The Horary Difference

Horary astrology is different, and its distinction - as well as its charm - lies in its economy of expression. As a psychological astrologer doing natal horoscopes back in the '70s, I prided myself on the thoroughness of my chart delineation. I didn't have a computer early on and it was not unusual for a …

A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although this horary forecast is scheduled to appear in a future issue of the online AstroLogic magazine, I wanted to present it here first since I'm working on Part 2 and didn't want to wind up in a "cart > horse" situation when I publish it. The success of my Sarah Palin prediction …

“Where, Oh Where, Is My . . .”

A Reasonable Assumption

As regular readers of this blog know, I'm not an advocate of remote tarot reading of any kind although, with COVID keeping me away from "live" divination venues for the foreseeable future, I've been doing a few of them by email. The thought struck me that useful parallels might be drawn between the conventions of …

Carpe Momentum!

Recently, on the Tarot Professionals Facebook page, Marcus Katz mentioned the aphorism "The oracular moment is sacrosanct."

In keeping with John Frawley's recommendation, I used the Regiomontanus house system. A quick disclaimer: there is no reason to believe that my work is any …

Where Is George? – A Horary Update

I have been asked by the group that continues to search for George Cross (a Berlin, NH man who has been missing since last September) whether I have any new insights into his whereabouts.

An Astro-Tarot Location Method

When dealing with lost items or missing persons, I often default to horary astrology because of its proven effectiveness. But I'm always looking for ways to augment that approach with tarot.
