My good friend Andrea Soole and I discuss the planetary set up for Aries month, Obama’s historic trip to Cuba and hair — or lack thereof. We are still working through some technical stuff, but I hope you enjoy this podcast. You can find Andrea at andreasoole.com.

I started writing about Pluto generations with the intention of keeping these summaries short and letting the pictures tell part of the story. These were meant to be ready references to spark off ideas. Then the subject ballooned out of control, and I had to stop for a bit. Now I’ve cut back and again and decided to publish these summaries and return to writing about the generations in greater detail later. Just to reiterate. There are a couple of interesting periods to look for each generation: when they come of age in their 20s and when they come to […]

Just a quick note here, but sometimes you just couldn’t make the astrology up: it’s so simple. US President Barack Obama is visiting Kenya the birthplace of his father for the first time in his presidency. The astrology? Saturn, the planet associated with the father (along with the Sun) is on the president’s Midheaven at 28° Scorpio. Obama is honouring his dead father. He is also stepping into his father’s shoes in some sense. This visit is not just some courtesy call, but an acceptance of his African legacy and of a deep responsibility. This Saturn is at the highest […]

The rulers of Olympus, Jupiter and Juno will be exactly conjunct on May 17 at 14° Leo. This puts the royal couple in the royal sign together for the first time since 1966. But already they are just a few degrees apart. This is a very significant energy throughout May and into June that will affect all of us — especially if you have planets or points around those degrees in Fixed or Fire signs. All Fixed signs — Sun, Moon or Ascendant — ought to benefit. The king and queen only meet each other every eight years. Compare that […]

Zeus & Hera were the ruling couple on Mount Olympus, but they weren’t always the happiest pair. Their rows were, naturally, epic — and caused all kinds of problems for us humans crawling around on Gaia’s skin. Those Greek myths, at least the ones we still know, focus on Hera as a jealous wife — and no wonder, Zeus had a deal of trouble keeping his chiton down. However, when Zeus and Hera were taken up by the Romans, Hera got a major promotion. Her duties and powers multiplied. As Juno, she became the protector of the Roman State itself, […]

Walk into Libra’s garden, the seventh house of the chart, and you will find yourself in a bower of sweet scented roses, treading on forget-me-nots, violas, love-in-the-mist. You might stroll down a lover’s walk through dripping wisteria to a summerhouse by a romantic lake. The seventh house is where you meet your match. But oh, we know our match is not always what we expected or wanted. It turns out to be not a lover, but an adversary, a rival, a competitor. This is the garden of partnership, but it is also called the house of “open enemies” — a delicious irony and a delicate insight into the […]

Looking at a horoscope set for Washington DC of the March 30, 2014 New Moon @9Ari58 we find the lunation of new beginnings squared by the Jupiter-Pluto opposition and about to conjoin, each in turn, quirky radical Uranus @12Ari19 (a critical degree).

February 7, 2014: US Debt Limit Reached, Says Treasury Secretary Lew
by Jude Cowell
See US teeters towards debt default, cash could run dry by end of Feb for Treasury Secretary Lew’s warning and his plea to Congress to act quickly to renew the legal $16.7 trillion debt cap so America can pay bills that Congress has already racked up.
Will Republicans listen to Lew’s warning or does ‘
The US government often uses the lame excuse of "unintended consequences" for its actions but it turns out that the phenomenon can work against them, too. The following interview, uploaded months ago in an ill-fated attempt by the NSA to ‘clear its reputation’, has backfired on the nosy agency and garnered it a Most Hated Video of 2013 label. Watch or re-watch it in all its shabby lameness if you
