Art by Willow Arlenea. It’s hard to deny that we are being pulled into a vortex towards a new future that is unlike anything any of us have ever known. This is exhilarating for some of us and frightening for others, but our reactions and programming don’t really matter now. The change is happening and we are a part of it. This guided meditation is taken from Joanna Macy’s fine book Coming Back to Life and titled “The Web of... Read more
This is an excerpt from a longer article that can be found on my website here. By its very nature, Neptune is difficult to talk about. It tends to be evasive and dreamy, and full of imagination and artistic creativity. It also can become lost in the illusion of fantasy and encourage sacrifice of the individual self, sometimes for a higher purpose and sometimes in a codependent loss of Self. In its highest form Neptune inspires us to transcend the... Read more
As an astrologer I am always looking for coincidences and interesting links, and the release of a huge solar flare the day that Mars turned retrograde is one of those interesting connections. Mars represents fire, enthusiasm, drive, it’s an aggressive force. A solar flare comes from the Sun, but it is fiery in nature and the quality of the eruption has a Martian flare. From our perspective here on Earth, the electromagnetic energy from the solar flare could create havoc... Read more
The Sun and the Moon will unite in Aquarius at 2:39 am on January 23rd (Eastern) or 7:39 am GMT. We call this the New Moon but it is technically the “dark” of the Moon – not even a sliver of the lunar light is reflected by the Sun. The New Moon marks the beginning of the new lunar cycle, and it provides an energetic boost to us as well. Each month we have a New Moon in a different... Read more
Our friend John Townley has posted a review of the film Five Star Day which was released in 2011 but comes out on DVD next month: The premise is simple: protagonist Jake Gibson (Cam Gigandet, Christina Aguilera’s love interest in Burlesque) reads his newspaper Sun-sign horoscope which tells him he’s going to have a wonderful birthday – love, money, career outlooks all superb – and then proceeds to have the most disastrous day of his young life on all three fronts....

SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act currently under discussion in the US House of Representatives. At first glance, stopping online piracy sounds like a good idea. I know that I myself have found plenty of my articles circulating on the Net under someone else’s byline. But when you dig a little deeper into the language of the 75 page bill you find requirements that internet provides monitor the usage of its customers to ensure that rogue sites are not... Read more

My friend Beth Owls Daughter writes that 2012 is the Year of the Hierophant according to the Tarot numerology system. The Hierophant in the Tarot is traditionally associated with the Pope as a symbol for religious structures and dogma. The word Hierophant comes from the ancient Greek that means ta hiera,“the holy,” and phainein, “to show.” In ancient Greece the hierophant was the priest who interpreted the sacred mysteries and served as the bridge between the spiritual experience and the individual worshiper, just as the...
