What Astrologers Are Saying About Uranus in Aries

Surely, this is one of the most exciting changes in the firmament that we have seen in years. Today, May 15, Uranus, the planet of change, moves into Taurus, the sign of stasis, where he has not been since 1942. Think of this planet and this sign as two constellations of ideas that are about to meld. Of course, Uranus is a planet with an energy that is really quite contrary to the earthy, practical, extremely fixed sign of Taurus. Uranus is the revolutionary, the rebel, scientist, genius, Prometheus who brings fire to humankind. He is the God of electricity, […]

Astrology & Fashion: Papess Rihanna

Pop mogul Rihanna strode into the Met Ball dressed as a She-Pope a few days ago — and she looked awesome, in the true sense of the word. Indeed, she appeared to be channelling the goddess herself. And no wonder — truly she is blessed by the gods of beauty and mystique. She has a lovely conjunction of Moon (allure) and Venus (beauty) Rising in Aries, the sign of the pioneer, the warrior. She is always brave in her fashion choices — and so on point. And look at Neptune, the god of glamour himself, right on her Midheaven. And, […]

Astrology & Fashion: Audrey Hepburn & Hubert de Givenchy

One morning in 1953, a slip of a girl turned up at the atelier of Hubert de Givenchy, one of a group of young fashion designers striving to put Paris back on the map as the post-war capital of fashion. She was wafer-thin with short dark hair, thick eyebrows and huge eyes. She wore narrow black capri pants with ballet pumps, a t-shirt and a gondolier’s hat with the word Venezia written on the band.  She wasn’t what young M. Givenchy had been expecting at all, so at first he was disappointed. He’d been waiting for the famous Hollywood superstar […]

The Legendary David Attenborough

He has given us the eyes to see beneath the waves, through the ice, into the dark belly of the earth, deep into the singing rainforest and the snowy taiga. He has shown us the world through the eyes of an eagle, a dolphin, an ant. From your sofa to the far Pacific islands or the melting polar ice caps, David Attenborough has made travellers and naturalists of us all. He has made us pay attention. And without being evangelical, he has shown us the horror and the sadness of what has happened to our dear planet over his lifetime. […]

Venus in Gemini: The Twinkle

Those of you who follow this series already know that we’re looking at beautiful or extraordinary people to try and get an idea of how Venus, the goddess of beauty, works in each sign. Light, breezy, youthful, friendly, clever, funny — those are Gemini adjectives. Maybe the most famous Venus in Gemini in the world is a just as famous for being a sister — appropriate for the sign of the twins. Tennis is, of course, a Gemini sport: it takes two. The twoness of Gemini might explain something else: why so many top models? Photographic modelling is not just about looking […]

La Bromance: Emmanuel & Donald

  There’s nothing surprising to an astrologer about the singular affinity of Presidents Macron and Trump. Indeed, their synastry is excellent. They flatter and reflect each other — one polishing the other’s shine. Furthermore, the fact that they seem to hold opposite opinions on just about everything from free trade to emigration, women’s rights to climate change is also written in the charts. And therein lies the mutual fascination. Emmanuel Macron, France’s ambitious, arrogant, clever, young president was born with and extraordinary and special Sun in the very final degree of the expansive sign of Sagittarius, where all that is […]

#RoyalBaby

Just popping up the freshly-hatched Royal Baby’s chart for you to peruse and enjoy. Wow, this one has pizzazz! This kid looks like he’s going to be glamorous, handsome and popular — maybe also the apple of his mother’s eye. But oh my what a Capricorn conjunction — Saturn-Lilith-Mars-Pluto — boom! Could mean a real grafter — he’s not going to lie around lotus-eating, and if it works out for him he could be of real service to the community. That’s also a pretty military combo — looks like a man in a uniform. And what about the Chiron in Aries […]
