#RingofFireRadio #Campaign2016 #Conservatives #Republicans #GOP = Grand Old Paranoids? Well, #Neptune sneaking through its own sign of #Pisces = increased paranoia for the vulnerable and emotionally unstable. So, dear reader, don’t be vulnerable in case their mental issues are catching!

Astrology of Now: Magic Is Real
The Sun, which brings light to us, and Neptune, lord of mystic revelation, are conjunct this week. Magic is all around us, especially if we know how to look. To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. – William Blake, Auguries of Innocence (extract)

Bitter Lake
Adam Curtis’ extraordinary and beautiful documentary, Bitter Lake, mesmerises. Archival footage from the BBC, overlaid with a textured, eclectic soundscape creates an experience that leaves you breathless, wondering at the new world order that you sense, and at a new art form for the internet age. Ostensibly, Bitter Lake is a partial explanation of how the West wildly misunderstood Afghanistan. There are, as you might expect, an authoritative sounding voice over, subtitles and clips of world leaders shaking hands and soldiers fighting. But instead of delivering a load of facts to chew over, like most documentaries, Bitter Lake leaves you with a set of […]

Five Things To Do in 2015
Happy New Year! I hope the holiday season was a pleasant one for you. As of today we are into the swing of the new year: already the bulbs at the end of the dining table — paper whites and hyacinths — have bloomed and their sharp green leaves are an augury of spring; my youngest went to school this morning with her apple polished and (most of) her homework done; and D (Jupiter in Pisces) has bought himself two pairs of shoes in the sales. So it really is time to think of the year ahead, and leave behind what we can’t fix […]

Neptune At The Movies
It’s Boxing Day, a perfect day for slothing on the sofa and succumbing to the magic world of the movies. I’ve noted before that I think this period of Neptune in Pisces (2011-2024) should be great for the moving image. One thing that’s already clear is that we’re going through a wonderful period for TV drama. Now that we watch episodes back to back, we’re diving right into that ocean of imagination in just the way our ancestors immersed themselves in those huge novels back in the 1850s, last time Neptune was in Pisces. In this country at any rate, something else […]

Neptune: To Dive or To Surf?
The Sea Before dreams (or terror) invented mythologies and cosmogonies, before time was parceled into days, the sea, the eternal sea, was already here. Who is the sea? Who is that violent and ancient being that gnaws at the pillars of the earth and is one and many seas and abyss and brilliancy and chance and wind? To gaze at it is to gaze for the first time, always. With the wonder produced by elemental things, the beautiful evenings, the moon, the fire of a brazier. Who is the sea, who am I? I shall know this on the day […]

Movies: Gravity
Gravity opens with the longest, loveliest view of our pearlescent planet, so large and luminous — and behind it black space. The Earth is our home, our heart, our mother — but what happens when we cut the cord that ties us to her?(Spoiler alert. Pret…
Spiritualism, Plague and Astrology
As you know, astrology works through metaphor and imagery. You arrive at an understanding of a sign or a planet elliptically, and a story unfolds through the multiple elements weaving together. But all combinations have the potential to tell different …
