Oh My Stars

Donald Sterling is a bad person. There are a lot of people who will excuse racism by saying something like “well, everyone’s a little racist.” Personally, I don’t think so. But even if everyone is a little bit racist, using that argument to excuse it is pretty inadequate. It’s like saying “well, everyone gets gas…

First of all: if there’s any residual panic left in you from the transits we’ve had this month, set it aside. It’s pretty obvious you survived that last eclipse, and so it seems likely that your world won’t explode with this one either. With all that Cardinal Grand Cross stuff going on, our lives make…

To: Matthew Currie, Astrologer cc: The People Of Planet Earth From: Saturn I am writing to correct you on a matter that you have neglected in your writings for some time. Namely: me. This is the sort of situation that can only go one for so long, and be thankful that all you’re getting from…

The only thing that End Of The World predictions have all had in common is that none of them came true. Okay, in all fairness, we don’t know if the dinosaurs had a Nostradamus of their own or not, but the End Of The World clearly has not arrived yet. Although there aren’t any more…

The Sun has now entered Taurus, which means it’s that time of years when astrologers bust out all their old synonyms for “pleasure-loving” and “stubborn.” The truth though is that we all need a little stability in this nutty world — especially now as we are in the grip of the Cardinal Grand Cross — and…

(An introduction to the big celestial event of April, and why so many folks are stressed about it, is HERE. Part one, all about Pluto’s role in the Cardinal Grand Cross, is HERE. Part Two, about Uranus, is HERE.) It’s a commonly-held belief that the Chinese word for “crisis” also means opportunity. The truth is…

MW writes: “I’ve been reading a lot about the Venus-Saturn square aspect in my birth chart. It sounds like my love life is doomed, and that I will always fail in relationships or attract ‘bad love’ to myself. Can you explain that, and is it true?” Any aspect in a birth chart can potentially manifest…

(More on eclipses in general here, in my April editorial, Blood Moons And Dragons Eating The Sun) One of April’s two eclipses is happening early Tuesday morning, Eastern time. In a month that is already packed with thrills and chills, having two eclipses adds a zesty topping of dread for those of you who like to…

(Check out my April Editorial Blood Moons, Dragons Eating The Sun: Astrology And Eclipses, HERE!) And now, just because celebrities are people too (with the possible exception of that Ukrainian model who got all that plastic surgery to look like Barbie), let see how this month’s pile of planetary tsuris is affecting some of our favorite…

There is a natural tendency for us to forget that history in general, and our lives in particular, are really more of a continuum than a series of connected dots. When a person looks back on (for example) their romantic past, there is a tendency to think of it as “you were single, then BAM! you…
