This Agrippa quote sums it up. Magick without astrology does nothing.

They go on to say “illusions and doubts are relative lights and they fall short of what is truly real”.

This book is such a treasure. I love what is written about Al Nūr “in sum anything that makes something manifest is light. Even darkness, which makes things manifest for bats 🦇— or whatever has a faculty of sight similar to bats —is also a light at those levels” pg 439.

These two are fascinating to read side by side. Noga Arikha references Polybus “man was not a unity, not reducible to 1 element or 1 humour; all 4 humours make up the nature of his body” pg 8 and Abū Ma`šar says…

OMGGGG but for real, it’s been quite the journey! 🤣 May we navigate the time safely. Here my SR Asc 😫🩸

Took my talismanic ink process photos/ video clips for my ink tutorial during a Cancer rising election today. 🩸🩸🩸Coming soon, soon, soon! 👀

The Medieval Islamic solar return is both predictive AND prescriptive. Elemental talismans confer blessings & help mitigate some of the bad in the year ahead. Read about the benefits & how I stitched my magic square on canvas using thread soaked in talismanic saffron ink.🩸🩸🩸🩸https://buff.ly/XW5ha8a

Chani was my first intro to Astrology 4 years ago. Time flies when you're having fun.

Sharing my worksheet for prepping nativities. I write more notes on the charts themselves but having a worksheet gives me my basic framework so I don't have to keep going back and forth. I need to look into Obsidian! Currently use Bear App. Its only $3/Mo and I can sync notes on all devices.

Merry Xmas during this ♏️🌙 to all who celebrate.

Finally got my al Raml notes into an Airtable and i am obsessed. Should have done this from the jump instead of trying to read my awful handwriting LOL

As a side note, gotta say how grateful I am with so much growth in my practice and approach with astrology. It has been incredibly satisfying receiving updates from clients on their year ahead & seeing how the predictive methods from the al-Balkhi school hit consistently.

Where there's a printer and a PDF, there is a way LMAO. Excited to more easily read Al Rijal in my native Spanish. I also printed Al Rijal books 4 & 5. Book 6 goes into the annual revolutions, planetary returns and the Firdarias. It's awesome not needing a translation for a change.

Not me having TWO Months of Joy in my next Solar Revolution. I'm reminded of an exchange I had with Dr Olomi on Months of Joy not necessarily being joyous. He said "Joy is more related to blessings, those we can see and those we can't, it aligns us with our fate for our greater good." Full response:
