Just a few weeks ago I did a reading for a client with MS and wrote about it here in a discussion of the correlation between “warrior energy” and immune system disorders including MS. Shortly thereafter celebrity Jack Osbourne announced that he has been diagnosed with MS. Osbourne is known primarily through the television reality show The Osbournes in which he is portrayed as the rebellious and drug addicted son of metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne. Jack Osbourne was dyslexic as a... Read more
As I’ve been writing in this blog, I am in the middle of my second Saturn Return (also see this article if interested). The Saturn Return is one of the major astrological life cycles in which we are brought face to face with the realities (Saturn) of our lives. During the first Saturn Return at age 28-30 we have to face the fact that we are no longer freewheeling youths and we have to face up to the responsibilities of adulthood.... Read more
by Lynn Hayes image by Visual Alchemy. The Summer Solstice (northern hemisphere) occurs in the tropical zodiac at the exact moment when the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This coincides with the longest day of the year and the most fertile season in agrarian cultures in the northern hemisphere. (Of course for my Aussie and Kiwi friends as well as those in southern Africa the seasons are reversed and the Summer Solstice occurs in December with the entry of... Read more
by Lynn Hayes Please note that the URL of this blog has changed and update your bookmarks. The Gemini New Moon takes place on the 19th at the 28th degree of Gemini. This is the second Gemini New Moon of the year: an exclamation point from the Universe reminding us that there is so much to learn right now and a great deal of information available to us. With Jupiter and Venus both in Gemini along with the New Moon, the mind... Read more
From an article by Simon Powell on Reality Sandwich. Like brilliant ideas and hypotheses made literal flesh in space and time, natural intelligence is what you see when you look down a microscope at a cell. All those busy chemical cycles and all that frenetic protein manipulation — that is natural intelligence. The cyclical networks of molecules and enzymes, communicating with one another, sustaining themselves and repairing themselves — that is natural intelligence. The myriad exquisite nanotechnological machines known as... Read more
Jupiter moved into Gemini on June 11th, and unlike some periods during which Jupiter retrogrades back into the previous sign at some point in its travels, it will remain in Gemini without interruption for about a year. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune – of faith and optimism and our ability to encapsulate the world in a theology that provides our life with meaning. Jupiter represents the evolution of our philosophies and our shared vision of meaning that we... Read more
In the news: The recent economic crisis left the median American family in 2010 with no more wealth than in the early 1990s, erasing almost two decades of accumulated prosperity, the Federal Reserve said Monday. A hypothetical family richer than half the nation’s families and poorer than the other half had a net worth of $77,300 in 2010, compared with $126,400 in 2007, the Fed said. The crash of housing prices directly accounted for three-quarters of the loss. read more here…... Read more
“We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us” — Astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson [related_posts limit=”5″ image=”50″] Read more

by Lynn Hayes With Venus retrograde and having just transited the Sun, its energy is still powerful and I wanted to share some other articles and viewpoints that may be of interest. In my own article on the 2012 Transit of Venus I wrote about the ancient archetype of Venus as the more powerful Innana and Ishtar. Beth Owls Daughter has a wonderful article offering even more details about the deeper layers of the Venus archetype. Innana was also associated with the... Read more
