Astrological Musings

Jill says it as well as I could: Molly Ivins can’t do that, can she? Alas, she can. Molly Ivins died far too soon [yesterday] at the age of sixty-two. I’m not sure if we could have made it through the last six years without Molly Ivins’ passion and humor. For all that she, as…

February begins in the shadow of the Full Moon in Leo which will be at maximum fullness at 12:46 am est on February 2.

I really like this article by Suzanne White which says, among other things: Astrology is not superstition. Not even close. Astrology is a language. It exists. Like Estonian or French. It just plain exists. Like hard boiled eggs or chutney. Now, for some, languages that they do not know and are unable to read or…

As you know if you’ve been reading this and other astrology columns over the past six months or so, we are in the middle of a major planetary cycle involving an opposition between Saturn, and its desire to create societal structures such as buildings but also governments and marriages, to Neptune, the planet which seeks…
