The Sun: A Radiant Centre Beyond Personality

A solitary figure steps from a shaded grove toward a sunlit landscape and a mature oak tree, with a young sapling in the foreground.

Each morning, the Sun restores the visible world.

Things emerge from darkness. Distances become perceptible. Paths appear. What had been hidden acquires shape, colour, and direction. The Sun does not merely illuminate the landscape; it makes orientation possible.

Astrologically, the Sun performs a similar function within the horoscope. It is the centralizing principle: the power through which a life gradually becomes coherent, intentional, and distinctly its own.

A Town Full of Churches: Where Many Paths Became One

A solitary traveller walks a winding country road through a rural landscape at sunset, passing several small churches beneath a luminous evening sky filled with the first emerging stars.

As I prepare to attend the 14th Anniversary Mass of All Inclusive Ministries, I find myself reflecting on a path no one could have predicted—and on all the churches that helped shape it. If someone had told the boy I once was that he would one day become a Catholic, help establish an LGBTQ Catholic ministry, and spend decades as a professional astrologer, I would have found it utterly improbable.

The Birth Climate: Temperament & the Atmosphere of Your Horoscope

Astrology has more than one way of describing what a person is "like."

Modern readers are often familiar with the elements — Fire, Earth, Air, and Water — and the balance of the elements do tell us something important. They suggest the kinds of things a person is inclined to notice, what captures attention, and how that perception becomes motivation.
