Astrological Forecasts with a Traditional Twist

Aphorisms of Nicholas Culpepper 1647

Nicholas Culpepper

I have been a bit too busy to write to our lovely blog, and wish to take this time to thank our brilliant monthly forecaster, extraordinare, Kathy Watts, who has astounded me with her accuracy! It makes a huge difference when one can plan ahead! Many, many thanks, Kathy, and well done! As a below the horizoner… :)   I cannot thank you enough for doing such a bang up, job of letting us know what is likely to happen to us, a month, before it unfolds,  each month!! Many, many thanks, Kathy!

Several commentators have asked me to put up some ‘beginners’ astrology, so here it is! While doing some much needed Spring cleaning, I  came across wonderful copies of ancient astrology books I  had completely forgotten about, hidden in the deep, dark recesses of my house.  To my amazement,  I ran across one, I didn’t even know I had! The astrological aphorisms concerning the signs, from the great herbalist, medical doctor, and astrologer, Nicholas Culpepper.  I believe, these originated from copies made by that traditional publishing pioneer,  John Ballantrae.  Comprised of old microfilm copies of the original,  in places, I am afraid, the old print has bled into the top of some of the following page. Thus, I found parts illegible. If you have a retype, or a better copy and find a mistakes, or even better, can fill in the blanks where I have a question mark within brackets [?], please let me know so I can fix them! I also tried to keep Nicholas’s 17th century spelling and pagination, but every now and again, my fingers would spell in modern English. If I try to edit, this will never get up, so I beg you to please bear with me and bless you for your patience.

Heads Up! The May 2012 Writer’s Astrological Almanac

by Kathy Watts on May.01, 2012, under Forecasts

Geraldine the Cow


Happy May! We start on Tuesday (the day of the week for Mars) with the Moon conjunct Mars in Virgo. Let this be a month of care and consideration as well as a month of merriment.


Wed May 02 the Moon is void of course in Virgo for most of the day but enters Libra in the evening. Have a methodical, productive work day, then a more relaxed social evening.


Fri May 04 the Moon conjuncts Saturn in Libra then goes void of course until entering Scorpio in the evening. You can smoothly deal with obligations, then ease into a serious but still pleasant weekend.


Sat May 05 the Moon is in Scorpio when Mercury exactly opposes Saturn. Self-criticism, indeed all crilticism, can be constructive and free of pointless doubts. That night, we get the Full Moon at 16 Sco. Heads Up.  This is also Wesak, the celebration of the birth of the Buddha. Visualize tea and flowers falling from the sky. Apply yourself to improving your world as well as your work.  My plan for this lunation is to wage peace, and have a cup of tea.


Tue May 08 the Moon is void of course in Sagittarius most of the day, entering Capricorn that evening. The day may seem scattered, but you can get back in touch with a lot of people. Three hours later, Mercury changes signs, leaving Aries for Taurus. If thinking gets a bit slower, it may also get more practical and intent on basic niceness.


Wed May 09 the Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. Let people leave you voice mail. Get a lot done.


Sun May 13 the Moon enters Pisces in the early morning. Look forward to dreams rich in emotion. Two hours later the Sun conjuncts Jupiter. Think lucky, the whole world over. Four hours later the Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces. Don’t even bother trying to think. Three and a half hours later, though, Mercury makes a trine to Mars. Perhaps thinking may resume. As creators and lovers of life, happy Mother’s Day to us all.


Mon May 14 the Moon is in Pisces all day. Dream material may find its way into your waking world. Mercury trines Pluto today. You might discover that sometimes it’s fun to dig in and work on something serious. Seriousness does not have to mean grim.


Tue May 15 the Moon is void of course in Pisces when Venus goes stationary retrograde at 23 Gemini. Heads Up. Make an effort to not take personal offense at anything and expect slightly less elegance and glamour in the world, and you’ll get through this retrograde just fine. Don’t overanalyze anything. From now till June 28, aesthetic taste, politeness and charm may go slightly underground.  On the up side, Venus gets to spend a lot of extra time in Gemini. (This could be a good time to crank out that revenge-filled divorce from hell romance novel. Just a thought.)


Wed May 16 the Moon is in Aries all day. Now that should be energizing! In the morning, the Moon conjuncts Uranus in Aries. Work on something surprising or totally unscheduled, but don’t get so derailed that you work on nothing. Four hours later Mars makes a trine to Pluto. This can be a serious big gun for the good. Do something good with all this energy. Heads Up.


Sat May 19 the Moon conjuncts Mercury in Taurus. Work on clever schemes but don’t expect prompt results. And, Heads Up. It’s the day before the New Moon (which will also be a solar eclipse).Be safe and alert. Caution is good; paranoia is not. Plus, it’s the last day of the month when the Sun is in Taurus. Don’t be surprised if a lot of people are extra stubborn today. Tomorrow the pace of everything may be faster and crisper. Heads Up again.


Sun May 20 a very dark crescent Moon conjuncts Jupiter at 24 Taurus. Resolve to let today be lucky, no matter how things feel. Perhaps your best luck will be of the private kind. Three hours later the Sun changes signs and enters Gemini. See the world with a fresh pair of eyes, and be sparing in commenting on it all. Almost nine hours later, the Sun and Moon finally meet up to make the New Moon at 00Gem. This is also a solar eclipse, visible from the western US, but the Sun won’t dim because it’s an annular eclipse (the Moon is slightly too far from the Earth and therefore too small to cover the entire face of the Sun). This is your basic major Heads Up kind of day, profoundly energetic and intense, second only to that Full Moon in Scorpio that happened on May 05. Stay calm, centered, and share your serenity with everyone. Tomorrow you may have brilliant fresh new tales to tell.


Mon May 21 the Moon is in Gemini all day. Near the end of day, Mercury conjuncts Jupiter. Take advantage of this applying conjunction to think and create on as big a scale as you can. You can get a lot done today. In fact, you can start some amazing projects that will need the rest of the year to finish. Don’t be shy about anything, but don’t overdo it and chase people away. With tact, you could successfully pitch a project or sell something big.  Why not?


Tue May 22 the Moon conjuncts Venus retrograde in Gemini. Cleverness can be good if dressed in a bit of pleasantry. Smile at least as much as you talk today.


Wed May 23 the Moon enters Cancer in the early morning. We are enjoying a month of Wednesdays with the Moon in cardinal signs, and today may be the most calm and comfortable Wednesday, conducive to getting work done, especially in more domestic settings. Have a cup of tea, maybe more, and write.


Thu May 24 the Moon is still in Cancer when Mercury changes signs and moves into its home sign of Gemini. You may have more ideas and desires to start projects than any human can contain, so take notes. You have all year to pace yourself. We have from now till June 25 to enjoy Mercury working his communicative magic in his home sign. Don’t waste a day of it. Take this as a prolonged and good Heads Up.


Sun May 27 the Moon is in Leo when Mercury conjuncts the Sun. Write with extra pride today. You can show it to the world later. Or, heck, maybe it’s a good day to schedule a public reading. I just love it when someone reads to me.


Mon May 28 the Moon conjuncts Mars at the close of day. This is especially appropriate for Memorial Day in the US. Be strong, brave, and dignified today, and let your work reflect your skill, training, and self-discipline. Recall, in this month of thirty-one days, we’re getting this conjunction for the second time. The rest of the sky, of course, is different.


Wed May 30 the Moon is in pleasant Libra when Mercury exactly squares Mars. Even the most contentious, controversial subjects can be discussed calmly and constructively. Go for the constructive criticism and skip the ruffled feathers, especially your own.


Thu May 31 the Moon conjuncts Saturn in Libra, then goes void of course. End this month with at least the veneer of agreeability and respect for the opinions of others. Respect your own opinions, too, and don’t hesitate to politely share and explain them to willing listeners, operative word ‘willing.’ There’s no pleasure or profit in capturing an audience that will rebel later.


As is fitting for a month on the crest of high spring, this May is classic in its energy, growth, vivaciousness, and colorful glory. You may prefer to work on more serious subjects or even on things nearly engulfed in shadow, and if so you’ll find plenty of help from the sky to do that, too. Take a firm grip on your dreams and plans, and bring at least a small part of one of them to brilliant life. Everything wants to live and grow. That includes you and your work. Let the sun shine on your efforts. Bask in the luxury of doing something that you love.  Heads Up!

Head’s Up! April 2012~The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

by Kathy Watts on Apr.01, 2012, under Forecasts, Traditional Astrology

Happy Spring!

April 2012

Happy glorious April! April the First, All Fools’ Day, starts off on Sunday, the Sun’s day, with the Moon entering Leo. Let this be a month of bright golden moments, and I’m not fooling around. It’s true, we still have a few more days of Mercury being retrograde, but that can add focus as well as slow down the fast pace. The Sun is in the heart of Aries. You can make this month work for you.

Tue Apr 03 the Moon is in Virgo when Venus changes signs and enters the sign of Gemini. For all the rest of this month, Venus is a guest in Mercury’s house. May your writing (and all communications) be at their most beautiful and charming. The Moon also conjuncts Mars today. Take that as an extra dose of energy to pour into  your work. Perhaps it’s a good day to do some hardcore editing. (continue reading…)

Heads Up! The February 2012 Writer’s Astrological Almanac

by Kathy Watts on Feb.01, 2012, under Forecasts, Traditional Astrology

Happy February!

Wed Feb 01 gives us the Moon moving into Gemini. We start the month off with a writing bash that lasts until Friday evening. Put on that extra sweater, socks, maybe turn up the heat, or cuddle closer to your laptop, and indulge your writing passion while the outside world does its chill winter thing (assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere or not in the tropics, Hawaii or Key West or some other classic writer refuge). Also today, Venus exactly opposes Mars retrograde. Ah, Love on the tips of both horns. Perhaps paper (or bytes) are the best place to put passions today.

Thu Feb 02 the Moon trines Mercury, a nice touch to add when the Moon is already in Mercury’s home sign of Gemini. Ideas should be in generous supply today. Take notes. (continue reading…)

The Previous Spring Ingress prior to Costa Concordia’s Sinking

by Dorothy Kovach on Jan.30, 2012, under Forecasts, Traditional Astrology

I am so thrilled to have received such an excellent question from a person who has given so much to the traditional astrology movement by his digging up the many ancient books of William Lilly and other’s, John Ballantrae who asked:

Dear Dorothy:

“That chart for the ship leaving the harbor can presumably be applied to anyone or anything beginning a journey in that  location, at that moment. However, car journeys didn’t end in disaster; buses leaving the depot at that time didn’t crash. Etc. How is this chart relevant or what is it about this chart that is valid for showing the outcome of the voyage? The approach reminds me of the charts set for when JFK jr.’s fatal flight took off - but it wasn’t the only flight that took off around that time and from that location that reached its destination safely.”

A brilliant question, indeed. How do we know that this is not just a random event?

Well, as Ptolemy sayeth:

“Since, then prognotication by astronomical means is divided into two great principal parts, and since the first and more universal is that which relates to whole races, countries and cities, which is called general, and the second more specific has to do with individual men….because matters are swayed by greater and more powerful causes than are particular events And since weaker natures always yield to the stronger…”


Ptolemy also tells us we should always look to the greater charts, i.e., Ingresses, New Moons, and Eclipses, because as smaller beings we are subject to the country we live in. I think had we looked into the charts of John his wife, and her sister at the time, we would have seen that each of their charts were in perilous situation, astrologically. In addition, had we looked to the Ingress chart set for the United States, we would have probably seen the tragedy there, as well, because the entire nation was deeply affected by that crash, even though other planes took off and landed safely at their destination. Perhaps, as time allows we can put up that chart, too.

But getting back to Ptolemy, you most likely recall that he suggests that each country in the world, has a natural sympathy, and that much of Europe responds to the fiery triangle of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, and that Italy, specifically responds to the sign Leo itself. Therefore, whenever we look to any mundane chart associated with Italy, we should always take special care, to look specifically where the sign Leo is. And because the Sun rules Leo, we then look to where the Sun is located and what planets he is associated with and in aspect with. Armed with this information, the Spring Ingress chart set for 2011, will give us great clues as to what will happen in the coming year. Since we are talking about a Spring that took place some months back I am including here the illustration of the Spring Ingress set for Rome, the capital of Italy in 2011. I always use the capital, as that is the main city (except for USA, where I prefer New York ).

italy-2011-spring-ingress-pre-costa-concordia

The first clue we have that there will be some event that has to do with travel and voyages (or religion) is that we see that Leo is on the cusp of the 9th house in Italy’s Spring Chart, has Leo on the cusp. This is neither good nor bad. However, where the Sun is placed is problematic for travel. This is because as you recall, William Lilly and several ancients were very clear in in warning that we do not wish to have ruler of the 9th in the 4th house when we have travel charts. After all, just as the 4th sector sits on the bottom of the circle, so too the 4th is symbolic with the bottom of the ocean, or ground. This is a warning to both planes and shipping, after all, who wants to wind up on the bottom of the sea?

In addition, the Sun is the natural ruler of heads of state, and in shipping the captain. When the Sun is placed in Aries, the ego is greatly enhanced. Sun in Aries, is also a sign of great masculinity (sign of Mars) and movement (cardinal fire). So we have aggressive shipping moves led by what might be a rather confident commander. Leaders in Italy in 2011 - to early 2012, will have a very dramatic flare, and obviously, think rather well of themselves (Sun in Exaltation), perhaps too well of themselves (conjunct Jupiter) and this ego may lead to their own demise (Sun in 4th), because not only is the Sun in the bottom of the chart, it is in opposition to the traditional planet who gives us the axe, Saturn! If that were not all, the head of the ship, and the heads of Italy in general, may be prone to making some rather erratic decisions, which might lead to accidents because modern astrologers will notice that the Sun also sits with the ever accidentally prone, Uranus!

But just like our ginzu knife sale, that’s not all! As you probably recall, the ancients said that the Moon was the natural ruler of travel, because of her many changes. Notice the Moon is in the 10th house of leaders (i.e., captains), and she is with the leaden Saturn…. all this does not spell well for journeys in the Italian national Spring chart. Add one part ugly Spring Ingress for travel, to one very unlucky launch and stir, and we have one very senseless catastrophe that could have been avoided, had the Costa Concordia’s Captain Schettino been a little less risk oriented.

Also worth noticing, it was not just Captain Schettino who got into trouble due to erratic actions. With Sun in the 4th conjoined to Uranus, this chart, also implies other leaders may lose their job. And well, as you know, but for some who don’t; not only did Captain Schettino stupidly run his ship aground killing many helpless people, but so did the long time president of Italy, former President Berlusconi!

The Costa Concordia - One Unlucky Cruise

by Dorothy J. Kovach on Jan.15, 2012, under Traditional Astrology

The Bottle Should Break!The Costa Concordia Friday 13th

The Costa Concordia Friday 13th

At about 2 hours after the sun had dropped into the Mediterranean Sea,  the Costa Concordia, set sail from  Citiavecchio, about 80 kilometers west of Rome, on what it thought was a routine voyage, but on this, Friday the 13th,  things would be anything but routine. Instead the ship would run aground, leading at least 5 unlucky souls to their death,  17 missing and thousands cold and stranded.  What happened on that fateful night, we can only speculate. Astrologers believe that every ending is based upon single beginning. Therefore, ancients were very careful to pay very close attention to every little detail of birth, because they came to believe that the very first moment of holds within it, the seeds of future. It is on this basis, that astrology is based. The very first moment is so important to some Vedic astrologers, that they will pay more attention to an omen than the actual natal chart!

Indeed, omens are so deeply ingrained in the human psyche that even those who scoff at astrology, often cannot help but react when an omen smacks them in the face. Such is the case of the Unlucky Costa Concordia. Many do know that in New York, the home of tall skyscrapers, a 13th floor rarely, if at all, exists,  so strong the superstition in building a 13th floor, but the Costa Concordia, did heed this urban tradition, and housed 13 decks, along with 13 bars, which given the Venus conjoined with Neptune, as we will see, perhaps was not such a good idea.

We do not know what time the Costa Concordia was initially launched on September 2nd, 2005, As you know, that it is customary, just before a ship takes her first plunge into the sea, to christen her by breaking a bottle of champagne on her side - for good luck!!  Listen to the moaning as the bottle refuses to break!

So what happened in the last few hours of Friday the 13th of January,  to  bring this massive skyscraper of a ship to her side, on the tiny Giglio Island ? We can only speculate. However, astrologers know that cruise ship’s future, for better, or for worse, was already noted by the angels, with that first splash the Costa Concordia made at approximately 7pm, local time, when she left the harbor of Citavechhio and headed out to sea.

costa-concordia-friday-13th-cruise


William Lilly and the ancients drew out precise instructions for shipping with the first house representing the ship and all who sail in her.

Looking at the first house, we see that partying sign of Leo rises, we can assume that there was a festive and upbeat atmosphere on the ship, when it set sail. Such a playful feeling that some astute passengers were keen to notice that there were no safety drills as are the normal procedures. This casual attitude at launch is the first sign that those on board are in harm’s way because their ruler, the Sun  is placed in one of the weakest sector of the chart, the house of illness, known as the 6th house.  In general, the Sun has to do with all things royal. And we could say that those onboard represented the crème de la crème of society, and is very descriptive of a ship filled with the upper echelon of society,  dressed to the ‘nines’ and enjoying themselves to the fullest, but so placed completely in the dark as to the dangers that lurked just ahead. At about 9:15 pm,  ”we heard a crash. Glasses and plates fell down and we went out of the dining room and we were told it wasn’t anything dangerous” according to Gert Hammer, 65 , told The Associated Press she was eating her first course, when the ship lurched to its side.

Even though the ship had run aground, passengers were told it was but a minor electrical error. Notice the Moon conjoined to Mars in the 3rd house, a clear sign of a big whopper!! Also notice that the ancients said that because the angle of the 6th house did not divide evenly into the circle, that it could not ’see’ and was thus a ‘blind’ house. And indeed, with the passengers were kept ‘in the dark’ about what was really going on for another 45 minutes when the power went off and chaos erupted. And again indicative of that Moon and Mars combo in the house of communications, in many cases, passengers said authorities contradicted one another, telling them one thing and then reversing course.

The Sun is also the natural representative of royalty, on a ship, it will have a lot to say about the methods of the the top brass on board,  specifically the captain. It also insinuates that the captain might have been very slow to react because we notice the Sun is at hard angle to planet of  death,  Saturn.  If this were not enough, looking to the section denoting the captain, we see the very stubborn Taurus astride the cusp of the captain’s house, the tenth sector. This makes the ever handsome and charming, Venus the captain’s planetary emissary. Notice, Venus is in the house of others, the seventh, specifically with Neptune, the planet of illusion.  Where Neptune goes, drugs, and alcohol, all too often follow. Also, Taurus, being both fixed and earthy, is the most stubborn of the signs, on the house of the captain. Hit the following link, and you can hear (albeit in beautiful Italian),  Captain Francesco Schettino, tell tgcom24, that the ship impacted a rock, ‘that was not marked. ‘

We do not know for certain, but some have said that the captain of the vessel was seen leaving the ship before the people had been evacuated! At this time, the captain claimed there should have been water where the rock was! Although, the villagers of Giglio claim they had never seen the ship come so close to the island before. At this time Captain Schettino is in custody, and could face manslaughter charges.
