Some (like me!) have trouble sleeping. Some have no experience... Read more

(Note: There are many different astrological charts for the United States and lots of arguments among astrologers about which ones is correct. I use the Sibley chart with Sagittarius rising, and here’s why. ) The Solar Return chart is a chart that is cast for the exact moment the Sun in the sky returns to the same degree as the natal chart. Many astrologers use the Solar Return chart to forecast the details of the next twelve months in an... Read more
Thanks to the Astrological News Service for this article. No one who owns one doubts the family pooch exhibits personality traits that seem remarkably human at times. Is there a way to rationally explain this? Incredibly, a new book describing the original and unusual research pursuits of award-winning French scientist Suzel Fuzeau-Braesch presents rigorous proof that humans and animals — specifically pedigreed pups and cloned cows — are behaviorally impacted by where the major planets turn up in their astrological birth...

When Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn in 2008, there was a huge contraction in the business world as well as a global recession, and many people lost their jobs.
