I’ve been predicting in these pages over the past couple of years that the balance of power in the world would soon be shifting away from the United States. I say that not because I lack a sense of patriotism, or because I “hate America” as Sean Hannity would say, but because I recognized a combination of astrological events that were tied closely to actual American behavior. You can read more about this in my Astrological State of the Union post... Read more
Here’s the introduction to February’s planetary events – you can read the entire article here. You can also sign up for your own subscription, which includes a simplified translation that is easy to understand, on my website or in the sidebar. February begins on the heels of a powerful Full Leo Moon on January 30 that is full of fire with a conjunction to Mars , making it nearly impossible to ignore the necessity to balance our ideals (Aquarian Sun) with the...

photo taken from www.forphotography.com. The Full Moon on January 30st will be a very interesting event – so interesting that it’s getting its own radio show entitled “Fire and the Full Moon.” It’s not only a powerful Moon astrologically, but it’s at perigee, meaning it’s at its closest proximity to the Earth. This is why it is so big and beautiful, but it’s also more powerful now. Spaceweather says it’s the biggest Full Moon of the year, and astrologer Richard Nolle, who... Read more
If you’ve read this blog for a while, you’ve heard me ranting for just about a year now about the hysteria being manufactured over the swine flu. When Chiron (health and healing) conjoined Neptune (spirituality but also illusion and delusion) beginning last February when they made a close approach, and then again in May and June when their conjunction tightened to within 14 minutes, anxiety over the swine flu escalated. Yet all of the statistics I was observing continued to show... Read more
The square from Saturn to Pluto is one of the more challenging planetary dynamics due to the bad rep both planets have for being the Lord of Karma (Saturn) and the Lord of Death (Pluto). Saturn used to be the Lord of Death until Pluto came along, so you can see that these are not the most warm and fuzzy planets to encounter, especially when they are in the challenging square, or 90 degree, aspect to each other. You may... Read more
I haven’t yet seen the film Avatar so I can’t comment personally, but evidently some fans are reacting with depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film: James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora. On the fan forum site “Avatar Forums,” a topic thread entitled “Ways... Read more
I’m working feverishly to write the January Skywatch and to finish my forecast article on the Astrology of 2010, so rather than write a fresh post for you today I will post a link to this fascinating look by Patrick Watson of the political events of the past year and their astrological significations. The White House party crashers, the significance of Joe “You Lie” Wilson, the Healthcare town hall protests, the election protests in Iran, and the Obama “Birther” controversy... Read more
Once in a Blue Moon, by Sofanya White. A gorgeous big moon followed me home tonight, even though she technically won’t be full until the afternoon of New Year’s Eve. This is a Blue Moon because it’s the second Full Moon in a month, something that doesn’t happen very often (hence the term “once in a blue moon”). It’s also an eclipse, because the lunar nodes are involved; however, it’s a partial eclipse and not very powerful astrologically. The Full... Read more

In 1996 he was arrested for attacking a girlfriend at his home, for which... Read more
[According to an article in the National Geographic} Earth’s north magnetic pole is racing toward Russia at almost 40 miles (64 kilometers) a year due to magnetic changes in the planet’s core, new research says. The core is too deep for scientists to directly detect its magnetic field. But researchers can infer the field’s movements by tracking how Earth’s magnetic field has been changing at the surface and in space. read more here... The concept of polar shift, where the...
