What does it actually mean when a planet is strong? And how do we avoid confusing planetary strength with human goodness?
FATED CROSSINGS ASTROLOGY
The future is knowable.
Relationships, careers, difficult decisions, unexpected changes. Life presents questions that deserve more than general advice. I use astrology to examine your particular circumstances, understand their timing, and help you see what may lie ahead.
Explore ConsultationsAstrology as inquiry
Fated Crossings approaches astrology as a natural philosophy — a way of understanding time, pattern and human experience within a larger, meaningful whole.
My philosophy“Astrology is a language of the relationship between the human and the more-than-human, between finite lives and the vast order of things.”

From a pattern to an interpretation
In 1964, 22-year-old Cassius Clay—soon to be known as Muhammad Ali—entered the ring an eight-to-one underdog. Six rounds later, he was heavyweight champion.
That night, Jupiter stood almost exactly 120 degrees from the rising point in his birth chart. The gap was less than one-thirtieth of a degree.
But the timing didn’t begin that night.
Ali’s recorded birth time gives us a chart to examine against the events of his life—including the night he won the title.
Jupiter ruled the longer planetary period of Ali’s life. Mars, in his house of honors, ruled the shorter period within it. His annual profection—the chart’s year-by-year cycle—also brought Jupiter into focus.
Jupiter marked the longer period, the year, and the sky that night. Mars brought the house of honors into the picture. I read their convergence as a testimony to victory and public recognition.

The practitioner
I've practiced astrology since 2009. Today I work as a professional astrologer, teacher, and investigator of an ancient art whose questions are far from settled.
My specialty is medieval astrology. My practice, however, draws from several traditions, ancient and modern.
