Strange Sun
planetary domiciles and detriments, the uncanny sun in Aquarius
I have a few more ASTROLOGY READINGS IN FEBRUARY and some spaces open for this cosmic and practical WRITING INTENSIVE which begins at the end of the month! Reply to this email with any questions.
I’ve begun a new audio series for paid subscribers called Mystics, Heretics, and Madmen.
“Not me. Not that. But not nothing, either. A ‘something’ that I do not recognize as a thing.” — Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror
When a planet is in the sign opposite its domicile, its said to be in detriment. Domicile and detriment, fall and exaltation: the language of ancient astrology reveals the nature of planets—where they find notions of home and heights and where they take distant trips or practice resourcefulness. Who is hosting? And from where? Whose turf is this? With what sort of nourishment? Ancient astrology is a language of guests, hospitality, limits, and extremes. Planets are wandering stars, bright spots going through a lot.
