Also there are articles here on all aspects of astrology from asteroids to zero. Most of them are written by me, Christina Rodenbeck, astrologer and writer, expert and enthusiast. There are a handful of outstanding guest posts though, which I highly recommend.

Leo Self-Portraits

Cancer Self-portraits
“I don’t draw like nobody. You speak one way, but I come on and say it different. You can draw a mule, dog, cat, or a human person, I’m going to draw it different. Because you always see things different.” — Nellie Mae Rowe, Cancerian artist Rubens June 28, 1577 [...]
