Astrological Musings

Elsa was kindly put up a link to an article John Townley wrote about “When Uranus Meets Mars.” A little less than every two years on average Mars conjoins Uranus, and when that combination of explosive force and targeted energy meet, often all hell breaks loose in the period surrounding. A good example is the…

Jill wrote a post yesterday about the sudden disappearance of honeybees, and subsequent research turned up this article which connects weather anomalies to changes in the Gulf Stream circuit, an event which occurred between December 11 and 19th just as Pluto was making its first conjunction to the Galactic Center. There is a link which…

It was recently announced that the US has made the brilliant (tongue in cheek) decision to build a wall separating the Shia and Sunni districts in Baghdad (after all, it worked so well for Germany). Dharmaruci has a wonderful post today about walls and the Saturn influence where predicts the likely outcome of this wall…

If you’re new to this site and missed the articles last year on Pluto’s reclassification and the new planet Eris, along with Ceres which was promoted from asteroid to planet status, I’ve synthesized them into permanent articles and posted them on my website.

In mythology they were daughters of the Titan Atlas. In the myth that I like, Atlas sided with…

To remind us that in the midst of darkness there is beauty and magic in our Universe, this photo comes from Iran and shows the Moon as it conjoins the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades.

I try not to be a “doom and gloom” column, but I have noticed a wave of darkness since Pluto turned retrograde last week concurrent with the Saturn station. Pluto is also stationary for the next few months, traveling no more than two degrees in either direction, so its influence is stronger than usual. This…

I was astonished by the superficiality of the psychological profiles of the so-called experts analyzing the 1800 page manifesto mailed to NBC by the Virginia Tech killer. It’s easy to dismiss these actions as psychotic delusions of grandeur from an individual who had lost touch with reality and ranted against rich kids and religion, but…
