Everyday Magic

A rule of thumb in horary astrology seems to be to get to the judgment by the most direct route possible. There are enough planets and houses to give you all the relevant details. Spinning out looking at the twelfth parts of the contrantiscia of the significators is just going to get you lost.

I was trained so well by this rule that I feel like I’m doing something wrong when I occasionally end up delineating every single planet in the chart instead of just the ones needed to render judgment.

But what can I say? Sometimes they describe the querent’s situation so beautifully! When that happens, I find it’s important testimony to the fact that the chart is radical at all, which feels like it would help some people. The more of the story they can see in the sky, the easier it is to believe.

My penchant for finding lost objects takes this principle to another level, though.

It is bizarre enough to still be finding new things I’m good at, but for one of them to be remotely finding people’s lost items using outer space magic is…

Well, it’s a little bit “why wasn’t I around anyone who could tell me this was possible 25 years ago,” honestly.

There is some religious voice who wants me to feel bad about doing lost objects, like it’s some kind of “low magic,” but I do not dignify such priestly bullshit with my consideration.

Only a human voice cut off from Source would cast such aspersions.

I am being shown where these objects are in order to awaken their owners and innocent bystanders to the awesome mystery that their lives consist of, and I know of no higher magical purpose than that.
