What Astrologers Are Saying About Brexit

by  • 

On June 23, the people of United Kingdom will go to the polls to make the most important collective decision of a lifetime. Should we stay in the European Union or should we go? The decision taken now could change the country’s future absolutely — probably not in the ways predicted by any politician — and set our course for the coming decades. You could look at a whole host of charts for clues to the outcome of the referendum: the Aries Ingress, the opening of the polls, the closing of the polls, the official start of the campaign, the announcement of […]

The Panama Papers

by  • 

“I want these crimes to be made public”, leaker “John Doe” to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. It turns out that very rich people have been hiding their money in secret bank accounts abroad. Why do they feel the need to do this? Either a) because the money is stolen or b) because they are avoiding taxes. Let’s deal with b, which may initially appear less heinous. Look at it this way: through your taxes you pay to keep the streets safe, the police on the beat, the garbage collected, the army ready to defend you, the sick well and the poor fed — guess what, […]

Mercury retrograde and David Cameron – Steve Judd (video)

by  • 

Here is expert astrologer Steve Judd giving us a Mercury retrograde 2016 view from Britain:

~:~

A brief bio and a view of the natal horoscope of British PM David Cameron (of the tin ear!) shows his Sun @15Libra, Moon @6Leo, and Ascendant @1Libra, as Steve mentions. Interesting that Mr. Cameron has a Scorpio Mercury squaring Jupiter–one planet ruling communications and thinking processes

December Is A Battleground

by  • 

Last night, the UK Parliament voted in favour of bombing ISIS in Syria (10.16pm, December 2, London.). And in so doing they showed what democracy is about. There were passionate, well-argued speeches on both sides  — but not by either leader. Both Cameron and Corbyn seemed lightweight and political in comparison to Alec Salmond, David Davis and Caroline Lucas against the airstrikes, Margaret Beckett and Dan Jarvis for the strikes, and above all shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn, in favour of air-strikes and against his own leader’s position.  Benn put the government to shame, and made a coherent, impassioned moral case for intervention. In […]

Astrology of Now: Equinox, Public Humiliation and Mercury Rx

by  • 

I’m writing this just as the Sun approaches the celestial equator. It is the equinox, when night and day are perfectly balanced. We enter the sign of Libra today, which this year is already hosting Mercury’s retrograde. Libra is one of the four cardinal signs that open the seasons – Aries (spring), Cancer (summer), Libra (autumn) and Capricorn (winter), or the reverse if you are in the Southern hemisphere. Libra is the sign of balance, of equal measures, of the other, a contrast to the one-pointedness of its opposite Aries. Maybe it’s useful now to think about how the whole Zodiac balances and rebalances […]

UK Election: Breaking Up Is Never Easy

by  • 

What happened here last night was momentous: a seismic shift in the “political geology” of this country took place. Scotland, which just one year ago chose to stay part of the United Kingdom in a referendum,  voted almost unanimously for the Nationalist Party. As expected, leader Nicola Sturgeon’s Jupiter transit to her Midheaven was spectacularly decisive. All but three Scottish MP sitting in the House of Commons will be members of her party. For the benefit of American readers, it was as if, say, Texas voted in an entire congressional cohort that wanted independence for the state, or think of […]

UK Elections: Ed Miliband & A Brief Explanation of the System

by  • 

For readers outside the Britain, here’s a quick summary of the British general election campaign. Voting is on May 7 (tomorrow). For most of the last couple of hundred years, voting in Britain has boiled down to a choice between two parties. Since WW2, that choice has been between Labour and Conservative. Last election 2010, Conservatives were forced into a coalition with the centrist third party, the Liberal-Democrats, because no single party had enough votes for a majority in parliament. In this country, a general election means you vote for your local Member of Parliament who is 99% likely to a […]

Astrology of Now: Jupiter & Juno 2

by  • 

The rulers of Olympus, Jupiter and Juno will be exactly conjunct on May 17 at 14° Leo. This puts the royal couple in the royal sign together for the first time since 1966. But already they are just a few degrees apart. This is a very significant energy throughout May and into June that will affect all of us — especially if you have planets or points around those degrees in Fixed or Fire signs. All Fixed signs — Sun, Moon or Ascendant — ought to benefit. The king and queen only meet each other every eight years. Compare that […]

UK Election: Striking A Balance

by  • 

This surreally dreary British election campaign is apparently the closest-run in a generation. The opinion polls bounce back and forth between Labour and Conservative. From the public discourse, you might not suspect that there are serious issues to be resolved.  There’s little talk of security, the global economy, Britain’s future in a changing world, climate change or — perhaps most pressingly of all — inequality. There is much talk of opinion polls, spin doctors and politician’s spouses. Fluff. The rise in inequality in this country has been striking over the past 10-15 years, and it has accelerated dramatically over the last five: inequality between high-earners […]
