Mundane astrology

Mundane astrology applies astrological symbolism to collective life – from countries and political events to social movements and periods of wider change.

Mundane astrology is the branch of astrology concerned with collective rather than primarily individual affairs.

Instead of focusing on one person’s birth chart, mundane astrologers may examine countries, governments, political developments, social movements, economic conditions and major public events.

What does mundane astrology explore?

Mundane astrology can be used to explore broader patterns of change affecting communities, nations and societies.

Astrologers working in this area may study planetary cycles, charts associated with countries or institutions, and charts calculated for significant public events.

Different astrological traditions approach mundane astrology in different ways, and interpretations can vary considerably between practitioners.

Sister Palm

  • I specialize in predictive time-telling techniques and traditional astrology. Each reading starts with a basic chart analysis, including a quick rectification to assure birth time is correct. The client is encouraged to ask any questions, either about the formation of their chart, what it means, future events, etc.. We establish the "chart driver(s)" which help to signify timing. Usually we look at a few months to a year ahead.

  • I start by identifying the client's purpose for the consultation so I can focus on their specific needs and tailor my approach. Depending on their needs, I can look at their natal chart, transits, the solar return chart, progressed chart, annual profections, and zodiacal releasing periods. My goal with each reading is to make sure the client walks away feeling hopeful, cared for, and satisfied.

  • I am an evolutionary astrologer with a psychological bent. I am looking at the chart as an aspirational map for the client. Every planet presents a spectrum of energy available to the client. We decide in where we place the needle on the spectrum. If we are able to consciously understand our unconscious reactions, we make better decisions for our to help us to fulfill our mission in this life. But we are human. Everyone learns through trial and error as we go, so no shame attached to our less effective choices. There will always be another chance to address our planetary energies differently. I believe that there is nothing in the chart that is not necessary for our soul growth. In the words of Carl Jung, we are handed a map to this life that fits us perfectly. He wrote :”We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like …wine, we have the qualities of the year and season in which we have been born.”

  • My approach to readings is that we must start with a rectified chart. Then we can look at the chart to see your strengths and the areas that need more work. I don't believe in sugar-coating things because if it is going to snow, you need to know that mukluks will be necessary, so you don't go out in a bathing suit.
