One thing you’ll notice if you’ve read my posts on celebrities, is that my predictions of the demise of several of these relationships have not yet come to pass. Although in my practice I NEVER predict the outcome of a client’s relationship, in the celebrity profiles I have made a stab at doing so, with less than satisfactory results. This does not minimize the accuracy of astrological interpretations, simply the accuracy of predictions of the future. For a while it... Read more

Thanks to the magic of the internet, I was the subject of an article about astrology and relationships for Emirates Woman, a glossy women’s magazine in the United Arab Emirates. Take a look! Read more

On November 3, 2006, Malachi Ritscher set himself on fire in Chicago on the Kennedy Expressway to protest the war in Iraq. The only problem is, no one was paying attention. Only in the past few days has this story hit the mainstream media. Malachi left a suicide note, which begins: When I hear about our young men and women who are sent off to war in the name of God and Country, and who give up their lives for... Read more

The Full Moon in December was known by many native Americans and other cultures as the “Cold Moon.” The Sun is at its weakest now: it is lowest in the sky and the trajectory of the Moon is therefore higher than in any other Full Moon event. The nights are longest and darkest, and the winter cold has taken over the land. The Moon is Full in Gemini at 7:25 pm on December 4, with Uranus forming a tight aspect... Read more

Saturn and Pluto are approaching a transit to this point in my chart so I thought it might be a good time to explore some secrets about this rarely discussed point. The Imum Coeli (IC), or Nadir of the chart is the midnight point and the cusp of the fourth house. It lies opposite the Midheaven which usually gets all of the attention, which is somewhat appropriate since the Midheaven (the cusp of the tenth house) is the noon point... Read more

You can read it in its entirety here. I’m glad to announce that December is looking like a cakewalk compared to what we’ve been going through over the past year. Some highlights: Saturn is within one degree of a trine to Pluto, the closest it will get until this aspect culminates in August of next year. The power of constructive change is tremendous when the Lord of Karma and the Lord of Transformation put their heads together. The Sun squares... Read more

Comparisons are being drawn between the news reports of a young man in Queens being shot by police over 50 times as he left a bachelor party last week and a similar incident back in 1999 when an African immigrant mistaken for a serial rapist was shot over 40 times by police in the Bronx. In both instances the men were unarmed when they were shot, and in both cases there was a ridiculous overreaction by police. In both cases... Read more

Elsa has a great article today: You want to learn astrology so you read a book. If you’re lucky it’s a good one. It’s not too boring so you figure you’ll read another. Next thing you know, if you get the bug, you’ve read four or five or eight books and right about here you consider really cracking down. And if you do that… well pretty soon you’ve read ten or twenty or thirty books and things are starting to... Read more

Pam Anderson and Kid Rock announced today that they are splitting up. You can read my take on this earthshaking event at the National Ledger site, but there are a few interesting things in her chart that are worth looking at in more depth. Pamela Anderson seems to have a lot of trouble making decisions. During her marriage to rocker Tommy Lee she twice filed for divorce and twice returned to the marriage before their final separation. She had breast... Read more

Jeffrey has a great take on the racist rant spewed by Michael Richards last week as an eruption of the dark underbelly of the national psyche into the public consciousness: I’m inclined to believe he is being as honest as his self-awareness allows. In the U.S., we grow up learning some pretty hateful messages about people different from ourselves … it’s almost unavoidable. If you grow up in a racist culture, prejudice insinuates itself into your psyche. You can do... Read more
