Zenobia And The Temple of Bel

by Christina • September 11, 2015

The warrior queen Zenobia passed under that Zodiac dozens, maybe hundreds, of times. By the start of her reign in the 3rd century BC, the Temple of Bel in Palmyra was already 200 years old. Its fabulous portico with the seven planets personified, surrounded by the signs of the Zodiac, would have been a familiar part of the sacred furniture of the the queen’s great desert city. Subsequent generations of travellers to the Middle East crossed the desert to visit Zenobia’s city, inspired by the legend of the warrior queen and rumours of the romance of the ruins. Isobel Burton, writing in the 1870s, […]

The Glory and the Dying of the Light: Chiron/Sun

by Dawn Bodrogi • September 8, 2015

We find it easier to understand when Chiron hits any of the personal planets. The personal planets have to do with our functioning, have to do with our effectiveness, and we understand when Chiron places a chink in our armour. Chiron/Mercury, and our ability to move, articulate and/or take in ordinary information can […]

Refugees: Jupiter-Neptune In Action

by Christina • September 7, 2015

Last week, I did a talk at Aquarius Severn which included a short picture essay. I’ll show it to you here. Remember that Neptune and Jupiter, the planets that promote flow, meet across the mutable Virgo-Pisces axis once a century. Jupiter in Virgo, Neptune in Pisces — 1849 Jupiter in Pisces, Neptune in Virgo — 1939 Jupiter in Virgo, Neptune in Pisces — 2015

The Labour Party’s Misty Meltdown

by Christina • August 12, 2015

Of course it’s one thing to look at Jeremy Corbyn’s chart. He is clearly having a high old time, but we really ought to look at the chart of the Labour Party to get an idea of what’s going on. I asked my friend Liz, who is a fount of natal charts, what she had for the British Labour Party. Here’s what she said: “Nick Campion gives two: 27th Feb 1900 and 12th Feb 1906. Both noon in London. There are arguments for both; the later date is more the foundation of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the former is when […]

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 […]
