Into the Light : George Carlin : Humourous Iconoclast
Into the Light| No Comments »George Carlin was a comedian who combined frank talk with obtuse observations that blended in a way to make insight into the absurd hypocrisies of life.
Carlin’s wit was sometimes overshadowed by his tendency to break the rules and take humour to new territories in terms of language and subject matter. He was a product of [...]
Popwatch : Amy Winehouse’s Health Problems
popwatch| No Comments »Amy Winehouse isn’t having the best time of it. She has had some major astrological transits going on for the past few years, including a now-ended Pluto conjunction of her natal Neptune and Moon, which could have led to an increase in drug use.
Amy has now been diagnosed with emphysema, brought about through her [...]

birthday twins| No Comments »Curt Smith: Tears for Fears Musician and Angst-Ridden Proto-Emo
Sun:Cancer
Ascendant: Unknown
Moon: Scorpio
We have now moved solidly into Cancer Sun signs. I must admit, I am a bit sad to see the Gems go, as they add a lot of colour to the world. Now as we enter the realm of the Cancer birthdays, we will encounter [...]

Starwatch: First Day of Summer (or Winter for Those Down Under) and Mercury Direct!
starwatch| No Comments »The Sun enters Cancer today, which marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere, the shortest in the Southern) and first day of Summer (or Winter, just trying to be “astrologically correct”).
Also yesterday, Mercury finally resumed direct motion after having been retrograde since May 26th. Communication flows more [...]
Birthday Twins : June 20 : Brian Wilson : Descent into Madness
birthday twins| No Comments »Brian Wilson: Beach Boy
Sun: Gemini
Ascendant: Taurus
Moon: Virgo
Brian Wilson is considered an eccentric, experimental genius and perfectionist. These tendencies can be seen by Uranus conjunct his ascendant and his Moon in exacting Virgo.
Wilson had early career success with the Beach Boys, but yearned to do more experimental work. In the very late 60s, he started a [...]
The Daily Vibe : June 20 : Come Undone
daily vibe| No Comments »Duran Duran: Come Undone
Moon conjunct Jupiter, Moon sextile Uranus, Sun opposite Pluto, Sun into Cancer (Summer Solstice)
Happy Birthday John Taylor!
Today is a day of big, deep-felt emotions. We have moved out of wise-a$$ Gemini and entered into the more vibe of Cancer. Today’s Moon conjunct Jupiter while sextiling Uranus allows us to get swept away [...]

The Daily Vibe : June 19 : I Can See Clearly Now
daily vibe| No Comments »Johnny Nash: I Can See Clearly Now
Mercury Direct in Gemini, Moon trine Saturn
After several weeks of increasingly confusing miscommunication and minor, yet frustrating, technical annoyances, Mercury goes direct in its ruler, Gemini. As Mercury has been retrograde in its ruling sign, foggy brain syndrome may have been even greater than usual, and misunderstandings in communication [...]
Birthday Twins: June 18 : Paul McCartney : Heather Mills, Juno and the Archtype of the Crazy Wife
birthday twins| No Comments »Paul McCartney: Beatle, Gold-Dug Man
Sun: Gemini
Ascendant: Virgo
Moon: Leo
Even though Paul McCartney and Heather Mills were born decades apart, their Junos are in incredibly close conjunction. Juno is the asteroid of marriage, and can often signify this in a chart. But marriage isn’t necessarily a happily-ever-after fairy tale, and Juno can also represent the shadow side [...]
