Earth: The new Mars?

Last updated on: June 30, 2008 at 2:00 pm By Lynn Hayes

New evidence supports the theory that Mars may have been the home to life forms at one time: NASA researchers want to determine whether the planet could support, or ever has supported, life. The nutrients are among a few positive indicators they have gleaned since the Phoenix Mars Lander began collecting and testing soil samples last month. Early findings, including ice crystals and nutrients, point toward water — the chemical basis for life. Phoenix co-investigator William Boynton of the University... Read more

Sunday Inspiration

Last updated on: June 29, 2008 at 4:07 pm By Lynn Hayes

Astrology provides us with clues about the future, and sometimes that instills fear in us if we lose sight of the larger picture. Carlos Castaneda explains it here: The world of everyday life cannot ever be taken as something personal that has power over us, something that could make us, or destroy us, because man’s battlefield is not in his strife with the world around him. His battlefield is over the horizon, in an area that is unthinkable for the... Read more

Sagittarian Factoids

Last updated on: June 28, 2008 at 4:02 pm By Lynn Hayes

Dharmaruci had an interesting couple of posts a few days ago about factoids being the shadow side of Sagittarius. DR writes about the theories espoused by David Icke and others that the ruling class is actually a reptilian race: For a while this sort of belief had me a bit gobsmacked, like how can these people, who do not have mental health problems, believe these things? But then it occurred to me that it is no different to believing in... Read more

Retrograde Uranus in the News

Last updated on: June 27, 2008 at 2:54 pm By Lynn Hayes

Uranus turned retrograde last night, as it does every year, creating interesting sudden shifts and reversals for citizens of Planet Earth. Planets don’t really change direction, of course, but because astrology looks at the movement of planets from our perspective on earth it appears from time to time that planets slow down and then reverse course. When this occurs their influence is felt more intensely, especially if our personal planetary radio is tuned to the frequency of that planet (if... Read more

Are you left brained or right brained?

Last updated on: June 25, 2008 at 6:16 pm By Lynn Hayes

I was pretty sure I knew which way I would tilt in this test (thanks Elsa!) but I WAS surprised to see these results. I’m sure I love dogs more than 25%! You Are 25% Left Brained, 75% Right Brained The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you’re left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers... Read more

Obama, Mars/Uranus and the FISA bill

Last updated on: June 24, 2008 at 4:17 pm By Lynn Hayes

Last month I, along with other astrologers, reported on a challenging transit coming up for Barack Obama: the transit of Mars to his natal Uranus which coincided with a longer-range transit of Uranus to his natal Mars. I wrote at the time: There is, however, a dangerous aspect looming on the horizon: a “double whammy” combination of transits from Mars to Uranus and from Uranus to Mars. When these two conflict, there are fireworks and danger from accidents or violence... Read more

And now George Carlin…

Last updated on: June 23, 2008 at 2:07 pm By Lynn Hayes

Another great journalist has died: George Carlin succumbed to a heart attack yesterday at the age of 71. I expected to see a strong Uranus component to his chart since he was so irreverent and iconoclastic, and there is a wide conjunction of Uranus to a Sun/Mercury conjunction in Taurus. The combination of the Sun and Mercury indicates a brilliant mind with fixed ideas, and the presence of Uranus there illustrates the dislike of conventional thinking which is contrary to...

UFO sightings increase in the UK

Last updated on: June 23, 2008 at 3:46 am By Lynn Hayes

Following the unusual crop circle found near Barbury Castle, England last week, an hour away in Cardiff Wales: Stunned police gave chase to a UFO after it attacked their helicopter near a military base. The mystery aircraft zoomed straight at the chopper as the three-man cop crew prepared to land. The pilot banked sharply to avoid being hit, then launched into a high-speed pursuit. But he was forced to give up the chase as the helicopter’s fuel ran low –... Read more

Pluto and the 2008 Summer Solstice

Last updated on: June 22, 2008 at 2:30 pm By Lynn Hayes

The four tropical cardinal points of the year are commonly known as the Solstices and Equinoxes, commonly celebrated on the days that the Sun enters the four cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. For thousands of years these times have been celebrated as gateways from one season to another; from one perspective to another. The astrological chart for these gateways are thought to provide a glimpse of what is in store for the next few months. The most notable... Read more

Heath Ledger: A posthumous genius

Last updated on: June 21, 2008 at 3:00 pm By Lynn Hayes

It adds fuel to the tragedy of Heath Ledger’s early demise that his work in the latest Batman film is garnering reviews that call him the greatest actor of his generation. Although his death was considered accidental, the quantity of (legal) pharmaceutical drugs in his body indicate a troubled soul desperate for relief. Heath Ledger was determined to win fame through serious acting and not by capitalizing on his “pretty boy” looks. He won an Oscar nomination for his breakthrough... Read more
