FAQ

How can a planet that is so far away influence my life?

The answer to this question is rooted in quantum physics, which has proven that particles existing in the quantum dimension do not operate under the same laws as the physical universe. These dynamics appear to be instantaneous because they move at the speed of light. Your physical body is surrounded by an energy body, which also exists in the quantum dimension and is influenced by the energy dynamics of the planets as they occur, and is not delayed in time by distance the way physical matter is.

Do I have bad luck because of the day I was born?

No. You were born on that day because it had the planetary pictures that best expressed your inner energy and consciousness. What we call bad luck is a result of how we handle these energies. Our good luck comes from the adjustment of using these energies in a positive way.

I am a Cancer and my cousin is a Cancer, and we are so different—how can that be?

You were born a Cancer just like your cousin, which means that you have the sun position in your chart in common. However, there are nine other significant planets in your charts and these are most likely in completely different positions, which would explain the differences between your personalities. Astrology is an in-depth analysis of many aspects of your character, nature, personality, life purpose, traits, gifts, and inclinations.

What is the real answer to that old debate between destiny and free will?

What I can answer is that we have a little of both of those things. There is a pre-destined, fixed blue print or script that we must follow because that is what our soul has agreed to work on in this life. The way in which we work on that requires us to consciously use and develop our free will. What we do with what we have. But we cannot change what we have, the day we were born, the family we were born into, the talents we have, etc. But we can use, to the best of our ability, whatever we have—and that is where we choose to use our free will to make a dream or a nightmare.

Is it true that people who have Mars and Pluto in their chart are bad and violent? Do those planets make us violent?

Mars is the energy of action, aggression, and getting what I want. It is the archetype of the warrior. Pluto is the higher octave of Mars, which means it is even more intense in its energy of aggression, control, and violence. Also, Pluto includes not only the energy of a single person, but the energy of a whole group of people who choose to be violent towards and controlling of others.

Let’s look at an example of five individual people who each have strong Mars and Pluto energy but are using it with different intentions. The first person uses these energies to attack and assault people with a knife, to cut them and make them bleed, and to live a life of violent crime. The second person also uses a knife to cut flesh, but as a butcher in a supermarket, they use the energy of violence in a productive way to serve a purpose. The third person uses these energies to have a very aggressive career as a football player, using cuts and blows as part of a game with no intention to destroy others. The fourth person is a plastic surgeon who cuts to reconstruct and to transform. And finally we have a person who uses the highest form of these energies to be a healer of mental and physical illness, and who no longer needs a knife, but uses the spiritual energy of alchemy to transform lead into gold.

We can learn to use all energies well no matter what they are. We cannot change the position of the planets we were born with, but we can change the level at which we express their energy.

Why are twins who were born within minutes of each others so different?

The first thing to consider is that they have the same chart but they have different souls and they are using the energies according to their consciousness and life purpose. There is a system of astrological research called Draconic astrology that goes into the deeper understanding of each chart, and shows in detail the differences between twins.

What are the most important positions of a natal chart?

The Sun because it reflects the essence, the sprit, the light of a person. The Moon because it reflects the emotional life. And the Ascendant because it is your personality and physical body, which most of us identify most strongly with, and can mask the trails of our sign.
