Astrological Musings

Ever since the tenth planet was discovered as UB313, nicknamed Xena and now officially named Eris, it’s been calling to me. I don’t know why Eris speaks to me and not the other recently discovered planets, Sedna and Quaoar, but it is very clear to me that Eris has something to say astrologically. I felt…

In light of the mess surrounding “Pagegate” and the potential fall of the Republican Party I thought Mr. Foley deserved his own post. Mark Foley (see chart) was born under the sign of Virgo, a sign famously known for its fastidiousness and desire for continual self-improvement. Unless there are other more fiery elements in the…

art by Kris Waldherr snagged from Paleothea.com Jeffrey had a fascinating post the other day on Persephone’s willingness to go into the underworld of her own free will. I’m looking forward to debating Jeffrey soon on the rulership of Ceres (he says Virgo, I say Cancer) but I’m still looking for my Demetra George book.…

Topix.net is a great portal that’s been carrying many of my posts lately, including links in their science section which as an astrologer makes me really happy. It’s a search engine AND news feed, and a really good source of information on just about everything. I have it linked in the left sidebar, so take…

The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the Autumn Equinox (usually in September but occasionally in early October), rising within an hour of sunset in the Northern hemispheres and hanging in the sky like a huge lantern, illuminating farmers as they bring in the harvested crops. The Full Moon occurs when the Sun…

In the news today: A “bonanza” of new planets has been found at the heart of our galaxy, NASA astronomers announced today. Sixteen potential planets have been detected in the region known as the Galactic Bulge, the mass of stars and hot gas at the center of the Milky Way some 26,000 light-years away. This…

The past couple of months have seen a virtual epidemic of shootings in schools: August 24 – a 27-year old man went to an elementary school in Essex, Vermont looking for his ex-girlfriend, a teacher. Unable to find her, he killed the ex-girlfriend’s mother and fatally shot one teacher, wounding another. August 30 – inspired…

This post is for D, within whom a struggle rages between her Virgo Moon and her Leo Sun/Ascendant. She generally takes the side of Virgo against Leo, preferring the modest humility of Virgo to the ego drives of Leo. I, of course, am always urging her not to hide her Leo light under a bushel.…

Fractal art by 3Datelier. For years I have pursued skeptics, offering free readings to anyone who doesn’t believe in astrology. I am fairly certain that most skepticism arises from a disbelief in “sun sign” astrology and horoscopes, yet not one skeptic has ever taken me up on my offer which would demonstrate the difference between…

Despite the recently released National Intelligence Estimate that unequivocally states that the war in Iraq has worsened the problem of terrorism around the world, Donald Rumsfeld remains stubbornly optimistic and admits no errors in his handling of the war, saying “No one anticipated the insurgency’s strength,” a statement which of course is patently untrue. He…
