Dharmaruci has a great post about getting things done before Christmas: Have you noticed that there is no point trying to arrange anything between now and Christmas that hasn’t already been arranged? It just won’t happen. There is a good astrological reason for this: the Sun is in the final degrees of a mutable sign, Sagittarius. A sign of excess and office parties, yes. But being mutable, and at the end of the sign, it is particularly good for just... Read more
Sunspot number 1035 is growing rapidly – according to Spaceweather it is now seven times wider than the Earth. We have been in a Solar Minimum since 2006, and during this period the Sun has been much more quiet than in most Solar Minimums (or is that Minima?) – in fact, the deepest Solar Minimum in the 100 years that scientists have been recording solar activity. At any rate, it does appear that solar activity has been increasing since September... Read more
In Part I we examined the dark side of Tiger Woods – his fascination with sexuality and the danger presented to him by his own self-destructiveness. But there is a lighter side to Woods as well. His Moon, representing his emotional security needs and the way that he processes his emotions, is in the expansive sign of Sagittarius. Woods has worked hard all of his life (Capricorn Sun), perfecting his craft (Virgo ascendant) and channeling the intensity of his nature... Read more
Crescent Moon Gatherer, by Mark Coyle. The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs at 7:02 am EST on the morning of December 16th. New Moons are times of new beginnings, and this New Moon offers the potential of a brand new understanding of what gives our life meaning. This is the realm that Sagittarius governs, and this New Moon also offers the potential for a radical shift in our understanding with a challenging square to Uranus, planet of shock and awe....

Dates and times are Eastern time zone; please adjust for your locality. You can also get daily planetary updates on Twitter or on the Astrodynamics fan page on Facebook. Moon enters Sagittarius the morning of the 14th and the Sun is in an energizing square to Uranus. Later in the evening the Sun forms a harmonious sextile to Jupiter. This is a day of exploration and adventure, there will be resistance to routine. The Sun is sextile Neptune on Tuesday enhancing intuition and creativity.... Read more
When I first wrote about Tiger Woods’ little accident outside his house, there was already a hint of impropriety, but who could have imagined the extent to which this drama has unfolded. As of today there are a total of 13 mistresses that have claimed to have been involved with Tiger Woods. As if that weren’t bad enough, his wife has purchased a home in her native Sweden, the local child welfare office paid the Woods’ home a visit, and... Read more
On the radio this morning: All about Uranus (please refrain from the usual scatalogical jokes!). I’m a little late on this topic but there has been much to talk about. Uranus recently changed direction and is picking up speed, so I thought this would be a good time to talk about the influence of Uranus both in our chart and in our ongoing lives. I’ll also spend some time talking about the “midlife crisis transits” of which Uranus is just... Read more
I found this article from April 1969 when I was looking for statistics on how many astrologers there are in the world today (according to Time Magazine, in 1969 there were 10,000 full time and 175,000 part-time astrologers in the US alone. I’m fairly certain right now we number in the millions). Remember in the late 1960s the hippie mystique was just going mainstream, with “flower child” boutiques and head shops springing up all over America and Europe. One notable... Read more
No, that doesn’t mean a stop on the bus route, and it’s not like a train station. A planet is said to make a “station” when it’s apparent action from our perspective on earth appears to slow down in preparation for a change of direction. Mars is stationing right now, and will travel only 20 minutes of arc before turning retrograde on December 20th. Mars is the planet of aggression and anger, so if you are feeling more intense than...
