Astrological Musings

Saturn, which has been traveling retrograde where it has been challenging our understanding and forcing us to go back and confront areas where we are less than good enough, turns direct today and resumes its forward motion through the sign of Leo until September, when it will enter Virgo and a new phase of our…

I want to preface this post by reiterating that no astrological chart reveals a predestination to be a killer, and there is no way we could have looked at this young man’s chart before yesterday and predicted that he would go out and start shooting at his classmates. Cho Seung Hui’s Sun was at 27…

The New Moon in Aries today seems to have swept in on a wave of aggression. The other day I posted a roundup of Marsy bloggers, and many of us have been feeling this unrest over the past few days. This New Moon makes an exact trine to Pluto, which frees up the Arian energy…

photo from nasa Pat Paquette posted this the other day – Isn’t it amazing and uncannily synchronous? In the middle of our discussion about the effects of the Saturn-Neptune opposition, suddenly government scientists announce the discovery of an incredible hexagonal vortex on Saturn’s north pole. . . . ::snip::The hexagon is found in honeycombs, snowflakes,…

Like many people I watch Angelina Jolie with fascination. From her earliest days in the public arena with tales of bisexuality and self-mutilation she has appeared to be a wild and unusual woman. After having transformed herself into a representative of the United Nations and mother of a growing brood of international children with Brad…

I’ve been feeling particularly Marsy today – snippy, irritated and generally difficult. Mars is approaching a square to my progressed Sun and I am really feeling it, and the upcoming New Moon in Aries will accentuate the influence of Mars which is currently in Pisces. Evidently I’m not alone: Elsa writes about drawing fire because…

As most of you know, Pluto was reclassified last year joining Ceres and Eris as dwarf planets (I personally wish they had kept the initial name of Plutons, but oh well). This has not changed the effect that Pluto has in the birthchart, which is to bring us face to face with our deepest fears…

You may remember that the Full Moon in Libra on April first included a trine to Pluto, the god of transformation, and I noted in an earlier post that this seemed to have stimulated a new sense of political diplomacy. We also have been seeing a rash of apologies over the past two weeks: Here…

Leslie adds a karmic viewpoint to the fate of Alberto Gonzales: From a karmic standpoint, Gonzales was born with Saturn in Scorpio, indicating a lesson in the right use of power. He also has a stellium in Leo, the sign of leadership and pride. Saturn is squaring his Leo Sun, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter, which…

photo stolen from salon.com. Isn’t it great? Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday at the age of 84, concluding the career of one of the most unusual writers of the twentieth century. Author of Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five among many others, Vonnegut drew from his experience as a prisoner of war when he was captured by…
