Before long we shall have little option but to discuss the Inauguration 2017 horoscope. However, before we do, here’s a list of the 2017 Oath of Office midpoint pictures with a few potentials for their manifestation added, plus, brief notes on the Sun-Moon traits of the day (January 20, 2017 12:00 pm est Capitol Building, DC).
The midpoints of planetary energies blended together "unleash" the
Moon trine or sextile Neptune must be one of the most romantic, poetic, idol-making aspect one can have. Its not surprising that there are a few matinee idols listed below then. The unreality and glamour of film lends itself so well to the Moon and Neptune. The soft aspects make the Moon even more fantastical, […]

James Taylor’s soft, reedy baritone is so sweet and his melody-weaving so certain, his lyrics so perfectly distilled and his phrasing so effortless — he truly was blessed by the gods of music and song. Indeed, his first album, which included classics like Carolina in My Mind and Rainy Day Man was cut when he was just 20 in 1968: his most recent, just last year. But like Orpheus, Taylor had to pay a price for his talent. Taylor had real demons to contend with including wobbly mental health as a teenager (he committed himself several times) and subsequently years of heroin addiction. Making music probably saved him; once his […]

The composer, Maurice Ravel, was born on March 7, 1875 into a musical family in the town of Ciboure, where the River Nivelle meets the Atlantic Ocean in the Basque country. (We are catching up with some missed dates for In The Key Of Pisces…) He was an innovator and a rebel. Rejected by the establishement in his youth, by the time of his death, he was acknowledged to be France’s greatest living composer. You might expect that with Uranus on the Midheaven. He was also an experimenter. Bolero, one of his most famous compositions, is all about repetition — a rather Piscean […]

As you probably already know, the 27 Club is a term for all those singers who died too young, at the age of 27. The list is long and it includes, off the top of my head, Amy Winehouse, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin. In fact there is something important that happens astrologically for everyone at 27. It’s the Progressed Lunar Return. This is a 27-year cycle that astrologers use to prognosticate. The Moon is “progressed” through the chart, spending two and a half years in each sign. By the age of 27, an individual has lived a complete progressed lunar […]

How appropriate in a week when we are playing Bowie back to back with Motorhead. The Oxford Astrology Group is hosting another set of lectures at Trinity College, Oxford on February 13. The subject looks fun: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Neptune’s going to come into that, I believe. There are three speakers — Teresa Moorey, John Green and John Etherington: each taking on one aspect of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. There will be a panel discussion at the end of the day. I expect the recent passing of Bowie and Lemmy will come up. Previous events with Lynn Bell, Bernadette Brady, Dick Van Der […]

Many thanks to my FB friend Sara Jayara for cluing me in to the fact that there is a possible known birth hour for Senator Bernie Sanders based on a glimpse of a natal chart done for him years ago by a girlfriend.
If fixed Scorpio is indeed rising, his rigidity of purpose concerning Scorpionic issues (corporations, big business, money including hidden funds, taxes, surveillance, etc) through the
We are in the midst of the first Saturn-Neptune square and I can feel it. Sometimes it’s like walking on quicksand, at others like being on a rolling ship, tossed around by the storm. Neptune conjures up the image of…
This is a good news story, so bear with me and see where it leads. Victims of the condition variously labelled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Myalgic Encephalitis (ME) are used to being disbelieved, disrespected, and ignored. They know about being labelled liars, shirkers, fantasists. That’s on top of being terribly ill — racked with pain and migraines, unable to absorb nutrition, unable to bear noise or light, unable to get out of bed, yet never refreshed from sleep. You can die of M.E.; you can, mysteriously, recover completely; or you can live with it for decades. There is no test […]
