New episode about the transit of Uranus in Gemini, and how astrologers came to associate it with major wars in United States history: youtu.be/EsuFeSuZeGo

The three most important wars in US history happened when Uranus was in Gemini, and Uranus just returned to Gemini today

In this episode I discuss how Luke Broughton was the first astrologer to discover the Uranus return war pattern right as the US was on the cusp of the Civil War in 1861, and then Evangeline Adams used it to predict World War II in 1931, a decade before it happened:

Uranus moving into Gemini provides a great opportunity to reflect on what its transit through Taurus meant for you. What whole sign house was Uranus transiting in your chart over the past 7 years, and what changes did you experience in that area of your life?

The first house signifies life, the second wealth does give; The third, siblings, fourth, how parents live; Children the fifth, sixth illnesses bring; The seventh relationships, and the eighth death's sting; The ninth, our faith and travels reveal; The tenth, career and public

This is my adaptation of an old astrological poem that can be traced back to the 16th century in different versions. Show me how you would adapt the poem in your own language.

Thanks for watching or listening for 500 episodes!

I'm looking for chart submissions for an episode, where people ask "how does X scenario that happened in my life show up in my chart", and then you post an image of your chart with a brief paragraph describing the unique life circumstances. Reply to this post with submissions.

Ironically even though comets are one of the oldest celestial phenomena studied by astrologers, they are one of the least understood today, but that is changing now:

Shout out to Petr for integrating comets into Astro-Seek! Here's to a new era in astrological research!

Mark Twain was born when Halley's Comet appeared in 1835, and then he died when it returned in 1910 ☄️

The Antikythera mechanism is a complex mechanical device found in an ancient Greek shipwreck, and in this episode we discussed how it was used for astrology:
