Last Friday the cruise ship Costa Concordia, a luxury ship and the largest built in Italy had a fatal shipwreck in front of Giglio island, few hours from departure. At the moment there are at least 3 victims and around 60 are lost at the sea. In the last hours three people are being rescued [...]

As many traditional astrologers, coming from horary, one of the first factors I consider in a chart is if planets are dignified by essential and accidental virtue.

Obviously Italy is not preserved from 2012 prophecies believers,1 but (un)fortunately we have ours in addition, and astrological ones too.

One of the most important chapters of Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is the one about the mind because, differently from what modern astrologers think, ancients were very attentive to it, and in the same time they were able to indicate mental problems or sufferings of psyche. To test their method, which once and again is Ptolemy method we [...]

Readers of my blog know quite well how astrology was important in Rome. It was important for Latins, but much more in Renaissance and late Renaissance. There was almost nothing done without consulting the astrologers, even inside the same Catholic Church. I believe of some interest to give a deeper look to the famous sundial [...]
My name is Margherita Fiorello from Rome, Italy.
I graduated with a thesis on Renaissance villas in Papal Kingdom and I have been engaged in traditional astrology since ten years. Currently I'm studying astrology with Giancarlo Ufficiale, one of the founders of CieloeTerra- Prof. Giuseppe Bezza's traditional astrology group. I'm a member of CieloeTerra and a certified CIDA member. More about me in the bio.
