The role of the Ascendant in defining ourselves

The Ascendant and the Sun sign are often confused and I blame this on Sun sign astrology (so-called “horoscopes” that you see on the web and in newspapers which claim to predict the future based on the sign your Sun was in at the time you were born).  Sun sign astrology claims that the Sun […]

The return of Planetary Illuminations

Earlier this year I put the Planetary Illuminations report on hiatus.  I had been undergoing a Big Uranus Transit and re-evaluating how I wanted to spend my energy. I always knew I would revive  this monthly report – after 25 years it’s in my blood.  However, I am making some changes.  I won’t be posting the report […]

A reader asks, “When will we know peace in the world?”

I received this in my email today: I should think that every published astrologer would be writing about a time when all of these horrid transits and conjunctions will end. Or will they ever? Yet, I have scoured The Mountain Astrologer, online astro sites and subscribe to anyone who might talk about such events. It’s […]

“The year that rock exploded”: Neptune in Sagittarius

I was just reading a review of a new book about 1971 as “the year that rock exploded” which says: “In his new book, Never a Dull Moment,Hepworth makes the case that the music from 1971 was the result of “a huge explosion of creativity in a very short period of time” and lives on […]

Pluto in Capricorn: The Death of Capitalism?

Astrologer Richard Nolle posted a link to this article on Facebook: At the very moment of its ultimate triumph, capitalism will experience the most exquisite of deaths. This is the belief of political adviser and author Jeremy Rifkin, who argues the current economic system has become so successful at lowering the costs of production that […]

Sunday inspiration: Longing to Belong

Venus is in Cancer right now, enhancing our longing to belong to a tribe, a family of souls that connect us to the earth.  This longing for connection conflicts over the next day or two with Uranus in Aries – the individualist, the loner.  This conflict between our need for individual space and our need to […]

Report on the Full Moon Summer Solstice

While the Summer Solstice is usually celebrated on June 21st, the astrological Solstice occurs when the Sun enters Cancer, and that occurred this year on June 20th.  This Summer Solstice coincided with the Full Moon, something we hadn’t seen apparently since 1948 (according to news reports). The Sun is strongest in a sign when it […]

Pluto and the US Chart – An Eruption of Darkness

In the kind of transformational astrology that I practice, Pluto’s rule in the astrological pantheon is to take us deep into the Underworld and reveal all of the dark and nasty corners of the psyche in order to illuminate that darkness and therefore aid in the process of personal evolution. Pluto is the Lord of Death […]

Happy birthday Donald, and the 2016 Trump Update

Many of you have written to me asking for an update on the chart of Donald Trump.  Last year I published this profile, and now he is the presumptive Republican nominee for the US presidency. When I write a profile of people in the news I attempt to put aside my personal feelings and let the astrology […]
