Those overlooked goddesses! We should be talking a lot more about the impact of transits from the biggest asteroids — Juno, Vesta and Pallas. Note that I say Ceres is an asteroid, actually she’s classified as a “dwarf planet”, like Pluto. See what I mean overlooked — even I did it. Sorry Ceres. Anyway, this one’s about Juno.

Juno and the Axis of Desire
This year Juno, the asteroid named after the goddess of marriage and commitment, will be spending a long time in Taurus, a sign associated with passion, desire, obstinacy and obsession. Taurus is, of course, the opposite sign to Scorpio — also a sign known for obsession, obstinacy and lust. Together, these two, fixed earth and water, create a powerful axis of desire and ownership across the Zodiac. Taurus asks: “What do I want?” Scorpio replies: “I can give you what you desire, but you must pay the price.” These signs are associated with sex and money, jealousy and enslavement. The […]

Jupiter, Having Drunk Deep…
Jupiter, the King of the Gods, a roisterer, has spent many months now in the cool, clammy depths of Scorpio. He has drunken deep of the dark wine kept here in the cool caves. Jupiter has opened the doors wide to the land of the dead — perhaps — and now what…? When he is in this water sign, Jupiter likes to drink — and some of us may have chosen even to drink the drink of oblivion during this retrograde. There have been some unlikely high-profile suicides — Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade… But for some, Jupiter’s retrograde in Scorpio […]

Juno in the Garden (Part One)
“Th’ whole world’s in a terrible state o’ chassis” Captain Boyle in Juno and the Paycock In Sean O’Casey’s play, Juno and the Paycock, Juno Boyle is the matriarch of a broken family. While her children are wrecked and her husband is a wastrel, she carries on providing, protecting and planning. The roles of the divine Juno — hugely popular among the Romans — are notoriously multifarious, but perhaps not so dissimilar from her Irish namesake. She was protector of the community, matrons, demobbed soldiers, and newborn babies. She was a goddess of childbirth and marriage, civic order; spear-bearer, consort, […]

Astrology of Now: A Precise Harmony in the Midst of Tension
It occurs to me — having watched this video — that in most of the world houses are still made of mud, or a derivative thereof such as brick. Indeed, a brick combines earth, air, fire and water! For more on Juno and Jupiter, click here.

Hillary Clinton, Dragon-Slayer
This American election is an archetypal battle, the stuff of fairytale or legend. The two sides line up, accusing each other of hatred, lying and lasciviousness; of baseness, vileness, bestiality. In their vagueness sometimes, the smears require a leap of imagination from the public. What’s the worst thing you can think of? The words are Biblical, the accusations are of immorality. The candidates are speaking of a seething abyss of sin. It is extraordinary. Although this language has been used for a while by the right wing of the Republican Party, now it has irrupted into the mainstream. And in Donald Trump, the Republicans […]
