Astrology of Now: The Whole of the Moon

by  • 

“I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hands I had flashes but you saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years while you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon” The Waterboys We have all known that person who reaches too high, too far, too soon. Maybe you were that person. Maybe you are that person. The Moon in Aquarius will be slightly eclipsed today at 20.35 BST. You’ll be able to see this if you are in Europe. It’s like a […]

May 28, 2017: Laughingstock-in-Chief Returns to DC

by  • 

His Arabian-European roadshow ended, Donald Trump returns to Washington DC tomorrow, Sunday May 28, 2017 as multiple publications across Europe and at home call him a laughingstock who should be impeached.

Astrologically, might we fault transit Saturn now adversely affecting Mr. Trump’s Sun-NN/Moon-SN opposition? How about the natal indiscreet Mercury-Neptune square that blabs intel,

France Saves Her Soul

by  • 

You didn’t have to be an astrologer to predict the victory of centrist Emmanuel Macron in today’s French election — he was a clear 20 point ahead in the polls. Still it’s a relief, since Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right nationalists, also had excellent transits. But astrology can tell us something about the energies at work — and flag up a warning. Marine Le Pen lost this stage of the war, but she’s not going anywhere soon. Emmanuel Macron, standing as an independent at the head of a movement he started just a year ago, defeated not only […]

The State We’re In

by  • 

“Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce. The productive forces at the disposal of society no longer tend to further the development of the conditions of bourgeois property; on the contrary, they have become too powerful for these conditions. […] And how does the bourgeoisie get over these […]

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 European Union Chart: A Tough Summer

by  • 

I wrote to my friend Anton D’Abreu recently pointing out that the chart for the European Union was under a great deal of pressure during this Mars transit. Later this summer, Mars will station direct at 23° Scorpio nearly conjunct the EU Mars-Pluto conjunction. The Mars-Pluto conjunction exactly opposes the natal Moon in Taurus, which surely represents the stalwart citizens of Europe. That configuration has always seemed uncomfortably like a sign of power concentrated in the hands of the few against the many. Anton pointed out that the thing happening in the midst of this Mars Rx is the British referendum (June 23) […]

Divided By Pluto: Gemini through Leo

by  • 

The movement of the outer planets, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, is generational. In particular, Pluto’s movement is slow enough — it takes about 15 years to get through a sign — to give us a wide cohort. Pluto tells us what is powerful, what is transformed, what is lost. It’s interesting to look at the time when a particular Pluto generation comes of age, and then again when that generation comes to power. These are not necessarily at the same point. For example, the Baby Boomers (Pluto in Leo) came of age in the 1960s and 1970s but they came […]

Boxing The Euro

by  • 

Keen readers of this blog will know I’ve been tracking the euro for years, as Uranus, Pluto and Saturn pummelled the currency from various angles. It’s been like watching a boxing match with all the razzmatazz, wordplay, and brutality, as well as cigar-wielding managers and backers sitting in the front row, waiting to see who hits the ropes first. One of the boxers has been the euro, a shiny fresh-faced currency; his opponent has been a shadowy, shapeshifter, a character brought to life by the energies of the outer planets, donning different masks over the last four years: Anonymous, Varoufakis, […]

Playing Games With The Euro

by  • 

“Rarely in modern times have we witnessed such a display of petulance and bad judgment by those supposed to be in charge of global financial stability, and by those who set the tone for the Western world. The spectacle is astonishing. The European Central Bank, the EMU bail-out fund, and the International Monetary Fund, among others, are lashing out in fury against an elected government that refuses to do what it is told. They entirely duck their own responsibility for five years of policy blunders that have led to this impasse.” — Ambrose Evans-Pritchard writing in The Daily Telegraph (To […]
