Taurus New Moon: Sexing The Garden

The gardens froth blossom. Petals flake the lawns. Now the very first bud of apple and pear swell. The birds peck green cherries. It’s Taurus’ month and Eden. Taurus’ partner across the Zodiac, Scorpio, sometimes signified by the snake. This New Moon is free and easy, not overtly aspected, except that it takes place on the fixed star of snake-haired Medusa, Algol. Medusa is the monster, once priestess of Athena, raped in the temple by the god of the sea Poseidon and punished for that violation by an eternity of horror. Her gaze turns living flesh to stone. Think about […]

Beheading

Not only was the news this morning sad, it was troubling, horrifying, grotesque, macabre — satanic even. I’m referring to the murder of the American hostage Abdul-Rahman Kassig and 18 unnamed Syrian troops by Islamic State. All were gruesomely killed for the camera, and the video was posted on-line.

Taurus Decan 3

Taurus decan 3 is ruled by Saturn. The sun twists and turns through the constellations of the Ram, the River, Perseus the hero, Queen Cassiopeia, Medusa’s head and some of the Pleiades from May 11 to 20. It is appropriate that the dark lord of time Saturn rules this decan since it houses the infamous star Algol. This part of Taurus houses bohemians and temperamental, artistic types. Decan 3 bovines are probably less set in their ways than the classic Taurus because of the influence of our dashing hero Perseus. They can be daring, but are still very much fixed in their determination to pursue their dream. Taurus decan 3 are extremely chivalrous, they have impeccable manners and a lot of class. Even the most low-down wretched expression of the breed will give off an aura of sophistication. Caught shamefully stumbling on the pavement after too much Algol-hol, they will still manage to wobble back onto their high hooves gracefully. Taurus decan 3 has great taste and appreciation of the aesthetic, managing to dress like a lord even if they can only afford to shop in charity shops. They are also incredibly thrifty like the rest of the sign and […]

SOTU Address Jan 25, 2011: Sun Aquarius-Moon Libra

It seems a bit early to locate the precise hour of President Obama’s State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress scheduled for the evening of January 25, 2011 or perhaps the time isn’t yet settled, but an early peek at two possible horoscopes for 8:00 pm est and 9:00 pm est on that evening in Washington DC shows Sun in Aquarius with a 29th-degree Moon in Libra in both charts.Moon
