Thank you Astrology News for posting this link from Oculus Divinorum with this link to an article by astrologer Victoria Bazely that mirrors my feelings on this issue EXACTLY!! I have a pet peeve, and like most pet peeves perhaps, it’s a bit hypocritical. My pet peeve is people who use astrology (or anything else really) to support a life run by fear. I’ve read that Nancy Reagan used to consult an astrologer before her husband did anything and wouldn’t... Read more

We are in range now of the Mars/Uranus conjunction which is exact on the 29th and occurs in concert to a square of Mars to Jupiter on the 30th. Mars moves relatively quickly, but these are intense energies that have a strong impact even though the experience will only last a week or so. This cycle will be softened somewhat by the fact that Mars is in Pisces and therefore more considerate of others, but in some ways that could... Read more

Although I am a news hound, I prefer to take my news with the biting sarcasm of Jill’s blog or the sophomoric humor of Jon Stewart. Another one of my favorite news sources is Stephanie Miller’s radio show, and Stephanie was kind enough to send me her correct birthdate and even the time when I sent her a profile I did when this blog was new that had incorrect birth data from the IMDB database (that’s what happens when celebrities... Read more

Elsa was kindly put up a link to an article John Townley wrote about “When Uranus Meets Mars.” A little less than every two years on average Mars conjoins Uranus, and when that combination of explosive force and targeted energy meet, often all hell breaks loose in the period surrounding. A good example is the conjunction of August 17, 1945–Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened just days before, and the first pictures of the Hiroshima blast went public that day. It happened... Read more

Jill wrote a post yesterday about the sudden disappearance of honeybees, and subsequent research turned up this article which connects weather anomalies to changes in the Gulf Stream circuit, an event which occurred between December 11 and 19th just as Pluto was making its first conjunction to the Galactic Center. There is a link which shows a short period where the Gulf Stream stops flowing towards Europe and flows back down without completing its normaly circuit. Earlier this month I... Read more

It was recently announced that the US has made the brilliant (tongue in cheek) decision to build a wall separating the Shia and Sunni districts in Baghdad (after all, it worked so well for Germany). Dharmaruci has a wonderful post today about walls and the Saturn influence where predicts the likely outcome of this wall idea: On April 10 this year, the Americans began the construction of a wall around a Sunni district in Baghdad. The chart for America’s efforts... Read more

If you’re new to this site and missed the articles last year on Pluto’s reclassification and the new planet Eris, along with Ceres which was promoted from asteroid to planet status, I’ve synthesized them into permanent articles and posted them on my website. Read more

Despite predictions of stock market failure due to the fall and spring eclipse cycle, the stock market continues to defy the odds. Both astrological and financial pundits have been watching for a correction but Jupiter combined with Pluto in the relentlessly optimistic sign of Sagittarius seems to be buoying up the perceptions that drive the stock market. The markets rise with optimism and fall when investors become more pessimistic. Ray Merriman suggests that the upcoming second phase of the square... Read more
