Astrological Musings

A comment from Cathy to the previous post reports: I looked back on previous oppositions between Saturn and Neptune and the wars that were going on then did not end when the aspect ended. Far from it! 1971-72 – Vietnam didn’t end until 1975. In fact Nixon’s slogan was “peace with honor”. It sounds very…

Saturn is nearly exactly opposite Neptune now, and there are a lot of qualities to this configuration. Deception (Neptune) is confronted by law (Saturn). The mysterious (Neptune) is being challenged by pragmatism (Saturn). Big Brother (Saturn) wants to spy on your private life (Neptune). Here are just three fascinating stories that mirror these dynamics: The…

This New Moon marks the New Year of the Chinese calendar, and 2007 is the Year of the Golden Pig. In Chinese astrology, each year is represented by twelve different animals with the pig being the final animal in the cycle. Concurrent to the twelve-year animal cycle is cycle of the five elements, so 2007…

JM has quite a bit of information on the lunar nodes right now. I love her blog Raging Universe, it’s exhilarating and effervescent and wise, all at once. And with beautiful art as well.

Aquarius is the radical, the inventor – it seeks to change the status quo and provides vision for change. There is an electrical quality…

Watch the video here. There has been virtually no media coverage of this event outside of a few minor journals in the UK. I found an article that reports a wedding having released Chinese-style “glow” lanterns that very day. However, the glow lanterns that I found on the internet don’t look anything like UFOs. One…

There’s some great stuff out there today: Barbara explores infinite love and gratitude. Jeffrey gives advice about love in the time of Mercury Rx.Robert celebrates a love affair with astrology. Enjoy!

A question often asked: “I am looking to understand the “CUSP” between a Virgo and a Libra? After reading [horoscopes for] both for several months, I am finding myself more inclinded to be or leaning towards Libra. Can you give me any insite that might point me towards my true sign?” This individual was born…
