Astrological Musings

I was never much of a conspiracy buff until a few years ago, although I did always think that JFK was assassinated by J Edgar Hoover. But after September 11 and my sister’s inspiration, I became a voracious reader on all things conspiratorial. So when I read that in the UK and in Europe biometric…

AND we get to keep Pluto if a proposal by a committee of the International Astronomical Union is passed. I’ll write more on this as I have time, but the new bodies classified as planets are Charon (formerly known as Pluto’s largest moon but now considered a trin planet), Ceres (formerly termed an asteroid), and…

This is not a doom and gloom column, but it’s useful to be prepared when difficult times are ahead, and we have a few configurations coming that will put pressure on the financial markets and create some economic instability. Jupiter and Saturn will make the final square of their year-long dance, forcing a confrontation between…

It seems to be true that whenever a couple talks incessantly about how much in love they are they break up soon afterwards, and this was true for Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson. National Ledger has my profile of the breakup (turn on your popup blockers!) and I won’t repeat it here. But some of…

For several years now, scientists have been threatening to remove Pluto’s “planet” status because it has turned out to be much smaller than originally thought when it was discovered in 1930. Scientists now believe that Pluto may be a member of the Kuiper belt band of rocky objects that orbit the Sun just past Neptune.…

Evidently the investigations that led to the arrests had been going on for quite some time in a cooperative enterprise…

Last night we rented the film March of the Penguins, a wonderful movie about the treacherous journey the Emperor penguins make each year in the brutal Antarctic winter to find a mate and hatch and raise a chick. In March or April, those penguins eligible for breeding make the long march inland where they meet

It’s always fascinating to look back into the historical record to see how planetary configurations applied themselves during those times in order to learn more about how those planets work together and to derive clues of how they may manifest this time around. Saturn/Neptune is a 36- year cycle which gives us plenty of interesting…

Thanks to Astrococktail for this fascinating link to the Washington Post vote database. where you can track who voted for what by party, state, region, “boomer status,” gender and astrological sign. It also gives a list of how many congresspeople are represented in each sign and who they are. I usually don’t highlight this kind…
