A Glimmer Of Hope

by  • 

This is a good news story, so bear with me and see where it leads. Victims of the condition variously labelled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) are used to being disbelieved, disrespected, and ignored. They know about being labelled liars, shirkers, fantasists. That’s on top of being terribly ill — racked with pain and migraines, unable to absorb nutrition, unable to bear noise or light, unable to get out of bed, yet never refreshed from sleep. You can die of M.E.; you can, mysteriously, recover completely; or you can live with it for decades. There is no test […]

Astrology of Now: Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces

by  • 

With Jupiter’s move into Virgo this summer, and Saturn’s move into Sagittarius, we are seeing a shift of emphasis into the mutable signs. Neptune and Chiron, also both slow-moving, are already in Pisces. This creates a T-square pattern — at least by sign if not by exact degree. The strongest part of this pattern is a right-angle or square aspect between Saturn and Neptune. This becomes exact on November 26, and then in June and September next year. Meanwhile, Jupiter in Virgo will also square Saturn next spring. This means this T-square will never lock into an exact aspect, but Saturn […]

Tossed By The Waves, But Not Sunk

by  • 

The motto of the city of Paris is Fluctuat nec migrator. It’s on the coat of arms. It means something like “tossed but not sunk”. I have nothing useful to add to what has already been said about what happened on Friday night. But I will offer you the chart for the event, drawn up for 9.20pm Paris time. Astrologer Maurice Fernandez has pointed out that the Mars-Node conjunction, right on the IC in this chart, is significant in the 9/11 attack and the Norwegian attack too. You can see that Mars has just passed through the ecliptic which is […]

Astrology of Now: Ready To Catch The Wave

by  • 

Neptune goes direct November 18, 16.30GMT. 7’01 Pisces Salt water is sucked backwards over the shingle, and you are pulled over loose sand and pebbles. You can see the shore, but the wave drags you away. The energy is concentrated, focused in the belly of the wave. Then it seems to stand still and grow taller. A moment later it’s crashing, rushing forward to the beach with froth and roar. Neptune, the great god of the sea, has been quietly retrograde since June 12. He moves very slowly. He’s gone back all of two degrees. But this slowness has focused the […]

The Passion Of Modigliani

by  • 

Yesterday this painting was sold to Chinese billionaire Liu Yiqian for $170m. Think about that for a moment. One hundred and seventy million dollars. Extraordinary. Christie’s chose the right month in which to sell it, with the Sun in Scorpio, since the subject of this picture is passion. Sex in the midst of death: this is Scorpio’s realm. Jeanne Hébuterne, Amedeo Modigliani’s live-in lover, the mother of his child, and his muse, had Scorpio rising.  On her descendant, the angle of partnership, Venus and Mercury conjoin across fiery Aries and sensual Taurus. That Venus (in detriment!) is in the very final degree of Aries, so it has […]

National Geographic: Swallowed By A Great White Shark

by  • 

My grandparents had stacks of yellow-edged National Geographics in the basement of their house, some dating from the days before photographs were on the front cover. On rainy days in summer or awkward Christmas holidays, I escaped down there, opened those shiny covers and travelled the world. I guess it was like that for a lot of people. The magazine was like an old friend, something we took for granted. It would always be yellow, the pictures would always be great, and the world it told us about would always be awesome. Until last month the magazine was not for profit, which explains perhaps […]

Astrology of Now: Love Subdues Anger

“Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.” ― Jeanette Winterson, Venus and Mars in Virgo “The kiss itself is immortal.
