Uranus in Aries: I’ve had enough!

2 April 2011

Over the last few months a number of couples I know  have split up.  The relationships affected are  not those that you would expect to go under. The people involved have been together for a long time, have created a mutual life and seem reasonably happy.  So why this sudden change?  The answer may be [...]

The Grand Cross and the Planetary Game

21 June 2010

On Saturday, the 19th, the Planetary Game,  a life-sized version of the Game of Transformation in which players walk a path laid out on the floor rather than move pieces on a board began. It is a powerful, collective experience involving over sixty participants and several Guides. While the regular board Game is played to facilitate [...]

An Astrological look at the Next British Goverment

10 May 2010

Here is an afterword  to my  previous post on the election. The election has turned out pretty much as I thought except I overestimated the size of the  Liberal Democrat popular vote. But with Neptune being so prominent, you never really know. So now what?  I cast another chart to see what the astrology revealed [...]

Election 2010: What the astrology says

5 May 2010

The General Election is almost here and the outcome is not at all certain which makes this the most interesting election in ages. I am interested enough to cast a chart for the event and see what light it can cast on the outcome. I drew up the chart for London at 10:00 pm, the [...]

Jupiter and Uranus bring Freedom and Change

30 April 2010

I have taken nearly two months from writing anything here. It’s been a good thing to do. When I set up this site, I was determined to write once a week or, at the very least once every two weeks, then felt very guilty if I failed to do so. Posting became one of those [...]

Love with Uranus and Venus is not Ordinary

4 March 2010

Currently, Venus is conjunct Uranus in Pisces and that has got me thinking about Uranus/Venus romances. If you think about it, Uranus and romance don’t really belong in the same sentence. Uranus is not a relationship planet. It is  concerned with expressing individuality, non-conformity and originality. Freedom and independence are the main impulses and any [...]

Haiti: astrology of a disaster

15 January 2010

Like many others around the world, my thoughts have been with Haiti and the dreadful catastrophe that has befallen it. One of the poorest and least equipped nations to deal with a disaster of such magnitude. It is not that Mother Nature targets these countries in particular. It hits them harder because they  cannot afford [...]

Mars Retrograde: retreat is not defeat

12 December 2009

Mars retrograde can catch one unawares. With most of the other planets you know where you are. Mercury retrogrades three times a year and the planets beyond Mars, regularly retrograde just before the first trine to the Sun and turn direct just after the second, a period of about five months every year. Mars and [...]

Saturn, Pluto & Witch Hunts

13 November 2009

When I think about Saturn/Pluto, I think of witch hunts. No witch hunt in particular, just in general. The combination of these two planets brings together the elements that make for a good witch hunt—fear, projection, paranoia, persecution. Saturn holds boundaries and presides over fear and it seems to me that almost everything that we might fear can be [...]

Saturn Square Pluto: the last quarter

16 October 2009

At the end of this month Saturn will enter Libra and immediately square Pluto in Capricorn. To get some sense of what this might bring it may be helpful to look at it as a part of a larger cycle. All planets have cycles in which they go around the zodiac and return to their [...]
