When Taurus Loved Scorpio: the Passion, the Madness

by Christina • December 10, 2017

“I woke up absolutely raging with desire for you my love … Oh dear God how I did want you. Perhaps you were stroking your darling self.” — Olivier to Leigh If sensual Taurus and sexy Scorpio can get it together, the earth really does move, after all these are (arguably) the two most intense signs in the Zodiac. When Laurence Olivier met Vivien Leigh, they were both already married, but that didn’t stop them from falling wildly in love. Laurence Olivier (Taurus) and Vivien Leigh (Scorpio) were the Brangelina of their day. Glamourous, beautiful, talented, passionate … Their union […]

Mad About Each Other: Harry and Meghan

by Christina • December 7, 2017

Let’s focus on some good news. Prince Harry, brother of the future king, is going to marry a successful, mixed-race, working woman in her 30s. She’s American, divorced and brought up largely by her single mother. Her family is not out of the top drawer, but out of that capacious middle one. All of those ordinary facts make Meghan Markle an extraordinary bride for an English prince. In fact, Meghan Markle is special. She is born under the sign of special, Leo, and all Leos are kings and queens in their own realms. And this one also has her North […]

Astrology of Now: The Beautiful Moon

by Christina • December 4, 2017

“And that’s why I have to go back to so many places there to find myself and constantly examine myself with no witness but the moon and then whistle with joy, ambling over rocks and clods of earth, with no task but to live, with no family but the road.” From The Wind in The End of the World by Pablo Neruda, the most lunar poet of them all, born on the New Moon in Cancer. I hope you saw the beautiful Moon last night, luminous and magical from dusk to dawn. Moon 11° Gemini, Sun 11° Sagittarius, Jupiter 11° […]

December Horoscopes

by Christina • December 1, 2017

It’s really quite a month for every one of us, as Saturn, the Dweller on the Threshold, changes signs for the first time since 2015. This is a more than usually momentous shift as the old devil is coming back to Capricorn, his own sign for the first time since the 1990s. Oh and there’s the Winter Solstice and a Mercury Retrograde…. It’s all adding up to quite a holiday season. I hope you have had your horoscope straight to your in-box. If not follow these links. These should take you to the subscription page if you are not already […]

Maimonides’ Letter On Astrology

by Christina • November 22, 2017

“Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.” — Maimonides Rabbi Moses, son of Maimon, was without much argument, one of the greatest philosophers of the Middle Ages. Not only was he revered in his own time for the brilliance of his logic, he was widely read across the Arab world and in Europe through the following centuries. His ideas created an intellectual bridge between Aristotle and the so-called “Age of Reason”, between rationalism and Talmudic tradition. At the […]

Astrology of Now: Power Transfers

by Christina • November 20, 2017

Today is quite tricky astrologically — and possibly downright dangerous. The two warriors — fierce Mars and unscrupulous Pluto are squaring off against each other exactly. This is reflected uncannily in the situation in Zimbabwe where Marsy Emmerson Mnangagwa, known as “the Crocodile”, is trying to force Plutonic (he just goes on and on, every time you think he’s about to die he rises again) Robert Mugabe. Like, Mars and Pluto, these two men were for a time “co-rulers”: president and vice president. This is a fight between old men. Mnangagwa is 75; Mugabe is 93 and, judging by his most recent […]

Rick Levine on Jupiter in Scorpio

by Christina • November 20, 2017

Although this is the forecast for November (and we’re more than half way through), this is worth watching because Rick makes some interesting observations on Jupiter in Scorpio, and what it means.

In Vogue: Jupiter-Venus Conjunction Today

by Christina • November 13, 2017

There’s a lucky conjunction at 7° Scorpio between lovely Venus and munificent Jupiter. You might want to choose to spin the wheel of fortune, or just indulge in some beauty. To help you with the latter. I’ve excavated some old pictures from British Vogue (December, 2010). How well do you think they captured the signs? I think some are lovely and original, and others are way off mark: for example, Aquarius is not a water sign — and Sagittarius is a fire sign! I love dramatic Taurus, Cancer as a hermit crab, earthy Virgo and Scorpio as a phoenix/scorpion. As […]

Priti Patel: Boom and Bust

by Christina • November 8, 2017

In this era of crazy behaviour by politicians, when white is orange, and green is encyclopedia, the behaviour of British Minister for International Development Priti Patel still seems outré. This summer, the minister took a “holiday” in Israel — during which she had more than 10 unauthorised meetings with top Israeli officials including Bibi himself. She forgot to bring along anyone from the Foreign Office, and she forgot to take notes, and she forgot that Britain does not recognise the annexation of the Golan Heights. She also forgot to tell anyone else in government about her freelance expedition to the […]
