Astrological Musings

You can read here all about what October has in store for us. I also pulled my thoughts on Saturn/Neptune into one article which is posted here. From Skywatch, here’s what’s coming up next week including the Full Moon in Aries: Mercury (communication and thought process) will leave Libra for Scorpio on October 2, intensifying…

I’m taking a break Saturday so I can write the October Skywatch. Meanwhile here are some links for your reading pleasure: Philip Brown takes a look at Senator George “Macaca” Allen, something I’ve been meaning to do myself. Jeffrey reviews the film Hollywoodland and the Saturn/Neptune opposition. Jill links to and discusses Keith Olbermann’s perfect…

Two astrobloggers whom I hold in high esteem have quoted my ponderings on the “tripartite nature of Pluto” including Eris and Ceres. Their comments are really wonderful and help to expand this concept. From Jeffrey comes this beautifully written story of the Pluto drama: At the beginning of a Pluto transit, there is a sense…

You can tell Owen Wilson is unusual the first time you see him in a film. Shaggy hair, crooked nose: he doesn’t look like your everyday film star. And even though the parts he plays are typically the sophomoric doofus, his presence lingers and suggests a deeper and more complex character lies beneath. His chart…

The opposition from Saturn to Neptune was expected to decrease the supply of oil (Saturn is “dry” and Neptune is “wet”) causing oil prices to rise, but the addition of Jupiter’s expansive properties (in a square to Neptune) has boosted confidence in the world’s oil supply and prices have dropped. There has been some speculation…

I was very impressed by the depth of his commitment to the spiritual life and his eloquence in describing…

Keith Olbermann, our generation’s Edward R. Murrow, lets Bush have it with a scathing comment in tonight’s newcast.

Philip Brown has an interesting article about the birth of Al Qaeda that started me thinking. Philip uses the date of August 11, 1988 as the date for his chart; however, the book I just read by CNN’s terrorism expert Peter Bergen called “The Osama bin Laden I Know” outlines the dates for the formation…

As noted here a few days ago, President Bush is having a major planetary crisis in terms of his relationships. Saturn with its tests and challenges is affecting Venus in his chart, creating limitations and restrictions in his relationships with others as demonstrated by Venus. But that’s not all: Chiron with its tendency to wound…

Venus in Virgo squares off with Pluto over the next few days, creating potential crises in relationships (Venus) as issues that may have been buried are dredged up by Pluto. However, the sextile (60 degrees) between Saturn and Mercury will encourage a commitment (Saturn) to communicate (Mercury) and resolve any dissonance that arises. Neptune has…
