Tune in Sunday mornings at 11 am Eastern for Musings on Astrology on Blog Talk Radio. On today’s show we’ll be talking about the Aries New Moon. Aries is the initiatory sign of the zodiac which is the solar cycle, and the New Moon is the initiatory phase of the lunar cycle so this is a powerful time of new beginnings. How can we best utilize this time to create positive change in our lives? In what area of our... Read more
Justin Bieber will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend, assuring his place in mainstream America forever. Justin Bieber is only sixteen, but he has seemingly taken the world by storm with his popular R&B-style performances. Evidently both Usher and Justin Timberlake wanted to sign Bieber. His first album was released in November of 2009 and went platinum almost immediately. For me the interesting thing astrologically about Justin Bieber is that he is one of the Uranus/Neptune kids – the... Read more
Patricia Lantz has published a nice assortment of quotes attributed to well-known people on the subject of astrology. The quotes can be found in an interesting article on the use of astrology by a variety of presidents in the past. (You can read my article on Ronald Reagan’s use of astrology here.) What some wise men, seers and other well known names have said about astrology It was in Poor Richard’s Almanac that Ben Franklin wrote about astrology, saying: “Oh the... Read more
As I wrote a few days ago, “Pluto is associated with war of the nuclear type” so it is an interesting synchronicity of timing that just as Pluto changed direction to retrograde, President Obama of the US and President Medvedev of Russia signed a historic arms control treaty, hoping to reverse the challenging relationship between the two superpowers and to reduce the number of nuclear arms stockpiled by both nations. Retrograde periods of any planet tend to turn our attention... Read more
Saturn is at its last degree of Libra today before retrograding back into Virgo tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 3:30 pm Eastern time. Saturn has been in Libra since last fall where it has been creating tests and challenges in the areas of partnerships and beauty, as well as our aesthetic ideals. Virgo is the sign that deals with issues of day-to-day life in a body. The food we eat, the mind body connection and our health, our day-to-day routines such... Read more

Happy Monday Morning! A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico and California yesterday, a force equivalent to the earthquake that struck Haiti earlier this year. This quake occurred right on schedule according to astrologer Richard Nolle who predicted an upsurge in seismic activity during the March 27-April 5 time period around the Libra Full Moon. Richard has long written that when the Moon is at perigee (closest to the earth) her influence is more powerful and more likely to induce seismic... Read more

Fool card from the Dragon Tarot deck. Reposted from 2006: Today we celebrate the Fool, which is particularly appropriate in light of the Aries New Moon next week. The ancient system of Tarot is the precursor to our modern deck of playing cards, and is thought by some to have been the carrier of secret mystical knowledge during the times of the inquisition. The Fool reminds us that we have limited perspective as we walk through our life, and that we... Read more
