If you know who created this wonderful image please let me know! I found this article on Reality Sandwich, which is a very cool website with lots of interesting writers and it occurred to me that this expresses one aspect of the conjunction of Chiron to Neptune which has been forming over the past several months. Chiron and Neptune will be within a degree of an exact conjunction in June, but due to their retrogradation the conjunction won’t be exact for... Read more

The Chinese New Year occurred at the time of the New Moon and the eclipse, ushering us into the Year of the Ox. I confess I don’t know much… well really, anything about Chinese astrology except that I am supposedly a dragon which I always thought sounded cool. At any rate, this is the year of the Ox, which seems to have some similarities with the sign of Taurus and its symbol the Bull. Wikipedia says that the Ox is... Read more
Timothy Geithner is the man that Barack Obama has entrusted with the challenging task of rescuing our economy from a global recession that astrologers have been expecting for many years. I have some doubts as to how much rescuing can actually be done until the diseased underlying system is rebuilt, but I am very curious to know more about Mr. Geithner. Very little is known about Mr. Geithner, but there is no doubt that he has been a part of the financial establishment that... Read more
The latest issue of The Mountain Astrologer has an article by Brad Kochunas which kind of bothered me. The article is called “In Praise of Melancholy,” so I expected to love it in light of my recent article “The Joy of Sadness.” Kochunas writes: Our psychological orientation via the humanistic transpersonal perspective is that we should spend our lives enthusiastically committed to seeking personal growth, self-actualization, peak experiences, liberation (i.e., expanded perspective) so far so good…but here’s where he loses me:...

This is a research project that I have been pondering, and now astrologer Rodney Smith has done the work for me: The interest in the Void-Of-Course moon (VOC) and the presidential inauguration on this blog has prompted me to do some research. Where a President dies or resigns the office, the Vice-President completes the Presidential term as President. This is called Presidency by succession. The following figures have been rounded within acceptable error for simplicity’s sake- The basic facts, • One... Read more

Mercury retrograde periods are a great time for reposting! I’m taking a few days off for some other creative projects so meanwhile please enjoy some of my favorite articles from the past. With my Mercury (thoughts and communication) in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto), Pluto’s naturally been on my mind (Mercury) a lot in a moderately obsessive (Pluto/Scorpio) way. To me the interesting thing isn’t Pluto’s so-called “demotion” (because how can the Lord of Death be demoted?). It’s the addition of... Read more
Mercury retrograde periods are a great time for reposting! I’m taking a few days off for some other creative projects so meanwhile please enjoy some of my favorite articles from the past. We have been duped by Hollywood and our own sense of incompleteness into believing that somewhere there is one perfect person who is our “other half,” someone who is our perfect complement and will make us feel whole again. This fantasy is problematic for several reasons. As any... Read more
Mercury retrograde periods are a great time for reposting! I’m taking a few days off for some other creative projects so meanwhile please enjoy some of my favorite articles from the past. In mythology, Chiron was born of Philyra, mortal woman, and Saturn, immortal god. In order to escape Saturn’s amorous pursuit, Philyra had herself turned into a mare; however, Saturn outsmarted her and shapeshifted into a horse in order to accomplish his intention to rape her. When Chiron was born... Read more
