Robin Williams to divorce

Last updated on: March 31, 2008 at 12:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

Photo by Jeff Vespa/WireImage.com Marsha Garces Williams, wife of actor Robin Williams, filed for divorce last week citing “irreconciliable differences”. Although Robin is best known for his comedic skills, he has a long history of drug and alcohol addiction and it is rumored that Marsha filed divorce papers after her ultimatum failed to wean him from his addictions. The astrological chart of Robin Williams shows a fascinating blend of comic genius and tragic emotional pain, the combination of which appears... Read more

Sunday Inspiration for stillness

Last updated on: March 30, 2008 at 9:36 pm By Lynn Hayes

When we look around we can see a lot of things to worry about. But deep within is a silent stillness that carries us back to our Selves and transcends all worry and doubt. The wind is the breath of heaven and earth. Into every corner it unfolds and reaches;Without choosing between high or low,Exalted or humble, it touches everywhere. – Song Yu (290-223 BCE) Read more

‘A Nation of Enrons”

Last updated on: March 28, 2008 at 8:08 pm By Lynn Hayes

This was in my inbox today. Those of us who follow astrology will not be surprised to read from the Motley Fool that the corporate culture is collapsing under the influence of Pluto (breakdown and transformation) in Capricorn (business, achievement, capitalism): Half a decade ago, the entire nation was shocked when award-winning “innovator” Enron turned out to be little more than a cash-shredding pyramid scheme. The crucial failing for investors was Enron’s use of opaque, “mark-to-market” accounting. The problem comes... Read more

“The Personals Meet the Transpersonal” and other Planetary news

Last updated on: March 27, 2008 at 11:57 pm By Lynn Hayes

Thanks to KT The Astrologer for posting this lovely article on the conjunction right now of Uranus to Mercury and Venus (perhaps that’s why most of my day has been spent dealing with malfunctioning telecommunications equipment??): It can be a very interesting time when a personal planet conjuncts a transpersonal planet in the sky as both are functioning from very different levels. So when they meet it’s like the college student and the 2nd grader working on the same project.... Read more

“Iraq is exploding”

Last updated on: March 25, 2008 at 11:56 pm By Lynn Hayes

Last week I commented, “Judging from the chart for the war in Iraq, events are about to make a surprising turn. After two years of a challenging transit (square) from Pluto to the Sun/Mercury conjunction in the chart, which seems to have had the effect of relentless and unending death and destruction (Pluto), Uranus (radical change) is about to transit Pluto (power and transformation) in the invasion chart.” Noting a strong Chiron influence, I was hoping for some healing to...

Was Hillary Clinton Crucified on Friday’s Grand Cross?

Last updated on: March 25, 2008 at 4:58 pm By Lynn Hayes

I apologize in advance to my dear readers who are Clinton supporters. A bit of snark may leak into this post. Most of you are probably aware by now of Senator Clinton’s need to backpedal on some of the statements that she made about landing in the midst of sniper fire during her trip to Bosnia in 1996 which was first refuted by actor/comic Sinbad, who was along on that trip, and most recently exposed by CBS news who was...

Tibetan Astrology and the Planetary Winds

Last updated on: March 25, 2008 at 12:13 am By Lynn Hayes

The Kalachakra, or Wheel of Time. In light of the current riots in Tibet I was looking online for a chart of Tibet since my Book of World Horoscopes does not contain one, and came across a wealth of material on Tibetan astrology. I confess I never realized that Tibet had its own branch of astrology that evidently is derived from a combination of Indian and Chinese methods and has its roots in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. A site from the... Read more

Crucifixions and the Full Moon Grand Cross

Last updated on: March 24, 2008 at 12:51 pm By Lynn Hayes

Dharmaruci found this interesting correlation to the Grand Cross at last week’s Full Moon: Health officials in the Philippines have issued a warning to people taking part in Easter crucifixion rituals. (Note the Moon and Saturn will be in Virgo.) They have urged them to get tetanus vaccinations [they probably won’t – Neptune is unaspected] before they flagellate themselves and are nailed to crosses, and to practise good hygiene. On Good Friday dozens of very devout Catholics in the Philippines... Read more

Easter and the Equinox

Last updated on: March 24, 2008 at 12:51 am By Lynn Hayes

(reprinted from last year) Many people now know that Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are tied to pagan celebrations of cosmological events such as the solstices and equinoxes. Easter, a holiday that commemorates the time that Jesus supposedly rose from the tomb, was originally connected to both the Equinox and the full moon since it originally occurred on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon following the Vernal Equinox. This was likely calculated from observation of the... Read more

Five years later: The War in Iraq

Last updated on: March 23, 2008 at 12:57 am By Lynn Hayes

Judging from the chart for the war in Iraq, events are about to make a surprising turn. After two years of a challenging transit (square) from Pluto to the Sun/Mercury conjunction in the chart, which seems to have had the effect of relentless and unending death and destruction (Pluto), Uranus (radical change) is about to transit Pluto (power and transformation) in the invasion chart. Pluto sits prominently on the Midheaven of the chart which seems appropriate for the chart of... Read more
