Susan has a post today that reminded me of an experience I had before I was married. She writes: I know astrology works. I have made mistakes in casting charts that have proved to me that it is valid. When I cast the wrong time, the charts didn’t fit the person, and the timing of events was off. When I corrected the chart, it made more sense and the timing was correct. I experienced this also with a clients once;... Read more
Recently these pages witnessed a dramatic debate over whether astrology could be or had been proven in the now defunct Skeptics Challenge. (I learned my lesson – as revealed by a commentator, skeptics don’t have an open mind but require scientific, not experiential, proof.) At any rate, this appeared in our local newspaper column, the People’s Pharmacy: No Science Behind Soap Remedy. Sometimes a remedy defies logic. Usually there’s no science to support it either. That’s certainly the case when... Read more
A comment from Cathy to the previous post reports: I looked back on previous oppositions between Saturn and Neptune and the wars that were going on then did not end when the aspect ended. Far from it! 1971-72 – Vietnam didn’t end until 1975. In fact Nixon’s slogan was “peace with honor”. It sounds very Neptunian and Saturnian but when U.S. forces are SO uncompromising, it’s just not going to happen under this opposition. 1936-37 – The Spanish working class... Read more
Saturn is nearly exactly opposite Neptune now, and there are a lot of qualities to this configuration. Deception (Neptune) is confronted by law (Saturn). The mysterious (Neptune) is being challenged by pragmatism (Saturn). Big Brother (Saturn) wants to spy on your private life (Neptune). Here are just three fascinating stories that mirror these dynamics: The armed forces reveals a UFO presence in Chile: The military photographs and videos were revealed late Tuesday evening. They included a photograph of a spherical... Read more
This New Moon marks the New Year of the Chinese calendar, and 2007 is the Year of the Golden Pig. In Chinese astrology, each year is represented by twelve different animals with the pig being the final animal in the cycle. Concurrent to the twelve-year animal cycle is cycle of the five elements, so 2007 is the year of the Fire Pig. The Fire Pig, being associated with red and gold, is associated with wealth, abundance and fertility since red... Read more
JM has quite a bit of information on the lunar nodes right now. I love her blog Raging Universe, it’s exhilarating and effervescent and wise, all at once. And with beautiful art as well. In March we have a series of lunar eclipses coming up involving the Pisces/Virgo polarity (more on that later), but this is a good article to read about the nodes. The nodes, like everything else astrological, have a wide scope of meaning from the prosaic (the... Read more
“Aquarius” from Eclipse of the Firefly gallery I’ve been surprised to still find writings that fix the beginning of the Age of Pisces at year zero, roughly coinciding with the birth of Jesus, with the Age of Aquarius beginning in the year 2000. This is a historical fallacy and not based in any kind of astrological or astronomical principle. For one thing, each age is approximately 2160 years. Many astronomers put the beginning of the age of Pisces at 498... Read more
“New Moon over the Atlantic” by Mark Daffey from art.com The New Moon on February 17 links the Sun and the Moon in Aquarius, the sign of idealism, innovation and revolution. Aquarius is the radical, the inventor – it seeks to change the status quo and provides vision for change. There is an electrical quality to Aquarius that can be unsettling for those of us who are more earth-bound, but if we let go to our attachment to the Way... Read more
Watch the video here. There has been virtually no media coverage of this event outside of a few minor journals in the UK. I found an article that reports a wedding having released Chinese-style “glow” lanterns that very day. However, the glow lanterns that I found on the internet don’t look anything like UFOs. One astute writer found this site with “fire balloons” that look rather like the glowing balls in the video. Still, even if these balloons were six... Read more
