Over the years that I’ve been following planetary movements through the signs, it’s been fascinating to see what sorts of historical changes happen around those times when the slow-moving planets first move into new zodiacal signs – a process astrologers call ‘ingresses’.

Some films entertain. Others change the world. Even people who look down on Star Wars as childish or ridden with clichés must still recognize that it struck a chord as few films ever had before. Now, almost half a century after the premiere of the first film in the series, retroactively titled A New Hope, its characters remain cultural archetypes, and the vocabulary it created has entered the collective dictionary.
The 27 Club is a notional list of musicians, artists or actors who died at age twenty seven, often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse, or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents. Originally, the deaths of several twenty-seven-yearold musicians, namely Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and James Morrison from The Doors between 1969 and 1971 led to popular supposition that deaths are more common at this age.
In this extract from Erin Sullivan’s reissued book Where in the World? the rectification tool of Astro*Carto*Graphy is applied to the disputed chart of Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. Is Libra or Sagittarius the rising sign? The author reaches a surprising conclusion. This essay is part of a seminar given in 1997 shortly after the princess’ death and includes audience interaction.
Beyond Mars and before Jupiter we find the 1000’s of asteroids that circulate between them. Yet the largest of them all and the 1st to be discovered in 1901 was Ceres. In 2006, Ceres was reclassified as a dwarf planet in the same group as Pluto, Eris and others and is now very much considered part of our planetary pantheon. So, too, we include her here for our next inspiration for Cosmic Cooking.
Forty-six years ago, Chiron was discovered by Astronomer Charles Kowal on November 1, 1977. Kowal timed the discovery to “A few minutes before 10 am." The chart was rectified by astrologers Zane Stein and Al H. Morrison to 9:56 am in Pasadena, California. Chiron is in mid-Aries at the 2023 December Solstice, about 7° from the True North Node, a conjunction that perfects on Feb 19, 2024.
In the same way that cinema can be merely either for pleasure or education, do we listen to astrology for mere entertainment, draining our emotions or perhaps to better understand the deeper pathways of possibility beyond that of our conscious sensory awareness? The intention of our astrology is a personal choice, but there exists a deeper, more evolutionary transition beyond that of the ego.
Search "astrology" in Psychology Today or any other mainstream clinical magazine and you will find pages of scathing articles claiming its relationship to narcissism and lack of scientific legitimacy in general. It would come as no surprise for anyone to think that many in the scientific community would likely align with this critical position as well.
The Natal Chart is the tool we use to work "with ourselves," to "understand ourselves better," to feel more "inner" fulfillment through the recognition of lights and shadows, and potentials. This is absolutely necessary. However, it is no longer sufficient. Inner work is fundamental to the development of healthy bonds with others, with the environment, and with life. The personal process must be integrated into the global process, which is collective.
