On Reading a Chart

I have been looking at a lot of astrology charts, and reading for a lot of people this past several months. While I’ve been doing that, there is another part of me that is sitting up in observer position and just watching the process. Here’s what I’m finding out about how I read.

I think of a chart as a tuning device – hand me a chart and you’ve said something like, check out this radio station – 97.6, KAYZ – so I go to my radio and tune to those letters, do a bit of fiddling with the fine tuning… and in comes the music. Continue reading “On Reading a Chart”

Welcome to my blog

It’s good for you, to come right in…

Welcome to my blog, … I guess.

This blog is all about my making sense of the world using the model and world view of astrology.

As to who I am… Charlie Obert, long time student of astrology and things occult. After many years of studying astrology on my own, and reading charts for friends, circumstances seem to be conspiring for me to come out, and be more public and available.

This feels appropriate, because I find astrology becoming my primary model of the world as I get older. Astrology is no longer an area of interest I pick up and then put down like a book; it has become a permanent way of viewing the world and making sense of it.

Do I feel professional? No, I feel like a student of astrology; hence the name of this blog.
