Breitbart and Limbaugh in the news

Last updated on: March 6, 2012 at 8:04 am By Lynn Hayes

I was just working on the chart for Andrew Breitbart, the conservative columnist who died last week, when Rush Limbaugh made news for being more horrifically obnoxious than usual. So today we have a dual post on conservative newsmakers. Andrew Breitbart (2/1/69, time unknown, Los Angeles) was a conservative writer who wrote for the Drudge report and Huffington Post as well as the Washington Times and also ran his own conservative blog syndication site. Like Limbaugh, his style was forceful, pompous... Read more

Sunday Inspiration: The lifting of the storm

Last updated on: March 4, 2012 at 6:43 am By Lynn Hayes

Your grief for what you’ve lost lifts a mirror up to where you’re bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look, and instead here’s the joyful face you’ve been wanting to see. Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you’d be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings. Rumi Read more

Uranus square Pluto: Will Scotland secede?

Last updated on: March 2, 2012 at 3:23 pm By Lynn Hayes

Photo from the Laird of Oldham. The entry of Uranus, planet of independence and revolution, into Aries, the sign of the warrior, brought the Arab Spring, Occupy Everything, and numerous other minor and major revolutions around the world. Now it is even inspiring thoughts of secession in Scotland. Young people all over the world are rising up (Uranus in Aries) against the establishment (Pluto in Capricorn) for a variety of reasons. In many countries (Algeria, Syria, Chile, Spain, India, Egypt,... Read more

The Uranian Mystique

Last updated on: February 27, 2012 at 5:58 am By Lynn Hayes

I’ve been writing for some time that as we head into the Aquarian Age the idea of gender will continue to blur, and that has certainly proven to be true. A recent article in the Daily Beast online news magazine wrote: Are we having a trans moment? Until recently, transgender issues were nearly invisible in the mainstream press—but now, everywhere you turn, transgender stories are being told. From Andrej Pejic and Lea T, two trans models currently walking the high-fashion runways, to... Read more

Forbes Magazine interviews financial astrologers

Last updated on: February 27, 2012 at 5:39 am By Lynn Hayes

When the economic collapse occurred in 2008, astrologers were not surprised. We had been watching and waiting for the arrival of Pluto’s entry into Capricorn as a time when the explosive growth of the Pluto in Sagittarius period would contract and the reality check of Capricorn’s serious need for discipline would arrive. The economic collapse also demonstrated quite clearly that financial experts lacked adequate tools to understand the fluctuations of the stock market. The Astrology News Service posted a link...

New Moon in Pisces, February 21 2012

Last updated on: February 21, 2012 at 7:56 pm By Lynn Hayes

Art from Bianca Clipperton. Today’s New Moon is a juicy one, and will carry us into a new beginning of spiritual sensitivity and compassionate opening of the heart. The New Moon in Pisces occurs on February 21 st. This is a particularly powerfully Neptunian New Moon since Neptune and Chiron flank the Sun and Moon, all within four degrees of each other. Mercury is also in Pisces, and if we look at the asteroids as well we see Pallas linking... Read more

Neptune in Pisces and the Forgetting Pill

Last updated on: February 20, 2012 at 3:51 pm By Lynn Hayes

The search for a pill to help us erase bad memories is not a new thing. The film “The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind” came out in 2004 which was well before Neptune even thought about entering Pisces. Pluto was finishing his journey through Sagittarius (1995-2008) during which optimism and positive thinking (Sagittarian traits) rose to an art form. Pluto tends to bring a compulsive drive to any sign that it travels through, and while a certain degree of... Read more

Economic optimism is on the rise

Last updated on: February 16, 2012 at 11:41 am By Lynn Hayes

As you know if you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, the collapse of the global economy was easily predicted by this and many other astrologers because of Pluto leaving expansive and optimistic Sagittarius and moving into the contraction of Capricorn. But by the end of 2011, despite gloomy predictions, the stock market had begun to recover and the housing market was not looking as bad as it had looked before. Mars and Saturn are both retrograde now, yet the... Read more

The astrology of Whitney Houston, dead at 48

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 7:16 am By Lynn Hayes

Whitney Houston, the brilliant but troubled singer and film star, was found dead in a hotel bathtub this weekend. The cause of death has not yet been determined but toxicology tests found a combination of Xanax and alcohol. Ms. Houston’s life-long troubles with drug and alcohol dependence were widely documented and often threatened her exceptional career. Her marriage to singer Bobby Brown was punctuated with violence and bouts of drug addiction and rehab. Astrologically, Ms. Houston (chart here) had a... Read more
