Sudden deaths of a myriad of celebrities, revolutions in Iran and Honduras, what is going on?
Well a lot, astrology-wise. There is a lot of intense, really rare energy this summer: the alignment of Neptune, Chiron, and Jupiter (so rare wont happen again until 2239), a series of eclipses in a new eclipse cycle (eclipses often [...]

Right now there is a very rare conjunction of Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in Virgo’s sixth house of health. This planetary configuration is so rare it will not take place again until 2239. Virgos have a tendency to be gluttons for self-punishment. Their need for control can make them push their body to extremes, and [...]

Today at 1:43 pm Paris time marks the beginning of Astrological New Year’s, when the Sun enters the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. Use today to realign yourself and your goals to your dreams, and try to look to the future and make peace with the past.

Uranus opposite Saturn: Election Day
Big deal, this is. This is a relatively rare transit and this is the first of a series. Uranus and Saturn will be playing tag a number times between now and 2010. Last time this happened was in the mid-60s, and before that 1920, the dawn of the modern era, filled [...]

Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, two of the stars of the new Oliver Stone movie filming down in Louisiana, were arrested for disturbing the peace at a bar - big deal. Except it is so much uglier than that, apparently the closet klanners in the Shreveport police held Wright down and repeatedly tased and [...]

Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel have split after almost five years together and a seemingly solid relationship. In an earlier post, I stated how between now and mid-August there could be a lot of surprise break-ups due to the upcoming eclipses in Leo and Aquarius. These eclipses will strike the fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, [...]

Notice the sudden surge of celebrity break-ups lately? Kate Moss and her current creepy guy, A-rod and his wife, Madonna and Guy, Drew Barrymore and Apple Guy possibly Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner? In the land of real people, you probably know of some friends breaking up suddenly this month.
The reason? Eclipse madness. The weeks [...]

The Beatles: Tomorrow Never Knows
Uranus retrograde, Moon sextile Mercury, Moon square Jupiter, Moon sextile Neptune
Uranus goes retrograde today and will remain that way until the early days of November. When an outer planet goes retrograde it is a time when its energy tends to be more internally focussed. Uranus is the planet of change and [...]

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 [...]

Here’s Burt from Sesame Street doing the Taxi Driver monologue, language NSFW. Mercury Retro sometimes feels this way.
Today Mercury goes retrograde until June 19. Mercury retrogrades are periods when the energy related to the planet Mercury and the sectors it rules can go a bit screwy. Communication can go haywire with crossed wires and misunderstandings. [...]
