The FBI has listed the “free astrology reading” scam as one of the most difficult internet scams: The FBI said this familiar scam has resurfaced in which a victim receives spam or pop-up messages offering free astrological readings. The victim must provide his/her birth date and birth location to receive a free reading. After receiving the reading, the victim is enticed to purchase a full reading with the promise that something favorable is about to happen. The victim pays for the... Read more
The New Moon on Monday follows a conjunction of the Sun to Mercury this weekend that has activated our intelligence and facilitated our reasoning. This New Moon is a majestic lunar event that includes not only the Sun and Moon, but also an exact conjunction of Mercury to Uranus within a degree of the Sun/Moon alignment. Uranus is considered the “higher octave” of Mercury, and it represents the higher mind where Mercury represents the individual mind. Pisces, of course, rules over the... Read more
Corey Haim, the 1980s child star who made a career out of attempting a comeback, died the other night from what coroners say was an enlarged heart and fluid in the lungs. Haim had a long history of drug addiction and was apparently admitted to rehab on fifteen different occasions, but it wasn’t drugs that killed him, at least not directly, but the devastation of 20 years of drug abuse had already taken their toll. Haim had the Sun in... Read more
Last week I contracted a respiratory virus, followed by an intestinal virus and as I lay in bed writhing in agony I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be ironic if I ended up with the swine flu after all of my ranting over the hyping of the flu vaccine? As it turns out, I don’t have the swine flu. But I do think it’s interesting that I started to get sick the day Chiron hit the exact degree of my... Read more
We have been seeing an unbelievable number of high speed car chases and road rage incidents in our local paper, as I wrote earlier, and it seems as though every day there’s another shooting from someone angry at something. A search of Google news reveals that it’s not just in our area that people are chasing and shooting each other, and now an Ohio State University worker has killed a colleague and himself over a poor work evaluation. The gunman... Read more
I’ve been predicting that as Uranus (revolutionary rebellion and individuality) edges closer to Aries (warfare) and begins to form a challenging square to Pluto (transformation) in Capricorn (government), we will be seeing more “lone wolf” acts of rebellion such as the one last week where someone piloted a plane into an IRS building in Austin Texas. Now, with Mars closely approaching it’s stationary point which will culminate March 10, we have another “lone wolf” act of rebellion against the symbols... Read more
Ever since I took a workshop on Geodetics I have been fascinated by the idea that every part of the world has its own astrological signature that affects the lives of the people that live in that locality. I hope some day to be able to discuss this idea with some degree of knowledge, but for now I’ll let Kathryn do the talking. She has a new article linking the Haitian earthquake and storms in Madeira with the Geodetics concepts. It’s a... Read more
Supermodel Naomi Campbell is back in the news after beating a chauffeur with her fist for not telling her whether her boyfriend was cheating on her. Back in 2006 I wrote this article about Naomi Campbell for the National Ledger, and I’ve updated to reflect her current transits. Naomi Campbell was one of the top supermodels, and one of few whose successful career has spanned decades. Although her official biography claims that she was discovered on the street at the...

My Skywatch article for March is now available on my website, and I’m working on the simplified version for my newsletter. (If you’re not already on my mailing list, please sign up in the sidebar!) Meanwhile, here’s the information for the first week or so of March: March begins on the heels of a powerfully optimistic Full moon in Virgo that included a conjunction of the Sun to expansive Jupiter, and the energy of that lunar event continues into the...
