Evolutionary implications of the holographic universe

Last updated on: November 28, 2010 at 7:38 am By Lynn Hayes

Modern science is turning our notion of what constitutes the Universe on its ear, and nowhere is this more evident than the theory that the Universe itself is a hologram. Beginning with quantum physics and particle/wave theory, which suggested in the early part of the 20th century that the Universe is operating on many different levels than our three-dimensional reality would suggest. One of its early proponents, Niehls Bohr, wrote: “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not... Read more

“The stars align to ruin Christmas”

Last updated on: November 26, 2010 at 11:18 am By Lynn Hayes

It evidently takes bad astrology news to make the mainstream blogosphere. The Daily Beast has posted an article that predicts “holiday hell”: The stars are aligning to ruin Christmas. Astrologers say that for the first time in years, the tumultuous astrological cycle known as Mercury Retrograde falls during the holidays, causing “tears,” “confusion,” and “throwdowns” during the busy shopping and travel season. This article is largely based on an interview with Susan Miller, who is one of the best known... Read more

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers!

Last updated on: November 25, 2010 at 3:42 pm By Lynn Hayes

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday – perhaps due to the combination of the Sun in Cancer with the Sagittarius ascendant in the US chart. The Cancerian Sun is focused on food and the nurturing of the People, and because the US Sun falls in the Seventh House of partnerships there is a sense of sharing that nurturing with others with whom we are allied. The Sag ascendant is bountiful and optimistic that in sharing a big (Sagittarian) feast (Cancer)... Read more

The astrology of North Korea (updated)

Last updated on: November 24, 2010 at 8:42 am By Lynn Hayes

This article was originally posted in 2009 but has been updated to account for recent events. Before you can have an accurate astrological profile, you must have an accurate date of birth. In a mundane chart of a nation this gets a little tricky. What is the moment of birth? Is it the moment that the nation is announced? Is it when the constitution is signed? Ratified? New leaders elected? In my online research today I found several different dates used by... Read more

The astrology of the Tony Parker/Eva Longoria split

Last updated on: November 21, 2010 at 12:31 pm By Lynn Hayes

Just one day after both parties denied split rumors last week, actress Eva Longoria has filed for divorce from basketball star Tony Parker after three years of marriage. Ms. Longoria found hundreds of text messages on her husband’s phone from the wife of another NBA player. The Longoria/Parker relationship is a great example of how unhelpful Sun Sign compatibility is when it is considered as the most important factor in a relationship. Longoria’s Pisces Sun is in a nearly exact... Read more

The return of General Motors: The beginning of a new era

Last updated on: November 18, 2010 at 3:50 pm By Lynn Hayes

I don’t know about you, but all of a sudden I want to buy a new car. I’ve been looking online, in magazines, in the newspapers – thrilled at the prospect of something shiny and new in the driveway. This is particularly curious because I have a car that I LOVE – it’s a cool shade of green, nice and luxurious, and it goes great with all of my clothes. I was telling Rich I couldn’t figure out why all... Read more

Venus and Jupiter direct and the Taurus Full Moon

Last updated on: November 16, 2010 at 7:43 am By Lynn Hayes

The two planets of good fortune, Venus and Jupiter, have both been traveling retrograde and in the next few days they will be changing direction, moving forward again in what astrologers call “direct motion.” Planets obviously don’t orbit in reverse, but we observe the movement of the planets from our perspective on earth which creates some anomalies in their travel patterns. When planets slow down and make a “station” before they change direction their influence is quite powerful, almost as... Read more

The astrology of Demi Lovato’s “meltdown”

Last updated on: November 15, 2010 at 8:07 am By Lynn Hayes

Demi Lovato, the young singer/actress who rose to fame as a Disney Star back in 2008 at the age of fifteen, recently left the Jonas Brothers World Tour to seek treatment for “emotional and physical issues” which evidently include anger management problems. Rumors are swirling around that she has drug and alcohol issues but Lovato’s spokespeople deny this, saying “”Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help. She is doing just that.” The gossip press... Read more

One in ten kids has ADHD

Last updated on: November 13, 2010 at 5:10 pm By Lynn Hayes

Government health officials report that the number of children diagnosed with ADHD rose by 22% in the four years between 2003 and 2007. Researchers suggest that the increase in diagnosis may be due to the fact that children in less affluent homes are now being treated in higher numbers than previously seen. Among 15-17 year-olds the survey showed a 42% increase. This is particularly interesting to me because of the correlation between this age group and the Uranus-Neptune conjunction of... Read more

A prayer for peace on Veteran’s Day

Last updated on: November 11, 2010 at 6:27 pm By Lynn Hayes

There is little doubt that the United State economy is dependent upon military spending, as shown in a recent study by the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As is often noted, General and then President Dwight Eisenhower, warned back in 1960 of the dangers of the military-industrial complex in a speech which is eerily as true today as it was fifty years ago: Throughout America’s adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to...
