Naming & Becoming (Part 2) - A Name Change Is Not Always Reinvention
Many people assume that changing a name is an attempt to become someone else. Yet not every name change is driven by dissatisfaction, reinvention, or a desire to escape the past. In this second article of the Naming & Becoming series, I explore the difference between reinvention and alignment, the role that names play within Chaldean numerology, and why some identity changes emerge not from rejection, but from a sense of completion.
Can Support and Freedom Coexist?
Can support and freedom coexist, or must we choose between them? Drawing upon astrology, numerology, business building, relationships, and personal experience, this article explores a question that has followed me through many areas of life. What if self-reliance is not the final destination, but simply one stage in a larger journey towards creating structures, relationships, and forms of support that allow freedom to flourish?
Naming & Becoming (Part 1) - When Your Name No Longer Fits
Why do human beings place so much importance on names? From marriage and family traditions to stage names, spiritual initiations, and business identities, names seem to carry far more significance than simple labels. In this first article of the Naming & Becoming series, I explore the connection between names, identity, and transformation, and ask what it might mean when a name no longer feels like it fits.
Beyond Sun, Moon, and Rising - The Architecture of a Birth Chart
When I received my first full natal chart in my early twenties, I expected clarity. Instead, I found myself confronted with a series of separate descriptions that never quite fitted together. Over time, this led me to a different question - rather than asking what each placement means in isolation, how does the chart function as a whole? This article explores the planets, angles, chart ruler, and the unfolding nature of the birth chart - examining how astrology may reveal not just personality, but a deeper process of integration, development, and becoming.
The Paradox of Adaptive People
Some of the most adaptable people are surprisingly intolerant of instability in their immediate environment. In this article, I explore the paradox of needing external steadiness to support an internally dynamic mind — and how astrology, numerology, relationships, and environmental coherence may shape our ability to function sustainably.
Writing as a Way of Thinking
Writing has never simply been a method of communication for me. More often, it has been a way of slowing thought down long enough to understand it properly. In this article, I explore the relationship between writing, cognition, astrology, unfinished ideas, long-form thinking, and why I have chosen to use AI as part of my creative process whilst remaining conscious of its wider implications.
Emotional Expression, Suppression, and the Myth of One Healthy Way to Feel
Most people have, at some point in life, experienced being told they are either “too emotional” or “not emotional enough”. But what if human beings are not emotionally designed in the same way at all? Drawing on personal experience, real-world observation, and astrology as a symbolic framework, this article explores the possibility that healthy emotional processing may look very different across different constitutions, nervous systems, and emotional styles.
