Notes from building a kinder, sharper astrologer.
"Why You Keep Attracting the Same Type"
"'I keep dating the same person in different bodies.' If that's you, your birth chart can show exactly why — and which placements are writing the pattern. Here's how to read it, and how to change it."
"Venus & Jupiter: The Vedic Significators of Love and Marriage"
In Vedic astrology, two planets carry the whole story of love and marriage — Venus, the karaka of romance and the spouse, and Jupiter, the karaka of the husband and of blessing. Here's how to read them.
"The 12th House in Synastry: Soul, Secrets, and the Unseen"
The most mysterious overlay of all. When planets fall in the 12th house, a relationship reaches the parts of you no one sees — profound, dreamlike, and asking for consciousness. Here's how to read it.
"The 10th House in Synastry: The Couple Who Build Something"
The 4th house makes a relationship feel like home; the 10th makes it visible to the world. Here's what it means when your planets land in each other's house of ambition, status, and public life.

"The 4th House in Synastry: Where a Relationship Feels Like Home"
Romance lives in the 5th house and partnership in the 7th — but the feeling of belonging, of building a home together, lives in the 4th. Here's what it means when your planets land there.
"The 11th House in Synastry: Are You Also Friends?"
The longest-lasting couples tend to share one quiet thing — they genuinely like each other. In astrology that friendship, plus a shared vision of the future, lives in the 11th house.
"Long-Distance Love: What the Chart Says About the Miles"
Some couples wither apart; others stay close across an ocean. Astrology won't tell you whether long-distance will 'work' — but it does show the exact tools you each bring to the gap. Here's how to read them.
