Multilevel houses

For a few years now I've been contemplating the astrological houses every chance I got. I wasn't able to address everything I came up with surrounding them in the articles I've tagged because I wasn't able to put all my thoughts into words at the time, let alone explain each concept I wanted to present further but left out in a way that'd make it easily understandable. That's why I'm well aware those articles are lacking, but they will have to do for now.

There's a couple of other things I wanted to discuss surrounding the houses and now is a good a time as any to address one of them. They say the houses are areas of life, but one should not imagine each of them as being a pen stuffed with certain areas. Instead, it would be more logical to think of them as a whole as one big library, each of the houses representing one large row of book cases. Each case would contain a certain area corresponding to its appropriate house. Each case in turn would have shelves that represent different levels of possibilities in regards to said area. The books on the shelves, the pages within those books and each individual word would represent more and more particular minute details.

On Venus retro

We are currently experiencing Venus retrograde. We've discussed retrogrades in detail in Asteria, including Venus. But that information is aimed more at allowing people to understand the phenomenon in relation to their magical work.

Here I want to speak more about mundane things, while reminding people retrograde planets are considered debilitated. That is to say, they manifest their inharmonious sides and thus it's best to abstain from magical works with the intent of using their beneficial nature.

"Stay away" update

Last month I posted this article on how something that can be considered a curse can have good repercussions for the target as well. But that's not all! Earlier this week I was told his family forced him to move in with them in the countryside for a while.

That while may very well turn out to be a couple of years or more. The guy seemed so sad he had to go and said he'd keep in touch, but who cares... The good thing for me is that the whole thing turned out in my favor after all, irrespective of his feelings and whatnot.

The Force is with me >:D

Anuncio en linea

The guys over at Boticario Magico have produced an ad containing Asteria, Cielos, Chiron, Señor Shaman's book, their translation of Aradia into Español, along with their own zodiacal calendar.

Since I suck at html and the page coloring and formatting gets fucked up whenever I want to switch to adding html codes, I cannot actually put the video in this article. But you can watch it here.

Zodiacal calendar

The guys over at Boticario Magico have released a zodiacal calendar for 2023 (and will obviously release one for each year to come).

The calendar contains several important pieces of information, including lunar phases and Mercury retro periods. Moreover, it contains the sigils of the twelve zodiacal angels. Note the angel names are taken from the Magical Calendar, a renaissance source, as well as good ol' Cornelius Agrippa.

Tricky trickster

I've spoken multiple times about how I find Mercury the most difficult planet to work with in regards to elections. Here is one such example.

Mercury is close to entering Virgo, a sign of its domicile and exaltation. Naturally, Mercury is super powerful in this sign. However, if we are to consider lunar phases as well, we see that the only election that takes into account both the Moon's phase and sign would be on August 1. The following chart shows Mercury on the MC and the Moon a little past the Full Moon degree, but also consider Mercury on the ASC, something that would have the Moon placed just prior to that degree.

Getting down and dirty

The title of this article is the first half of the article titled "Getting down and dirty: Astrology and love spells" from Asteria 2. The article is found on page 135 and it presents two complex charts, one of which is depicted above. The goal of this article is to help practicing occultists achieve better success with love spells by making use of astrological knowledge. 

The astrological details mentioned in the article fall into modern astrological teachings, but so far I found such teachings extremely helpful in decripting the highly complex energetic patterns between people. When applying magical means on already existing patters, magicians have a bigger chance of shifting things the way they desire. Alternatively, they can come across patterns that will hinder their love spells. The Magick of Astrorelationships can be of great help in the latter case.
