Astrological Musings

“Transparent” by Mamta Herland I’ll be writing something on the upcoming opposition of Saturn to Neptune over the next week or so.

Having seen the movie “The Seven Year Itch,” I thought this was an interesting statistic considering that the astrological Saturn cycle is about 7.4 years. (First the conjunction, then the opening square at…

We are still experiencing the remnants of the dynamic between Saturn, Jupiter and Chiron (see other articles in this column for more details). The dance between these three planets has forced confrontations that have remained dormant, and when Mars (aggression and warfare) opposed Neptune (confusion) in early July violence erupted in multiple arenas around the…

Hilary Swank seemed to have everything an actor could want: two Oscars, critical acclaim for her craft and a stable marriage to Chad Lowe.

Liz Greene is quite possibly my favorite astrology writer of all time, and yesterday I dug out her book The Art of Stealing Fire: Uranus in the Horoscope, which is actually a transcription of a seminar on the subject. In it she briefly touches on the work of the Roman writer Manilius, who in his…

Home equipment and media may break down and family issues that we thought were resolved will erupt again for renewed consultation. Mercury will remain in Cancer…

I’ll be taking a break this weekend from Mercury-related brain work, so here are some links I recommend in the meantime: from my favorites: Robert Wilkinson gives a detailed analysis of Mercury in Cancer and refers to his companion piece on Mercury in Leo. Jeffrey Kishner ponders the astrology of Superman. Nancy Waterman reviews the…
