Image from the Tarot of Love, courtesy of angelpaths.com There is no mistaking the power of love, but as this Valentine’s Day falls very close to the exact opposition of Saturn to Neptune, a transit where the lovely fantasies of Neptune are destroyed by Saturn’s reality check, it seems more appropriate to write about the source of true love – the love that is generated within our own spirit and psyche. Gary Zukav writes, The experiences of romantic love are... Read more

It was almost a year ago that I first profiled Hillary Clinton in these pages: Hillary Clinton’s birthchart shows a strong personality: She has four planets in intense Scorpio, including her Sun, Chiron, Venus and Mercury. Scorpio is an intensely emotional sign that imposes a passion on everything the individual does or feels. Scorpios are never superficial or dilletantes – they bury themselves in virtually everything they encounter. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the god of the underworld, death and... Read more

Although for me it won’t make much difference, I’m sort of getting used to the kind of technological craziness I’ve been experiencing lately with the square of Jupiter to Uranus and evidently I’m not alone. Although this aspect made its exact hit back in January, the effects are still with us and will continue for another week or so. Mercury is stationary now preparing to retrograde late tomorrow night, and communication and equipment difficulties are likely to increase. Recent studies... Read more

For the past few years I have written to anyone who wrote a post or an article debunking astrology offering to do a free reading for them so that they can try it for themselves before making a judgement on a subject they knew little about. I received no response from any of these people. Last summer someone undergoing a painful experience wrote to me – he was skeptical of astrology but open to hear what I had to say,... Read more

Thanks to Dharmaruci for this link to an article describing the tight Yod aspect between Venus, Mars and Saturn that is moving into formation now and will be strong on Valentine’s Day. A Yod aspect involves two planets in sextile that are each 150 degress (quincunx) from the apex planet. The sextile is an exciting and harmonious aspect and the quincunx an irritating and somewhat stressful aspect, so the combination of the two together typically results in a process that... Read more

There seems to be a rash of UFO sightings over the past couple of months (Jupiter/Uranus anyone??) but this is a big one: PEOPLE screamed and cars came to a halt when dozens of mysterious lights hovered thousands of feet above Archway. The “squadron” of flying orange objects left passers-by staring skyward in disbelief at around 5.30pm last Thursday. Police received four calls within a matter of minutes.… WHILE no one is in any doubt something happened in the sky... Read more

Robert Wilkinson has a lovely post today on Good and Evil in the birthchart: Our birth charts show us what cycles we’ve set into motion, and what we’re dealing with. All of us are learning to deal with the results of prior karmas left over from other times, past chapters of our life, as well as other lives, if you accept the concept that we are Eternal Consciousnesses who occasionally dip back into life in physical form here on Earth.... Read more
