Mountains of Grief, a Gorgeous View (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we stand in the center as the pillar that holds the scales of light and dark. Tomorrow, one side tips in the favor of darkness. Welcome to this Fall Equinox, welcome to this Autumnal descent, and welcome to Libra Season. This moment brings with it it’s own kind of new year. This is where the astrological year splits in half, we exit the realm of the personal/topical zodiac seasons (Aries-Virgo) and we begin zooming out to the social/deepened zodiac seasons (Libra-Pisces). This next chapter
When Research Enters the Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In mid-August I published a piece titled The Observatory that Outlived the King, about Ulugh Beg. The Timurid Period Sultan who’s most notably known for his astronomical and architectural feats. That piece is swollen with giddy research.

It’s ruled by Mercury like Gemini but the distinction is the approach. This is where systems, structures, and methodology become heavier with importance. Virgo is concerned about what a system can actually hold and sustain.It reminds me of PEMDAS, the Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally / Order of Operations we learned in grade school maths. Applied here, it sustains the

Read excerpt
I decode land for a living from a distance. Rarely standing on most of it. Someone books a session and I translate what a place miles away is asking of them, what it’ll hand them, what it requires in return. I’ve never needed to visit a client’s astrocartography line to know what it means. My relationship with the elementals and land spirits is one I’ve built over years and it’s the mycelium of my entire practice. That’s not a workaround.
