Mars square Neptune in the natal chart brings bravery and glamour but also intrigue and scandal. These people simply have to express their strong desires by fighting for some worthy cause, they do it through their actions. Their passions are not bound by traditional public standards hence there is sometimes scandal, yet they draw on a very strong faith to march onward into battle. William McKinley (13′) was the President of the United States, assassinated aged 58. He led the U.S. to victory in the Spanish–American War. He was shot at the Temple of Music by an anarchist. Just before he died he asked his staff to break it gently to his wife, and to call off the mob that was onto his assassin. Andy Warhol’s (15′) visual arts explore the “relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement “. He attracted “distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.” Andy survived an assassination attempt by a radical feminist acquaintance. He was bisexual and a devout Ruthenian Catholic. Though he attended church nearly every day he always sat up the back. His art was heavily influenced by his religion. He died aged 58 of a […]

Weekly Forecast October 1
The weekly horoscope is a general astrological forecast for all horoscope signs starting on Monday of each week, with information on the daily transits and fixed stars.
Comet ISON
Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) was discovered at 5:15 am on September 21 2012 by Artem Novichonok and Vitaly Nevsky at the ISON-Kislovodsk observatory in Russia. The astronomers on their blogs and forums are saying there is a good chance that this will be a big one, very bright around the end of 2013. That is so long as it doesn’t break up like comet Elenin, and even though the discoverer titled his blog post “GREAT COMET FROM RUSSIA“, he does say “any optimistic forecasts should be treated with caution…its core can be very fragile and may not survive the comet perihelion.” I hope that comet ISON holds together and gives us a good show following the disappointment of Elenin. I’m sure that either way we will soon be hearing about ascension, doomsday or some aliens riding the tail in. I’ll start that ball rolling by looking into some old and new astrological methods for interpreting the meaning of comets. Tweet Comet ISON Astrology Robson says that the effect of comets is influenced “through the constellation in which they appear, and also through the zodiacal sign and degree to which their position corresponds. They are said to cause inordinate heat, pestilence. […]
Noctua the Owl
The small constellation Noctua spans just five degrees between 15 and 20 Scorpio. Noctua is the species name of the Little Owl, Athene noctua. The genus name comes from Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. Athena’s Owl was called Glaucus, Greek for “glaring“. The Little Owl does have a stern expression. Glaucus sat on Athena’s blind side so that she could see the whole truth. The owl can turn it’s head right round, looking behind to find the truth through hindsight. The German philosopher Georg Hegel referred to Glaucus to explain his idea that philosophical understanding can only come from hindsight: “the owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk“. Minerva is the Roman equivalent of Athena (asteroid Pallas Athena). In astrology, the constellation Noctua is fortunate, giving honor and ambition. Owls are are vigilant predators and this comes through as a killer instinct, fixity of purpose and steely determination. Wisdom, both spiritual and intellectual, comes through contemplation of their experiences. Margaret Thatcher (Noctua rising) once said “The wisdom of hindsight, so useful to historians and indeed to authors of memoirs, is sadly denied to practicing politicians”. The literary genius Johan Wolfgang Goethe also had Noctua […]
