Outer Planets in the News
Ohio Astrology13 May 2012 | 10:22 amThe outer planets are the planets past Saturn – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These planets are far and revolve around the sun in 80- to 200-plus year increments so they represent generational energies. These planets are “the times” we live in. The New York Times stories of Saturday, May 12 influenced this blog. URANUS IN ARIES Uranus began its transit of Aries in March 2011. Uranus brings sudden events from learning your spouse is cheating to enlightenment itself. Aries is the first sign of zodiac, a fire sign, interested in self-assertion. Uranus in Aries has brought uprisings and sudden… -
Pluto in Capricorn by Generation
Ohio Astrology15 May 2012 | 5:06 amWhenever a planet transits a sign, that sign and its polarity are directly affected. For example, right now Mars is in Virgo. Mars provides assertive energy. So your keep-a-list Virgo friends are now keeping ten lists. The opposite sign Pisces is being forced from the opposing Mars in Virgo to keep a list, stick to it and show up on time, all things that are difficult for the dreamy, otherworldly Pisces. Pluto in Capricorn Pluto is currently transiting Capricorn and will be for the next 15-20 years. Capricorn sun individuals will find themselves at the other end of a black hole when the… -
The Astrologer Daily: May 16th, 2012
The Astrologer by Kelli Fox16 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer The Moon's in move-ahead Aries today. As it unites with energized Uranus, a streak of rebellion and doing it your own way comes to the forefront. Accomplishment is the name of the game. Not only because of the willful Aries Moon but also because of the connective trine between assertive Mars and probing Pluto. There's energy available to create something powerful or do something that has great meaning. A tense alignment between expansive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn delivers an essential lesson. It serves as a reminder of the importance of finding balance… -

Venus Retrograde in Gemini: A Forecast for All 12 Signs
13 May 2012 | 10:00 amCredit: ariwasabi via iStockphotoRestless, flirty Venus in Gemini will be taking things more seriously for the next six weeks. From May 15 to June 27, she’ll be moving backwards (retrograde). This reverse motion is an optical illusion, but its effect on relationships is very real. Venus’s energy will be slowed down and internalized. You may experience this (depending on where Venus retrograde hits your chart) as a re-evaluation of your love life. Venus retrograde is also notorious for bringing up past (karmic) relationships. This will be a time for tidying up loose ends or… -

You’ve been trying to get your life into some kind of smooth forward momentum, only to be delayed by one planetary retrograde after another. Messenger Mercury and activist Mars took you on a backwards trip, and now love goddess Venus gets in on the act.Whenever a planet goes into retrograde phase, we inevitably turn within for wisdom, and look back for clues.

Sun in Aries, Moon in Virgo Compatibility
11 May 2012 | 4:00 amThis is one of the more challenging Sun/Moon combinations. Aries impatiently pushes the limits, while Virgo carefully analyzes them. However, this couple does share the relentless need to move forward, albeit for very different reasons.Sun in Aries charges forward with spontaneous enthusiasm. He needs perpetual motion; active relationships keep him vital and engaged. His low boredom threshold and high tolerance for risk mean that he’ll push himself (and his partner). Sun in Aries would rather act than think or discuss. Primal impulses fuel him, and higher reasoning shuts down when he…

Astrology Today: May 16, 2012 – Taking Your Venus Temp
15 May 2012 | 6:00 pmThe Moon squares Pluto exact during the day (see Astrology Today for May 15) but moves out on its own, within its comfort zone, later in the day. The intense influence passes but leaves its invigorating mark on the mood. Toward the end of the day, late night on the eastern coast of the Americas, sunset for the west, is when retrograde Venus and retrograde Saturn make their exact trine.

New Moon On Sunday
15 May 2012 | 4:09 pmThis brings to mind an old Duran Duran song which I do not find personally pleasant (“Please, please, kill me now…”). However, this is not just an ordinary new moon as it is in orb of conjunction with one of the Moon’s nodes, a solar eclipse. This eclipse squeeks under the five degree wire by minutes and can be seen in some areas, but NASA does not classify it as technically total from any vantage point on Earth.

Introduction (And A Look Back) At Saturn In Scorpio
15 May 2012 | 11:30 amI’ve got quite a bit of Capricorn in my chart. Consequently there has always a lot of focus on Saturn on this blog. Slews of posts about Saturn in Libra. Slew of posts about Saturn in Virgo. I expect to do the same with Saturn in Scorpio and I am starting to think about this now. Saturn in Scorpio will be in mutual reception to Pluto in Capricorn during this transit. This has got to be a real boon to anyone willing to work (Saturn) with dark energy (Scorpio), or anyone who wants to come to terms with their shadow and deal with reality, even it’s putrid.

Falling In Love

I came to this conclusion myself at one point, and I lived in total acceptance of this fact for a number of years. I saw that others experienced true love in their life and I just thought I would be doing something else. I thought I had some other calling or purpose, I guess. I turned out to be wrong and there are a lot of stories out there like mine. (...)Read the rest of Falling In Love (129 words) 30 comments -

Weekly Forecast May 14: Venus Retrograde, New Moon Eclipse in Gemini
13 May 2012 | 11:30 pmStar falling into a black hole. Credit: NASA, S. Gezari (The Johns Hopkins University), and J. Guillochon (University of California, Santa Cruz). The portal is open. The info is going back and forth fast and furiously this week, as Venus turns retrograde in Gemini and a solar eclipse takes place in the sign of communications. Some of the synchronicities are astounding, and even the breakdowns seem to be part of the greater plan. More than ever, it’s important that you know where you’re headed, even if you don’t know how you’re going to get there. The “how”… -
Weekly Forecast May 7: Mercury in Taurus, Sun Conjunct Jupiter
6 May 2012 | 8:08 pmOur friendly neighborhood Taurus. © Pat Paquette, 2012. As of this week, we’ve entered a tense, highly charged period that includes two eclipses, Venus retrograde, a rare transit of Venus across the Sun, and the first exact square of Uranus and Pluto. In the long-anticipated year of 2012, May and June are the two most volatile months. Indeed, it’s hard to predict much of anything, least of all what we want and need. You may think you want one thing or that you should go in a certain direction, only to change your mind ten minutes later. People with major fixed sign signatures… -
Venus, Vulcan, and The Inner Journey of Taurus, Part II
5 May 2012 | 2:45 amVulcan Presenting Venus with Arms for Aeneas, by Francois Boucher, 1757. Desire is the force of the form in nature; will is the energy of the soul expressing itself as direction, progress, and conformity to the [Divine] Plan. ~ The Tibetan1 In Patanjali’s description of the five energy bodies2 we can see that the bliss body is the closest to our ultimate spiritual goal of “universal mind” and so is considered a very powerful (and dangerous) path to enlightenment. Tantric practice is based on the transformation of blissful energy into the path. But this path is fraught with danger, in… -
Weekly Forecast April 30: Full Moon in Scorpio
29 Apr 2012 | 8:09 pmThis week is the Scorpio Full Moon, which means it’s the festival of Wesak, honoring the birth, death, and enlightenment of the Buddha. Wesak is a major “download” time, when a portal opens to higher consciousness. I don’t know how many more open portals I can stand. As it is, we’re marching toward an extraordinary alignment of the Sun, Moon, Earth, and Venus on June 4 and 5, which I believe will trigger a giant leap forward in the evolution of human consciousness. Then there are the solar flares and corresponding disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field. -
Venus, Vulcan, and the Inner Journey of Taurus, Part I
28 Apr 2012 | 6:05 pmVulcan Presenting Venus with Arms for Aeneas, by Francois Boucher, 1757. Taurus season is upon us once again, bringing with it the energy of desire as it works through form. After the initial pulse of life in Aries, desire in Taurus becomes the driving force in shaping what form life will take. Will we forge ahead driven by our egoic desires and wishes? Or will we align with divine will and shape our primordial life-force energy into spiritual path and purpose? Taurus, the sign of the bull, is associated with steadfastness, material possessions, beauty (especially in physical forms), art,…

Decommissioning Pluto
19 Apr 2012 | 7:17 amWith each passing degree of arc through which Pluto moves further from his domicile of Scorpio I become a little more convinced that the relationship between Pluto and Scorpio is a conundrum. In many ways we can easily appreciate the symmetry between sign and planet, theoretically at least, but I do not see a generation that expresses Pluto with especial intensity. That said, it might simply be that in this most submerged of constellations, Pluto is remaining hidden and will erupt one day with astonishing force – albeit not overtly astonishing force. I think it was Noel Tyl who so… -
The Player of Games
3 Nov 2011 | 7:46 amWhat you can see here is a diagram of my devising which places the planets in the context of human consciousness. They are calibrated in this way using a specific methodology which has been checked against a number of spiritual perspectives and which (ultimately) feels correct, intuitively at least. I do not wish to make too much noise about where this diagram came from, but I can explain it quite easily. This is especially useful because I have had a few people ask me recently about the Chirotic Awakening, and of course Orcus and Pluto are important topics for any initiate of the… -
The Amateur Pluto-Hunter
1 Nov 2011 | 9:20 amMake no mistake, Pluto is strong stuff. Hard to handle, and while there is much to understand about Pluto and his mechanisms and expositions it is important to remember that the planets do not control us, they cannot ‘make us’ do anything at all, it is only our determination to be the master of our astrology that frees us to be persons of integrity and self-awareness. Pluto is seen as the planet of compulsion for the most part because his energetic frequency is so very base; like Hades, it is well below the surface, in the unconscious murk, and so we have to be very attendant to… -
The Magi of Uranus-Pluto
19 Sep 2011 | 7:03 amMay you live in interesting times! This is an old Chinese curse, although some mistakenly attribute it a blessing. Interesting times are of course, times of change, times of upheaval, times where the old and sedate ways of the world are undergoing transformation. They are, quite simply, Uranus-Pluto times. We live in such times. As a standard-bearer for the Uranus-Pluto in Virgo generation of the late 1960s, I am under no illusions about what it might mean. It means that now, as Pluto squares Uranus for the first time since Hitler rose to the office of Chancellor – indeed, he was sworn… -

McDonald's born today in 1940 - Propelled To Fame under Ray Kroc's Leadership
15 May 2012 | 8:54 amI noticed in Wikipedia's list of notable events for this day, 15 May, that on 15 May 1940 – "McDonald's opens its first restaurant in San Bernardino, California".My feelings about MacDonald's were neutral when I first arrived on these shores. I'd sampled their wares, a BigMac, one time only, when Mac's first opened a store in the town where my parents lived. Mum and Dad were keen to try this new -
Music Monday ~ Wild & Wonderful: Sydney Bechet
14 May 2012 | 8:37 amOn this day in 1897, to a Creole shoemaker and his wife in New Orleans, Sydney Bechet was born. He was surrounded by the music of New Orleans from his first breath. He began playing clarinet around age 6. By the time he was 17 he'd played in many well-known local bands. He later swapped clarinet for soprano-saxophone....he was to become, along with Louis Armstrong first of the great American -

11 May 2012 | 8:25 amSocial and political changes happening in the USA from the mid-1960s into the 1970s affected artists in different ways. One group challenged abstract art and modernism by going in an exactly opposite direction - a return to realism. It wasn't simple realism though, but sharp, highly detailed photo realism or hyper-realism. These artists looked to the ordinary for their subjects, to everyday -
The Rot at the Heart of US Politics & Elections

He's well-known and much-respected as a naturalist and is an ever-enthusiastic broadcaster.

Astrology and Astronomy
26 Apr 2012 | 1:10 pmAstronomers can be very snidey and dismissive of astrology because it doesn't fit neatly into their scientific parameters, and can't be "proved". Yet astrology and astronomy were originally twin sciences and were studied side by side at the great European universities in the middle ages. Up until the 17th century the two subjects were two sides of the same coin, astronomy being more scientific and astrology more philosophical.Any astrologer who has undergone formal training in the subject will have also had to learn some astronomy and at the very least be able to understand how a birth chart… -

I was trying to make sure that the blog could withstand a large increase in traffic, but I was also trying to beef up security, in order to try to avoid getting hacked since a lot of attention would be directed to the blog once the interview came out. At one point during the course of the week I installed some new security software that was designed to provide better protection against people who are trying to guess the… -

In the movie the main character is on a mission to disprove astrology by comparing his experience of a specific day with that of three other people who were born at the same time. There is a more detailed synopsis of the film and a trailer in the previous article that I wrote about Five Star Day. I got a chance to see the movie recently and I was really impressed by the way that it… -
New Blog on Saturn Returns
2 Nov 2011 | 7:51 amI recently launched a new blog dedicated to Saturn returns called Saturn Return Stories. The purpose of the blog is to highlight real life stories about what happens when people go through their Saturn returns. Most of the stories tend to focus on the first Saturn return, which occurs for everyone between the ages of 27 and 30, since that is usually the most important one, although there are also some stories about the second and even third Saturn return as well. One of the things that I’m interested in is studying the Saturn return as part of a larger cycle, which includes the other…

At this time Uranus and Mercury will make their retrograde stations, the Sun will square Saturn, and more importantly, Mars will trigger the close Uranus-Pluto square by first squaring Pluto and then opposing Uranus on the 17th and 18th. Aspects of this sort by Mars to Uranus and Pluto usually coincide with very energetic weather patterns provoking high wind velocities and dangerous atmospheric… -
June 22-30, 2012 Long-range Weather Forecast
7 May 2012 | 10:04 amThis is the next in a series of posts that analyzes the squares between Jupiter-Neptune and Uranus-Pluto and their effect on weather patterns. Both these square are exact at the end of June. The square between Jupiter and Neptune indicates predominant low barometric pressure and above normal precipitation. The configuration between Uranus and Pluto brings storm emergencies with sharp dips in temperatures and erratic gusty winds. The Jupiter-Neptune SquareThis aspect is exact on June 24th and 25th and is later triggered again on June 28th. The Solar Ingress chart for the summer season… -
June 10-12, 2012 Long-range Weather Forecast
29 Apr 2012 | 2:23 pmMercury will activate the approaching Uranus-Pluto square on June 11th by first forming a square to Uranus and then an opposition to Pluto. The Moon then enters the picture on the 12th by conjoining Uranus and squaring Pluto. Since earthly weather patterns respond to these planetary alignments as amply attested to on the pages of this blog, our purpose here is to determine the type of weather pattern that will ensue as well as the place.A number of key charts such as the Solar Ingress, Full Moon, and Last Quarter Moon charts concentrates the Uranus-Pluto influence over the eastern U.S. -
June 4-7, 2012 Long-range Weather Forecast
22 Apr 2012 | 6:49 pmDuring hurricane season 2012, the outer, slower moving planets will form some disruptive aspects that could be instrumental in aggravating hurricane formation this year. These aspects involve the square between Jupiter and Neptune, and the square between Uranus and Pluto. At the beginning of June, Uranus and Pluto are almost exact in their square being less than a degree away. This almost exact aspect may be "close enough for Jazz" in the sense that their influence on weather patterns manifests as the Moon and other planets trigger them even before they are exact.In the next posts we'll be… -
Understanding the Warmth of Winter 2011-12 Part 2
12 Apr 2012 | 10:38 pmOn March 24th of this year, Accuweather.com posted an article entitled "Amazing Stats from the March 2012 Heat Wave." The article points out how thousands of high temperature records were broken over the preceding couple of weeks from the High Plains to the East Coast and northward into Canada.If we look back to see what was happening astrometeorologically a couple of weeks before we are not disappointed to find a very logical answer to this phenomena: the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on March 14th along with the trine of Venus to Mars, and the trine of Mars to Jupiter all on the same…

Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....? I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth. Here are the lucky numbers for the week of May… -

Retrograde Planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars
22 Apr 2012 | 11:09 amDid you experience a lot of grief around the recent spate of Mercury retrograde through Aries and Pisces? That would have been from around 12th March to 4th April 2012. I thought the cosmos was having a bit too much of a laugh when things went wrong with my computer, my mobile phone, our land line AND the TV! If something to do with communication could go wrong, it did go wrong. So I said -
Twelfth House Planets
3 Oct 2011 | 4:13 pmTwelfth house planets are a bit of a mystery. There are various theories about what this house really means. The old astrology books talk about this - the 12th house - as the house of downfall. When I was learning astrology my tutors sometimes described planets placed here as representing things or people lost to you - or lost to the person whose chart we were looking at. The twelfth/12th -
Palmistry 4 Today Book Review & Interview with the Author: Frank C. Clifford of the London School of Astrology (LSA)
29 Jul 2011 | 6:18 pmPalmistry involves a certain amount of astrological referencing, but you don't have to be an astrology expert to explore the world of palmistry. You don't even have to be a palmistry expert if you've got a decent handbook around (no pun intended!). That's what I have found in Frank Clifford's Palmistry 4 Today. I don't use palmistry so much in my professional work, as astrology and tarot are -
What's the use of Astrology? - New Zealand Earthquake Chart Link

The Hand of Fate & Destiny, Friendship & your True Self
17 Mar 2011 | 6:08 amWhen it comes to the hands of fate, destiny and friendship, which of these do we accept the most readily? Friendship means a lot, but we have to work out if we trust people. There are also times when it seems impossible to discuss certain issues with friends or other people that we are close to. At such times people will often turn to an outside, trusted source of wisdom and someone who can hear

THE BIG PICTURE
20 Apr 2012 | 12:56 amSometimes it is necessary to stand back and take a global perspective. For most people, this is not necessary when examining the astrological ages because each age stands alone like a brick in a wall. The only relevance of this common approach is that the Age of Pisces preceded the Aquarian age, and the Age of Capricorn will follow it. If you have been following this blog or have read “THE DAWNING Shedding New Light on the Astrological Ages” you will know that the whole system of the astrological ages is much more sophisticated and full of fractal nuances. Firstly you would understand… -
US Presidents in the Age of Aquarius (Revised for 2012)
14 Feb 2012 | 6:28 pmWhile most people know about the Aquarian age, and some people know that the Age of Aquarius follows the Age of Pisces, very few people realize that within the Age of Aquarius are twelve sub-ages. These sub-ages last approximately 179 years each. Within the sub-ages are twelve micro-ages per sub-age of approximately fifteen years each. These fifteen years micro-ages provide the generational markers that identify one generation from the next. I discovered some interesting correlations when the generation markers for all the US presidents to date are examined – either the voting public… -
Neptune and You
3 Feb 2012 | 8:06 pmThis post is not related to the Aquarian age, or any other astrological age. The focus is upon the planet Neptune as it moves from Aquarius into Pisces in early February 2012. Though my specialty is the astrological ages, I have been a student of modern western astrology for almost 40 years and Vedic astrology for around 25 years. While I was researching the shift of Neptune into Pisces, I became aware of how far reaching this impact will be, not only for individuals but for the world as a whole. If most individuals will expereince a net beneficial influence from Neptune moving… -

With an eclectic mix of presenters from Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, this writers festival provided a first account insight into the world today – warts and all. One recurrent theme introduced by a variety of writers focused upon the destructive political and social input from the USA upon many countries outside of the developed western world. Before providing the relevant details of the political skulduggery undertaken by the USA since the Second World… -
The Aquarian age did not begin in the 1960′s or ’70s (Revised)
22 Sep 2011 | 2:00 am© Terry MacKinnell 2008, 2011 All Rights Reserved The most commonly stated urban myth about the Aquarian age is that it commenced in the 1960s or ’70s. Blogs from one end of the world to the other repeatedly discuss the arrival of the Aquarian age in those rebellious and drug-fuelled times. Just because the musical Hair commenced proclaiming in the 1960s that ‘this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius…’ does not make it so. If all the people in the world jumped up and down in unison declaring this is the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, Aquarius could not care less, even if…

Horary astrology: will she be my friend again?

Horary lesson: what does Jupiter in Taurus mean?
2 Jun 2011 | 9:21 amA student of horary asks, “I am still learning about dignities and wonder what are your thoughts on Jupiter moving to Taurus for a year for all the horary charts we will cast. I thought it would be good for art and romance but seems no? How can we positively use this placement?” Good question. Can we say anything general about Jupiter in Taurus that will be true in all horary charts? The answer is, sort of. In truth, no planet/sign pairing means the same thing in absolutely all charts. This is true for horary, for natal, and for every other branch of astrology. What we can do is tally up… -

Horary astrology: Will I lose my job?
21 May 2011 | 10:12 amThe querent is worried about layoff rumors at work. He asked, “Will I lose my job in the next few months?” Following John Frawley’s instructions in The Horary Textbook, I’m looking for signs of stability (he keeps the job) or change (he loses it). 19 May 2011, 8:42pm EDT, Arlington, MA USA First, what signs are the angles in? All mutable signs. Fixed signs on the angles would have given some desired stability; mutable signs can be about vacillation, repetition, or the breakdown of what’s come before. So that’s one indication of impending change. What are his significators doing?

The Moon meets The Twins at 7:06pm and is immediately followed by a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Gemini at 7:48pm. Prior to all that busy Gemini solar-lunar activity, Venus turns retrograde at 24 Gemini on Tuesday. With an emphasis on the mutable signs, staying flexible is the way to go. Adaptability is the key to release and renewal as the Moon continues to wane through Sunday and also as we move toward accomplishing our New Moon goals in the coming month.

Full Moon in Scorpio ~ Lotus Moon
4 May 2012 | 11:28 amSuper Moon! Scorpio! Full Moon Madness! Cinco de Mayo! That’ll make a person nervous. This is the Moon of Secrets. It’s at 16° Scorpio, the second decan, influenced by Pluto and Neptune, classically Mars and Jupiter. This degree of the zodiac is in a part of the sky known as the Heart of the Scorpion with one of the brightest stars in the sky (Antares) at the heart. Word on the street is that this is a tough celestial neighborhood. You lock your doors when you drive through this neighborhood, if you know what I mean.

What seems clear on Monday may have a completely different slant before Sunday’s over. Emotional issues that came to light with the Scorpio Moon are now glowing in truth under Sagittarian beams.

“The 12 Capricorn 13 Full Moon on July 3 2012 Says the Tip of the Iceberg is Sinking”
13 May 2012 | 5:34 pmFor the last few years the difficult aspects of squares and oppositions have been making their existence felt, here and there. The shouts of change have filled the air, but the results have been very dubious with very little results, that actually made any difference in the global situation. The conjunction of Pluto with the moon starts a new cycle of radical transformation with a square to Uranus initiating a foremost turning point, something we haven’t seen for a quite awhile. With these aspects the 12 Capricorn 13 Full Moon makes its appearance on July 3rd 2012 at 11:53 am… -
“Revisiting Saturn in the Natal Ninth House betwixt Delay, but not Deny”
6 May 2012 | 6:07 pmMany months have passed since I written an article entitled “The emphasis of Saturn in the Natal Ninth House is Better Late Then Never”, and had many comments, which have confirmed my thoughts on the subject, but has also made me dig deeper into what else lies hidden in this quirky planet in this position in the chart. I began to realize I have a love, hate relationship with Saturn, Gemini and the ninth house. It is strange how Saturn evokes an intense emotion which seems similar and more appropriately assigned to the characteristics of Pluto. I love it in Gemini and in the… -

29 Apr 2012 | 5:04 pmAs we are at the very beginning of the twenty first century and the time seems to be rapidly approaching the next century, we need to realize that nothing is ever going to have its usual or regular cycle that we will have become accustomed to, as that reliability has seem to have flown out of the window. The norm or the customary has lost its allure to the cyber generation, whom are always seeking the new, innovative, and the must have.

22 Apr 2012 | 7:31 amMy love for astrology and its different predictive methods has been a long love affair with many happy, gratifying, and satisfying moments. One that comes to mind happened recently that gave me reason to rethink and to reevaluate in how I see, think and reason things out.

Astrology vs. Personality Tests
6 May 2012 | 3:50 amThis is a paper I recently wrote for my personality psych class. Thought some readers may enjoy it. Mind candy, to say the least! Summary of Science Versus the Stars: A Double-Blind Test of the Validity of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and Computer-Generated Astrological Natal Charts Authors Wyman and Vyse consider their study to be a repetition of the Carlson 1985 study on astrology’s validity with significant updates.

Mars Retrograde: Keep it Simple
23 Jan 2012 | 10:58 pmWe are all motivated by different desires. No matter what they may be, Mars plays a large role in how, when, and why we pursue those desires, whether it's fast and furious or slow and steady, whether we are pursuing happiness, security, or success. Mars stationed retrograde at 23 degrees and 5 minute of Virgo on January 23rd. A good way to begin to understand the meaning of any planet going retrograde is to run the gamut of re words. For instance, when Mercury retrogrades we're asked to reconsider. When Venus retrogrades, we are often given the opportunity to reacquaint… -
A Page From an Astrologer's Diary: Progressed Moon Enters the First House
30 May 2011 | 3:55 amAn astrologer is always experiencing life on a couple of dimensions (pun intended!) On one hand, they're engaged in whatever is going on in their life at the moment like everyone else, and at the same time, they're wondering what this current event has to do with Mars trining their Midheaven or Pluto squaring their Ascendant. The good and humble astrologer is always taking notes from their life and the lives around them to see astrology in real life action, outside of the key words and fixed descriptions of what a certain astrological event is supposed to produce. Sometimes it takes a… -
Mercury Retrograde, Schmetrograde
30 Mar 2011 | 12:20 pmAll the astrological heavenly bodies periodically go retrograde except for the sun and the moon. If you were to observe a planet in its orbit across the night sky this week, you would see Mercury seeming to slow down, stop (station), and start going in a backward direction (retrograde). Of course, Mercury is not literally going backward in its orbit, but it appears to us to be doing so. Mercury appears to go backward a few times a year for about 3 weeks at a time, give or take. The 'shadow' period of a retrograde planet encompasses the retrograde period and then some. The shadow period is the… -

10 Things To Do With Mercury in Taurus
14 May 2012 | 4:49 amMercury, which rules thought and communication, is currently in practical Taurus. This is good for everybody, because it means we have a real chance to get a few things done. You have until May 24, when we return to just talking about everything a lot.Mercury rules the hands, so do any tasks that require craftsmanship, skill and a sense of harmony now. Mercury is also about commerce, thinking. Taurus is about banking and saving, of course, but also about making things real, and ruled by Venus, Taurus is about art.The motto for this week is: Make Do and Mend1. Put up a garden shed… -
Reader's Question: Shall I Go To the Ball?
12 May 2012 | 5:13 amHere's a letter a reader wrote to me recently, reprinted with permission."I hate my chart. I hate its ambiguities, its lethargy (thanks Libra stellium) and its inability to just take a decision and stick to it. I hate my Virgo Moon, and its crippling inability to let me feel worthwhile...I feel this deep sense of shame about not knowing what to do with my life. I also feel a deep sense of shame that I don't let myself say, "Yes, I AM good at something'. Because that truth, once acknowledged, must be acted upon. But also acknowledging it brings the shame that I have done nothing about it. ...I… -

The Nation's Soul
10 May 2012 | 4:57 amTed Hughes was best known as a powerful nature poet before he was made laureate in 1984. It seemed like a strange choice; this poet of fox and moor, black-backed gull and deadly pike, above all of wildness•, asked to write about the baroque, many-layered, structured, civilised, profoundly tamed office of monarchy.In astrological terms, it was like asking Lilith to write about Saturn.In fact it was a brilliant choice. Hughes was deeply interested in what the monarchy was for – on a poetic level. Here is a quatrain he wrote which sums up his thinking.A Soul is a Wheel. A Nation's a… -

Previewing the May 20 Solar Eclipse: A glass-bottomed boat
11 May 2012 | 1:05 pmLook for an in-depth essay next week, but here’s a quick review of the upcoming Solar Eclipse on May 20/21. May 20, 2012 – Solar Eclipse 00.20 Gemini 4:47 pm PDT / 7:47 pm EDT 12:47 am BST (May 21) / 9:45 am AEST (May 21) Sabian Symbol: A glass-bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders. This Solar Eclipse takes place at the Moon’s South Node. South Node eclipses call us to release old, comfortable patterns – a process that is often painful, and sometimes a bit frightening. In this case, you may find that what you’ve always accepted as “common knowledge” is… -
Full Moon in Scorpio: In the Belly of a Duck
2 May 2012 | 12:30 pmIt’s downhill all the way to the ocean, so of course the river always wants to flow. The river’s been here longer, It’s older and stronger and knows where to go. ~ David Wilcox, “Slipping Through My Fist” Ever hopeful for increased prosperity and other cosmic bonbons, I decided to perform the Venus Santeria ritual that Dana wrote about at MoonCircles. It sounded so simple – a piece of bread, a smallish candle, a nickel, a body of running water – but it took me the better part of an afternoon to collect the right size candle, the right shape roll. -
New Moon in Taurus: The Weight of the World
19 Apr 2012 | 3:55 pmby April Elliott Kent Taurus is the sign of physical pleasures and indulgence. Unfortunately, I was born with Saturn in the second house of my chart, which is Taurus’ natural domain. My psyche “reads” Taurus as representing the unobtainable – or at least, things obtainable only through herculean effort. And so as usual at the New Moon in Taurus, I find myself feeling dissatisfied with my physical world. All my possessions seem shabby. My house and garden are a mess. I can’t keep up with the laundry. And my weight. Oh lord, my weight. I’ve always struggled with my weight. -
Full Moon in Libra: Passion and Prudence
4 Apr 2012 | 8:35 amby April Elliott Kent Through the Looking Glass: Careful there, Alice! Each year at the Aries New Moon, I imagine the great mass of humanity bursting out of the starting gate like the bulls running in Pamplona – highly charged with vim and vitality, impatient to get on with the business of … what, exactly? At the New Moon, we’re never exactly sure. We’re long on energy, but short on perspective. And Aries, of all the signs, exemplifies this New Moon spirit. At the Libra Full Moon (April 6, 2012, at 17.23 Libra), our task is to cast the cool eye of appraisal over the ideas and ventures… -
Pluto: Go Deeper
28 Mar 2012 | 2:44 pm“Transcendence” is a word astrologers commonly use to talk about Pluto’s transits and aspects to other planets in the birth chart. But before we can hope to transcend a situation, we must first commit to being full engaged in it. When Pluto is involved, this commitment carries some risk. A neighbor shared the story of being unexpectedly confronted by an unfriendly dog that promptly took his entire hand into its mouth. Most people’s instinct would be to pull the hand away, and in doing so probably shred the flesh against the dog’s teeth. But my neighbor’s instinctive…

Venus Retrograde, 15May-27Jun12
15 May 2012 | 11:06 amFor days I’ve been meaning to write a post on Venus’s retrograde period, but other priorities have come forward. It’s to be expected with Venus stationing retrograde (appearing from our perspective to come to a halt before the retrograde period), as one of the sides of this planet is our value systems or what we find most important. Maybe you’ve been revamping to-do lists to reflect new thoughts or insights about what needs to be/get done. It also works within relationship, the other side of Venus. Actually, that other side is how we relate more than the people we… -
5/5 Scorpio Full Moon Release Call Recording Available
6 May 2012 | 11:32 amLast night Ascended Master Djehuty led about two dozen callers through a process of releasing root chakra blocks and debris to get them more grounded. It was powerful, and twelve hours later, I still feel the calm that he leads us to create within us. It’s important that we are in our bodies – we need them! Not just to survive, which is of course obvious. But they are the vehicles for our journeys as souls to learn about being human. Over time we all accumulate energies that we later cease needing and in fact do not help us in any way. We have to release them in order to be… -

17 Apr 2012 | 3:11 pmThis is Djehuty, a.k.a Thoth, St. Germain, and Merlin. Today I wish to share with you a message about your volition.

I offer you insights into how the manifestation process works even when you are not aware that you are manifesting anything at all. In fact, all you think, feel, believe, and intend sets in motion energetic cues that, when in full bloom, are the manifested relationships, situations, and dynamics of your day-to-day life.

Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 16 2012
15 May 2012 | 4:43 pmWith today’s Aries Moon, we are staying busy and making life happen. We’re fired up with what we’re creating, which is ultimately helping us to find direction. As Moon conjuncts electrifying Uranus this morning, then a square controlling Pluto retrograde, we’re probably not going to let anyone get in our way. If two powerful locomotives are heading for each other, it’s best to step to the side and let them pass. Save the energy for creating, not bullying. Shortly after, our efforts to rise above has successful results as Mars trines Pluto rx. The universe… -
Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 15 2012, The Bitch is Back, Venus Retrograde
14 May 2012 | 8:34 pmWe’re lending a helpful hand as Luna harmonies graciously with opportunist Jupiter and popular Sun. With a square to Venus, we may get much more than we expected. Venus will station retrograde for the next six weeks. Venus is the Love Goddess, and she presses the ‘pause button’ on any forward movement and/or growth in our love and money. In retrograde, rather than providing others with all of our love and support, we are given this opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, so that we may reassess our lives and relationships, in order to value self-love. During this cycle, we… -

Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 13 2012, Happy Mother Day, Blessings to Moms and Nurturers
12 May 2012 | 9:40 pmAfter a few days of separating ourselves from feelings, the Moon enters Pisces which encourages us to return to our natural, compassionate self. Pisces Moon enhances our capability to understand, to forgive, and to heal. We blend with others and with our surroundings as Luna conjuncts gentle Neptune. We can continue to see improvements as Sun conjuncts fortunate Jupiter. A smile or an act of kindness goes a long way. Our confidence magnifies, our popularity grows, and our inner strength intensifies. Things really heat up and we have the power to create and shine. If this energy is misused… -
Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 12 2012
11 May 2012 | 10:48 pmAs Moon continues her flow through the intellectual realm of Aquarius, we’re siphoning out the negative thoughts that weaken us emotionally. As we detach from that which has been so important, we also separate from ourselves, to let go of what is necessary to stay afloat. Although the early evening could be a bit challenging as Luna squares self-gratifying Sun and braggart Jupiter, the day can be in our favor if we can manage to stay out of our own ‘stink’ by reaching out to help others. Pluto sextiles wounded healer Chiron in the earlier hours, while Luna creates…

European elections and political musings
7 May 2012 | 6:35 amThe phrase “May you live in interesting times” has often been identified as a “Chinese curse,” although Wikipedia debunks that notion. But the viewpoint that interesting times could be a curse supports the idea that change, for most people, is difficult. We are living in very interesting times indeed, and heading into times that will be even more interesting as Uranus in Aries faces off against Pluto in Capricorn in June. If you’re new here you’ll be reading a great deal more about this aspect and I hope to be putting up a major article on the subject… -
A few words about the May 5th Supermoon
5 May 2012 | 7:32 amImage found on Facebook with no attribution by Lynn Hayes If you missed yesterday’s post on the Full Moon you can read it here. The May Full Moon occurs as the Moon is at what’s called perigee, its closest proximity to Earth. When the Moon is near the Earth it appears larger than life, and astrologer Richard Nolle coined the term “Supermoon” because of the powerful impact the Supermoon often has on the earth. As Richard explains it (and has done since 1979), the Supermoon occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are lined up in a particularly tight formation. -
Scorpio Full Moon: May 5, 2012
4 May 2012 | 6:02 amIn the Full Moon is in Scorpio nothing is superficial – this Full Moon is all about delving deep into the Mysteries where the Truth lies unexposed in its raw and most real form. The astrological Moon represents our emotions and feelings – it shows where we retreat to when we are under stress and our instinctive reactions that are unencumbered by any sense of what others expect. Scorpio is a water sign and therefore involved with the emotional realm. But Scorpio’s traditional ruler is Mars – a fire planet. The emotion of Scorpio is nothing like the “go with the… -

Venus retrogrades May 16th
28 Apr 2012 | 6:13 amPlease note that the URL of this blog has changed and update your bookmarks. In a summer with lots of astrological news (most notably the upcoming square of Uranus and Pluto), we normally wouldn’t pay much attention to the planet Venus which as one of the more benign planets generally has rather a soft astrological effect. In addition, because it moves so quickly even these soft effects last no longer than a day or so. However, every 18 months or so Venus turns retrograde and forces us to sit up and take notice to our connections with others, our style of relating, and the ways in which…

Pluto and the Language of Astrology
2 May 2012 | 2:40 pmI’ve read a few comments lately from people anticipating their Pluto transit or discussing transits they’ve had. Some speak positively of the growth and change opportunities that come with the transit and others speak of the transit more fearfully. What most of them have in common, though, is that they speak about what Pluto has caused, what Pluto is bringing. I have to say that I don’t think Pluto actually does anything to us. After all, it’s just a small, cold, dwarf planet with a scary name, in the far reaches of our solar system. Right? How can its incredibly slow movements… -

Drought and Drink ~ Neptune in Pisces
26 Feb 2012 | 4:23 amI recently disovered a wonderful post about Neptune in Pisces, over at Genevieve Vierling's Blue Light Lady Blog. Here's the Link. Genevieve’s article set me thinking about more ways that Neptune in Pisces is manifesting. Here are a few quick thoughts...DroughtParts of Eastern England are officially experiencing drought conditions, following a prolonged dry spell. While it's common to experience mild drought in the summer, it is very, very rare for it to happen this early in the year. Water is of course a major theme for Neptune in… -
Why Self-Help Doesn't Always Help ~ by William Bloom
11 Feb 2012 | 11:29 amI recently came across the following article by author William Bloom. I thought it worth sharing with my readers here because it provides important food for thought for all of us who are following a path of personal development, including those of us who use astrology as our tool.WHY SELF-HELP DOESN’T ALWAYS HELPHave you ever wondered why self-help and healing strategies do not always work — even when practised diligently and even by their own teachers? This has often bothered me, especially when I have seen close friends work hard at these techniques and then not achieve the new life or… -
Astrology for February ~ Neptune swims into Pisces & Saturn in Libra's on the turn
3 Feb 2012 | 1:08 pmFebruary is upon us and with it has come some pretty chilly weather across parts of Europe. But what about the astrological weather this month?February brings two big events, Neptune enters Pisces on February 4th and Saturn in Libra turns Retrograde on February 7th. Neptune dipped its trident into Pisces back in April last year, before re-entering Aquarius in August. Now it settles in Pisces until 2026.Neptune is the planet of illusion, dissolution, the dissolving of barriers and boundaries, meltdowns, glamour, scandals and collective emotional undercurrents. Pisces is the sign of compassion,…

Radical Retrospective: The 200th Post!
29 Apr 2012 | 3:31 pm© 2012 by Joyce Mason All Rights Reserved I started The Radical Virgo blog in 2009, thanks to a huge cosmic hint contained in the enthusiasm of an avid reader. He was inspired by my article that first appeared in The Mountain Astrologer in 1990, The Radical Virgo. "The Radical Virgo," the article, also has been posted online for years on the wonderful Australian archive, A Place in Space. It continued to get positive feedback nearly 20 years later.

UAC 2012: The United Astrology Conference
21 Apr 2012 | 4:25 am© 2012 by Joyce Mason All Rights Reserved Despite the fact that the acronym for this gathering is pronounced YOU-Whack, I doubt Tony Soprano or anyone in his “family” will be attending. Nope, the “You-Whack” name aside, I don’t think these conference goers will suddenly develop any tendencies to make people disappear—permanently. The thousands of astrology lovers descending on New Orleans are unlikely to be the least bit menacing, especially at a “do” dedicated to Venus! I’m enchanted with the idea that the astrological community can help rebuild New Orleans in the…

What does my chart say?
14 May 2012 | 9:08 pmHi! I know I have asked this question before, but I wanted to see what other people thought about the subject. So, I have no idea how to read my astrological chart.

The Astrologer Daily: May 16th, 2012
16 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer The Moon's in move-ahead Aries today. As it unites with energized Uranus, a streak of rebellion and doing it your own way comes to the forefront. Accomplishment is the name of the game. Not only because of the willful Aries Moon but also because of the connective trine between assertive Mars and probing Pluto. There's energy available to create something powerful or do something that has great meaning. A tense alignment between expansive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn delivers an essential lesson. It serves as a reminder of the importance of finding balance… -
The Astrologer Daily: May 15th, 2012
15 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Gracious Venus begins her six-week retrograde phase today. When the planet of love appears to be in backward motion, we have an opportunity to reflect upon and reassess our relationships. We can see not only which ones work and which ones don't, but also why. During this time, don't be surprised if old friends or lovers reappear in your life---this is a common occurrence during Venus retrograde. Also important is to put off making big-ticket purchase until after June 27, when Venus turns direct. Otherwise, you may very well regret what you bought when you… -
The Astrologer Daily: May 14th, 2012
14 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Heightened sensitivity and an easier ability to tune into other people's emotions are on tap when the Moon is in Pisces. The alignments it makes with powerful Pluto and wise Chiron further enhance the Piscean urge to help others. Given that messenger Mercury also harmoniously aligns with both Pluto and Chiron, words and thoughts take on special healing powers. If friends have been emotionally under the weather, today's a good time to connect with them. Be sure to be diligent in all you do: the Sun's connection with serious Saturn is a reminder that cutting… -

13 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer The Sun unites with optimistic Jupiter, making everything seem within your reach. And with Mercury making a friendly trine to Mars there's an alignment between your thoughts and actions. This can help you pursue a goal that provides you with an opportunity for growth and learning. Just be aware that while the Sun/Jupiter energy is great for inspiring wisdom and broad vision, it can also push you beyond realistic limits if not kept in check. This is especially true today as the Moon is in dreamy Pisces. This infuses a tendency to want to gloss over the parts… -
The Astrologer Daily: May 12th, 2012
12 May 2012 | 2:00 amBy Kelli Fox, The Astrologer Innovation and uniqueness are rewarded today. Not only because the Moon is in eclectic Aquarius but also because the Sun aligns with avante-garde Uranus. Powerful Pluto makes a friendly sextile with wise Chiron, helping you to learn from past experiences in a profound but supported way. While around-the-house Sunday tasks may need to be accomplished, you'd rather be doing something else that seems more exciting. See if there's a way to make mundane tasks more interesting by approaching them differently. Shake up your routines. As the Moon nicely aligns with…

Planet, Sign Delineation: Many Ways to Read Astrological Signatures

Full Moon in Scorpio 2012
3 May 2012 | 10:47 amThe Full Moon in Scorpio at 16 degrees 1 minute is exact on 6th May at 4:35am GMT. The Sun in Taurus fully illuminates the Moon, bringing hidden information to light. Look out for any messages presenting themselves to you a few days before or after this full moon. With Taurus and Scorpio, a balance is called for between simplicity and complexity. This may not be easy to achieve, especially with expansive Jupiter conjunct the Sun in Taurus, magnifying one's optimism and blowing emotions out of proportion. Luckily, the Mercury in Aries and Saturn in Libra… -
Buddha's Relic in Hong Kong
30 Apr 2012 | 11:36 amOn the 4th month of the 8th day in the Chinese lunar calendar is the birthday of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. This year, this special day fell on Saturday 28th April 2012. For me, it was a highly memorable day as I had the great fortune to pay my respect before one of Buddha's relics - his parietal-bone, symbolising wisdom.Thanks to the Hong Kong Buddhist Association, the people of Hong Kong were able to attend one of the grand blessing ceremonies being held between 25th-30th April. It was a great honour for us to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to be in close… -

What's the energy pattern like astrologically during the New Moon in Taurus (at 1 degree 35 minutes) on 21st April 2012?With the New Moon falling in the earth sign of Taurus, practical concerns, financial matters and sensual pleasures are highlighted, so planting your wishes surrounding these issues aptly correspond to this Taurean New Moon energy.Though not in aspect to the New Moon, Jupiter is also in Taurus, thus amplifying the Taurean energy somewhat, bringing a sense of joy and abundance to the… -
Venus in Gemini 2012
7 Apr 2012 | 4:35 amVenus normally stays in a sign for three to four weeks, but due to its retrograde motion, it is to remain in Gemini for three months - from 3rd April to 7th August. With Mercury ruling Venus for three months, the Venusian qualities are being expressed through the spoken word and the objective mind, particularly that Mercury finally goes direct on 4th April, ending the period of introspection of the mind. Mercury in Pisces may inspire you to utter loving words, but if you're not feeling brave enough, perhaps with Mercury re-entering Aries on 16/17th April, it may provide you with the…

Conjure with the Goetia
9 May 2012 | 1:24 amWorking with the spirits Goetia is one of those topics that gets a great deal of lip service in magical circles. Most discussions of Goetia tend to revolve around rites of evocation – ritually summoning up a spirit for the purposes of gaining information, or making some kind of arrangement for the spirit to work on behalf of the magician. Often these rites of evocation come from ceremonial sources, and the rituals involve all kinds of formal circles, with ancient languages and Names, fancy tools and lamens – and a heaping helping of trepidation. Because after all, the Goets are…wait for… -
Breaking Pacts with Spirits (Or How to Re-Possess Your Soul From Satan)
9 May 2012 | 1:20 amI recently had the unique opportunity to look into the subject of breaking pacts (contracts) made with spiritual entities. I was contacted by a friend who was doing her best to help a young man out of an unfortunate situation. He had joined a thestic Satanic group, who had him perform a dedication ceremony to Satan as the very first step of the path. He was led to believe he would receive the usual in exchange for his soul: money, women, power. He got none of these things, and soon found himself under spiritual attack and/or oppression. I call this a unique situation, because it really… -
Visakha Puja (Siddhartha's Birthday :)
5 May 2012 | 4:40 amToday, Visakha Puja, is an extremely important day in the Buddhist tradition, for it was on this day that the Buddha was born, and 35 years later awoke to the unexcelled right self-awakening, and another 45 years later passed away into total nibbana. In each case, these events took place on the full-moon day in May, when the moon is in the Visakha asterism, which is why the day is called Visakha Puja….. -
Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys dies at 47
5 May 2012 | 4:36 amAdam Yauch, one of the founders of the hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, has died of cancer at the age of 47. Yauch, who went by the name MCA, had been battling cancer since 2009. Yauch was a practicing Buddhist, who actively supported Tibetan causes. In 1994, he established the Milarepa Fund — an organization dedicated to the promotion of nonviolence — and became a leader of the movement to liberate Tibet from Chinese occupation. The fund was named after the 11th century Tibetan singer-yogi Milarepa, and was originally intended to distribute royalties from Yauch’s Beastie Boys’ 1994… -
Rahu and Ketu - "The Invisible Planets" (In Propitiation to the Upcoming Eclipses)
5 May 2012 | 4:31 amWhy do Hindus believe that the mythological demons Rahu and Ketu cause solar eclipses? In Hindu mythology there is a wonderful story that describes how the gods and the demons once formed an alliance to produce a nectar that could give them immortality. This is the story of the churning of the milk-ocean and the descent of Lord Visnu as the Kurma avatara, the divine tortoise. When the nectar that was churned from this ocean was being served to the gods, a demon, disguised as a god, sat between the Sun and the Moon in an attempt to procure the nectar. When he was detected by the Sun and the…

Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 16 2012
15 May 2012 | 4:43 pmWith today’s Aries Moon, we are staying busy and making life happen. We’re fired up with what we’re creating, which is ultimately helping us to find direction. As Moon conjuncts electrifying Uranus this morning, then a square controlling Pluto retrograde, we’re probably not going to let anyone get in our way.

Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 15 2012, The Bitch is Back, Venus Retrograde
14 May 2012 | 8:34 pmWe’re lending a helpful hand as Luna harmonies graciously with opportunist Jupiter and popular Sun. With a square to Venus, we may get much more than we expected. Venus will station retrograde for the next six weeks. Venus is the Love Goddess, and she presses the ‘pause button’ on any forward movement and/or growth in our love and money. In retrograde, rather than providing others with all of our love and support, we are given this opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, so that we may reassess our lives and relationships, in order to value self-love. During this cycle, we… -

Cosmic Dirt Astrology, May 12 2012
11 May 2012 | 10:48 pmAs Moon continues her flow through the intellectual realm of Aquarius, we’re siphoning out the negative thoughts that weaken us emotionally. As we detach from that which has been so important, we also separate from ourselves, to let go of what is necessary to stay afloat. Although the early evening could be a bit challenging as Luna squares self-gratifying Sun and braggart Jupiter, the day can be in our favor if we can manage to stay out of our own ‘stink’ by reaching out to help others. Pluto sextiles wounded healer Chiron in the earlier hours, while Luna creates…

Pluto in Capricorn by Generation
15 May 2012 | 5:06 amWhenever a planet transits a sign, that sign and its polarity are directly affected. For example, right now Mars is in Virgo. Mars provides assertive energy. So your keep-a-list Virgo friends are now keeping ten lists. The opposite sign Pisces is being forced from the opposing Mars in Virgo to keep a list, stick to it and show up on time, all things that are difficult for the dreamy, otherworldly Pisces. Pluto in Capricorn Pluto is currently transiting Capricorn and will be for the next 15-20 years. Capricorn sun individuals will find themselves at the other end of a black hole when the… -
Explaining Romney’s Hair Attack to Your Cat
14 May 2012 | 5:27 amMy cat asked me about the news story that describes Mitt Romney chopping off some boy’s hair in high school. She wanted to know why it is news. “I think the Romney campaign is trying to make Romney appear fun,” I answered. “Since he’s so boring and his campaign is so boring, people might simply forget there’s an election.” “Why did he cut someone’s hair off?” Lacy asked. Full of hair, this bothers her. “Romney does have that Saturn and Pluto in Leo,” I explained. “Leo loves hair and with Saturn in Leo Romney probably feels everyone else’s hair is nicer. I’m… -
Outer Planets in the News
13 May 2012 | 10:22 amThe outer planets are the planets past Saturn – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These planets are far and revolve around the sun in 80- to 200-plus year increments so they represent generational energies. These planets are “the times” we live in. The New York Times stories of Saturday, May 12 influenced this blog. URANUS IN ARIES Uranus began its transit of Aries in March 2011. Uranus brings sudden events from learning your spouse is cheating to enlightenment itself. Aries is the first sign of zodiac, a fire sign, interested in self-assertion. Uranus in Aries has brought uprisings and sudden… -
Jamie Dimon Lost More than $2 Billion – He Lost Control
11 May 2012 | 5:07 pmJ. P. Morgan Chase announced yesterday that it lost $2 billion through trading losses. J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is now in the hot seat. According to the Washington Post story today, Dimon made a comment about pundits. “The loss, Dimon conceded in a conference call Thursday, ‘plays right into the hands of a whole bunch of pundits out there.’” Maybe the loss will play into the hands of a Pandit rather than a pundit, as in Vikram Pandit, CEO of Bank of America. Last year I wrote a blog on US bankers and in astrological-play, chose Pandit as top banker. I’m guessing Pandit is… -
Looking Back at Mercury Retrograde
10 May 2012 | 9:49 pmWhenever Mercury goes retrograde, which is about three times a year, astrologers across the globe write articles and blogs warning about miscommunications and other communication-oriented mishaps. At www.astrology.com, Robert Tillett writes this about Mercury retrograde: “Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or…
