The Fixed Stars: Collected Writings
–––97 pp
November 2024
The fixed stars illuminate our sky, beckoning us to look up, to put our dreams in the air, and ponder how our fate is woven into the heaven.
Fixed stars are useful in the way that poetry or myth or art is useful: they are all psychopomps, getting us past the thinking mind to the wisdom of the heart and soul.
Knowing the fixed stars, the soulful source of your life, is enough to change everything. Not only are we connected with the stars, but we can call on them to shift our earthly lives in alignment with our desires and spiritual paths.
Fixed stars are an excuse to lean into your weirdness, your intractability, all the parts of you that “don’t fit” into mundane, earthly society. Rather than being concerned with mere material gain, the stars wish to sow the will of the heavens into your life, even if that strays your life’s unfolding from your plans.
This volume collects over a dozen essays on the stars, many of them updated and revised, to help you understand their majesty and connect with them yourself.
Most of the essays are deep-dives on individual stars or stellar pairings, drawing in all of my years of experience and research to help you feel the whole picture. I’ve included ecliptic degrees so you can see if you have any important placements conjoined the stars mentioned in the book. They are:
- Castor and Pollux, the Twins of Gemini: 20º and 23º Cancer
- Acubens, Cancer the Crab: 14º Leo
- Scheat and Markab, Pegasus Stars: 29º and 23º Pisces
- Rigel, Foot of the God: 17º Gemini
- Murzims, the Talking Dog: 7º Cancer
- Fomalhaut, the Mouth of the Whale: 4º Pisces
- Betelgeuse, the Victorious Warrior: 29º Gemini
- Bellatrix, the Women Warrior: 21º Gemini
- Denebola, the Tail of the Lion: 21º Virgo
- Zosma, the Back of the Lion: 11º Virgo
- Alphard, the Heart of the Hydra: 27º Leo
Additionlly, I’ve written essays on the connection between the decans and the stars as well as one exploring six different “Stars of Mysticism,” or the stellar beings who help you connect with your own spiritual, gnostic ability. The stars discussed in that essay are:
- Vega, Divine Lyre, 15º Capricorn
- Schedar, Seat of the Golden Queen, 8º Taurus
- Fomalhaut, 4º Pisces
- Alkes, Holy Grail, 24º Virgo
- Alcyone, The Light of Insight, 0º Gemini
- Deneb Adige, Tail of the Swan, 5º Pisces
I have been studying the stars for years. In addition to writing these essay, I have been giving fixed star consults since 2020, created fixed star lectures (see here) and am currently writing a book on the Fixed Stars for Weiser/Red Wheel.
This volume contains knowledge on the stars you cannot find anywhere else. May it help build a foundation so they you, too, can find your place in the stars.
