Black Hole Gateways
Thank you for spending the hour in deep space with me. Everything from the talk is here: the positions, the method for finding them, and the charts we read together.
A black hole contact marks a place in your chart where the usual rules loosen. That can feel like losing your footing. It is also where something genuinely new gets in. Set a tight orb, find your contacts, then watch what your transits do with them.
Find your gateways
Enter a placement from your chart — a planet, an angle, a progressed position — and see every black hole within orb. Add a birth date and the positions are calculated for that year rather than for today.
How to work with them
- Start with the supermassive black holes. They carry the most weight.
- Keep orbs tight. One degree or less.
- Look for conjunctions and parallels of declination.
- Add your progressed planets. They are keys too.
- Watch transits. Transits turn the key and unlock what the placement holds.
Your natal and progressed placements are the keys. Transits turn them. When a collective transit lands on one of these degrees, read it as a shift in consciousness rather than an event.
Significant black holes
The full list from the talk, in zodiacal order, calculated for 2027. These are extragalactic objects, so precession is the only thing that moves them — about one degree every 72 years. For a natal chart, use the tool above and enter the birth date. Work with a one-degree orb, and check parallels of declination alongside conjunctions.

Anatomy of a black hole
The parts of the diagram, in case you want the vocabulary when you write or teach about this.
- Event horizon
- The boundary. Cross it and nothing returns, not even light.
- Singularity
- The center, where known physics stops describing what happens.
- Accretion disk
- Superheated matter spiraling in, blazing before it disappears.
- Photon sphere
- Where light itself is bent into orbit around the hole.
- Event horizon shadow
- The dark silhouette cast against the light behind it.
- Particle jets
- Energy thrown back out across the galaxy at near light speed.
