The Psyche, Numerology and the Tarot: A Psychological Reading Method
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This reading template and methodology were developed by me using a colleague’s translation of psychologist John Beebe’s archetypal model into tarot. In adapting it to my own analytical style, I made some changes to apply personal preferences, knowledge and experience. The matrix of Major Arcana cards supports a randomly-drawn four-card reading that will…...
Domestic Utility Crisis in New England: A Horary Perspective
With the threat of a price-and-availibilty crunch looming in the domestic utility market in New England during the Winter of 2022/23, I performed a horary chart using John Halloran’s AstolDeluxe Report Writer and the Regiomontanus house system as recommended by horary master John Frawley. New England has already suffered a dramatic escalation in home heating…...
The “Mystic Gyroscope” Developmental Insight Spread
Here is a tarot spread designed around two astrological themes: a clockwise cycle that follows the diurnal motion of the Sun, and a counterclockwise revolution that emulates its annual progress through the zodiac. (This rotational offset inspired the “gyroscope” metaphor.) It is read in four sets of four cards each, the “History” (or Inactive Past)…...
What Happened to John? – A Horary Perspective
On July 6, 2022, 79-year-old “John” (who has dementia) went missing from his New Hampshire home and has not been seen since. A Silver Alert was issued by New Hampshire State Police at the time. I performed a tarot reading about this situation on October 19th, but horary astrology can offer a different perspective so…...
Lunar Month Look-Ahead for World Events (November 2022)
Not long ago I was asked whether my New-Moon-based “Lunar Month Look-Ahead” spread (link below) can be used to predict world events in addition to personal circumstances. I responded that I didn’t see why not, but decided to test it myself. This reading has no regional or national focus, and is simply a high-level, wide-angle…...
A 2022 U.S. Congressional Election “Majority” Forecast, Part 1
Here is the first installment of a two-part projection regarding which one of the major U.S political parties will gain (or in the case of the Democrats, retain) “majority rule” in both houses of the U.S. Congress during the mid-term election in November. Part 1 is a horary astrology “event chart” cast for the very…...
Celtic Cross: The Right Tool for the Job
As is probably obvious from the examples I’ve posted on my divination blog, I’m a big fan of the well-thought-out positional tarot spread. I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum from the “I never use formal spreads!” crowd and slightly to the conservative side of those who say they make unique spreads on-the-fly to…...
Rectification: Adjusting an Unknown Birth Time for a Natal Horoscope
I occasionally see people asking online how they can come up with a reliable birth chart when they have no time of birth, precise or otherwise. A legitimate time is crucial to establishing the astrological “framework” (house divisions and associated planetary placements) for the horoscope. While it is often possible to obtain an officially “timed”…...
Sarah Palin’s Political Reboot: A Horary Perspective
The mainstream media has recently been reporting on the attempt by Sarah Palin to rekindle her faded political fortunes in the national arena. You may remember her as a former governor of Alaska and Vice-Presidential nominee alongside John McCain. She is presently in the fray to replace deceased Alaskan Congressman Don Young for the remainder…...
