Astrological Musings

Today it is 98 degrees with expectations that the temperature will reach over 100 later this week!

John Roberts suffered a seizure yesterday and fell at his Maine vacation home on Monday, July 30. This was the second time he had blacked out after experiencing what they are calling a “benign idiopathic seizure,” meaning the medical experts don’t know what caused it. That always sends me running to the chart, because undiagnosable…

For those of us who are past midlife, the Third Age site is a great resource. The Third Age blog has commentary on all sorts of subjects, from health to career and general subjects related to the blossoming of life as the years go by. Victoria Bazeley is the astrologer on the site, and she…

For those of you on my mailing list, unfortunately the mailing service is down and the individual copies will go out soon. Meanwhile you can read the whole article here. An excerpt for the first few days of the month: As August begins, five major planets plus Chiron are in retrograde motion, including Jupiter, Uranus,…

Phil Brown posted the other day on the Overview Effect, defined here: The Overview Effect is the experience of seeing the Earth from a distance, especially from orbit or the Moon, and realizing the inherent unity and oneness of everything on the planet. The Effect represents a shift in perception wherein the viewer moves from…
