Kanye West was hospitalized yesterday after an erratic onstage rant that led to his walking offstage and canceling the rest of his tour appearances.

Sorry, Folks, I don’t know what happened, but everything from July to October that appeared on this site has been eaten. Simply disappeared, and no record I can see. I’ll be working on it. In the meantime, I hope everything else is still intact. All well and good that it wasn’t a time I […]
Hot-metal printing was finally killed off in the mid-1980s. Its demise had been a long time coming, as it was superseded by other cleaner, faster, cheaper technologies. London’s print unions were some of the last in the world to hold out, in the Wapping Dispute with Rupert Murdoch’s News International. When they caved in February 1987, it was the end. Imagine though, a composing room, in 1983 or even 1883. Lead type melts, is moulded, banged into place on the composing stones with wooden mallets by the compositor. On one side of the stone, the compositor; on the other, the editor: jobs strictly delineated. Editors […]

But this year, due to retrograde, she will be spending an unusually long time in Aries and the early degrees of Taurus. Ceres turned retrograde on August 31 at 5° Taurus and she retreats into Aries on October 13. Ceres is about the same size as Pluto. Although her influence has been widely ignored by the astrological establishment — even though the asteroids were discovered over 100 years earlier than Pluto […]

My colleague Rollan McCleary sent me this email last week, which I thought I’d share with you. This is especially for those of you interested in asteroids. “I will paste below a small piece I put out on the American Noel Tyl site and called Picture of a Modern Martyrdom.

Earlier this year I put the Planetary Illuminations report on hiatus. I had been undergoing a Big Uranus Transit and re-evaluating how I wanted to spend my energy. I always knew I would revive this monthly report – after 25 years it’s in my blood. However, I am making some changes. I won’t be posting the report […]

I received this in my email today: I should think that every published astrologer would be writing about a time when all of these horrid transits and conjunctions will end. Or will they ever? Yet, I have scoured The Mountain Astrologer, online astro sites and subscribe to anyone who might talk about such events. It’s […]
