Molly at About Astrology has posted some interesting links on the 2012 connection to native American wisdom. Molly writes: I recently moved to the edge of a forest, and it’s made it possible to have more direct experiences of both nature and the cosmos. I get the sense of coming home to things I knew as little girl. One is that animals and all life is sacred. I’ve personally felt a shift from living more in my head, to living... Read more
Because I will be out of town the first week of June, the monthly Skywatch article will be delayed until I return. There’s still time to sign up for your own free subscription! You can sign up in the sidebar here, or on my website. Ceres is very important the first week of June. It forms a challenging square to both Uranus and Jupiter on the 6th and 7th and then trines Mars before moving back into Sagittarius late on... Read more
This has been an amazing trip so far!! Today Dharmaruci and Vajramala hosted Rich and I and our friends Dianne and David for a delicious lunch on their courtyard. It was lots of fun meeting DR after corresponding for about five years. Many of you will recognize Dharmaruci from his Astrotabletalk blog (linked in the sidebar), another of my favorites and most sympatico to this one. There was a debate a couple of years ago whether DR’s rising sign was... Read more
While I am out of town I’ve selected some older articles to repost for you. I was a student during the Vietnam war, and in demonstrations and marches against the war we decried the philosophy of our government that killing for peace made sense. On September 11 we were attacked by Osama bin Laden, and 2,646 Americans were killed. Since then, 3,813 Americans have been killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 398 private contractors of various nationalities have... Read more
While I am out of town I have selected some interesting articles to repost. Nearly all of us hear voices of one kind or another. My mother hears the voice of her mother criticizing her in her head. Someone I know well hears music in his head – full orchestras. When I do readings, I hear voices describing aspects of the chart to me before I have a chance to notice them. Are we all crazy? Granted, this is nothing... Read more
Dharmaruci has a good article about Saturn’s role in Western society. DR and I have known each other for about four years – we follow each other’s blog and at one point cross-posted for each other. On Sunday we’ll be having lunch together in Glastonbury! Life is an adventure. Saturn sits on my Sun in my own chart, and I am very familiar with his many virtues so I particularly like the spin in this article. Saturn sets boundaries and... Read more
The power of the Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 27 contains the movement of the planet Uranus into Aries. Uranus changes signs every seven years or so, and it will dip its metaphorical toe into Aries and remain at zero degrees of that sign until mid-August when it will retrograde back into Pisces until 2011, at which time it will begin to face off against Pluto in their exact square confrontation. Much has been written about the upcoming Uranus/Pluto... Read more
Kathryn Cassidy is one of my favorite astrobloggers. Her blog, Collaborate with Fate (linked in the sidebar) is a consistently interesting trove of hidden symbols and astrological insights. Over the years she and I have shared our interests in many things from astrological details to conspiracy mysteries. So it was fun to meet her on person today when she gave us a wonderful tour of downtown London. Kathryn was a great tour guide and had sent me a long and... Read more
I’m in London! What a gorgeous city. Today I made a pilgrimage to this astrology shop but since I have an unopened box of books from here I only bought three. 🙂 Read more
Tomorrow’s Full Moon is in Sagittarius, straddling the Gemini/Sagittarius polarity of learning and knowledge. When the Moon is full, it is actually in direct opposition to the Sun which will be in Gemini and we see the Sun’s light totally reflected by the Moon without any earthly interference. Zodiacal polarities are opposites, with each sign having something that the other lacks. Gemini wants to take in every single bit of information without discrimination, just for the sake of learning and... Read more
