Mars in the news: The Opposition and Blood Moon

Last updated on: April 7, 2014 at 10:19 pm By Lynn Hayes

Astrological Mars is retrograde right now and moving much more slowly than it normally does (from our perspective on earth). Consequently, its impact is more intense with a heightened feeling of aggression and inspiration towards action. Mercury entered Mars’s own sign of Aries yesterday which adds additional fire to the mix and adding excitement and perhaps a few arguments to interpersonal communication everywhere. Mars of course is instrumental in the upcoming Grand Cross of planets in the cardinal signs of... Read more

An astrological look at the US economy

Last updated on: April 4, 2014 at 6:12 am By Lynn Hayes

A dear friend of mine, who shall remain nameless but I’m sure she’s not alone, been frightened by the dire predictions of another astrologer friend of hers who has predicted that the US economy will collapse in 2014 and 2015. Contrarian that I am, I have a different view. Yesterday’s post looked back at 2010 to see how we got to the place where we currently find ourselves. Economists say now that we entered the global recession in December 2007... Read more

Introduction to the April Grand Cross

Last updated on: April 1, 2014 at 8:52 am By Lynn Hayes

Unlike recent months which have been full of minor planetary aspects that move quickly and don’t create lasting impressions, April’s big news is the Cardinal Grand Cross which will be building throughout the month but will peak in the middle of the month beginning with the lunar eclipse on April 15th and continuing through the following week. Some of you will remember back in 2010 and 2011 when there were similar alignments as Uranus and Pluto began their dance and... Read more

Aries New Moon astrology and the April Grand Cross

Last updated on: March 30, 2014 at 5:18 pm By Lynn Hayes

Today’s New Moon is in the cardinal sign of Aries – the first sign of the Spring season. There is a sense of new beginnings – of pregnant anticipation. Something is about to burst forth, to blossom and the old is made new again. The New Moon occurs today at 2:45 pm Eastern and falls at 9 degrees Aries. Both the Sun and Moon link up with Uranus, the planet of revolution, encouraging us to shed the shackles of the... Read more

The astrology of L’Wren Scott

Last updated on: March 28, 2014 at 7:18 am By Lynn Hayes

Dear readers – do not despair, I will soon be bringing you soothing words to calm your fears over the upcoming Grand Cross that is causing tabloid news to shiver around the globe. But meanwhile I have been fascinated with the personage that was L’Wren Scott who took her own life last week. The birthchart of L’Wren Scott (born 4/28/1964 time unknown) shows someone who was born at the peak of the conjunction of Uranus to Pluto in 1964, with... Read more

Anger and heart disease

Last updated on: March 19, 2014 at 8:08 am By Lynn Hayes

Connections between anger and heart disease are nothing new, and a recent New York Times article announces that anger can set off a heart attack. Researchers combined data from nine studies of anger outbursts among patients who had had heart attacks, strokes and related problems. Most of the studies used a widely accepted anger assessment scale; one depended on a questionnaire administered to patients. They found that in the two hours after an outburst of anger, the relative risk of... Read more

Where the heck have I been, and other musings

Last updated on: March 16, 2014 at 4:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

A cardinal rule of blogging is to avoid apologizing when posts are few and far between. But many of you have been with me since I began this blog in 2005, and I apologize for having abandoned those of you who rely on the wisdom of the planets to navigate a world that can often seem chaotic. I know that this wisdom can be found elsewhere, but I frankly like being a mouthpiece for the planets and enjoy the camaraderie... Read more

Planetary news this week: Mars and Saturn change direction

Last updated on: March 5, 2014 at 7:52 am By Lynn Hayes

I am late with the Planetary Illuminations report this week, but you all may be feeling the influence of Mars turning retrograde on March 1st followed immediately by Saturn on the 2nd. Planets don’t travel backwards, but because astrologers view the movement of the planets from our perspective on earth they sometimes appear to travel in reverse direction. Before a planet changes direction its movement slows down to a crawl and they appear stationary in the sky at the time the... Read more
