Britain cracks down on astrologers

Last updated on: June 9, 2008 at 1:59 pm By Lynn Hayes

New consumer protection regulations in Britain classifies astrologers along with fortune tellers and double-glazing salesman under a new consumer protection act. Astrologers, faith healers and spiritual advisers will now have to post a sign that says “for entertainment purposes only.” Consumer protection is a wonderful thing, and I am all for prohibiting fraudulent treatment of consumers under any circumstances. But astrological consultations are NOT for entertainment purposes only! From the Times UK: Andy Millmore, a partner at the law firm Harbottle... Read more

Sunday Inspiration: Awakening the Heart

Last updated on: June 8, 2008 at 3:00 pm By Lynn Hayes

Venus and Mercury are conjunct right now in Gemini, along with the Sun, and the power of Venus to soften the mind (Mercury) is illuminated by the Sun and offers an opportunity to open the doors to the wisdom of the heart. A sextile from both planets to Mars today helps to activate this opening if we choose to do so. This is a perfect day for the pursuit of bodhichitta, the spirit of awakening in which the Self becomes... Read more

Astrology in the Mainstream: Mother Earth News!

Last updated on: June 6, 2008 at 11:06 pm By Lynn Hayes

Thanks to Astrococktail for this enlightening link about America’s Seventh Saturn Return by astrologer Robert Cole that appeared in Mother Earth News in 1981. I love it when astrology is taken seriously by the mainstream media! On October 22, 1981—in the midst of a massive solar system alignment which is currently happening in the ancient zodiacal symbol of Libra—the United States experienced its seventh Saturn return. (The return of Saturn in Libra occurs only once in approximately 29 years, and... Read more

The light side of Mercury Retrograde

Last updated on: June 4, 2008 at 11:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

Even my assistant, who doesn’t believe in astrology, now is an expert on Mercury Retrograde. The expression “forewarned is forearmed” was never truer than when dealing with Mercury’s retrograde travel time. So I was pleased to see this article posted in Astrology News: There is an ancient Roman saying: “Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.” Called or not called, the god will be there. Since the god Mercury or Hermes (the Greek equivalent) in retrograde is inevitably going to come... Read more

Into the Matrix in the Aquarian Age

Last updated on: June 4, 2008 at 3:55 am By Lynn Hayes

In the news today: Children will learn by downloading information directly into their brains within 30 years, the head of Britain’s top private schools organisation has predicted. Chris Parry, the new chief executive of the Independent Schools Council, said “Matrix-style” technology would render traditional lessons obsolete. He told the Times Educational Supplement: “It’s a very short route from wireless technology to actually getting the electrical connections in your brain to absorb that knowledge.” Mr Parry, a former Rear Admiral, spent...

Hillary Clinton and the New Moon chart

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

Reports are mixed as to whether Hillary Clinton will end her campaign after the last two primaries today. On Countdown last night: Senator Hillary Clinton appears on the verge of suspending her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, and endorsing Senator Barack Obama. That, the widespread reading of the electoral tea leaves today, after a tidal wave of separate reports that add up to the end, in sight, probably by tomorrow night. In our fifth story on the Countdown —... Read more

Skywatch is posted!

Last updated on: June 1, 2008 at 2:44 pm By Lynn Hayes

Skywatch for June has been posted, offering a tantalizing look at the delicious planetary opportunities in store for us this month. Here’s a tidbit: Welcome to June! Because we have a number of planets changing direction this month, turning retrograde and direct, the influences of the outer planets are particularly strong now. When planets change their apparent direction (of course they are not actually turning backwards, it just looks that way from earth) they slow down, just as a car... Read more

Obama Quits His church: The Mars Factor

Last updated on: June 1, 2008 at 12:38 am By Lynn Hayes

Barack Obama quit his longtime association with the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago today. Under the influence of transiting Pluto (destruction) in opposition to Venus (relationships) in Obama’s chart, the longtime association between Obama and Pastor Jeremiah Wright blew up in a very public way. This bust-up was coming for quite some time, as seen in the progressed chart of Barack Obama which shows his progressed Mars conjunct progressed Mercury in Libra, within minutes of a challenging aspect...

Scott McClellan: The Emperor Isn’t Wearing Any Clothes!

Last updated on: May 30, 2008 at 10:52 am By Lynn Hayes

Scott McClellan is not the first Bush insider to write an expose of the disaster that is the Bush presidency, but he is the most surprising. James Hoopes, author of Hail to the CEO: The Failure of George W. Bush and the Cult of Moral Leadership says that Bush is the target of more tell-all books than any other American president including books by former terrorism czar Richard Clark, Treasury secretary Paul O’Neill, and David Kuo, former head of Bush’s...
