The Sinking of the Ferry FILOJET
On 30 August 2026, the Cypriot high-speed passenger ferry FILOJET departed the port of Kyrenia (Girne) in northern Cyprus, bound for Taşucu on the southern coast of Turkey. AIS tracking places the vessel’s departure at approximately 11:58 a.m. local time, rather than the later 12:30 time initially reported in some news accounts; the chart below…

Mercury Under Cover & The Astrology of Stolen Treasure
Last week, on the eve of a near-total Lunar Eclipse, Mercury vanished into the Sun. Moving through Virgo, the planet entered combustion, rendering it invisible, burned out by a brilliance greater than its own. In traditional astrology, the state of combustion obscures agency. What the planet signifies becomes hard to see, overwhelmed rather than absent.…

Virgo I: The Harvester
The First Decan of Virgo marks a profound transition in the zodiacal journey. Having passed through the fullness and generosity of Leo, consciousness now turns from an outward demonstration of vigour, towards stewardship. The question is no longer how life may be enjoyed, but how it may be tended so that its blessings endure.

Leo III: The Feast Lord
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the king who went out into the wilderness in lion skins, who crossed the waters of death and asked the oldest question a grieving creature can ask- What survives? What endures? Where does the beloved go? Can the loss be undone?- returned to his city with that question unanswered in…

Leo II: The Noble Archer
The unknown land this decan governs is not simply a geographical unknown but an existential one, beyond the boundary of what the traveller has previously understood about loss, about love, about the self that continues when what it most loved has gone. Jupiter’s enlarging influence within the Sun’s own kingdom does not promise that this…

Leave the Moon Alone!
The launch chart tells its own rather pointed little story, taking place on the day of Mars, in the hour of the Moon. The figure rises with 2 degrees of Scorpio, a sign, and a ruler, entirely fitting for a rocket, and also nodding vigorously to Mars rulership over falcons as a species; the whole…

When the Lights Go Dark-Eclipses and the Fate of Nations
Within the traditional doctrine of mundane astrology, eclipses occupy a position of exceptional importance, not because they are regarded as inherently destructive, but because they signify periods during which the ordinary order of nature is temporarily interrupted. Both Claudius Ptolemy and Abū Maʿshar regarded eclipses as celestial indicators whose effects are directed principally towards kingdoms,…

The Lions Den: The South Node in Leo July 2026-March 2028
Modern astrology has tended to soften Leo into a symbol of confidence, creativity and personal expression. The older traditions paint a more demanding picture. They remind us that the lion is first and foremost a creature of appetite. He seeks dominion, territory and recognition. At his highest he becomes the courageous guardian, the ruler who…

Cancer III- The Protector
This is the territory of Cancer III, where the Moon inhabits her own sign, in her own face and finds no moderating influence, no planetary guest to introduce a foreign quality, only herself, distilled into the purest expression of what she has always been, the guardian of life at its most vulnerable, the force that…

Cancer II-The Remembrancer
There is a second movement in the deep waters of Cancer that follows the disoriented tenderness of its first decan the way story follows experience, not immediately, not while the encounter is still raw and present and without edges, but in the quieter hours after, when the heart, having registered what it loves, begins the…
