A huge fire whirl, sometimes called a fire devil, roars down a road; people are incinerated in their homes; the sun is reduced to a glowing orange ball behind the smoke; chaos. Spin the globe, blood-red flowers drip from lamp-posts, memorials, statues; wrap around park benches, line streets, nestle in every buttonhole. Spin it again, fireworks, marigolds, turmeric; chaos. Red, orange, yellow – fire colours are everywhere. Jupiter, the biggest planet, has come home to fiery Sagittarius, a sign where he knows no boundaries at all. Excess in everything. It’s always worth noting what’s in the news when Jupiter changes […]

Bell bottoms had arrived, skirts were both up and down; everyone was talking about the Isle of Wight Festival and Jimmy Hendrix’s jacket. It was a summer of transformation: the 60s were over. In the spirit of the time, an art student called Farrokh Bulsarra changed his last name to Mercury. Bulsarra had just joined a band called Smile, but he persuaded them to turn themselves into Queen. He also explained to them — and this took him a little longer — that they needed to look the part on stage. Rock and roll was about performance, creating an experience […]

In case you’re not being deluged with US news wherever you are, I’ll let you in on a secret, it’s Election Day in the United States again. Not for the prez but for a proportion of the members of Congress, various governors and sundry state elections. However, rarely has a mid-term election been freighted with so much importance. Currently, Donald Trump’s Republican Party controls both houses of Congress, but only by a whisker. If the Democrats can wrest control of the Hill, they will be able to put the brakes on the Trumpmobile that’s been doing wheelies through the White […]
The post Astrology of Now: Blue Wave appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.
This morning I woke up and turned on the radio. The news poured out like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: pestilence, famine, war, death. So I changed over to a music station and had my mind cleaned by Bach. This set me wondering though, about the effect of constantly hearing the news on the psyche. Because the news we hear — at least where I live — is pretty much by definition bad: another tsunami, another corrupt politician, another child missing. Indeed, if our world view is shaped by what we hear on the news, then the world is […]
The post Phenomena: The “News” appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.
This amusing and insightful talk by philosopher Alain de Botton is a wonderful demonstration of a Sagittarian at full throttle. Brilliant, of course, persuasive and wide-ranging, offering tons of good advice — also, overwhelming and a bit of a know-it-all. I’m posting today for several reasons. First of all, Venus, the planet of love, has just slipped backwards into Libra, the sign of relationships. So maybe we should all be considering why we choose who we choose. Secondly, Jupiter is sitting right on de Botton’s Neptune at 29° Scorpio today. That’s a deeply imaginative Neptune. We don’t have de Botton’s […]

It’s Scorpio time again — the “fixed” period of autumn. Fixed water: ice. Which says quite a bit about Scorpio itself, because ice is, of course, both beautiful and dangerous, delicious and special, wet and hard. Think about that…. Here are a few things you can do to get into the spirit of the season. Scare yourself silly in the library. That means either rewatching Buffy or picking up a copy of Dracula — still one of the scariest books I have ever read. Become a detective. In the North, the trees are shedding their leaves now, revealing what lies […]
