A couple of weeks ago I attended a lecture about Tithi organized by our Italian Astrological Association. I’m absolutely new to Vedic astrology, so I will take the definition from Wikipedia, I don’t know more than this in fact. A Tithi is “a lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between [...]

In the last comment I wrote that I would close comments about that awful man, Anton Grigoryev, a man who can steal to a woman and a friend who opened her house twice and believed he was a friend for 4 YEARS.

Stars rising with portions of ecliptic, the so-called paranatellonta, have a central place in traditional astrology.

Does love depend on stars as William Shakespeare seems to believe in the first lines of Romeo and Juliet? Astrologers and initiates think the same. Hermes explains to Asclepius the secret of love and sex. Moon and Venus willingly satisfy men, while the Sun and Mars are allied to women. The Moon favors marriage for men, while [...]

Comets have fascinated people since antiquity, who considered them as a sign for future events. They could be for the good if Venusian or Jupiterian comets – and here it’s easy to think to Julius Caesar’s star, but more often they were malefic in nature, of Mars and Saturn nature. Some say in fact that Electra seeing [...]
