practical insight from the heavenly spheres
Join Mel for Daytime Darkness: The Astrology of Eclipses on July 12, 2023 at 4pm MT.
2023’s eclipses mark a shift from the Taurus-Scorpio axis to Aries-Libra. Several main geopolitical events that began in 2022 will conclude this year, while a new set of events are about to begin.
November’s Full Moon in Taurus is also a lunar eclipse in exact conjunction with Uranus and opposite Mercury and Venus. Things are going to get really shaken up but maybe we will get some kind of technological breakthrough.
Mel went back on Nightbird Radio to talk about the autumn 2022 eclipses, as well as eclipse mythology, remediation, geopolitcs and people born on eclipses. We also explore some preliminary thoughts on the astrology of 2023.
The autumn 2022 eclipses are significant in the charts of Russia, Ukraine, Zelensky, King Charles and the British Royal Family.
There are a few useful astrological remediation techniques to mitigate the negative effects of solar and lunar eclipses, including hiding from eclipse light, cleansing, prayer and fasting.
Planetary charity is a form of astrological remediation and planetary magic to help afflicted planets in your natal chart.
2025 is the second-most astrologically active year of the current decade, after 2020 itself. Join Mel as she takes a look at what’s coming in the year ahead, which promises to be a wild ride. We’ll start by taking a look at the major astrological transits of the decade to gain a broader perspective, then zoom in on some of the specifics of 2025 itself.
Annual profections are a simple yet powerful timing technique in traditional natal astrology. Using this technique, you can identify the specific planets and houses that will be activated for any given year, and therefore learn which themes and events might manifest during that time period. This presentation teaches you how to calculate annual profections and apply them to natal charts.

Twin charts present a particularly fascinating challenge for astrologers. Twelfth parts (also known as dwadasamsas/dwads or dodecatemoria) are a simple and surprisingly effective technique that yields useful results when applied to twin charts. You can use this technique for any natal chart, no need to be a twin! This presentation is a recording of a weinbar presented to OPA on July 16, 2023.
