The Real Thing

Saturn retrograde until 2/8/15 It is often said that planets become more emphasised when they are retrograde ie appear to be going backwards from the perspective of us here on Earth. Personally, I find that simply terrifying when it comes to…

Saturn in Sagittarius: Part One

As Saturn, the reaper, slows to a halt before turning retrograde in mid-March, let’s pause to reflect what the transit of this great planet through the sign of the centaur means. In this post, I’ll look briefly at the past Saturn in Sag period to give us a handle on this one. Then in later posts will delve deeper into the psychological and the personal, including Saturn Returns and the Seven-and-a-half.

Mark Rylance: Being Saturn

Lush with satin and velvet, beautifully lit by candles and England’s cool northern daylight, the TV adaptation of Wolf Hall is as enthralling as the book. At the centre of the bedizened, voluptuous court of Henry VIII, there is a still, dark point, Thomas Cromwell. For more on the story and why — astrologically speaking — it has had such an impact on the collective imagination, read my piece about the novel here. Mark Rylance is mesmerising as Cromwell — still, watchful, intelligent. Of course, he is beautifully directed, and supported by an outstanding cast, notably Damian Lewis as the king (epitomsing Cancer Sun/Aries Moon), and Clare […]
