A trine of 120 is fabulous – divine harmony. And if the angular distance between two planets is 90 degrees, that’s a square, which predicts obstacles. If a planet is out of bounds in declination – that’s to say, above or below 23 degrees – then it’s acting a bit rogue. Look – these are the planets, and these values here represent their distance from the earth’s equator at a given time. S: The planetary information comes from NASA, but every astrologer uses this book, it’s called an ephemeris, which is a table of the path of the planets by accurate scientific degree. P: How do you create your astrological charts? That’s why the millennials are so upset – their expectations were through the roof, and now it’s their parents who are paying their rent. People usually start reading me at 25, because that’s when you begin to encounter grown-up problems: you want to buy a house or have a baby you have to get a good job or get married and are looking for guidance.

The way I write, the readers will come back.” And of course, in five months I was up to a million page views. When I went to meet the webmaster of their Pathfinder site, I was told, “We’d like something short for women, every day,” and my response was, “No, it should be for men and women, and it should be every month. S: Five hundred when we launched in 1995! But you know, that was a condition of my contract with Time Warner. P: When I started editing a website in 2001, I was told nobody would read anything longer than 800 words. I have to stay up day and night to get them finished. This month I wasn’t done until the 25th, which was terrifying. I have to be done on the 20th of the month to get them edited and posted in time for the 1st. It takes me twice as long to write difficult news, since I have to really check that I’m right.

Your horoscope for my sign – I’m a Leo – ran to 3,385 words on Astrology Zone this month. P: I notice you’re a fan of long form in general.
