The Shooting of Philando Castile

by Christina • July 8, 2016

Diamond Reynolds live-streamed the immediate aftermath of her boyfriend’s murder by a police officer in St Paul, Minnesota on Wednesday. Her powerful testimony during the filming, and at an impromptu press conference the following day is so compelling, so passionate, so pure. If words can change the course of events, these ones will. “I want justice. I want peace.” There are moments, rarely captured on film, when the gods speak through one person. One of those moments was surely yesterday, and that person was Diamond Reynolds. She was anguished about the death of her beloved, but she was speaking for something much, […]

Muhammad Ali: Leo Rising

by Christina • June 7, 2016

Self-named, self-invented, self-motivated, champion boxer Muhammad Ali was a modern embodiment of the archetype of hero. He was charismatic, strong, graceful, poetic in speech, courageous in deed. He spoke up for the millions and laughed at the powerful. He took his punishment squarely and came back to defeat his enemies. He was brave and inventive. Here is Leo Rising: the sign of the king on the Ascendant. “It’s hard to be humble, when you’re as great as I am.” He was also playful, cheeky, brash and boastful and sometimes cruel as a child. Again Leo Rising. “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” So the […]

Astrology of Now: The Deep Blue Sea And A Hero’s Journey

by Christina • April 21, 2015

To travel from Eritrea or Gambia across the desert to the lower lid of the Mediterranean Sea — braving torture, slavery, asphyxia in the back of a truck, rape and beatings — to cross in an open boat: this is a hero’s journey. Imagine doing it as a child. So far this week more than 800 people have drowned in the Mediterranean, trying to reach Italy from Libya. More than a 100 of those were children. Pirates — or entrepreneurial seafarers, depending on who’s talking — operated from the so-called Barbary Coast –– North Africa from Morrocco to Algiers, Tripoli then Tunis — from the 15th to the 19th centuries.

Virgins, Black Power, African Liberation…

by Christina • October 2, 2014

The month of Virgo was beautiful here, one warm soft day follows another. But the weather was also strange and unseasonable. The nights draw in but the days are as warm as summer. It’s dreamlike. Being deep in the dream of Virgo this year — with the help of an opposition from Neptune in Pisces perhaps — I understood the sign in a new way*, and this, in turn has brought on some thoughts about our on-going aspect between Uranus and Pluto. Here’s a rather Neptunian train of thought. In ancient times, virgin was less a description of a woman’s sexual experience than a description of her social status. When […]
