Astrology of Now: Perfect Legs

by  • 

When the planet of disco balls and silver suits, that is Uranus, dances in perfect time with that stately waltzer Saturn, you know you’re in a peculiarly potent sort of season. Of course, Uranus and Saturn have been doing this all summer from early Taurus and Capricorn respectively. This is a frictionless but productive aspect. This week, the Sun will join Uranus and Saturn from Virgo, creating a perfect Earth Grand Trine and triggering that energy into a circuit. All Earth signs — and Aquarians — could feel a wave of ease and energy. If you want to make something […]

RIP Aretha Franklin

by  • 

Aretha Franklin brought everyone who listened to her glorious voice closer to heaven while she was here on earth. She seemed to her audience like a living vessel for the divine. Her voice seemed to effortlessly catalyse emotions. Just a quick look at her chart is instructive. • There is her label “Queen” of Soul. Look what she has rising: Juno, the Queen, in Scorpio, the deepest sign of all. • Moon (soul) is in Cancer, it’s own sign, so super-powerful, and making an exact trine to her Mercury in musical Pisces. Mercury tells us how we communicate — and […]

The Goddess Weekend

by  • 

Oh those neglected asteroids, floating around in the Kuiper belt wastes, ignored and even derided (as a bunch of rubble behind Mars). Well, no longer. The Oxford Astrology Group will be devoting an entire weekend to Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Juno this September — and you are cordially invited. I’m very excited to be participating. I feel privileged — and a little awed — to be working with Lynn Bell and Faye Cossar, two of the smartest astrologers teaching today. If you have never heard either of them speak, you are in for a treat (and some serious brain gym). If […]

August Correction!

by  • 

I got myself into a Uranian switcheroo with the Aquarius horoscopes. So sorry Aquarians, I got it backwards — how Uranian is that? Corrections have been sent out twice, but with the mistake still compounded in the first one! The correct one is also accessible from this site — to get there click here. I’m blaming Mercury Retrograde, of course, but I suspect that Uranus turning retrograde now needs his own personal post for everyone. Uranus turns retrograde on August 7 at 2° Taurus.

Juno and the Axis of Desire

by  • 

This year Juno, the asteroid named after the goddess of marriage and commitment, will be spending a long time in Taurus, a sign associated with passion, desire, obstinacy and obsession. Taurus is, of course, the opposite sign to Scorpio — also a sign known for obsession, obstinacy and lust. Together, these two, fixed earth and water, create a powerful axis of desire and ownership across the Zodiac. Taurus asks: “What do I want?” Scorpio replies: “I can give you what you desire, but you must pay the price.” These signs are associated with sex and money, jealousy and enslavement. The […]

Eclipsing the Queen

by  • 

Sometimes you just can’t make up the astrology. Donald Trump met the Queen of England at Windsor Castle the day after an eclipse last week. He broke protocol bigly, and in particular he did this. He stepped in front of the Queen, which would be a huge no-no if it had been any old lady, but in this case was considered completely beyond the pale. The eclipse took place across Cancer-Capricorn at 20°. The Queen’s own nodal axis (which shows where the eclipses are taking place) is across Cancer-Capricorn — at 20°. Just saying.
