Catch up on Part 1 here Beginning in 1954 when Tupperware parties began putting money in the pockets of housewives and Playboy Magazine began sowing seeds of dissatisfaction in the lusty hearts of suburban dads, the ground was being fertilized for the sexual revolution that was to come later in the 1960s. Saturn continued to travel through Scorpio until January of 1956, testing the structures of power and forcing confrontation in areas of sexuality. It was during this period that... Read more
A reader on my Facebook page suggested a connection between Saturn in Libra and the sexual revolution. Saturn was actually in Libra between 1950 and 1953, placing it a little earlier than the actual sexual revolution which we typically think of occurring in the 1960s along with all of the other revolutions brought about by the conjunction of Uranus (the revolutionary) with Pluto (the transformer). But it can definitely be argued that Saturn’s passage through Libra, the sign of relationships,... Read more

Meditation is known to help the mind, body and soul, and new research shows it can also improve attention span. Researchers at the University of California at Davis conducted a small study testing how Buddhist meditation affects focus and attention to visual detail. Volunteers attended a three month long meditation retreat... Read more

And turned her a bit red (with embarrassment) after an aerial harness failed to operate properly. As it happened, the solar eclipse at 19 degrees Cancer was nearly exactly conjunct her natal Mars and in square to her Aries Moon. Pink is one of those “radical Virgos” you hear about (Amy Winehouse is one), with four planets in Virgo but a wild streak that belies the modesty of the Virgo nature.

Chiron is preparing to turn retrograde so it is most powerful now as it slows down at the zero degree of Pisces and prepares to complete its passage through Aquarius. Chiron’s process of healing is a shamanic one that takes us to the root of all of our fears and emotional pain, inspiring us to transmute the darkness into light. We’ll be talking about how you can use Chiron as an ally, and what the completion of the Chiron journey... Read more
