Pluto in Capricorn and Bank Bailouts across the Globe

Last updated on: October 19, 2008 at 4:06 pm By Lynn Hayes

It’s interesting to see the way the fears of Pluto in Sagittarius is giving way to Pluto in Capricorn. In Sagittarius we fear (Pluto) the end of expansion, the end of available credit, the end of freedom, all Sagittarian concepts. As a result, governments (Capricorn/Saturn) around the world are starting to pour money and capital (Capricorn) into their banks (more Capricorn in the form of social structures and governments, which will likely result in the whole system exploding (Pluto) and...

“Saturn Returns” Opens Off Broadway

Last updated on: October 16, 2008 at 4:11 pm By Lynn Hayes

Image shamelessly stolen from Elsa. How perfect, that as Saturn opposes Uranus he gets a whole new audience off-Broadway (of course it’s off-Broadway rather than the more mainstream Broadway, Uranus is involved!). A new play by Noah Haidle called Saturn Returns opens tonight. From the Lincoln Center article: “The planet Saturn’s orbital return to its position at the moment of a person’s birth happens every 30 years,” press notes state. “In Saturn Returns, playwright Noah Haidle uses this phenomenon to...

Financial Astrology in the Mainstream Media

Last updated on: October 16, 2008 at 4:09 pm By Lynn Hayes

Henry Weingarten and Ray Merriman get a good writeup here. Henry says, “he’s been telling clients to keep lots of cash handy and advised them to buy Friday and sell Monday. Weingarten said he’s not right all the time, but using astrology along with looking at fundamentals and technical analysis allows him to be right more often.” Ray says, “Saturn and Uranus are in opposition — which happens every 45 years and is correlated to extreme highs and lows in...

Part III: The Opposition from Saturn to Uranus: 2008-2010

Last updated on: October 15, 2008 at 4:14 pm By Lynn Hayes

If you’re just finding us, catch up with Part I and Part II. The first stage of the opposition is beginning to align at this moment, and in the US election we’re seeing a vivid portrayal of the battle between the new America (Barack Obama) and the old America (John McCain). Saturn represents the voice of the establishment, “the way it has always been done.” Uranus is the innovator – the unusual. The One who does Not Belong. Over the... Read more

Mercury Rx at Beliefnet

Last updated on: October 14, 2008 at 4:17 pm By Lynn Hayes

Beliefnet has rolled out a great new site with a great new look. Unfortunately, their timing during Mercury retrograde was not particularly auspicious and there have been a lot of problems, including this blue background and black type. I suggest that you use your “select all” codes to highlight the text which will make it more readable. Hopefully all will be repaired by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience! Read more

Full Moon today!

Last updated on: October 14, 2008 at 4:15 pm By Lynn Hayes

The Moon is full today at 4:03 pm EDT with the Moon at 22 degrees Aries opposing the Libra Sun. Under the influence of the Full Moon, the Aries influence of the Moon supersedes the solar power of Libra and injects a note of individuality and primacy of one’s own needs (Aries) over the desire for harmony that Libra prefers. Wherever this Full Moon falls in your chart, the issues of that astrological house will be energized and receive a... Read more

Sunday Inspiration: The Age of Purification.

Last updated on: October 12, 2008 at 4:18 pm By Lynn Hayes

The Saturn/Uranus series will conclude tomorrow. The Hopi Indians have long understood the need for an Age of Purification to return our world to a more natural state. As we watch the Zeitgeist movies and contemplate the upcoming planetary cycles that will carry us into the Times of Change, these words, attributed to the Hopi Elders in Oraibi Arizona but not confirmed by the leaders of the Hopi Nation, have a comforting prescience. There is a river flowing now very... Read more

Part II: The Astrology of the Opposition from Saturn to Uranus: 2008-2010

Last updated on: October 11, 2008 at 4:26 pm By Lynn Hayes

This is a continuation of yesterday’s Part I. I have repaired some typos and unmangled some syntax in the original article. We can learn a great deal about the effect of the opposition between these two planets by looking back to the post. Back in the fall of 1917 Saturn in Leo began a series of oppositions to Uranus in Aquarius, and halfway through the cycle Uranus entered Pisces followed by Saturn’s entry into Virgo to mirror the opposition that...

Part I: The opposition of Saturn to Uranus: 2008-2010

Last updated on: October 10, 2008 at 4:27 pm By Lynn Hayes

This is Part I of an article that will conclude tomorrow. The planetary bodies in our solar system are engaged in a never-ending series of cycles that while repeating on a regular basis, continually unfold into a totally new experience of their effect on humanity. An opposition of Saturn to Uranus now will have a very different influence than it did 100 years ago because of the way human beings continue to change. Saturn is now, in mid-October 2008, moving into... Read more

Great New Political Blog: The Moon and the Debate

Last updated on: October 9, 2008 at 4:31 pm By Lynn Hayes

Thanks to April for the link to Terry Lamb’s new political blog. Her first few posts discuss the debate and the significance of Mercury retrograde in the election. I particularly like the way she talks about the effect of the Moon, something we (I) pay all too little attention to in addressing the effect of larger planetary cycles. Here’s what Terry says: It all hinged on the Moon. It was in late Capricorn during the debate, past any other planets... Read more
