This seems to echo both of the major planetary cycles going on right now: the square of Jupiter (overconfidence) to Uranus (technology and innovation) and the opposition between Saturn (government structure) and Neptune (mystery and deception): Iran has converted one of its most powerful ballistic missiles into a satellite launch vehicle. The 30-ton rocket could…

I just stumbled upon another astrology blog, this one from Neil Paris in the UK. He has a great post on possible manifestations of the Jupiter/Uranus square that we are experiencing this year: Religious exile – people abandon their previous beliefs, members of the church quit, resign or are fired, or change faiths altogether, or…

Venus Verticordia*, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Mercury is nearing a conjunction with Neptune that will be exact on Friday but will remain in effect for the next few days.

In the video he says that during the first 30 days he learned that abstinence is only the…

I came across this treatise on market speculation from the 1930s that some kind blogger posted on his/her site which has some interesting tidbits such as these: SUN–The Sun rules gold, gilt-edged stock and Government Securities, and the general tone of the Market. It does not materially affect the Market itself, except as it forms…

As President Bush prepares to deliver his (OMG) seventh State of the Union address, we take a look at what the stars have in store for him over the next few months. You may want to revisit my original overview of Bush’s chart, last year’s “State of the President” post, and the update from last…

I’m giving my brain a rest today, please visit some of my friends: Neith has some interesting thoughts on Capricorn. And explores the Renaissance theme a little further. Dharmaruci links the science of nuclear power to Uranus/Chiron cycles. (his blog has a cool new look, too). April is Obama’s birthday twin – should she run…
