THE END OF THE ROAD Pisces is a mutable WATER sign. Like each of the WATER signs, there is pain, sadness and loss, their quality varying with the sign they’re in. Emotional issues tend to be daily with Cancer, accompanied by rage with Scorpio, and felt by everyone in Pisces. The symbol of this sign is […]

Like multi-colored cloaks our legendary characters are putting on different personalities to illustrate in this chapter how Aquarians act and where their strengths and weaknesses lie. If Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius (it is), then Saturnian issues will tend to do well here. If the Sun is in its detriment here (it is), then the power […]

         WHAT YOU DO COME BACK TO YOU- It’s the law!  This is the chapter for Capricorn and it’s themes of rules, responsibility and determination in the face of adversity. Mars is in its exaltation in Capricorn. Saturn, the planet that rules Capricorn, is in its exaltation in Libra. All these themes interweave. So what does […]

              HOMER’s ODYSSEY, Ch. XXI- SAGITTARIUS II  We’re up to the twenty-first out of twenty-fourth chapter of Homer’s Odyssey, and we’re pretty darn pleased with the results. What is becoming evident is that both the Iliad and the Odyssey are celestial choreographies, using various stellar landmarks as benchmarks to weave their way through their plot line. This week we’re looking […]

      Scorpio is one of the most powerful and passionate signs of the zodiac. Eleven signs of the Zodiac focus on the ins-and-outs of life. Scorpio deals with death, checkmating life in its tracks. Sex and death are said to be Scorpio’s keywords. It is a fixed WATER sign, signaling deep seated emotions and […]

        In this, the nineteenth chapter of Homer’s Odyssey, we are looking once again (see Chapter VII) at the nature of relationships three thousand years ago. The courtship of the belligerent suitors is brought to the fore, and, after twenty years of waiting, Odysseus and Penelope meet and lay eyes on each other […]

           HOMER’s ODYSSEY, Ch. XVIII- VIRGO II Examples abound throughout this chapter of Homer. Like Gemini, which is also ruled by Mercury, this is the sign of the mind and nervous system, but unlike Mercury’s rulership over Gemini (an AIR sign), this is Mercury’s rulership over Virgo (an EARTH sign). In Gemini, it is often thoughts and […]

Leo is characterized by a lion, the King of the Beasts. It is a sign ruled by the Sun and deals with honesty, truth and nobility. As opposed to the home in Cancer, in Leo it is the palace that’s the place where you lay you head. The  central nervous system and heart are the […]

                    HOME SWEET HOME  Cancer is a sign represented by the Moon, the body closest to the Earth. It is a Cardinal WATER sign that rules the feminine, yin, body, and soul. It’s the emotional connections that we share with our closest family and friends. It is […]

This lunation we’re taking a look at the third sign of the zodiac for the second time, Gemini. If our hypothesis is correct, this constellation of the zodiac was the theme for Chapter 3 and 15 (12, repeating the cycle, plus 3 for the second time around = 15).       Astrologically speaking Gemini was […]

      Well, here we are at the second examination of Taurus, the archetype ruled by Venus. The Moon is in its exaltation here, Mars it’s detriment. Taurus is a Fixed EARTH sign, bound by a bond of Love. These people can be loyal and steadfast. In contemporary times they are seen to be […]

Resetting the Tumblers Our hypothesis in this series is that Homer’s books, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are astrological primers. Each work has 24 chapters, apparently linked to the 12 signs of the zodiac. In either work, chapter one equals Aries while chapter twelve finishes with Pisces. Chapter thirteen starts the whole cycle over again with Aries, chapter fourteen with […]

This is our twelfth sign, or constellation if you prefer. Three thousand years ago, the era when the Odyssey was composed, the two were one. This twelfth division corresponds to Pisces, a mutable WATER sign ruled in contemporary times by Neptune (Gk- Poseidon), and in antiquity by Jupiter (Gk- Zeus). Venus is in its exaltation in […]

              HOMER’s ODYSSEY, Ch. XI- AQUARIUS  This week we’re taking a look at the 11th chapter of Homer’s Odyssey, a chapter which, if our hypothesis is correct, corresponds to the 11th sign of the zodiac, Aquarius. If Aquarius is around, the stars shouldn’t’t be far behind. The eye of the Sun […]

This week we’re taking a look at the tenth chapter of Homer’s Odyssey, a chapter devoted to Capricorn, a CARDINAL EARTH sign ruled by Saturn. The glyph associated with this sign is that of a Sea-goat, half-goat and half-fish, often depicted overseeing life from the top of a mountain. In the body Capricorn rules the spinal column, skeletal system […]

In our last Moon Mail, we took a look at Chapter IX of Homer’s Odysseyand compared it’s themes to its rulership (Zeus and/or Jupiter), and the sign that it ruled (Sagittarius). Using a code that relies to a large extent on imagery and repetition, we began to observe a number of related characteristics that emerge through the chapter, especially […]

  With Odysseus as our role model in this chapter, we see this new persona making it’s appearance right at the beginning as our hero declares that his fame has ‘reached the skies‘ (line 23). In fact, anything that derives from the skies such as rain, storms, hail, lightning and even the planets (Jupiter’s children) fall into […]

               SEX AND DEATH  This week we’re taking a look at the 8th chapter of Homer’s epic novel, the Odyssey, suggesting that it is part of an Astrological Primer, an ancient handbook for learning astrology, for learning about life. The eighth chapter corresponded not only to the sign of the zodiac we are all familiar with, […]

 Libra is a CARDINAL AIR sign ruled by Venus. Like the scales which it represents, its vibration is attuned to balance, marriage and harmony. Of course the symbolism of the scales brings in the whole notion of the LEGAL SYSTEM and the virtues (truth, honesty, integrity, justice, etc) inherent there. It’s season is AUTUMN, its cardinal […]

               LAUNDRY DAY  Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac. Ruled by Mercury, it is a MUTABLE EARTH sign symbolized by the Virgin and the sheath of wheat she holds. It is a vibration that deals with practical crafts like wool or basket weaving, knitting, quilt making and […]

                 CAN YOU SPELL ‘LOVER’?  Leo is a FIXED FIRE sign, ruled by the Sun. In the body it rules the heart and things related to the heart, such as love and heart-break, loved ones, children and pleasure. In hard alignments these same themes can generate a ‘lack of’ or ‘difficulty with’ these same items. The […]

  We’re up to our fourth chapter of Homer which correlates to the fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer. Ruled by the Moon, this is a Cardinal Water sign that deals with the feminine, home, family, silver, womb and birth, bath, beds, sleep and things nautical. And then, there’s always food. As a water sign, […]

Gemini is the third sign of the Zodiac. Ruled by Mercury, it is a Mutable AIR sign which deals with the intellect and nervous systems. This is the sign of duality as represented by the Twins, brothers and sibling. They’re clever and precocious. If you know the myth about Hermes birth, it highlights his creativity on […]

  WORDLY TREASURES             So, we will devour your worldly goods and wealth             as long as she holds out, holds to that course the gods have chartered deep inside her heart. Great renown she wins for herself, no doubt, great loss for you in treasure.  These […]

GOLDEN TREADS   In a mix of metaphors, we are to set out once again in a Herculean task as we examine in close detail Homer’s epic work, the Odyssey. Like its predecessor the Iliad, it is a work composed of 24 chapters which is, in essence, an astrological primer for students of the stars. […]

21:5  And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but […]

Historically speaking, eclipses were generally feared. One month from now, as the eclipse runs through the core of the country (from Oregon to South Carolina), President Trump’s Ascendant will be triggered as his light goes out, either personally or politically.

      In examining this Full Moon, what immediately jumps out is the recent nationalistic sentiment being stirred up by President Trump, of his representing the patriotic fervor of ‘Making America great again’. It was enough to tap a vein of enthusiasm within the country so that it got him elected. This is the Sun […]

Over the last couple of Moon Mails we have been sharing some of the notions proposed by John Michell in his classic work, The View over Atlantis. In simple terms it proposed that there was once a world wide system of highways and bi-ways that were specifically contoured to help improve the vibrancy and health of […]

In our book, When the Dragon Wore the Crown, we contend that long ago cultures all over the world shared an ideology of a great flying serpent that wrapped his considerable bulk around the North Celestial Pole and chased his own tail for literally thousands of years. In other words, the source of this myth was astronomical. This […]

                There have been a number of works which have influenced my thought through youth, but possibly none more so than John Michell’s The View Over Atlantis. It describes a time, now largely forgotten, when Terra Firma was mapped out as one big observatory, a ‘City of God’, nestled in the bosom of […]

Returning to our feature from November 29th’s edition of the WEB (2016), we have now passed one of the alignments we saw forthcoming in the US chart (4th July, 1776). In that edition, the progressed US Ascendant inconjuncted Pluto in the final degrees of Leo and Capricorn, suggesting a power struggle between the king (Leo) […]

Taking a look at the national map (horoscope) reveals some of the choreography of what we are going through as a country and when. For now we’ll start with January and look at some of the principle aspects into mid-May. Remember that these are waves of energy, building into the dates indicated, then winding down […]

  We received a request a fortnight ago (in the Queen’s English, a fortnight is half a synodic month, 14.77 days, the mean time between a Full Moon and a New Moon) asking about the Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto T-square. In this case, it’s more than just the three planets that we have for the traditional T-square. If we […]

  You may have a totally new zodiac sign, according to an astronomy society that redefined the zodiac calendar, but NASA wants to clarify its role in the matter. Back in 2011, as TIME reported, astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon’s gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars has […]

In January 1959 during the latter portion of the two-term Eisenhower administration, the US progressed Moon entered Scorpio. This can represent many things, among them covert operations, especially while traveling through the 12th house. It was in January 1959 that Fidel Castro overthrew the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, the leader of a government friendly to […]

In a few days, on August 26th, transiting Uranus will square the US Mercury. This is the second, or retrograde pass, of the series of three alignments that is in the midst of playing itself out. By taking a look at what happened on the days leading up to this combination as it made its […]

As most WEBHeads out there know, this is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. The boundary separating Pisces from Aquarius has already been crossed and a new vibration is at work, changing old patterns. Yet we are still in the infantile stages of this new epoch, and its tender young shoots are only just […]

  As we begin this column, Pluto is rising. The world is getting to be a crazier place. We are slowly witnessing a crumbling order, the end of a period of time, the end of a vibration. The WEB, Athenas WEB has been attempting to alert people to this transition since we have been writing, […]

On the 12th of October last year, we published a column entitled, “On the World Stage” and described Neptune squaring the US Ascendant/Descendant axis, an alignment that would occur three times. That copy was specifically commenting on the second of the three alignments, exact on September 28th, 2015. In that same series we also mentioned […]

Many of the characters of myth were shape-shifters. Besting them meant they would be forced to reveal hidden secrets about past or future. Menelaos wrestled with Proteus, an early god of the rivers and oceans until Proteus provided him with the information he sought. Heracles wrestled with Asclepion who kept changing his appearance in an effort to throw him […]

The following is part of a series I ran back in 2010, but it’s as timeless as ever. These are two out of the five columns that were run as the Sun transited through Scorpio that year. It strikes to the heart of Scorpionic energy, but in a humorous fashion. Who says that learning can’t […]

  On the 27th and 28th of September, we were watching as we had the Full Moon on the former, and Neptune squaring the US Ascendant on the latter. Certainly, here was an issue worthy of note, celestially speaking. What would it be? In a hard aspect, Neptune can deal with confusion, illusion, deception and […]

  There’s a powerful alignment coming up at the end of September that’s likely to knock the US on its heels. Retrograde Neptune will be squaring the US Ascendant/Descendant axis, stirring mud and sediment from the metaphorical ocean’s bottom, disturbing our visual clarity. There’s a storm a-brewin’. Let’s look at some examples. Because this is […]
