I can’t stop listening to West End Girl, Lily Allen’s brilliant break-up album. The English poet and pop diva is a mistress of the seemingly casual but utterly precise lyric. Allen’s always seemed really real, gritty, authentic. She managed to hang on to some kind of street-cred even when life bore her up to the […]

—————————— From East Wing Magazine “If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” — Betty Ford —————————— It was bad enough when they paved over the Rose Garden, but the destruction of the East Wing of the White House by a wrecking crew is just too […]

I spoke with author, teacher and astrologer Alex Trenoweth at the October Salon about her new book Zeus on the Loose. Here’s the publisher’s blurb: “Every parent wants the best for their child – and that starts with understanding how they learn. In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of growth, wisdom, and confidence – qualities […]

This essay came with this month’s horoscopes on 1 October. I’ve adjusted it slightly because — events, darling. This month’s illustrations were details of roses, which in themselves combine perfect order and disorder. A pair of scales, the symbol for Libra, has also been a symbol for justice for millenia. In ancient Egypt, your heart […]

No child should be part of any conflict — ever. So far, at least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted and taken for “re-education” into the heart of Russia. Meanwhile, at least 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed outright by the Israeli military in the last 18 months. This is not to mention the countless […]

European leaders are meeting Donald Trump at the White House. This is a truly historic moment. Who are the personnel? In a few words… Donald Trump, we know, is a Gemini with Leo Rising, born on an eclipse so Sagittarius Moon. Changeable, but must feel regal. Volodymr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, is an Aquarian with […]

“There was once a dreadfully wicked hobgoblin. One day he was in capital spirits because he had made a looking-glass which reflected everything that was good and beautiful in such a way that it dwindled almost to nothing, but anything that was bad and ugly stood out very clearly and looked much worse. The most […]

Today Venus and Uranus meet — which they do every year, of course — but this time it’s a super-potent rendezvous. They are meeting at the very end of Taurus — 29° — and the following day Venus will skip into Gemini, and on 7 July, Uranus will follow her. He has not visited Gemini […]

This month’s horoscopes came with this short essay. I think it’s important to know. Things fall apart, slowly at first, and then it happens all at once. We’ve been experiencing the “all at once” phase. The global order with which we are familiar was established after World War Two with the Bretton Woods agreement, the […]
