Astrological Musings

Our friend Ursi once again delights and amazes with this beautiful article on Renaissance astrology and magic which was taken from Christopher Warnock’s excellent site on the subject. Christopher tells us that for Renaissance astrologers, the planets were the link between the mundane life on earth and the magical realm of the angelic hierarchies. For…

Ryan O’Neal was arrested for assaulting his son Griffin this week, although Ryan claimed he was defending himself from an attack with a fireplace poker. Growing up with Ryan O’Neal can’t have been easy; all of his children have suffered from drug addiction and other problems. Even young Redmond, child of a relatively stable relationship…

In the year or so that I’ve offered the Skeptics Challenge, Paul is just the second person to participate. He sent me his birth date and time and I sent him a short reading which he has reproduced on his site here. He conducted a “scientific” experiment where he took the two most general statements…

Recently I’ve been doing more typed readings. Typically I prefer telephone readings because they’re more interactive, but the typed readings are powerful because there’s no instant feedback, no assurance that I’m on the right path. Just me and the computer and the birthchart, and the voice in my head that directs me which I have…

I’m now including a comprehensive list of the major planetary aspects and events as well. Here’s an excerpt for this week: The major aspects for February are the…

For the past year or so I have been followed by hawks. A hawk will fly right in front of me when I’m sitting on the porch, one will circle my car out on the highway. Often as I’m driving a hawk will swoop in front of me while I’m driving, causing me to watch…

Although I was a fan of Molly Ivins for years, it wasn’t until the Bush administration that her biting yet hilarious wit became a must-read for anyone skeptical of the Bush presidency. Ivins was celebrated for her unconventional and unabashedly liberal views and her passion for life and for her rebellious disdain for those in…

Work entitled “Alchemy” at Mamtaart.com I don’t see how the American public could have been convinced by the Bush White House that the threat from global warming was political, but there certainly is no escaping the reality now according to the Washington Post (and thousands of other news articles): Global warming is “very likely” caused…
