Astrological Musings

by Lynn Hayes In early August the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology met in Washington DC to discuss the science that will constitute President Obama’s science agenda over the next few months.  At the time, chairman John Holdren made no comment about the H1N1 flu virus, although the virus was on the…

by Lynn Hayes Mars will enter Cancer this afternoon (Eastern time), at which time it will be exactly opposite Pluto in the sky.  An opposition is a stressful aspect of 180 degrees in which the two planets are polar opposites, each one struggling to prevail.  Ideally, in oppositions we try to balance the two ends…

by Lynn Hayes Jayson Blair, the New York Times journalist who was forced to resign in 2003 when it was discovered that he had plagiarized and simply made up some of his stories, is back in the news having reinvented himself as a life coach.  Blair now has a position with Ashburn Psychological Services in…

The Sun has just entered Virgo today so we’ll be talking about this mysterious and complicated sign.  We also have Mars moving into Cancer on Wednesday where it will form a stressful aspect to Pluto.  Mars/Pluto times can be difficult so we’ll discuss ways to navigate the rough waters.  I’ll also start a series about…

by Lynn Hayes I’m going to classify this under both Saturn (making the hard choices) in Virgo (dealing with day to day life in a body such as health, diet and routines), as well as Pluto (transformation) in Capricorn (the way our governmental structures operate). The fact is, we need a complete overhaul with the…

by Lynn Hayes Robert Novak, the self-proclaimed “Prince of Darkness,” died today at the age of 78.  Novak called himself the “stirrer-up of strife” and is most famous for having outed CIA agent Valerie Plame in a kerfuffle that led to the imprisonment of Dick Cheney’s aide Scooter Libby.  Novak was also famously called “The…

I spoke about this on the radio show August 9th and since I’m working on a big writing project I thought I’d post the link so you can take a listen if you didn’t hear it already.  At some point I’ll convert this into an article and post it on my website but meanwhile have…

A collaboration of abstract paintings by Denver artist Tracy Weil and “horoscope-inspired poems” by writer Drew Myron is on display in Colorado at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.  The exhibit, called “Forecast,” will also feature astrology readings although the article doesn’t say who will do the readings. Myron and Weil call themselves “amateur astrologists,”…
