"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck that which is planted.” Ecclesiastes, Chapter III, verse 1-8 |

Over the course of a year, the solstices and equinoxes of the Sun mark out the changing seasons, which affect not only our moods but also our choice of activities. On a smaller scale, the Moon's phases divide up the month into mini 'seasons', which also colour our actions and moods. Anyone who has ever worked in the emergency services around the Full Moon will tell you this is true! The planets can make aspects to each other, and of course, to the planetary positions in the natal chart of an individual. Given that I don't have your individual charts at my disposal, the next best thing to do is use mundane astrology to look at universal trends - that is, the aspects, cycles and phases of the luminaries and planets as they are found in the sky for everyone, without reference to any particular natal chart. This can yield a surprising amount of information and often helps to explain the general cultural mood or 'zeitgeist' of the human species across the globe at any given time, as well as help chart the path of certain worldwide trends which stand to affect us all. My hope is, therefore, that you will find my Astro-Insights a useful overview or general guide that helps you get the inside track on what to do when in the larger, worldly sense. Bernadette Brady has suggested that we have much to gain by returning to a more visual approach to astrology, in which, like the ancients, we consider not only the abstract, hypothetical aspects that planets make to each other, which are not always visible to the naked eye, but also consider the effect of what we can actually see in the night sky, as well as in the world around us. Noticeable changes on earth, such as the seasons, often coincide with the phases of the Sun and Moon. This is because the macrocosm and the microcosm work together as part of a much larger scheme - 'As Above, So Below' in the words of the hermetic tradition. For this reason, I include a section on Planetary and Stellar phases in my Astro-Insights calendar.
