Comparison I discovered yesterday that my mother and father both have the same progression cycle: at the moment, they are one year away from Progressed Moon conjunct Progressed Sun. Both are experiencing a phase of life where they are throwing away many things and clearing out the old to make way for the new, asContinue reading “Secondary Progression”
Australian Shame
I’m becoming more and more certain as I engage in my second degree that Australia, the white side of the society, is deeply ashamed of itself and rightly so. This would explain the way many Australians are assimilating into American culture: by divesting themselves of their brutal and hypocritical past and aligning themselves with theContinue reading “Australian Shame”
Dispossession, Mining & Technologies
This essay argues that the dispossession of native peoples around the globe originates within the worldview of the colonial empires of western Europe. This worldview underpins globalisation and continues impacting human lives and natural ecosystems. In Australia, one clear example of this worldview in practice is mining: one tentacle of globalised industry. The result forContinue reading “Dispossession, Mining & Technologies”
Pluto Transit Midheaven
Pluto symbolises the termination of something, its disintegration, and that thing’s recomposition. The Ninth is what we know about the world, the Tenth our place in the world based on our comprehension, and the MC what we stand for and what component we are in society. Everything attempted until this transit falls apart as theContinue reading “Pluto Transit Midheaven”
Universal Control
No lag. At all. For all the non-tech and non-Apple users who may read this, let me explain. Since Jobs unveiled MobileMe a very long time ago, the idea of linking all your data and devices together disturbed the ‘people’ at Microsoft, RIM, Motorola, Samsung and Nokia: ‘How could this even be possible?’ they wailed,Continue reading “Universal Control”
Wishful Thinking
‘Oh, it was meant to be.’‘It was destiny.’‘It happened according to fate.’ Or, worst of all:‘It is God’s will.’ In a conversation about the types of people ‘we bring into our lives’, I realised that this phrase is loaded with ignorance. Ignorance of psychology and ignorance of social identification. Earlier, I was accused of ‘choosing’Continue reading “Wishful Thinking”
Design and Popularity
How devices are designed has more to do with the vision which contextualises that design: difficult to use hardware and irritating software convey little vision or little talent to manifest a big vision. When Blackberry released their messaging system, it was based on the vision of easy texting. Android was updated in 2009-2011 based onContinue reading “Design and Popularity”

Naturally Sexual
Below are analysed some issues regarding sexuality. Off the top of my head, there are many studies from psychology, sociology, neurology and et cetera which clearly indicate that sexuality can not be categorised as only heterosexual or homosexual: gender and sexuality and identity interact and form a tapestry of human experience. There are many religionsContinue reading “Naturally Sexual”
Eddie Mabo and Legal Doctrine
Global White and the Mabo Case I recognise Indigenous custom and inheritance of the land. I recognise the British Crown has no legal sovereignty over the lands and islands of Australia. Australian culture presents as friendly, fair and free, yet this quickly dissipates when inspecting Australia’s historical and current treatment of its non-white citizens, in particularContinue reading “Eddie Mabo and Legal Doctrine”
