Sarah Palin’s Astrological Chart

Last updated on: September 2, 2008 at 2:17 pm By Lynn Hayes

Many of you have asked me to post her chart, so here is the Solar chart, using noon as the birthtime since the time is unavailable. I know that Jude Cowell is using a sunrise chart which is for 7:06 am. WIth all respect to Jude, I prefer the noon chart because it provides a better idea of the placement of the Moon which travels about a degree every two hours Update: Sally McDonald at Astrowold has posted a 4:40...

Ride the Jupiter/Pluto Wave!

Last updated on: September 2, 2008 at 2:14 pm By Lynn Hayes

If you’ve been feeling like you’re treading water this summer, or going one step backwards for every two steps forwards, you’re not alone. Four traditional planets plus Chiron are retrograde now, and while this isn’t as many as the astonishing six planets retrograde that we had last summer, it’s still a significant number. This will change next week when Jupiter and Pluto both turn direct (move forward again) on the 8th. When the planets are moving retrograde they inspire/force us to go... Read more

Happy Labor Day! And Skywatch is Posted

Last updated on: September 1, 2008 at 2:49 pm By Lynn Hayes

The September issue of Skywatch, my monthly report of planetary news, is posted now on my website and you can read it here. Here are the general influences that we encounter as we enter September: The beginning of September finds us with a shortage of the fire and water elements, with a predominance of earth and air. Ever since Mars left Cancer in May, there has been a shortage of the water element in the placements of the major planets,... Read more

McCain’s Transits and the Palin Family Values

Last updated on: September 1, 2008 at 2:46 pm By Lynn Hayes

I know I said I was going to take a short break from politics, but this is just too wild. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s pick for Vice President, announced today that her 17-year old daughter Bristol is pregnant. This is a bit ironic in light of Governor Palin’s support for funding only abstinence education in schools. Bristol Palin is not married. Barack Obama says, “Back off these stories,” that families are off-limits. He reminds us that his mother was 18 when... Read more

The McCain-Palin Ticket: An Astrological Perspective

Last updated on: August 31, 2008 at 7:33 am By Lynn Hayes

Note: This will be my last political post for a short while – politics is fascinating but too much of anything is not always a good thing. An obsession with politics can too easily take us away from our own internal process and a life that is grounded in a greater reality. (If you missed Friday’s article about Sarah Palin, catch up here.) One of the most interesting tools that astrology provides is a glimpse into the inner workings of... Read more

McCain Picks a VP

Last updated on: August 29, 2008 at 9:02 pm By Lynn Hayes

Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, is John McCain’s new choice for Vice President. Palin brings an interesting combination of political and personal characteristics to the McCain ticket. She fought vigorously against the widespread corruption in the Alaska political system, even to the detrment of her own party. She hunts, fishes, and won a beauty pageant in 1984. She has five children including an 18-year old son who deploys soon to Iraq and an infant with Down Syndrome, and calls herself a... Read more

Negotiating Painful Family Situations

Last updated on: August 28, 2008 at 8:57 pm By Lynn Hayes

It is a commonly held belief among explorers of the New Consciousness that as souls, we work with our guides to choose the life that we will next be born into. For many people that’s a horrifying thought! Why would I choose the kind of torment I experienced as a kid? But the birthchart often reflects with eerie accuracy the psychological setting of the family of origin. Pluto conjunct the Moon – your mother seemed terrifying to you? Saturn square... Read more

The 2008 Election: The Generation Gap

Last updated on: August 27, 2008 at 8:55 pm By Lynn Hayes

The US Presidential Election this year has been a battle between the Pluto in Cancer generation (John McCain), the Pluto in Leo generation (Hillary and Bill Clinton) and the Pluto in Virgo generation (Barack Obama). Back in February I covered this in an article about the Clinton/Obama contest as a referendum between the early (Pluto in Leo) and late (Pluto in Virgo) boomers. The passion of the feelings in the comments on this earlier article reveal the intensity of the conflict... Read more

The Astrology of the Democratic Convention

Last updated on: August 25, 2008 at 1:58 pm By Lynn Hayes

The two overriding planetary aspects shadowing the Democratic National Convention over the next few days ia a long-term conjunction of Chiron (wounding and healing) to the North Node (the ascending point where the path of the Moon crosses the path of the Sun around the Earth, from our perspective on Planet Earth). The North Node is not a planet, but in astrology it symbolizes the path of our future evolution. The conjunction of Chiron to the North Node began back in... Read more
