Lindsey Lohan has been blessed with beauty and success, but over the past year she has become the subject of tabloid headlines. Most recently she was arrested for drunk driving and the possible possession of cocaine. (See birthchart link.) Lindsey was born under the sign of Cancer – symbolized by the crab, Cancerians are sensitive, emotional, and can be prickly. Lindsey’s Sun is opposed by Neptune, the misty planet that represents creativity and spirituality but also the blurring of boundaries,... Read more

Leslie over at Karmic Knowledge has posted a very interesting article about Jerry Falwell’s karmic choice between fundamentalism and freedom. She posts a quote from writer Steven Pressfield that I found particularly potent: …The human being isn’t wired to function as an individual. We’re wired tribally, to act as part of a group… We know what the clan is; how to fit into the band and the tribe. What we don’t know is how to be alone. We don’t know... Read more

I have long been fascinated by the possibility of forecasting the weather by the planets and I recently found a website (unfortunately I don’t recall the path I took) called The Weather Alternative that is quite interesting. Here in North Carolina we could really use some rain, and summer hurricanes off the Atlantic coast usually provide that rain for us. The Weather Alternative reports: June 5-8, 2007:The opposition between the Sun and Jupiter will trigger the lunar eclipse of March... Read more

I was a student during the Vietnam war, and in demonstrations and marches against the war we decried the philosophy of our government that killing for peace made sense. On September 11 we were attacked by Osama bin Laden, and 2,646 Americans were killed. Since then, 3,813 Americans have been killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 398 private contractors of various nationalities have been killed. Nearly 7,000 Iraqi forces have been killed, and anywhere from 60,000 to over... Read more

Actually, our Sun sign actually has very little to do with our personality but instead is much more about your essential mission on Planet Earth. The personality is described by the ascendant and the relationship between the other planets. So an astrology cookbook might not be that useful. A Latvian publisher has produced a cookbook with Latvian recipes for different signs, such as spicy food for Aries (fire sign), root vegetables for Virgo (an earth sign), soups for Cancer (water... Read more

Urania has a wonderful post subtitled “The Magic of Believing”: Fairy Godmother’s magic can only last so long, and when midnight strikes, the coach turns back into a pumpkin. Ah, the pain of disillusion. We’re all there to some extent: feeling a bit lost and wondering if we really must grow up, as Saturn, ruler of time and bringer of old-age, stands opposing Neptune, fantasist, ecape-artist, and ideologue. Neptune goes Stationary Retrograde on May 24, 2007 at the 23rd degree... Read more

It’s no secret that the most brilliant comedians are often depressed and angry individuals who release their frustration through comedy, and Rosie O’Donnell is no exception. Rosie was born with the Sun in Aries, the sign that is ruled by the god of war. The Aries influence is dynamic and inspirational but can also be rebellious and impulsive. Rosie O’Donnell exhibits all of these character traits. Mars in her chart, the planet that rules her Aries Sun, falls in the... Read more

My friend and tarot goddess Beth Owl’s Daughter recently sent me a link to her blog which I am enthusiastically adding to the blogroll under Cool Sites and Blog Friends. This is a beautiful site with inspiration and tips for leading a more magical life. An excerpt: In most spiritual traditions, the garden is viewed as a holy place. Since the dawn of civilization, gardens have been sacred sites for the invocation of the Gods, for meditation, inspiration, and reflection.... Read more

photo from the NYT archive Asena asked in a comment, “What do you think about JFK’s birthchart? Is his birthtime accurate in your opinon.I somehow started to think that he might ha ve a different ASC than Libra after I read an article regarding his health problems.It seems to me that there is not indicators of the diseases he had diagnosed in his Libra rising birthchart.” I hadn’t really looked at JFK’s chart and took a quick look to respond... Read more

John Townley made a comment in response to the earlier post “A Sad Tale” about a man who killed his son because of his astrological chart. John noted: One of the results of having astrology as a major part of the culture is that you get a lot more really strange and often tragic stories. In the last year we’ve linked tales from the Subcontinent and environs that include the astrologer who led a lynch mob (because of an improper... Read more
