Diary of a Psychic Healer

I love astrology, and work with it for the metaphorical and self-actualization side that comes from integrating the Zodiac signs.  But I’ve had  planetary transits that boggle my mind, essentially when a planet’s current movements connect with a point in your natal chart. I have a hypothesis that I would like to test. I might try to organize a study that tests specific theories about natal astrology  💫 Right now, I want to see what makes transits affect us more or less predictably, if at all, and that is what I would like to test.    👉🏻 From a metaphorical, user-interface point of view , I see a ton of value in working with astrology but also think it's OK if it's mystical/myth based. I don't have a mode of action for astrology, but hope to test it anyway. In a moment of too much honestly, I have use for literal and metaphorical astrology. So I’m ok with proving or disproving it. In the meantime I'm going back to some of my math, stats and sc...

Two years ago, I wrote a post about how Uranus brings unexpected changes in my life . Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and liberation. Uranus transits to my natal Moon have brought relocations. At the time, I was applying for European citizenship but I didn't want to jinx it.  Well, it's finally come through! I don't know how this will translate into big changes, other than I hope to travel more.   When I applied, Uranus was exactly 120 degrees away from my Natal Moon at 19 degrees of Capricorn, and 120 degrees from the part of my natal chart that relates to my home - and what counts as home. My 4th House, or 4th pizza slice, as described on the Astrology 101 page.  Uranus is currently traveling through my 12th House in my natal chart - it relates to past lives, family baggage (or gifts!). That is part of what has become activated. The 120 degree planetary aspect - the trine - is about things falling into place with ease. The new citizenship came through the fa...

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...

I’ve  been going over key dates in my life and checking them against transits. A transit is when a planet moves through the zodiac and makes a connection with any of the placements in your natal chart, at an angle (say 60 or 90 degrees away), or crossing it directly. The direct transit is called a conjunction. It has a strong effect but whether it's easy or hard, depends on other factors.  Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and it also happens to rule Aquarius, my Sun Sign. It has a slow orbit though, taking 84 years to go around the zodiac. Uranus transits don’t happen often, and with big Uranus transits, something disruptive happens out of the blue 😅  A funny thing to know about me is that from age 13 to 19 (8th grade to 2nd year of college), I started the year at a different school each year. One new middle school, four high schools, and two colleges… in three countries. It was unexpected and weirdly doable, despite the fact that I didn't like all of the schoo...
