The Birth Chart: Understanding the graph, how it works and why it’s an indispensable tool to understand yourself

When I’ve started studying Astrology, I perfectly remember the confusion and the frustration that I felt the very first time I saw a Natal Chart. Doctor Angiolucci, who was introducing me to Astrology, showed me the drawing of a Birth Chart and then he started: – “Do you see? Jupiter is in Leo and in the 8th House so it means that…”– and – “Do you see? The Sun is above the horizon so it means this…”– and – “Do you see? Mercury and Mars are in Square so it means that…” – My face was like: “Ah, of course! Oh yes! Naturally!”, but inside my mind was like: – “Horizon?! Where do you see the horizon?? Strange symbols?? Numbers?? […]

Four “must-read” Astrology books (and why you should do it)

One of the most F.A.Q. from my subscribers is: – Can you give me some advice about Astrology books to read? –  That’s why I’m here today to give you that answer.  Here are 4 “must-read” Astrology books that I suggest you expand your knowledge or even learn new useful things about astrological art. I have to premise that this is not a Top 4. It isn’t a ranking, so the books are listed randomly. To be precise, I made this list starting from the most recent book to the most ancient one. In any case, with this list I don’t want to declare who are the best authors or the best astrologers, neither that they are the best Astrology books […]

2 big misconceptions about Zodiac Signs debunked: Gemini is a double-faced person and Sagittarius is an unfaithful cheater

Unfortunately, Astrology is an art full of misconceptions. They are in almost every topic related to it, and that happens because of 2 main reasons: – a lack of 360˚ knowledge of the esoteric matters and a superficial approach in a matter which would request great depth instead.  So, many “profane astrologers”, as I define them, wrote a lot of “cookie-cutter” books full of oversimplifications and superficial interpretations and that helped in spreading misconceptions everywhere. Of course, one of the fields of Astrology with the most part of misconceptions is the treatment of the 12 Zodiacal Signs and their basic personalities. It’s perfectly normal because the Zodiac Sign is the first, and often the only, thing which interests the mainstream […]

Moon Phases in Astrology: find out your own one and how your Unconscious expresses itself

The first time that Doc. Angiolucci has examined my Natal Chart, I saw him murmuring something like: – Mmmmh… let me check how this Moon is… –, he quickly went to his library, taken a huge book, and started to browse it. I asked him curiously: – Hey doc., what’s that book…? –  He answered: – These are the Ephemerides. I have to check how is your Moon.  –  I checked my Birth Chart, obtained with an online calculator, and it seemed complete in everything. So I asked interrogatively: – But doc… here seems everything ok, moon’s position is clearly visible, even with its precise degrees and… –  Doc. Angiolucci interrupted me: – Oh yes, that says to us its […]

How to identify your own Planet Rulers to find out the strongest traits of your own personality

I remember when I started to attempt interpretations about the Birth Charts of people around me, one of the biggest difficulties was the great confusion in my mind because of the huge amount of information and notions that overwhelmed me. My eyes did not know what to watch first; they did bounce from a Planet to another Planet in the Chart and I was not able to complete an interpretation about something because immediately something else did catch my attention, again and again. I did try to do everything at the same time, every single interpretation, but I did get too many information and all fragmented, so the only result was to find myself disoriented and confused. It was a […]

The 2nd Astrological House: Much more than just your money

One of the most frequent question during the interpretation of a Natal Chart is about money, especially for beginners who attempt to understand their own one. Nothing wrong with this, but issues come often when they focus everything on the 2nd Astrological House, because: – “I heard that it is money” -. Now, the point is that the 2nd House is even about money, but money is just a consequence of the psychological mechanisms ruled by that House. Money could be one of the effects of this House, but we need to know the causes to really understand what kind of effect will manifest. When I was a complete beginner, I believed that the 2nd House was the money itself, […]

The 4 most frequent criticisms that skeptics do about Astrology: Your 4 smart and classy answers to them

Last weekend, I was at a party with friends. At some point, I found myself talking about Astrology with a guy I just met; We’re joking and I told him ironically: – Oh, good! Something tells me that you are a Libra! –  So that guy suddenly answered: – Please… don’t tell me that you believe in Astrology…? Stars are just celestial bodies millions of lightyears distant from us! They cannot influence us, it’s impossible! –  So, I taken a deep breath, I showed my best smile and then I said: – Well, I’m sorry, but you are starting from wrong assumptions, probably because you don’t know the subject. You’re right, stars do not irradiate none “mumbo-jumbo magical force” that […]

Know your Jupiter: Discover its strength and its meanings in your own psyche

When I was young, I was very fascinated by Planet Jupiter, for a simple reason, Jupiter is the Lord of my Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius. When I’ve discovered it, I had no idea about what that meant.

It was the age when, like many other people, I thought that the Zodiac Sign was everything in Astrology. But that event, that simple information, was able to give the impulse to start my journey into Astrology. A question had arose in my mind: – Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter… Jupiter? A planet of the solar system? What does it have to do with me…? –   And so […]

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: Understanding the Collective Unconscious and its role in your personality

When Giulia, a friend of mine and one of my first students, at the beginning of her path started to study the Natal Charts of people around her, the first person she analyzed was her boyfriend. One day, she called me at my cellphone, she was very enthusiastic: – Ehi, I just found out that me and my boyfriend have Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on the same Zodiac Signs! That means we have some traits of our personalities identical, right? There’s affinity! –  Unfortunately, I had calm down her enthusiasm, saying to her that it’s normal having the Trans-Saturnian Planets on the same Signs, because that is a characteristic that she shares with millions of other people on the World.

The Secret of the Aspects: Your Challenges and your Tools to raise your Self-Awareness

The Aspects, together with the Astrological Houses, are the most misunderstood and underrated concepts of the Astrological Knowledge. I remember the big confusion that I’ve felt at the beginning when I’ve tried to understand them. The big issue with the Aspects, is that there are so many wrong and imprecise informations about them, too often even conflicting, scattered around by amateurs and profane astrologers, because of their superficial knowledge of the subject. Very often, they only classify the Aspects as “good” and “bad”, and when you ask to them about the difference between an Opposition and a Square, they say something like: – well, the Opposition is bad, the Square is “less bad”. – Every time I hear that, I don’t […]
