Presented here are the natal charts of twins born in Belgium, with a 20-minute interval between their births, one labeled retarded, the other one normal. Source: Astrodatabank, entries No. 11259 and 11260. Not sure exactly what is meant by retarded here. Let's assume that it shows difficulties in de...

Interesting article by Anthony Louis. I have seen in charts where the Topocentric Moon (in mundo) in midpoints is better describing the person's life than the Moon (in zodiaco). "In Tetrabiblos, Book 1,24 Ptolemy says that for conjunctions we need to consider the latitudes. Domitude refers to t...

Nick Bostrom published this paper "The Vulnerable World Hypothesis" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1758-5899.12718 On the morning of 12 September 1933, Leo Szilard was reading the newspaper when he came upon a report of an address recently delivered by the distinguished L...

Researchers are sounding the alarm: some advanced artificial intelligences are showing troubling behaviors—straight out of science fiction, but very real. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2025/07/31/quand-lintelligence-artificielle-ment-ou-manigance--voici-5-exemples-de-comportements-reels-qui-font...

Thanks Astralwanderer for pointing out the background cycles as a reminder of where we are coming from. Another one worth mentioning here is the Uranus-Pluto cycle started in the 60's around 19 Virgo and which is currently at 0 Aries (World Point). Richard Tarnas has written extensively about this o...

Interesting video from Kenneth Bowser. Thanks for sharing James. I am surprised that he did not use Fixed stars in his delineation since one of his book deals with this aspect of astrology. This current combination of Pluto, Neptune and Uranus - midpoint wise - can be read as "Sudden commencing...

Sounds great Wei! As astrologers, we are translators. We interpret the sky. The disappearance of the profession of translator seems far from utopian. The translation program at the University of Ottawa in Canada was recently suspended, and the one at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia has b...

David Cochrane wrote an article on Grand Sextiles in Modern Times https://www.astrosoftware.com/cpnew/a_and_v/grand_sextiles.html He says: "A grand sextile pattern is also often referred to as a Star of David pattern. A grand sextile pattern occurs when 6 planets are placed in 60 degree angles ...

Misho,

Not mitigating but "mutually disagreeing or rejecting".

Nice discovery! Thanks for the link. "I dare say that the line that I draw with my feet in order to go to the museum is more important than the lines that one finds on the actual paintings hanging in the museum. And I take endless satisfaction in seeing that this line is never straight, nor, ho...

I did not know about Zairja. Thanks for the link to the thread. You say "the Arabic Astrologers who used the Zairja may be the progenitors of the computer automation systems of today and the Expert Systems under current development." I don't know much about it but it is in the range of pos...
