Whether angular, succedent, or cadent, the HOUSES in your astrological chart have everything to do with WHERE things show up in your life. But not all houses are the same! They each represent a very specific territory in your life… and they also have a different level of significance in terms of how it FEELS when things happen in these particular areas for you.

But first: CONVOS I’VE HAD SINCE THE LAST BONBLAST! Nah… I’m not gonna share ALL the convos. I just noticed some really cool things happening and — in light of the world doing all the worlding it’s been up to — I decided to share a little bit o’ that goodness, plus some inspo you may enjoy, plus a really good reason to check out…
Astrology doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Understanding your chart starts with this basic Chart Harmony formula. The planet is the WHAT. The sign is the HOW. The house is the WHERE. Example: A Venus in Leo in the 11th House (Bonnie Gillespie) = all the loving and valuing and beautifying is done in a very grand, heart-centered, public way specifically in broader communities and in…
Ah, April 2025… it’s finally time to get the preview we’ve been building toward in LOTS of ways. So far in 2025, we’ve had a LOT of activity. A LOT of planets experiencing retrograde, out-of-bounds, and being in signs they *really* struggle with. Oh, and those eclipses that just kicked our bootays. Those were fun, huh? We are now officially DONE with the Aries/Libra axis…
Why does astrology HATE me? ⚠ Why are these eclipses so bad? ⚠ Why does retrograde suck? (I hear these questions a lot. Of course, I assume folks are being hyperbolic… but just in case, please know: Astrology doesn’t hate you. Retrogrades don’t suck. Eclipses… yeah, they can be pretty bad. In ancient times, all sorts of evil was foretold by eclipses… so, I’ll let…
Over at our awesome Chart Harmony Discord, I get asked questions. Recently, one of ’em was about how very dehydrating the eclipses tend to be… and “is this legit?” So, of course, I got to answering it in such a way that it should be its own whole blog post! I just uploaded a teach on “How to know the IMPACT any particular woo weather…
Here’s my Chart Harmony POV on the astrological concept called essential dignity. Think of it as “Chart Privilege” — some signs are more welcoming to certain planets than others. When the planets show up in the signs they rule, all is well. Those planets have everything they need to do what they’re meant to do in our lives. But when the planets go through signs…
Here’s my Chart Harmony POV on the astrological foundation called “The Big 3.” I like to put your natal Sun-Moon-Rising into a car together so they can head out on a roadtrip that takes you all through your life! Here’s a quickie! And here’s a deep-dive, should you like to do a little work-along with me. For more delicious wonderfulness, head over here and let’s…
Over at our loving little Chart Harmony Discord, I get asked questions. Recently, the conversation turned to the ways in which astrology plays into the transgender experience, transphobia and bigotry, and feeling safe along the courageous journey our trans friends must navigate. Specifically, we started looking under the hood of these bizarre folks who get SO tweaked about all this when it has NOTHING to…
In my Jupiter-in-Gemini write-along, I was asked for advice on something I’m *really* great at doing: GETTING BACK AT IT. Specifically, the question was about how to get back at it when you’ve taken an extended break from your writing, your creative project, whatever you were working on but stopped working on for whatever reason. Inertia is real. And it’s a beast. So, I’ve got…
