Sarah Silverman’s show is cancelled

Last updated on: May 14, 2010 at 6:38 am By Lynn Hayes

Sarah Silverman, the outrageous but adorable comic star of Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Program,” has been canned from that network. The Guardian calls Silverman “the most taboo-breaking comedian working in America today.” The cancellation comes on the heels of a fiasco on the TED internet network in which she did a comedy piece on adopting a retarded child that garnered terrible reviews from everyone including TED’s organizer. Silverman’s astrological chart shows a highly creative conjunction of the Sun to Neptune... Read more

Yesterday this blog reached a landmark: two million page views since 2005. I want to thank all of my readers, especially the ones who have stuck with me year after year, through interesting times and not-so-interesting times, for the inspiration to keep coming up with articles that are worth reading. While I’m thanking people, I want to thank my sister Jill who was the first blogger I ever knew and helped me set up the initial Blogger format, and Jeff... Read more

Jupiter lost a stripe!

Last updated on: May 13, 2010 at 5:35 pm By Lynn Hayes

Uranus brings surprising events, and as Jupiter is nearing a conjunction to Uranus we see this news: Jupiter has lost one of its prominent stripes, leaving its southern half looking unusually blank. Scientists are not sure what triggered the disappearance of the band. Jupiter’s appearance is usually dominated by two dark bands in its atmosphere – one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. But recent images taken by amateur astronomers show that the southern band –... Read more

This is not financial advice

Last updated on: May 13, 2010 at 6:50 am By Lynn Hayes

But if it were, I would advise against getting caught up in the current euphoria on Wall Street. After last year’s 1000 point tumble, stocks were way up yesterday in a big tech rally, and gold hit a new record. Relief over the bailout plans in Europe and austerity measures in Greece and Portugal stimulated strong optimism yesterday. Today there appears to be more anxiety, and these gyrations will continue over the next few weeks. Jupiter and Uranus are nearing... Read more

New Moon in Taurus, May 13, 2010

Last updated on: May 12, 2010 at 10:53 am By Lynn Hayes

The New Moon in Taurus on the 13th is a very dynamic one despite the natural placidity of the Taurean energy. At the New Moon the solar principle of conscious mind and will is fused with the lunar principle of instinct and emotion, making New Moons the perfect time to begin something new. In Taurus the Moon is moving from the initiation of Aries to an appreciation for a life that is more grounded. There is a greater need for... Read more

1987 crash was another “fat finger” event

Last updated on: May 11, 2010 at 5:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

Last week’s Wall Street roller coaster ride occurred under Mercury retrograde, but I didn’t realize that the crash in October 1987 also occurred under a cloud of technological suspicion. Like the May 6 event, there were no major news events that could have stimulated the crash, and it seemed to come from nowhere. Like the May 6 event, it is suspected that technological glitches impaired the normal flow of market trading, making it seem as though a major sell-off was... Read more

Facebook, our wired world, and Uranus at the 29th degree

Last updated on: May 11, 2010 at 6:40 am By Lynn Hayes

An article in Wired online magazine entitled “Facebook’s Gone Rogue” embodies the mystical fog (Pisces) of between the wired and the “real” world of information (Uranus) that we have seen accelerate since Uranus entered Pisces in 2003. Uranus is the planet that takes a radical departure from the conventional, but it also rules the higher mind as well as technology. Under the influence of Uranus in Pisces the presence of the Internet has become more and more ubiquitous as the boundaries... Read more

Tom Cruise betrayed by Scientology leader

Last updated on: May 10, 2010 at 6:21 am By Lynn Hayes

Marty Rathbun was Inspector General of the Religious Technology Center of the Church of Scientology from 1978 until 2004 when he left the church. Since then he has been a vocal critic of Scientology and offers the services he was trained for to “independent Scientologists” outside of the Church umbrella. In a classic Mercury retrograde revelation, Rathbun writes on his blog of his recent discovery that David Miscavige, head of the Church of Scientology, used video and audio tapes of... Read more

Mercury retrograde update

Last updated on: May 10, 2010 at 5:56 am By Lynn Hayes

Mercury has slowed down to a crawl as it prepares to change direction tomorrow, so don’t be surprised if business matters or travel plans are stalled today. It will take Mercury a few days to begin traveling at a normal speed (this is called the “shadow” period of the retrograde phase) but after Tuesday the effect of this particular retrograde should be behind us.

Thoughts on prediction of love and disaster

Last updated on: May 9, 2010 at 1:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

Image from Jaci XIII on Flickr. Recently I did what I like to call a “repair” reading for a new client after another astrologer gave her what I thought to be bad advice. Her old astrologer had predicted that a transit of Jupiter would bring her an opportunity for new love, and that if she didn’t take advantage of it she would miss her one chance for true love. When that transit came along, my client was newly divorced and... Read more
