The New Horizons Mission to Pluto

by Christina • July 18, 2015

It’s quite catching: the excitement of all those NASA boffins. The success of the New Horizons mission to Pluto is wonderful. The images bring the planet so close, show the importance of his henchman Charon, the dark planet’s “heart”, and his handsome craggy features. The astrology? Well, this mid-month we’ve been having a pretty tough opposition from Mars-Mercury to Pluto. On the day of the closest approach, July 14, the dynamic duo were sandwiched between the Sun and the Moon, all in watery and imaginative Cancer. Now Cancer is the sign of home and tribe, so you could see this […]

Progressions: Making Progress

by April • June 30, 2015

It’s the rare person who really changes much, at a core level. We all do change a little – but it’s not the transits we face that tell that story. It’s the secondary progressions that demonstrate whether or not we are evolving, reaching for our full potential, and making real progress.

Astrology of Now: Narrative/Counter-Narrative

by Christina • June 18, 2015

Three married sisters from Bradford — in their early thirties and with nine children between them — have run away to join ISIS in Syria. The British media has twisted itself into a pretzel trying to fit this story into a palatable narrative. The women were “brainwashed”, “radicalised”, “duped” even. The husbands, left behind, are “very emotional”, “bewildered”. The community is “shocked”. They were a “quiet” family. Apparently, the authorities are at fault for “failing to stop the women” and not helping the families track them down. The words used have become familiar: the community is always shocked, no one […]

Movies: Before…

by Christina • June 9, 2015

Spoiler alert. If you haven’t seen Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, read no more. Jesse wears a manky greyish T-shirt with the word Neptune written across the body of a blue whale for about half the movie Before Midnight. Considering he’s an acclaimed writer of big, fat, sexy — yet high-brow — love stories, it’s a good choice. Neptune is the planet of art, illusion and imagination. It’s the planet of movie-making, gossamer and art. Jesse is the romantic American blue-eyed dreamer, whom we first met back in 1995 on a train to Vienna, when he was younger, […]

Taurus New Moon: Sexing The Garden

by Christina • May 17, 2015

The gardens froth blossom. Petals flake the lawns. Now the very first bud of apple and pear swell. The birds peck green cherries. It’s Taurus’ month and Eden. Taurus’ partner across the Zodiac, Scorpio, sometimes signified by the snake. This New Moon is free and easy, not overtly aspected, except that it takes place on the fixed star of snake-haired Medusa, Algol. Medusa is the monster, once priestess of Athena, raped in the temple by the god of the sea Poseidon and punished for that violation by an eternity of horror. Her gaze turns living flesh to stone. Think about […]

12 Questions To Ask With Mercury Rx in Gemini

by Christina • May 10, 2015

The little god of prestidigitation is standing perfectly still. For a moment in time, he looks both ways: into the future and into the past. Then he starts to go backwards. Think of how odd it looks in a movie when the broken glass and water on the floor magically swooshes up and reforms. The film is running backwards. Mercury in Gemini 30 April – July 8 Mercury Rx 18 May – June 11 Mercury shadow 1 May – 27 June During a Mercury Rx, that glass might reform as a balloon or a jet engine: things won’t just go […]

UK Elections: Ed Miliband & A Brief Explanation of the System

by Christina • May 6, 2015

For readers outside the Britain, here’s a quick summary of the British general election campaign. Voting is on May 7 (tomorrow). For most of the last couple of hundred years, voting in Britain has boiled down to a choice between two parties. Since WW2, that choice has been between Labour and Conservative. Last election 2010, Conservatives were forced into a coalition with the centrist third party, the Liberal-Democrats, because no single party had enough votes for a majority in parliament. In this country, a general election means you vote for your local Member of Parliament who is 99% likely to a […]

Astrology of Now: Juno & Jupiter

by Christina • May 3, 2015

Zeus & Hera were the ruling couple on Mount Olympus, but they weren’t always the happiest pair. Their rows were, naturally, epic — and caused all kinds of problems for us humans crawling around on Gaia’s skin. Those Greek myths, at least the ones we still know, focus on Hera as a jealous wife — and no wonder, Zeus had a deal of trouble keeping his chiton down. However, when Zeus and Hera were taken up by the Romans, Hera got a major promotion. Her duties and powers multiplied. As Juno, she became the protector of the Roman State itself, […]
