Saturn/Uranus: Revolution in Iran

Last updated on: September 20, 2009 at 8:39 am By Lynn Hayes

Just after the opposition between Saturn and Uranus culminated last week, tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets of Tehran on Friday in a rare show of opposition against the pro-Palestinian rhetoric of Iranian president Ahmadinejad whose anti-Israeli speeches on Jerusalem Day gave rise to chants like this one: “Not Gaza, Not Lebanon, I’ll sacrifice my life for Iran.” Tension has been fomenting in Iran since the Iranian elections in June when Ahmadinejad won in a widely disputed landslide over...

Astrology and Rosh Hashanah

Last updated on: September 19, 2009 at 8:37 am By Lynn Hayes

Here is a fascinating article about the astrological correlations of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah: According to rabbinical lore, Adam and Eve, our primal parents, were created on Rosh Hashanah, which traditionally falls on the New Moon of the seventh month (see quote above). A closer look at the biblical text reveals that God did not only create Adam and Eve on the sixth day, but also gave birth to the concept of relationships. Friday, Veneris in Latin, named...

Gerald Celente: Revolution or Renaissance?

Last updated on: September 18, 2009 at 8:33 am By Lynn Hayes

One year after the fall of Lehman Brothers presaged a worldwide economic crisis, futurist Gerald Celente is predicting that a revolution has already begun in the United States. Many are decrying his “doom and gloom” predictions, but he is saying exactly what I have been saying myself: that you can’t keep repairing a house that is built on quicksand. The house has to be taken down and rebuilt on a firmer footing. To recap the astrological history: The entry of... Read more

Powerful Virgo New Moon on Friday

Last updated on: September 17, 2009 at 8:56 am By Lynn Hayes

art by Oxana Zuboff The New Moon on Friday September 18, 2009 captures all of the powerful September planetary events and provides us with an opportunity to pull them all together for the new lunar cycle. New Moons, remember, represent the beginning of a brand new lunar experience as the Moon conjoins the Sun and their dance begins anew. The New Moon is actually the dark of the Moon – the Sun completely obscures the Moon’s light, and we begin the... Read more

The people around us help us create our reality

Last updated on: September 16, 2009 at 7:53 am By Lynn Hayes

Now there’s even more scientific evidence for what most of us already know: our friends can make us fat, happy, and sad. The National Heart Institute has followed more than 15,000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts and their descendants, giving them comprehensive physicals every four years. This data has resulted in a treasure trove for medical research. Recently two social scientists, Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, began using this data to study behaviors of the participants. They discovered that good behaviors — like... Read more

Saturn/Uranus and “jackass moments”

Last updated on: September 15, 2009 at 8:52 am By Lynn Hayes

Kanye West has never been known for his humility or circumspect behavior. I wrote a post on him a couple of years ago after he compared himself to Jesus, and since then he hasn’t really mellowed much. But his behavior on Sunday night’s Video Music Awards program on MTV was really astonishing. Snatching the microphone away from Taylor Swift, winner in the “Best Female Video” category, he ranted that Beyonce should have won. President Obama called him a “jackass,”... Read more

What’s got into Serena Williams?

Last updated on: September 14, 2009 at 8:45 am By Lynn Hayes

Tennis legend Serena Williams (9/26/1981, unverified time of 8:26 pm in Saginaw, MI) gave a referee a piece of her mind on Saturday, costing her the game and the match. This sudden outburst is considered out of character for Serena, who rarely makes the news outside of the sports section. This can be explained partially by her astrology chart and the fact that Serena has five planets in the peaceloving sign of Libra: the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Mercury.... Read more

Are we heading into another “little ice age?”

Last updated on: September 13, 2009 at 7:44 am By Lynn Hayes

Maybe the solar warming skeptics are on to something. As you probably know, we are in a very deep solar minimum, with over 700 days with absolutely no sunspot activity since 2004. In fact, some scientists are beginning to speculate that sunspots may be gone for good: “Sunspot magnetic fields are dropping by about 50 gauss per year,” says Penn. “If we extrapolate this trend into the future, sunspots could completely vanish around the year 2015.” This disappearing act is possible because...

Pluto changes direction today, September 11, and Astrology in my world

Last updated on: September 11, 2009 at 7:41 am By Lynn Hayes

Today is the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but it’s also the day that Pluto changes direction. Planets don’t really move backwards, but they appear to do so because we observe their motions from our vantage point here on earth. When they do, we call that “retrograde motion” and Pluto has been retrograde since early April of this year. Pluto was the god of the Underworld, and he takes that role astrologically as well. He brings us into the... Read more

“Fed survey shows recession may be over”

Last updated on: September 10, 2009 at 6:39 pm By Lynn Hayes

And I’m as big an optimist as anyone so I’d like to believe it. The Federal Reserve surveyed businesses around the US and “found economic activity stabilizing or improving in most regions.” However, this growth is dependent upon consumer spending and people can’t spend money when they’re not working. I have been saying for the past few months that until we see employment numbers rising, the economy will not have turned around. People without jobs cannot spend money, and as... Read more
