Astrological Musings

Thanks to my Timewave Zero list for posting this article: The brilliant planet Venus arrives at the pinnacle of its current morning apparition next week, rising at, or shortly before 3:20 a.m. local daylight time, its earliest rising time this year or next. That works out to more than two hours before the first sign…

Mitt Romney is gaining a bit of a reputation as a flip-flopper, but with three planets in Pisces (plus Ceres) it’s his nature to be adaptable. Pisces is the most watery of the water planets: Cancer is an earthy water and Scorpio is a fiery water, but Pisces is pure water in the sense that…

Thanks to Linea at KT the Astrologer’s site for posting this link of a TV interview with New Zealand astrologer Ken Ring predicting weather for the next year. He is very moon oriented in his projections, and it’s rather interesting to see how he approaches the fine art of weather prediction. This will be of…

This month we see the final phase of the conjunction of Pluto with the Galactic Center, and it takes place on the Full Moon. Pretty exciting! Here’s the introduction and details for the first week of October: As October begins, the prevailing elemental climate is fire and air, with a bit of water thrown in.…

Check out Phil Brown’s post on the life of the gifted mime Marcel Marceaux who died last week. Phil points out that Astrotheme‘s chart shows Gemini rising, although I am always a bit suspect of their birthtimes which are unattributed. But most interesting to me is the conjunction of Mercury in Pisces to Uranus, which…

In Cancer Mars becomes fiercely protective and emotionally sensitive as well as somewhat reactive and touchy. Mars…
