

Astrologically speaking, it’s always important when one of the outer planets moves into a different sign of the zodiac. On March 6, Uranus, the Awakener, as this planet is often called, begins a seven-year stay in Taurus. Uranus represents originality, independence, eccentricity, and sudden, unexpected changes. Uranus is said to be in its “fall” in Taurus. Many astrologers believe that a planet in fall is weakened, and that the energies it represents are distorted dramatically. The last time Uranus was in Taurus was between 1934 and 1942, which included a period of financial instability. The house that holds transiting Uranus shows where you are likely to break with tradition, act independently, or think creatively. During this transit, your personal freedom is especially important in the affected area of your life.…
