Astrological Musings

June begins on the heels of a powerful Full Moon with a strong Jupiter influence that is helping to counteract the potential for bitterness of the opposition between Saturn’s need for a structured reality versus Neptune’s need for mystery and flexibility. The Saturn/Neptune opposition has been one of the strongest planetary influences since last summer,…

After getting my laptop back with a shiny new hard drive and reloading software until 2 am, Skywatch for June is late and I am behind on everything. Please visit some of my friends today for your astrological fix: Susan regales us with tales of her (second) Saturn Return and prepares for Pluto in Capricorn.…

Christopher Hitchens has a new book out called “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.” While I totally agree with his premise that religion (Sagittarius) has poisoned many things and created more wars than anything else, I am saddened by his obvious need, like so many skeptics, to throw out any sense of wonder…

image from Worth1000.com Despite a 6.5% decline in the Chinese stock markets, the Dow Jones and S&P averages relentlessly rose to a new high and the Nasdaq index went up 21 points. Americans are unique in their unabashed optimism and the apparent belief that what goes up need not come down. In that belief we…

Lindsey Lohan has been blessed with beauty and success, but over the past year she has become the subject of tabloid headlines. Most recently she was arrested for drunk driving and the possible possession of cocaine. (See birthchart link.) Lindsey was born under the sign of Cancer – symbolized by the crab, Cancerians are sensitive,…

Leslie over at Karmic Knowledge has posted a very interesting article about Jerry Falwell’s karmic choice between fundamentalism and freedom. She posts a quote from writer Steven Pressfield that I found particularly potent: …The human being isn’t wired to function as an individual. We’re wired tribally, to act as part of a group… We know…

I have long been fascinated by the possibility of forecasting the weather by the planets and I recently found a website (unfortunately I don’t recall the path I took) called The Weather Alternative that is quite interesting. Here in North Carolina we could really use some rain, and summer hurricanes off the Atlantic coast usually…

I was a student during the Vietnam war, and in demonstrations and marches against the war we decried the philosophy of our government that killing for peace made sense. On September 11 we were attacked by Osama bin Laden, and 2,646 Americans were killed. Since then, 3,813 Americans have been killed in the wars in…
