  • The Closing Concerto

    Our hypothetical summer evening with the Cosmic Philharmonic comes to a close. We witnessed how the virtuosi tuned their instruments as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto tightened their Minor Grand Trine while exerting personal influence on us through Mercury and Venus. Sun and Moon had what we called a pseudo-feral new moon in Gemini that encouraged…

  • The Masterful Symphony

    In keeping with the musical theme of the last two articles, this lunation would correspond to a beautiful symphony where the entire orchestra plays together as one. While symphonies are typically composed of four movements: fast, slow, dance-like and a fast finale, the third “movement” of the upcoming lunisolar cycle, the full moon, will be…

Probably the most famous bagatelle is Beethoven’s No. 25 in A minor, titled “Für Elise” (“For Elise”), composed around 1810 but…

In our “Indiana Jones” analogy, the February 20 Saturn–Neptune conjunction moved a boulder that had kept us from reaching the air-centric world, exposing a passageway we must begin to…
