Dear reader Note: The following is mature age content. Parental guidance is advisable. In the search for meaning, I have discovered something very beautiful which I wish to share here with you. In ancient tarot, there is a two of cups which has some very mystical symbology in it. I read the tarot very closely and divine its messages, usually to find clarity, for my querents. One of my querents recently, happened to be a Sun ruled Leo. The lion, represented in the card two of cups came up with an interesting twist. This one has wings. And underneath the winged Lion Lamassu , we find the Caduceus, which has two snakes, coiling upwards with a sword or a wand between them. Further, we see in a foreground, two youthful persons, one of each gender, a girl and boy, cheering with two cups, one each in hand. What is also noteworthy is they wear the wreaths of olive leaves and the boy seems to be handing something over to the girl's outstretched hand. in the background, we see a hill,...

Dear Reader I start with apologies to the North Node in Leo, since I bring you a somewhat late update, and since I'm an astrologer and I tend to live in the future, would you kindly find it in you to forgive me? Mercury is riling everyone up, getting their hands to turn into quills and pens, flowing forth with great ideas, conversations and much inspiration to carve out from the self, a greater selfhood. I'm a great fan of Johnny Depp, whose birthday it is on 9th June. I haven't looked at his chart yet, but I derive a lot of inspiration from his work and he's a fine example of the craftsmanship attitudes of Geminis.  Before I proceed into all the juicy gossip flowing out from an eternally chatty Gemini, let me remind you that the moon calendars we have been working on which combine ancient Vedic and modern western astrology are out. It's a great privilege to be a student- learner in the Sagittarius archetype scrolling through such works as the Surya Siddhan...

Dear Reader The houses, in astrology are a matter of great significance, as you would know by now. While the signs that occupy the houses are also of importance, here, we capture some amazing information about all the houses, combining sources from both western and vedic traditions. In astrology, all the charts are divided into 12 equal houses. Each house, numbering from 1 to 12 have a significance associated with them. Often, growing up, I remember being very disinterested in mathematics and geometry. I remember thinking, once I grew up and could understand concepts in more depth, that it would have been nice if someone had explained the circles of geometry by using examples of the movement of the Sun, the shape of planets and so on. Perhaps this is happening now in schools, perhaps kids in the future will relate to what seems so abstract and unrelated to life in a much much more interesting way. There are various methods of drawing the houses of a birth chart or an event cha...
