This is Part II of a series that will conclude tomorrow. You can catch up on Part I here, and tune in tonight (Wednesday) at 7 pm to the Musings on Astrology radio show where we will be discussing these important cycles. Where we are now Art by Teka Luttrell. In 2010 a major alignment of planets in the cardinal signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra began to take shape. Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn in Libra, and Jupiter and... Read more
Tonight we’ll have a special Musings on Astrology radio show to discuss the upcoming changes of the next few years that I’ve been writing about in the Transformation of 2012 series. The hour-long show will begin at 7 pm Eastern tonight and there will be time in the second half of the show for you to call in with questions about your own chart. Please remember these are 5-minute mini readings and best suited for a particular question rather than... Read more
This is Part I of a series that I will be posting on my website this week. I’m also doing a special radio show on Wednesday, March 3, at 7 pm Eastern on Blog Talk Radio. Stay tuned for more details. Looking back to understand the future. No matter what you think about the controversy over the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012, there is no question that this is a significant time in human history. As I write... Read more
If you live in North Carolina you can visit me this weekend at the Body Mind Spirit Expo in Raleigh at the fairgrounds (Kerr Scott Building). We have lots of beautiful rocks and crystals for sale, and I’ll be doing readings and mini readings. Meanwhile, in other Saturn-related relationship news, researchers in Edinburgh studied 200 students to determine their feelings about Facebook friends. At least 12% of them were anxious about their Facebook obligations, and that 12% had an average... Read more
As you may know, the revolutionary fever spreading through the middle east is not isolated to the Arab world. In Wisconsin, protests against anti-union measures by the governor there have mobilized tens of thousands of government employees and students since February 15th. These protests are just the beginning of what will become a firestorm of political resistance over the next year as Uranus, planet of revolution, squares off against Pluto, planet of power and control. They were inspired by the... Read more
In Libra, Saturn likes to codify relationships. Saturn after all is the planet of structure and form, and Libra is the sign of relationships and connections. Saturn turned retrograde a few weeks ago, so it is now appearing to move backwards from our point of view here on Planet Earth, turning our attention back to areas of life that need tweaking and realignment so that they can be most effective. So it’s not surprising that Facebook took this opportunity to... Read more
I read an article the other day that mentioned “ubiquitous computing” which resonates so clearly of the mutual reception between Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius that I had to do a little more research. We call this “mutual reception” because both Uranus and Neptune are in the signs that is ruled by the other – Uranus in Pisces, ruled by Neptune, and Neptune in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus. Mutual reception intensifies the strength of the astrological influence, which... Read more
The Full Moon that occurred early this morning occured at the 29th degree of the sign of Leo. The 29th degree, sometimes called the “critical” or “anaretic” degree, is associated with the endings of cycles and new beginnings. The word “anaretic” derives from “anareta,” which in medieval astrology signified the planet of death in the natal horoscope. This is likely what has given the 29th degree such a bad rap in traditional astrology, although endings are actually the harbinger of... Read more
As I wrote a few weeks ago, Jupiter re-entering Aries in January set off a firestorm of anger across the middle east and north Africa. At the time I wrote: I can’t help but think this is a good thing, even though like all difficult planetary cycles it won’t be comfortable and is certain to be accompanied by bloodshed. But balance must be achieved, and it’s the job of Uranus (and Jupiter, to a lesser extent) to emancipate the oppressed... Read more
