    ° For Chinese Animal Astrology

    Chinese Fortune Calendar

    ° For Numerology

    Dan Millman’s calculator

  • influences

    One of my great influences has been the late Dane Rudhyar. So often, when I dig at personal theories bubbling up and search to see if there’s already insight around them, Rudhyar has something that touches in the same direction as my train of thought. “The Moon’s Nodes at Birth” is one of his articles that helped me when I was trying to dive deeper into the lunar nodes and the soul.

    Signs of the Times by Robert FitzGerald was a big influence and aligned beautifully with the astrological frameworks I was piecing together. FitzGerald’s theories around cycles of time felt spot on. His views on cyclical patterns also confirmed (and helped me further develop) ideas about soul cycles.

    Arielle Guttman is another astrologer whose influence resonated with how I think about planets in astrology. Her insights added credence to the way planets go on journeys and have deeper meanings through their cosmic rhythms and sacred geometry (in her case, Venus). The Venus Star Point is a good book by her to start with.
