Steven Tyler has been having a difficult time lately. In 2006 he was plagued by health problems including throat surgery and the revelation of Hepatitis C, and in 2008 he revealed that he was back in rehab for his addiction problems. This past summer he fell off the stage in South Dakota as his band Aerosmith toured the country, forcing the cancellation of several tour dates and leading to speculation that Tyler still has a drug problem. Since the fall... Read more
This is written for Eastern time zone, please adjust for your own locality. Moon begins the week in Aquarius – emotional detachment prevails. Lots of Venus this week! Venus in Scorpio squares Jupiter on the 23rd creating a fertile climate for social events; however, there is a possibility of broken dates (Jupiter) and demand for retribution (Scorpio Venus). Moon moves into Pisces on the 24th at 11:07 am bringing dreamlike wonder and mystery. The Sun forms a harmonious sextile to... Read more
This Sunday the Sun will have just entered the sign of Sagittarius, the sign of opportunity and adventure. We’ll be discussing the meaning of Sagittarius and how to keep an optimistic viewpoint without stepping over the edge into denial, and where positive thinking and reality can join in transformation. I’m glad the new time is working out so that more of you can listen live and call in to the show, but we have all been frustrated at how quickly... Read more
I’m a little behind on my newspaper reading so I just read the article by Nicholas Wade in the Times last weekend titled The Evolution of the God Gene. The concept of the “god gene” suggests that the desire to believe in a higher power is wired into the genetic makeup of human beings. Mr. Wade reports that in the Oaxaca Valley in Mexico archaeologists have uncovered evidence of a transition in religious experience from a simple dance floor for... Read more
Oprah will announce today that she will be stepping down in 2011 when her current contract expires. Oprah has dominated the talk show world for 25 years, and it’s not surprising that as she hits midlife she is choosing to take another path. The triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune that has been affecting everyone since February of this year has been particularly powerful in her chart for reasons I’ll explain below, and she likely is feeling a push...

Evidently I’m not the only one asking this question. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I’ve been very skeptical of the hysteria surrounding the swine flu which arrived just as Chiron and Neptune were aligning in conjunction. Chiron rules over matters of health and healing, and Neptune’s domain is mysteries and vaccinations so the rush to find a vaccination for the swine flu was to be expected. The addition of Jupiter to the mix... Read more
I found it interesting that this occurred right after Mercury (communication) squared the progressed Sun in the US chart at 1:53 am. The computer glitch occurred between 5:15 am and 5:30 am, and by 9 am flights were being canceled just as the Moon was moving out of Sagittarius (air flight) to Capricorn (grounded on the earth). Once the Moon moved into Capricorn at 10 am it was conjunct Pluto in Capricorn (transformation) and squared by Saturn (restriction, challenge). Probably... Read more
There’s an interesting discussion going on at Elsa’s site on this subject. Read more
You’ll get no argument from my 82-year old mother on this subject! People Magazine today named Johnny Depp the sexiest man alive, a title he first won back in 2003. I first profiled Depp in 2006: After many years of resisting commercial exploitation, Johnny Depp has become a major bankable star with the release of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Beginning with his breakout role in Twenty-One Jump Street, Johnny Depp has fought the Hollywood machine even though it meant foregoing roles that would... Read more
