Oh My Stars

Oh, Astrology. You are the gift that keeps on giving, making sense of The Crazy. Case in point: It was recently announced that well-known monster Charles Manson is getting married. The blushing bride-to-be is Afton Burton, age 26. I haven’t been able to find a birthdate for Afton (but boy have I tried). Charlie’s birth chart…

The Uranus-Pluto square becomes exact again in December. It’s become so much of the background noise of our era that sometimes it seems unfair to blame any one thing on it at all. Pinning too much blame on that one slow and prolonged aspect can make an astrologer sound like an old coot complaining about…

KF writes: “I notice that Neptune is in Pisces until 2026. I have a friend who has his Venus, Saturn, Moon, and Mercury spread out throughout Pisces (in that order). I feel really sorry for him, and kind of worry about him. But I don’t quite understand Neptune and what it means to have Neptune transiting all of those planets. He’s an 8 degree Aries, so even when Neptune is…

It sounds a little like this. Mars conjunct Pluto reaches the exact degree on Monday. It remains in effect for the next couple of weeks, and also interacts via square with Uranus. Think back to the issues you were facing during the Cardinal Grand Cross, and you might find a return visit some of those…

“I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.” -The Navy SEAL code One thing we astrologers often neglect to mention to the people we do readings for who are having bad transits: don’t let your bad transits take other people down with you. Case in point: Navy SEAL…

Mars in Capricorn is approaching the conjunction with Pluto and the square with Uranus, and that aspect will be in effect for most of November, reaching the exact degree on the 10th. Mars represents a lot of the impulses that society has a problem with, like sex and violence. Mars interacting with Pluto and Uranus in…

November isn’t usually the most exciting month of the year. It doesn’t have a Halloween or Christmas going for it. The weather is usually bad, but not as bad as it will be. Astrologically, this November is a bit like that. Jupiter and Saturn are square each other, but it isn’t exact. Uranus and Pluto…

Sometimes when you go a long time without seeing a person, you can be surprised by the changes they’ve undergone. People age. People gain or lose weight. People go through good and bad health. Renée Zellweger (born April 25, 1969, 2:41 PM, Baytown Texas) is someone we haven’t seen a lot of in the last…

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.” -Carl Sagan “I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which…

Say what you will about Neptune: it’s certainly persistent. As much as astrologers like to talk about the Uranus-Pluto square, or Saturn in Scorpio or whatever, we must never forget that we live primarily in the age of Neptune. Neptune is the grandmaster of dreams and delusions. It liberates us from the physical, and it…
