The Solar Return is an annual cycle that we experience each year around our birthday . Interestingly, this cycle doesn't always begin on the exact day of our birth; it can occur a day before, on the same day, or even the day after our birthday. Our birthday marks something deeply personal, a day when we become the center of attention and, in some way, feel special. The Solar Return shares that tone: it's a year-long cycle that offers us a clear vision of the lessons and insights we can expect during that time, bringing us a little closer to... read more

The Sun in the 12 Houses in the Composite Chart
The composite chart is a fascinating tool that combines the midpoints of two natal charts into a single astrological chart, creating a symbolic representation of the relationship as a whole (you can calculate your free composite chart here ) . It's important to note that the composite chart doesn't describe each person separately, but rather the dynamics of the relationship, the character the union takes on, and how it expresses itself to the world. It can be applied to all kinds of relationships—siblings, mother and daughter, close friends, professional partnerships—but in this post, we'll focus on romantic relationships, which tend... read more
The Angular, Successive and Cadent Houses
The Angular, Successive and Cadent Houses
In astrology, the twelve houses are divided into three categories according to their relationship to the major angles of an astrological chart: the Ascendant, the Midheaven, the Descendant, and the Imum Caeli. This classification subdivides the houses into angular, succedent, and cadent houses, a distinction that originates in Hellenistic astrology and was adopted by medieval and Arabic traditions. These categories are important in the sense that a planet's position in any of these three groups modifies the force with which it expresses itself . A planet in an angular house (visible and active) is not the same as a planet... read more

Uranus takes approximately 84 years to complete a complete orbit around the zodiac. During this cycle, it will transit through the 12 houses of our natal chart, remaining in each of them for approximately 7 years (except in the natal charts of people born at extreme latitudes, where the size of the houses can vary drastically). As a transpersonal planet, Uranus doesn't limit itself to operating on an individual level. Its movement reflects collective processes of transformation , and when it activates a natal house, what's at stake isn't just a personal experience, but an invitation to break away from... read more

Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, takes approximately 12 years to complete a complete orbit around the zodiac . During that cycle, it will transit through the 12 houses of our natal chart, spending about a year in each one (except in the natal charts of people born at extreme latitudes, where the size of the houses can vary dramatically). In traditional astrology—especially that with Hellenistic roots—Jupiter was considered the great benefic , as opposed to Saturn and Mars, which were called malefics. These categories arose from a practical reading of human experience: the term "benefic" was attributed... read more

Saturn takes approximately 29.5 years to complete a complete orbit around the zodiac. During this cycle, it will transit through the 12 houses of our natal chart, remaining in each of them for approximately 2.5 years (except in the natal charts of people born at extreme latitudes, where the size of the houses can vary drastically). In traditional astrology—especially that of Hellenistic origin—Saturn was considered a "malefic" planet, along with Mars. This classification arose from the observation that its influence was associated with coldness, slowness, restriction, and that which causes separation or difficulty. It was defined by authors such as... read more

Neptune takes approximately 165 years to complete a complete orbit around the zodiac , making it a planet of generational influence and subtle but deeply enveloping effects. Due to its slow pace, not everyone will experience the same Neptune transits, as its influence will be concentrated in certain areas of the natal chart during specific periods of life. However, wherever Neptune transits, its effect is diffuse but persistent, and it can gradually and irreversibly alter our perception of reality. Whatever Neptune touches, it dissolves . When it transits a house in our natal chart, it dissolves the ego identification we... read more
