Astrology of Now: Countering The Ugly

by  • 

February is a fast and urgent month with Mars, Venus and Uranus in fiery, furious Aries. Mars in his own sign is rather unbridled, Venus in her opposite sign is not doing her usual harmony, sweetness and light thing and Uranus is spitting sparks. Somewhere in your life there’s probably a bit of a turmoil or drama. But frankly, this whole past 12-month has proved to be a challenge for those of us with tree-hugging, peace-loving, rose-tinted spectacle wearing tendencies. There’s a lot of ugly out there. But astrology does offer us some ideas of how to handle the rough stuff. Jupiter, the planet […]

February Horoscopes

by  • 

As you might expect February is roaring in, breathing fire and brimstone. Mars, the planet of war, aggression and action, is in his own sign Aries — and he seems to be in fighting mode. He’ll be arguing with Pluto and then running slap into electrical Uranus on February 27. This is not a good day to jump into your jalopy and hit the road, by the way. It looks like something is going to blow. This combustible atmosphere starts right from the beginning of the month and just builds. The last 10 days are especially fraught. Meanwhile, Venus is also in […]

A Cosmic Day of Back-to-Back Talks

by  • 

This is just a reminder that on Saturday I’ll be giving a talk in Trinity College, Oxford entitled How the @£@$*(^* Did We Get Here and participating in a panel discussion about the year ahead. There are four other excellent speakers on the day, including Anton D’Abreu (from Cycles of History on Transits), Israel Ajose (on Earth Houses), Pamela Armstrong (on Feminism) and Louise Hutson (on Renaissance astrologer William Lilly). It’s quite a packed schedule. The Oxford Astrology Group would like to encourage as many people to come as possible, so even if your knowledge of astrology is tenuous, come along for […]

Looking backward to look ahead

by  • 

The Romans celebrated the first day of the year as a festival to Janus, their god of gates, doors, beginnings and endings. They named the month of January after him, and portrayed him with two faces: one looking back and one looking forward. Janus presided over transition from past to future, the passage from childhood […]

Just A Little Broken: RIP George Michael

by  • 

Fragile, strong, sweet, sharp — a little broken. George Michael was a superstar with a seemingly boundless musical gift, but it was his vulnerability that made him special. Something, somewhere, had been cracked (one felt), and, like a “golden repair” on a Japanese pot, it made George Michael beautiful. Michael’s soul seeped out gradually into his stage persona. At first, he just seemed like a pretty, talented teenager eager to have fun and make money with his schoolfriend. But then there was Careless Whisper: we heard that sweet, strong voice deliver the wistful, hurting lyrics, and it was clear his talent was bigger than Wham! This is such a sensitive […]

A Street Called Hope

by  • 

The shortest day of the year unfolded, unintentionally, as a meditation on our connection to God via a city break in Liverpool. In the morning, we went to the great hulking Anglican cathedral — which lours over the city from a high point overlooking the River Mersey and the Irish Sea. The longest cathedral in the world looks more like a power station than a house of god from the outside. Over the entrance, there’s a sculpture by Elizabeth Frink: a thick-limbed, stolid, “human” Christ. Inside its massy walls, the force of a kind of muscular Christianity is astonishingly real. Designed at the height of British […]
