In the Key of Pisces: Adam Levine

Last year, we featured  a series of musicians born during the month of Pisces — one for each day, but there were just too many to fit in. Here is Adam Levine, another for our sweet-sounding Pisces male voice choir, that includes James Taylor, Chris Martin, Nat King Cole, George Harrison, Tom Chaplin and Kurt Cobain. Adam Levine’s smart, sexy band Maroon 5 have made a whole bunch of hits. This one shows off his voice well and that talented pattern connecting Venus (sugar) – Pluto (sex) – Neptune (music). And then there’s Tom Chaplin, Keane’s frontman and singer.

The Lonely Sun of Theresa May

Theresa May became Britain’s second woman Prime Minister last summer, because there was no alternative. The rest of them had done each other in. She was the last woman standing, and the country breathed a collective sigh of relief when she stepped into the breach. She seemed capable, calm, reliable — and strangely familiar. The latter not just because of a faint resemblance to the last female PM, Mrs Thatcher (another Libran with Saturn in Scorpio), but because she appeared to embody a kind of British everywoman: the vicar, the headteacher, the local librarian, memsahib, head girl, a good sort, a brick.

NATO and the Stationary Jupiter of Mr Trump

Trump Wants NATO Countries to Pay Up

by Jude Cowell

For a man who is known for not paying up, don’t you marvel when you hear Mr. Trump admonish NATO countries to pay up?

Well, here’s another question: is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, aka, NATO, too gray around the muzzle? Or is its multiple dissing by Mr. Trump meant to undermine the organization’s popularity (what little is left –

New Moon in Aries: What Do You Love?

The March 27th New Moon in Aries (7 degrees) conjoins Venus Rx in Aries (3 degrees). It’s obviously a bold new beginning, but it will have more significance than your average Aries New Moon, courtesy of the Venus cycle. 

Venus has phases, just like the Moon. As I described in this post , her conjunctions with the Sun mark New or Full phases. The last Sun/Venus conjunction took place on June 6th, 2016, at 16 degrees Gemini. This was her Full phase- a culmination. Her next conjunction will take place on March 25th, 2017, and it will be her New phase. – the start of a new cycle, and the end of what culminated around June 6th. It will also mark the halfway point of her current Rx transit. 

So March 25th will be a new beginning involving all the Venus Rx in Aries themes. There should be clarity and fresh passion, based on reviews/intensifications. This will be a turning point, and the New Moon can be seen as an extension of this. Really, March 25th to 27th is the fresh-start zone. Appropriately, Mercury in Aries will conjoin Uranus (23 degrees) on March 26th. This will be the message that slaps you into awareness, or shocks you with inspiration. It won’t be subtle or polite. 

Yes, it’s possible to have new beginnings during an Rx period. The actual issue (love, money, self-esteem, values) will not be brand new, but your approach will be. Or should be. This Moon/Venus Rx may expose new potential in something you’re revisiting. Maybe you give it one more shot, and this time…voilà. Or, you see what you really want in an existing situation. This is where you put yourself first (finally). 

The theme of this New Moon will be renewed passion. Reinvigorated love for life. Sure, it could be about your feelings for someone. But it could just as easily be your passion for your career, your art, your identity, your self-esteem. You’ll be realizing that____ is what really makes you happy. This is what you love. And that’s L-O-V-E. Not like, accept, settle for, tolerate. “It’s ok”is not going to cut it.
