Silver Winter, New Moon by Gary Milek. Though the actual lunation (lunar event) occurred in the wee hours of the morning, the effect of the New Moon and her ability to facilitate new beginnings and change lasts for three days so there’s still plenty of time to take advantage of it! The New Moon in Libra took place at 1:33 am Eastern time on October 18, beginning the new lunar cycle seeking the balance and beauty that Libra desires. At... Read more
The timing of my radio show about Visiocnrafting to coincide with the tragedy that ensued in Sedona is unfortunate, but I am going to use this example as an opportunity to distinguish the New Age hype of The Secret and other such books that tarnishes the work of serious practitioners like myself who work hard to help clients to improve and transform their lives. I am out of town this weekend and was planning to do the show from our... Read more
As Jupiter turned direct this week, the Dow rose above 10,000 for the first time in over a year, inspiring many financial experts to crow that the recession is over. The stock market has been in a continual upward climb since it fell to its lowest level in March of this year, driven primarily by optimism that an improving housing market and the recovery of the financial companies will drive the economy back into gear. We can tie this recovery... Read more
You can now read Astrological Musings on your Kindle, Amazon’s e-book reader. I just got one for my birthday, and I am pretty excited about it. Unfortunately, I cannot offer it at no charge and Amazon decided to put a price of $1.99 per month on transmitting it wirelessly to you. That’s their highest blog price so they must think it’s worth it. At any rate, I apologize for that but if you’d like to get AM on your Kindle... Read more
An escalating wave of violence struck Pakistan over the past eleven days is a hint of what I believe we will be seeing over the next few years as Uranus and Pluto begin to align in square formation. This kind of insurgency is gaining a foothold not only in Afghanistan and Iraq, but in Somalia, Pakistan, the Congo, Thailand and, according to Russian news reports, spilling over into central Asia such as Tajikistan. I’ll be writing more about this later,... Read more
The deaths of two people at a sweat lodge outside of Sedona have raised many questions. Led by self-help guru James Arthur Ray who achieved fame after appearing in the film “The Secret” and on Oprah’s television show, between 55 and 65 people gathered in a sweat lodge at Angel Valley Spiritual Retreat. The sweat lodge itself was a temporary structure about 415 square feet and about 4-1/2 feet tall, made of poles and tarps and blankets. The participants had... Read more
I had nearly forgot about Jeff Skilling, mastermind behind the fall of Enron in one of the largest corporate scandals in history. But it appears that after being sentenced to 24 years in prison, he will get a hearing before the Supreme Court on what seems to be a technicality – a definition of “honest services.” Speaking about Jupiter (good fortune) changing direction! Jupiter has been in trine formation with a trine from Jupiter to Neptune in Skilling’s chart –... Read more
Jupiter changes direction today, moving forward again after several months of retrograde travel. When planets change direction they slow down to a crawl and their influence becomes more powerful than ever. Jupiter’s influence is all about good luck and good fortune, as well as confidence and our potential for growth in all areas. There is a tendency towards generosity but also of indulgence. Jupiter is in Aquarius now, where it has been aligned with Chiron and Neptune since the early... Read more
I’m going to be off on Monday the 12th for my birthday, and my solar return is at 4:44 pm which if you’ve been following my Facebook updates is pretty hilarious. For the past few months I’ve been seeing repeating numbers everywhere. At any rate, if any of my astrologer friends feel like giving me a gift perhaps you might like to take a stab at my solar return chart which I’ve posted here. My natal chart is here. With...

If you’ve watched any TV over the past week, chances are you’ve seen the trailer for the new 2012 movie starring John Cusack. The special effects in this trailer are absolutely incredible, and it appears this will be a really terrifying movie. It’s a joke in my house that I can’t watch a movie unless it’s rated PG, and I think I’ll have to skip this one until it comes to the small screen in my house where I can... Read more
