ASTROLOGY PHILIPPINES

By Angela Fabunan We live in a world very different from the years preceding this one. We now live in a world struggling to survive the deaths, the sickness, and the chaos that came hand-in-hand with the global COVID-19 pandemic. In this confusing world where there are so many questions and no final answers, how can the science, the study, and the practice of astrology help to alleviate these worries?   On May 17 , Astrologer Resti Santiago conducted the Bounce Back Astrology webinar, a two-part series along with Astrology Forecast & Choices seminar. In these two seminars, he referred to both Greco-Western astrology as well the Eastern Feng Shui method of analysis.   Astrology is a good mediator of fate and freedom. On the one hand, it gives us a blueprint in  which certain predictions can be made due to the placement of the planets, as well as calculations on our birth chart. On the other hand, it gives us time to plan ahead and change these outcomes.   The...

 By Llean Joie Bautista Our understanding of the world first began as an attempt to make sense of it. In a time where science was not yet concrete and mathematics was only starting to lay foundations, humans viewed the world through the lens of mysticism and magic. Ancient civilizations have been known to worship deities, gods and goddesses, creating folklore and other stories on the origin of the world that is centered on their beliefs and on those they worship. All of this was done in an attempt to understand how the world functions. Let’s face it, the world is complex and deeply intricate, and we have barely scratched the surface in understanding how anything truly works. Our understanding of the world and the universe, vast as it may seem, is not nearly enough to create the full picture of its complete functionality. The world is a vast pool of mysteries. And while we may have immersed ourselves in the shallows, its depth is still a mystery awaiting to be solved. Nowadays, myst...

By Evan Velasquez The Curious Child I had always been curious about my zodiac sign, even taking pride about how I am a Scorpio (Sun sign). I still vividly remember as a child that I would always borrow the morning newspaper just to check what’s written for Scorpios that day, as well as my parents’ zodiac signs just to ‘confirm’ if it resonates with them. Little did I know it was just the very tip of the iceberg.    My First Natal Chart Reading   When I had my first reading done, it was a time in my life where I felt directionless and anxious about what path I should take. I knew for myself that I needed change, but did not know exactly how I should go about the transformation I was looking for. It was February of 2017, when the Sun was in Aquarius, which meant that it was transiting my 9th house of beliefs, higher learning, long distance travels, and anything foreign, when I had my first ever Natal chart reading. It was done in Vedic, and at that time I thought it...

  Bongbong Marcos. Image from Wikipedia By Carlota Elauria With contribution of Derrick Jan Lim June 7, 2018   Bongbong Marcos has been in the public eye in recent times, most prominently due to the controversy surrounding his highly-disputed loss in the race for Vice President of the Philippines in the 2016 Elections. With the petition still pending in the Supreme Court, his fate currently hangs in the balance. However, another burning question looms beyond the horizon: will BBM one day sit in Malacanang Palace, under the seal of President of the Philippines? His supporters might beam in hope and anticipation at the thought, while his detractors might yell “nay!” in fear and trepidation. To answer this question, we delve into the study of his natal chart, the transiting planets, and his career history. Upon such investigation, the authors have divided the possibilities into three periods: (1) the present until 2022 via President Duterte’s term; (2) the 2022-2028 Pre...
