• Political Comment: Minority Rules

  Eric Francis

  21 Nov 2009 | 5:44 am

  Tonight the United States Senate takes up the measure of health care reform for the American people. While this is being looked at as a budgetary issue, a political issue or a religious issue in the form of abortion, it’s really about whether people have the right to go to the doctor, here in the “wealthiest nation in the world.” The not so funny part is that a bunch of people with excellent health coverage are deciding for everyone else whether they can get help if they need it; or if they are entitled to the same preventive care. That is, if your kids should be allowed to…

  Today’s Oracle takes us to the Pisces – Weekly of May 02, 2003 The sky is set at maximum Pisces right now and believe me — that’s a lot of Pisces. Yes, the Sun is in Taurus and just one major planet is in your sign, but the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune are in the midst (I wrote ‘mist’! — Neptune slipping in there) of a potent and unstoppable setup that may feel more than a little daunting. Daunting, as in stretched over a vast paradox you can’t reconcile, or like really trippy dreams, or like how do I handle all this power, or daunting as in…

  We are now up to the last of the 12 signs, proceeding in order from Aries through Taurus. The project is Cosmic Confidential: A Future Investigation, the 2010 annual edition of Planet Waves. This is an invitation for Pisces and Pisces rising (or others with a strong signature from this sign) to contribute your experiences, ideas and responses to your astrology. Pisces of course has experienced Uranus in its sign for the past six or so years, and until recently, Saturn in Virgo — your opposite sign — for about two years. This has probably made for some interesting…

• Understand the Gemini Man

  admin

  19 Nov 2009 | 10:11 pm

  Gemini are air signs and they are represented by the symbol of the twins. Indeed, Geminis are often flighty and seem as though they can never make up their minds. If you are take-charge kind of woman and have no trouble being the leader, then you could probably get along with Gemini. However, if indecision annoys you and you don’t like dealing with people who seem to be lost in the clouds, then a Gemini is probably not for you. Gemini also tend to be aloof, so if that doesn’t bother you, and you understand it’s not something personal, then go ahead and date a Gemini.

• Tarot Card Readings Online

  19 Nov 2009 | 9:11 pm

  Tarot cards have not always been used for psychic readings. They started about 500 years ago in Northern Italy. The first tarot card decks were comprised of 52 cards with four additional queens. The rich used the deck to play a game called the Game of Triumphs. Around the 18th and 19th century, tarot cards became popular with psychics and mystics. Now tarot cards are mainly used for psychic readings. More: continued here If you like this post, please buy me a beer for $3 8-)

• Understand the Scorpio Man

  Scorpio men are very charismatic and love power. They can be very stubborn, and that is how they often get their way. If you are a woman who is adaptable enough to step back to avoid a fight, or who can turn the battle to her advantage, then you might be able to handle this explosive sign. Scorpios would rather work together than fight, though they will fight if they think they need to or that it is the only way that they will get what they want. However, if you are very timid, then the Scorpio might be too much for you. They are passionate about everything, and prone to try to get their way…

• Moon-Mars Aspects in Synastry: Sex and Psyche

  Dawn Bodrogi

  20 Nov 2009 | 1:00 am

  Flickr / Jason A. Samfield via Creative Commons licenseWhen folks start learning about astrology and synastry, they run to Venus/Mars aspects to find out whether they’re compatible with their partners. Venus/Mars is about sexual give and take: my style of loving is in tune with your desire. But, as everyone knows, sex is a lot more complicated than that. We don’t always express our love via Venus. Venus can be a diva with a come-hither look; she draws what she wants (and sometimes doesn’t want) via the principle of attraction. Venus/Mars contacts can be surprisingly shallow.

  19 Nov 2009 | 7:28 am

  After blinging out the Broken Embraces premiere with a rather large sapphire-and-diamond sparkler, Penelope Cruz (born: April 28, 1974) is once again facing rumors that she and boyfriend Javier Bardem (born: March 1, 1969) are engaged. If Bardem’s trying (a la Beyonce’s sage advice) to put a ring on it, Cruz certainly isn’t fessing up to it any time soon. When questioned by David Letterman, Penelope stayed secretive, insisting, “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my private life in public.” Her tight-lipped response is no big surprise, especially since these two smoking-hot…

  Elsa

  20 Nov 2009 | 4:00 pm

  My eye on the skyThe Sun leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius, joining Mercury in the sign. Theoretically things cheer up. Some around here have speculated such but I’m not so sure. Sagittarius inflates things, in this case, the Sun or the Ego. Ruler Jupiter is squaring Venus and opposing Mars in Leo so I think we could see dramatic displays of hubris and egos out of control. Further, the enlarged Sun has no impact on the Saturn Pluto cracks in the foundation so my advice would be to have fun but keep a humble foot on the ground and for Godsakes watch your back. As the soldier would say,…

• Saturday Archives: The Jupiter Effect – Positive or Neutral

  21 Nov 2009 | 7:43 am

  Today the Sun moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius and I thought a post from the Archives on Jupiter would be fun. As we approach the transition of Jupiter from the yang fire sign of Sagittarius to the yin earth sign of Capricorn on December 18, 2007, I find myself considering Jupiter’s effect.  In traditional astrology, Jupiter and Venus are called “beneficent” and when they show up in charts and by transit, they are said to bring all that is good.  That sounds wonderful but this has been not been my personal experience or that of others whose charts I’ve read. Since I have a natal…

  Uranus is at a virtual standstill preparing to go direct on December 1, 2009 at 22° 42′ Pisces and if you have a planet or Angle between 21° and 23° as I do, you may be feeling jangled and twitchy. When calm did not return after an intense New Moon on Monday, I started checking and realized Uranus was the culprit because it is exactly trine my natal Mercury triggering a natal Mercury-Uranus inconjunct. Uranus often has the most immediate impact of all the outer planets by transit because of its electrical, dynamic nature. If it forms aspects to your personal planets (Sun, Moon,…

  16 Nov 2009 | 8:12 am

  Developments that began unfolding last Thursday or Friday continue to play out in what promises to be another intense week. There likely will be another surprise or two, and it’s anyone’s guess whether it will be pleasant or of the other variety. The week begins with a powerful New Moon in Scorpio. You’ve probably read Neith’s complete report, but if not, it’s a must-read. This New Moon comes fully loaded with six out of ten planets in fixed signs, virtually guaranteeing some sort of conflict. Now, as I’m so fond of saying, not all conflict is bad.

• Neptune Direct and the Fort Hood Shootings

  5 Nov 2009 | 8:32 pm

  I recently commented at Stars Over Washington that the Nov. 4 Neptune station of Aquarius so close to the U.S. Moon would produce an event that would bring sorrow to the American populace. I think we’ve seen this with the shootings in Fort Hood, Tex. This tragedy galvanized my family because my nephew left Mosul, Iraq, about two days ago, heading to the center in Fort Hood where the violence occurred. My sister has received an e-mail from a military liaison assuring her that her son is safe, but we still are not 100% certain. I myself am at a loss for words, but feel ready to dive back…

  I haven’t been tending my blog quite as well as I should be, but I wanted to put up a quick post about how today’s celebrity deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson are triggering a period of national mourning of sorts, fueled by the Internet and social networking. Depending on what time you use for the U.S. chart, the current Jupiter/Neptune conjunction is either conjunct or quite close to the U.S. Moon, which signifies the people of the nation. Today, the Moon is in Leo, which often coincides with accidents and surprises, and this is opposing the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction…

  Just as the Moon moved into Capricorn at 3:59 p.m. Eastern time today, where it’s close to a conjunction with Pluto and a trine with Venus and Mars in Taurus, investors got a bouquet from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What’s interesting is that Justice Ginsburg only had until 4 p.m. to make her ruling. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I’m not surprised that Ginsburg ruled to delay the sale of Chrysler to Fiat, a deal that put unsecred creditors ahead of secured creditors. Justice Ginsburg obviously doesn’t take the sanctity of contracts…

  Alfred Witte Today I wish to examine certain of the so-called Transneptunians, those hypothetical points proposed by Alfred Witte, founder of the Hamburg School during the 1920s and 1930s. The fact that the Transneptunian points are not known to physically exist was as much a problem for astrologers back then as it is for some today; indeed, as a result of the widespread ridicule he received for these theories and his subsequent disfavour with the Nazi regime, Witte committed suicide in 1941. I am challenged with the view that these points are meaningless often, and I reject the argument that…

• Erisian Elusiveness, Plutonic Potential

  chirotic

  28 Oct 2009 | 7:38 am

  Here is an interesting idea. Eris, Goddess of Discord, so named after being more or less directly responsible for the declassification of Pluto as a genuine planet and his reclassification as a ‘dwarf planet’ – if anyone is going to take Pluto down a notch or two it had to be Eris (the sister of Ares no less) – does not roll in a conventional orbit; she is differently inclined. Which means that for long periods of her very slow perambulation around the Sun, she is far from the traditional ecliptic of the Zodiac; certainly, she makes an appearance in the Zodiac: in the…

I would not wish to posit a specific astrological entity for the other awareness, it no doubt lies at the centre of your nativity, the place you are drawn to if you are prepared to suffer a little or a lot, or repelled by, if you are otherwise. This otherness is entirely Chirotic, in my view. And should we find ourselves in pursuit of this ‘other’ faculty that is not the mind, not the feelings and not the body either, we might well ask, “what is it?”. Well, it is a sense of rightness.

  There’s one important element of the Mercury / Pluto link up that I didn’t mention yesterday and that is Goddess of the Hula, Haumea.

  Now the New Moon is behind us we can take some time to consider the significance of that Mercury in the Sacral Centre. Significant why?  Because it’s connecting to Pluto in the G Centre.   Pluto and Mercury together are activating half of the Centering Circuit, which has a huge impact on all of humanity. The Centering Circuit (gates 34/10/25/51 for those who are interested) empowers us to honour our own convictions, to love ourselves and follow our unique path in life.   It imparts a thrilling love of self.  And it demands surrender to a future that cannot be known or planned.

The good doctor is not an astrologer, but he respects astrology's doctrines, it seems, which is a refreshing change from the attitude of most academics."Then Scorpio comes in Autumn bearing Antares on

  This review of my book The Living Birth Chart appears in the current issue of the Astrological Association Journal, and was written by the Editor, John Green:This book is a follow up to the 2004 book The Cosmic Egg Timer written by Joyce Hopewell and Richard Llewellyn, which gave an introduction to the Huber Method of astrological work. The Huber Method was developed by Bruno and Louise Huber in collaboration with Roberto Assagioli, the founder of Psychosynthesis. This book expands on the previous one, and is a deeper and more practical workbook. Numerous examples and practical exercises are…

• The Fall of the Berlin Wall

  Joyce Hopewell

  8 Nov 2009 | 4:01 pm

  9th November 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The chart is set for 18.57 on 9.11.1989 in Berlin, based on data obtained from Astro-Databank. The Berlin Wall divided East and West Germany and split families apart. It was a stone version of the Iron Curtain which divided the Soviet bloc from Western Europe.The chart is a red/blue one with no green aspects. Red/Blue charts indicate a motivation which is either/or, black/white, with no shades of grey. This wall was set to come down, and no messing; it was the will of the people that it should do so.The chart shaping…

  No, I'm not writing a post about predictive astrology, where the future configurations of the planets are studied in order to glean some insight into what the future might hold for a person. The planetary directions I'm talking about here involve two places I know about which have a walk through the countryside along a marked path which has placed, at appropriate intervals, models and information about the planets in the solar system.The first time I encountered this novel walk was in Zurich, when attending a seminar at the Astrological Psychology Institute where Bruno and Louise were…

• Stephen Fry's Small Talent triangle

  Joyce Hopewell

  5 Oct 2009 | 9:24 am

  Actor and presenter Stephen Fry was born on 24th August 1957 in London. Best known in both these roles either side of the Atlantic, Fry is also very popular amongst the Twitterati who follow his thoughts and witty musings. No time of birth is available so his chart is set up for Noon. This makes for some interesting speculation as the overall aspect structure is small, tightly packed and only fills one of the four quadrants of the chart. Which one this would be, had we the correct birth time, it would be interesting to see. Whichever quadrant is emphasised, this will always leave the…

  The publishers behind the astrological journal Considerations recently decided to scan and release their entire journal archive online for free through the website  freeconsiderations.com. Considerations was one of the few serious astrological journals available over the course of the past few decades.  It was issued quarterly starting in 1983, and under the editorship of Axel Harvey and Ken Gillman over 70 issues were published by the time it stopped being produced in 2006. Given its relatively long history and unique status as one of the few serious journals for astrology, the…

  A colleague of mine, who has been ever very sceptical about astrology, has ascendent in Virgo. Well, if you look at any sun-sign description of Virgo, it will tell you about “great practicality”, “attention to detail”, etc (including criticism, yes). And this is valid not only for those who have Sun in Virgo, but also if other essential points of the horoscope, like ascendent or the Moon, are placed in the sign. Not surprisingly, it was quite natural for the colleague to always wear a belt-bag with lots of useful bits and pieces. Once I asked him with laugh whether he had manicure…

I wrote several posts about this unpleasant constellation, which happens every 1.5-2 years, but this time its severe effects are amplified by the summer Sun eclipse which promised uneasy time to Asia and Oceania. Look at the map of the eclipse again - it covers exactly this area, including Far East of Russia, which recently suffered a great damage of the large…

  Last week I attended an evening lecture at the Astrological Lodge of London (founded by Alan Leo in 1915). The lecturer was talking about 4th house and ancestors in a natal chart, and was mainly focused on family matters (type of family, internal relationship, etc). But there is yet another meaning of 4th house, and I was more interested in learning about that – the real estate and immovable property of an individual. When the lecturer asked people in the audience to give her examples of their natal 4th houses, and at the end, one lady mentioned her cusp of 4th house in Cancer with Jupiter…

• Libra South Node, Libra Moon

  Elizabeth Spring

  11 Nov 2009 | 4:51 pm

  In Evolutionary astrology we look at the South Node with eyes that are biased to see what unfinished business, what blockage, what challenge was not met—either earlier in this life or in a former life. So, we read the South Node negatively. To read the “Venus ruled” Libra negatively can be hard, because there is so much charm and personality there. It’s similar to saying “that nice person at the party/the job/the meeting wasn’t really so nice after all.” Too much niceness, too much ‘trying to make the peace at any price’, too much caring what the other person thinks and…

  The South Node represents what we’ve come into this life with---the gifts, the wounds, the challenges. On the most basic level, the South Node is where we are comfortable because we are familiar with the territory, and with the South Node in Taurus, or with the Moon in Taurus, we know the delights of being comfortable, being sensual and sexual, having a sense of financial and emotional security, and enjoying the things in life that make it worth living. Venus rules Taurus, and this is the part of us that values the ground we stand on, our relationships, beauty, good food and drink, and…

Yes, they each are different—dare I say “slightly?”—in that the Moon describes your obvious emotional and nurturing style in this life and how you relate to all things “maternal” including your Mother. However, the Moon's Nodes—are the Nodes of the Moon! And the South Node specifically holds the emotional memory of the Soul, so the story goes back further…

In fact, while planetary transits explain the significant events, the periods give an amazing insight into major trends in US history. The chart indicates a similar major shift will take place in US politics from around 2016, with a general improvement lasting for several decades.The Gilded Age (1865-1896)The Gilded Age is considered to have reigned in the USA for roughly the three last decades…

Actually, the predictions pretty much "nailed it." The following timeline of the financial crisis and predictions made demonstrate this in a convincing manner.EMERGENCE OF CRISISOn January 6, 2007, one of the first predictions was made on the basis of the SAMVA USA chart. In it, "financial/market setbacks" were predicted for the Spring of 2007. The sub-prime crisis that erupted in early 2007 is considered the…

  The divine planet Jupiter has in 2009 been transiting its sign of debilitation, Capricorn (in the sidereal zodiac). During this time, it is perhaps not surprising to find that the cultural spotlight has been prominently placed on things that are generally not considered divine, rather the opposite, or irreligious things. Irreligion is defined as an absence of religion, indifference to religion, and/or hostility to religion. [1] Of course, in the Kailyuga (iron) age, the tendency is for pervaisive materialism. However, even within this materialistic age, the religious tendency would be…

  Yet another mundane prediction based on the Systems' Approach has been realised. Earlier this year, when oil was below $40 it was predicted to rise in 2009. Indeed, the oil price has been rising throughout 2009. Saturn entered Virgo in early September and the oil price is now more than double its price at the beginning of the year, but less than the peak reached in 2008 when Saturn was in Leo. It was also predicted that the oil price would remain below the earlier peak of mid 2008. So far, this prediction has also been fulfilled.Oil hits $82 per barrel as dollar plungesAP - 4:07 pm EDT,…

  Many Western astrologers assume modern Western astrology owes its origins to the discovery of astrology by the ancient Babylonians. [1] They also consider that astrology was further developed by the Egyptians of antiquity before reaching its penultimate stage in the Hellenic world. Further, they consider that the 'horoscopic astrology' of the Hellenic world informed astrology in India. At the same time, the evidence suggests 'horary astrology' was originally developed by Indian astrologers. [2] The above conclusions are strictly based on an interpretation of the literary record.

  Birthday is a terrific time to appreciate the development of the past year and look forward to a new cycle of growth. As the Sun returns to its natal position each year, it shines light on our core life intent and makes it easier for us to live from our center (i.e. the place of rest, peace, power and authenticity). Many people consult their astrologers around their birthdays for this very reason.Today is my Solar return, and I wanted to meditate a bit on the core life intent represented by my natal Sun:Sun's Sign & House PlacementMy Scorpio Sun in the 8th house suggests that one of my…

  Hiroki Niizato

  The Sun and the King ArchetypeIn astrology the Sun represents our core authentic self. The Solar journey is a quest for true self knowledge and authenticity.Think of the last time you felt really centered and able to feel the joy of being fully alive in the moment. That was a Solar moment, where you were most likely expressing true facets of your being. All of our fears, challenges and personal shortcomings fade away when we are in that special moment.Robert Bly called this Solar experience as "being in the presence of the King." King (or Queen) is an image frequently connected to the…

  Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But I think it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, I decided that we could use some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. 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…

  Here's the horoscopes for November:Aries21st March – 20th AprilSaturn has now moved into the relationship angle of your chart, for a two year stay. Saturn is the planet of expectations, of those we place on ourselves and others, so this is what relationship issues are going to revolve around for the foreseeable. This is the time when you find out if those expectations serve you: if set your sights too low for your self-belief to cope with, you’ll recognise the flat feeling of un-fulfilment; set them too high and you’ll keep being disappointed. The key to this is adjusting self-belief,…

Its part of a long-term repeating cycle going on at the moment, most noticeable in your day to day running of things and how you get the tangles, knots and spanners out of your works. The way to get the best out of this planet energy is to be open to sudden solutions. Watch them flash in, through dreams, daydreams or from someone you least expected. It comes when you aren’t pushing for the answer you see; the universe seems to go for nonchalance and no pressure.

Eclipses seem to set future events in motion, by amplifying the emotional significance of events happening around the time of the eclipse, which future events then seem to unfold out of quite naturally; all within the symbolism of the sign involved. They set a certain tone or a theme for months, sometimes years to come, through the emotional response that events at the time of eclipse seem to invite, or sometimes demand. This eclipse is in the sign of Cancer, so is uber-emotional anyway, being the sign of emotional…

I wrote a little program to show local time zone equivalents which is here. The Moon has its Fall in Scorpio. Traditionally a planet in its Fall would be considered to feel a bit “fucked up and far from home” in that sign, it’s the place where it’s least comfortable, and so where it can become insecure, defensive, frightened. In Scorpio, the style of dealing with this could well involve brooding, getting lost in…

The signs alternate between Yin and Yang, and in that sense represent the wave-like flow of life - we have to reflect and take things in (Yin) before we’re in a position to put out what we’ve discovered (Yang), and then rest and reflect again, etc., in a neverending cycle.

Venus enters the water sign of Scorpio on 9 November, 2009 and while it is there, it teaches us that love is also passion, passion is also torment and sometimes torment is transmuted into death and transformation. Now, why would someone talk about death and transformation when they talk of Venus? Isn’t Venus about love and romance and all those other nice things? Yes, she is. But Scorpio is the sign of her…

  Sun in Leo, in the Sixth There are many information-rich posts waiting to be written. But I want to do a good job, so, of course, I procrastinate. In the meantime, I sent a message to my friend Evelyn Roberts and the subject line read, “Confessions of an Astro Nerd.” What a good title for a blog post, I says to myself. So here are some of mine. Send me some of your and I’ll add them to this post. My Moon is in Scorpio. In its fall. I don’t care. I love my intense Moon. Intensely, of course. My Venus falls in Virgo. I think I’m envious of people with a strong, happy Venus. Okay, I…

• Difficult Transits, Hope and Jupiter Direct

  Hello my Fellow Traveler, How’s it going for you? Difficult transits? Yeah, me too. ::sigh:: Chiron’s been opposing the ruler of my sixth house: my dog died last month and my cat’s not well. Cat wouldn’t allow me to take him to the vet; and when the good doctor came home, he wouldn’t allow the tired man to do an examination. Now Cat’s hiding in my cupboard (even though that’s forbidden territory) and I’m exhausted. The Chiron opposition is not all that ails me. I believe the current sky’s making a grand cross in my chart: there’s trouble everywhere I turn. And I’m…

• Friday Time Clock #3: The Hermit Issue

  Shannon

  13 Nov 2009 | 9:06 am

  Photo by Felipe Gabaldón (cc) The Time Clock started as an offshoot of Havi Brooks’ nifty weekly check-in ritual, now known as the Friday Chicken, over at The Fluent Self. After years in cooking, and because we’re all about the march of time here, my weekly review requires clocks, and usually kitchen notes. If you want you can join me in the comments, too. It’s Friday the 13th! *spooky noises* This is sort of anticlimactic for me, though. I had a black cat as a kid, I’m left-handed, I have Mercury retrograde. I already fall on the wrong side of superstition. Big…

Which I did… like Molly, I keep a subscription to astro.com’s Personal Daily Forecast, since my own things sneak up on me. And lo, my Mercury return arrived late last night! I’ve never thought of it as a particularly witty moment before, but if my brain is turned up to 11 right now, that would be a natural side effect. So what exactly does a Mercury return entail, anyway? Any planet has a return when it comes…

  Photo by Peter Rinblad (cc) Over at The Fluent Self, Havi has a weekly ritual that has become known as the Friday Chicken, a little check-in moment that started about a year ago. After years in the kitchen, and because we’re all about the march of time here, the idea of punching a time clock seemed like a good mental image to me. So here we go. The good stuff this week: I’ve been cooking at home more, and I’ve been getting to cook for my friends more too, which is terrific. I love entertaining. Those domestic spreads you see in lifestyle magazines and wedding rags, with the…

  Photo by Ross Berteig (cc) I have almost no water in my chart, but I have a Uranus-Lilith-Venus conjunction (along with Juno and Vesta, for you asteroid junkies out there) in my fourth house. The fourth house is, among a few other things, all about your home, how you feel about it, and how you tend to behave there. Uranus in the fourth often brings unusual taste in furnishings, a love of home electronics or gadgetry, and can represent frequent moves in early life. For me? Check, check, and check. I never know how to answer people when they ask me where I’m from; nowadays it just depends…

  Photo by Michel Villeneuve (cc) I’ve been studying astrology for almost fifteen years now, and it still amazes me how I can find new things in my chart all the time. There’s definitely a subjective angle to analyzing your own information, because I’ve overlooked or trivialized countless things that would be patently obvious to me in someone else’s chart. My most recent example is a biggie: it never sunk in for me that I have a big fat yod, with my Sun-Jupiter in the 3rd and Neptune in the 5th pointing out that tenth house Chiron.

  Mark Shulgasser

  18 Nov 2009 | 8:42 am

  Boris Karloff: wouldn’t we like him to be a Scorpio? Actually he barely escaped it, born at 10:30 am (it is said), when the Sun, whose disc takes a whole day to pass from one degree to the next, was about 80% over the cusp into degree zero of Sagittarius. . . . But Sag is open and good-humored, not at all Scorpio--gothic, intense, secretive, moody, the typical Halloween horror cliche, so what gives? . . . . . Looking at Karloff’s chart , we see nothing else in Sag to reinforce that almost home-free-all Sun but a vivid close conjunction of Jupiter/Mercury in Scorpio, as if…

• Aries Botero, Valentino and Red

  Fernando Botero, (b. April 19, 1932): Femme habillee par Valentino. Aries painter Botero is not afeard of red, for sure, tho I wouldn't say it plays a special role in his work. But he was attracted by fashion designer Valentino's great romance with the color. Valentino is a Taurus, but the Sun is his sole Taurus planet, while his chart's outstanding element is a powerful triple conjunction in Aries of Mars, Mercury and Uranus (all trine Jupiter), which he shares with Botero, who was born only three weeks before him.

• Aquarius and the Rainbow

  Stellar spectra Color associations to the signs and  planets are not rigidly assigned, and are based on subjective psychological affinities. Some are no-brainers, like red being associated with the planet Mars and the sign Aries (which is “ruled” by Mars)  -- the war god evokes blood, anger (seeing red), the red planet, even the iron (oxide) of weaponry, which is also the source of blood’s color. Then the Moon and its associated sign, Cancer the Crab, suggests silver or white, also the moonlike pearl and nacre, esthetic essence of the crustacean. Some signs have…

• Freud: Taurus or Pisces?

  Mark Shulgasser

  16 Oct 2009 | 9:57 pm

  For some time I’ve been pursuing the idea that Freud’s correct birthday was March 6, not May 6. The almost universally accepted May 6, 1856 date (6:30 pm, Freiberg, Moravia, now Pribor, Czech Republic) appears authoritatively in the first sentence of Freud’s official biography, written by his close associate and disciple, Ernest Jones. Yet that very sentence bears a footnote (deleted from the abridged edition) joking that the actual birth may have taken place two months earlier, seven months after the wedding of Freud’s parents. Freud wrote a book called Jokes and…

  10 Oct 2009 | 1:24 pm

  After long absence, and to dispel the heavy atmosphere I’ve breathed, something a little silly perhaps, arbitrary and unchronological, entirely consequent on the vagaries of TCM programming. This goes back to Gemini, the Hands, and the Taurus cusp. Remember the beloved, underutilized Robert Montgomery? Born exactly on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini (Sun was at 29d30’ Taurus at noon on his time-unknown birthday), this is arguably his best film. On the poster his dense, puzzled face contemplates his murderous digits, detached, vaguely disturbed,  with a glimmer of dawning…

  Welcome to a tense week on Planet Earth. It begins with a potent Full Moon in Taurus. Full Moons can set your teeth on edge to begin with, but this moon has the added weight of being a bit of a monster. Kind of appropriate on the heels of Halloween, dontcha think?This Full Moon sets up a planetary configuration known as a fixed grand square. Sun and Moon are opposite each other in the skies (which results in a full moon), and are at square angles with Mars and Jupiter, also opposing each other. The tension created by a Grand Cross is pretty strong and will challenge each of us as demands come…

  Are you a student of astrology? If so, you’ll know that one of the more challenging aspects of astrology lies in understanding how the planets relate to each other. When planets are in dialogue with each other (or forming specific angles) they are said to be in aspect together. As with human conversations, some planetary dialogues are smooth, others less so. At any rate, I’ve just read a new book by astrologer Matthew Currie entitled Conquer The Universe With Astrology Book One: Aspects! In keeping with Matthew’s style, this is a really witty and easy to comprehend explanation of the…

  If astrology works and if it does predict correctly in our lives, then it must indicate that there is only destiny at work and as individuals we have no choice or decision in our future.  I bring this matter up after listening to some very respectable astrologers discussing the matter, defending both sides of the issue.  The following essay is my thoughts on the matter, and you as the readers have the right to decide what your conclusions will be.  In one respect I feel there are some parts of our future that is definitely destiny, that part of our life which we have no control of.  For…

This heralds yet another shift away from the intensity of Scorpio.  The energy of Sagittarius is bold, large and optimistic - ruled by Jupiter it expands everything it touches, yearns to a brighter and better future and vehemently gallops to his vision, his quest - pointing his arrow of intent.  It is an athletic sign - in the sense that movement is paramount and it doesn't mind shifting gears either - it possesses warmth, generosity and flexibility.
