SVRAMAN ASTRO

On February 27th/28th, 2025, we have a New Moon at 9° Pisces . The Sun and the Moon join an already established Pisces stellium, bringing the total to a record 6 planets in the last sign of the zodiac! The Sun and the Moon at 9° Pisces lead the way, followed by Saturn (20°), Mercury (24°), the North Node (27°), and Neptune (28°) – a mega-conjunction stellium that intensifies the Piscean pull to materialize dreams, dissolve boundaries, and step into the unknown. This New Moon in Pisces, with its mystical and otherworldly alignment (Neptune/North Node), reminds us of the call of the mermaid – a force that is both alluring and impossible to ignore.

The Angle Theory The Angle Theory’s premise is that we can understand the 12 houses – including the 8th and the 12th – by starting with what defines them in the first place: the angles ! The Ascendant is where the horizon was rising when you were born, while...

The Astro Butterfly School is excited to announce that our brand new program, “ The 12 Houses – A Journey Through The Natal Chart ” is now open for enrollment . Why focus on the 12 houses? Houses are arguably THE most important pillar of the natal chart for a simple reason: without houses – which give planetary energies the dimension of space – we wouldn’t have natal charts . Of course, we could still talk about global transits, as we do in this newsletter, but without houses, their influence is generic, not personal. Astrology was born when ancient astrologers started tracking planetary movements and advising kings based on eclipses and other celestial events.

It’s one thing to know you’re a Virgo Sun – but a whole other thing to understand how that energy manifests in your life through its placement in a specific house. It’s one thing to...
