Make sure you go outside tonight just after sunset, and you will be able to see the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in the sky. It is a really good opportunity for some observational astrology and astronomy.

Wow, the astrocartography rumor really is true. Someone has registered a trademark for the word in France and has a pending application for the entire EU. They are now sending out cease and desist letters to multiple astrologers and teachers claiming ownership of it. That is super gross.

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Linda Goodman passed away in 1995 during the middle of an eclipse season, and the New York Times ran an obituary for her the day after a solar eclipse in Scorpio.

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

After the massive success of Sun Signs, Linda Goodman was paid a $2.25 million advance for her 1978 followup book Love Signs. At the time this was the highest advance ever paid for any book in publishing history.

161

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Linda Goodman's Sun Signs book was the first astrology book to ever reach the The New York Times Best Seller list in 1968, and the only other book to reach that list was Chani Nicholas' book You Were Born for This in 2020.

152

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Linda Goodman is the highest selling astrology book author of all time, with her books selling 30 million copies by the time she died in 1995, and upwards of 60 million today.

We are currently having a recurrence of both of those alignments, with the Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction that went exact in April, right as a new major outbreak of the Hantavirus began happening in the world.

0111

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

The Hantavirus first became recognized during a major outbreak in the Korean War in the early 1950s, which coincided closely with a Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Later, the virus was officially named and categorized under two Mars-Saturn conjunctions in 1980 and 1982.

Uranus moves into Gemini today for the next 7 years. This happens every 84 years, and historically has coincided with the three most important wars in US history: the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and WWII. It is no surprise then that the US began a new war recently...

I'm looking for examples of what happens in a person's life when a transit to a birth chart placement goes exact within one degree. Example: the day Mars squared my IC, a major leak started in the ceiling of my home. If you have a good one give me a brief synopsis in response to this post!

I trace the origins of midpoints in astrology back to two students of Placidus, who first introduced the technique in the 17th century: youtu.be/EfFK61RenOg

Her work was characterized by her rigorous and academic approach to traditional astrology, and her unapologetic attitude towards following her heart and interests even when it set her apart helped to shape the astrological community into what it is today.

Lee was also one of the few openly gay astrologers in a time when it was not yet as easy or accepted to be in the astrological community.

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

She had a long list of accolades in our community, such as winning a Regulus award, being the first horary astrologer to win the Marc Edmund Jones Award, and being involved in a leadership capacity in different organizations.

1231

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Her 2002 book The Martial Art of Horary Astrology is still a particularly brilliant work on Renaissance style horary.

1251

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

I first learned horary from Lee at Kepler College, where she was deeply involved as a dean and instructor in their degree program. That's why the main episode I did on horary, episode 116 of The Astrology Podcast, was with Lee.

Chris Brennan @chrisbrennan.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Astrologer Lee Lehman passed away yesterday. Lee was one of the pioneers in the early revival of traditional astrology, from the mid-1980s onward. She was particularly well-known for her work on horary astrology, which she helped to re-popularize in the United States.

The Mercury-Mars conjunction today is the fourth in a rare series of five conjunctions, a cluster that only forms every 15-17 years. The most notable recent example was in 2008/09 when the Global Financial Crisis hit, which was itself an exact 79-year repetition of when this same series...

The retrograde Mercury-Mars conjunction in Pisces is coinciding with an escalating conflict over the closure of shipping lanes due to the war, and the ripple effects that has on the global economy.

Yeah it is really weird, I did a double take when I first noticed. There is something similar with the Leo-Aquarius series.

Tonight's eclipse in Virgo is part of a series of eclipses that started in 2024 and will last until early 2027, marking a period of major endings and new beginnings in both world events and in our personal lives, particularly in the Virgo-Pisces sectors of our birth chart.
