I have a bifurcated work life. (bi·fur·cate (b f r-k t , b -fûr -). To divide into two parts or branches.) As many of you know, I have a real estate business and I have an astrology practice. That’s not surprising because I have Gemini rising – the sign of the twins governing the arena of my persona. I am happiest when I am living in two worlds at once. The conjunction of Chiron and Neptune has been wandering... Read more
In the news today: The Pentagon Tuesday said it was trying to determine if a missile was launched Monday off the coast of Southern California and who might have launched it. Spokesmen for the Navy, Air Force, Defense Department and North American Aerospace Defense Command said they were looking into a video posted on the CBS News website that appears to show a rocket or some other object shooting up into the sky and leaving a large contrail over the...

Although Chiron and Neptune only have made one exact conjunction during the past two years (it occurred on February 17, 2010), they have been within a few degrees of each other for this entire time. They are still about as close as you can get without being exactly conjunct, about six minutes of arc apart. But having just changed direction to move forward after a long retrograde period, they will begin to separate. Chiron and Neptune both operate on the... Read more
On Friday November 6th it was announced that MSNBC was suspending commentator Keith Olbermann indefinitely without pay for making political contributions to Democratic candidates in violation of NBC’s stated policy against making such contributions without prior approval. In preventing its political commentators from donating to political candidates, MSNBC is attempting to draw a distinction between itself as a news organization and Fox News, which not only openly contributes to political candidates but hires them as commentators on their “news” programs...

One of my quarterly clients was very excited to begin the new year back in January. The astrological forecast looked great, with lots of positive transits of Jupiter and Uranus, and very little difficulty. Over the year she has reported a personal expansion, with a greater ability to define and develop herself in her relationships and in the rest of her life. Still, she has been disappointed in the business side of things this year. Although we worked on Visioncrafting... Read more
Scorpio is the sign of passion and intensity, and the Truth that exists where life and death meet. This New Moon offers us an opportunity to face the darkness and discover our own Truth – to strip ourselves of any falseness and pledge to live in that Truth. New Moons begin a new cycle, and in Scorpio the challenge is to confront our emotional fears without becoming enmeshed in the story. The New Moon is often shown as a sliver... Read more
Thanks to astrologers Deb Houlding and Martin Davis for posting a link to this article on Facebook. The Bank of Scotland has studied the performance of six different international stock indices over a period of several decades to determine a correlation between stock trading and the Moon. The interesting thing about this article is that it seems to have no connection to any astrological group or individual. Their premise is this: “New moon traditionally symbolises the period of low energy,... Read more
I couldn’t help but laugh at the synchronicity of this article in light of Saturn (challenges) in the sign of Libra (love and romance) at the moment: [Bedbugs] have become a sort of anti-Cupid for city singles, in some cases slowing the progress of budding relationships and in others bringing romance to a dead stop. “Condoms don’t protect against bedbugs,” observed Cameron Macay, a 29-year-old student who lives in Williamsburg. Macay, who is single, admits to panic whenever he stays... Read more
Wall Street loves a good Republican victory, and yesterday the financial press said that the market was up in anticipation of the Republicans taking the House. Today the story was that a market reached a new high after the Federal Reserve decided to buy up $600 billion in Treasury securities. Deborah at Wall Street Weather called this last week in her “Trick or Treat edition” and explained why it won’t work: Halloween is all about all kinds of terrifying creatures,... Read more
You can find the whole article here. Meanwhile, here’s a tidbit for the first part of November: During the month of November three planets will change direction to move forward again and we will begin to feel a shift as energy is freed up for more movement. When there is a high number of retrograde planets (in October five planets were retrograde) our attention is turned backwards into the past as we reconsider and re-evaluate our path. In November the... Read more
