The Astrological Journal

I was thrilled that The Oxford Astrologer was the first website to be featured in The Astrological Journal’s new series about astrology on the web. You’ll be relieved to hear that the review was glowing, backing up your choice to read this blog! (I’ll type some excerpts when my wrist aches less.) For those of you who are not in the UK, it’s the premier magazine for astrologers here, the equivalent to The Mountain Astrologer in the US. It’s published by the Astrological Association. This month’s issue has already caused a bit of a kerfuffle. The AJ interview with Member of […]

Updates Due this Week

Updates for the Inner Wheel will be posted this week.  It has been a crazy winter, with the alchemy course taking off like wildfire and providing some exciting and unexpected results.  We haven’t discovered gold yet, but we’re getting there. For those who are waiting for Off the Cuff readings, I’m afraid an illness prevented […]

Get Your Mars In Pisces Grooving

Both Mars, the planet of action, an Venus, the planet of love, are currently in Pisces, the sign of Venus’ exaltation. When the lovers of the Zodiac meet — once a year or so — sparks fly. The lovers won’t meet up precisely until they both move into Aries later this month (when Mars gets on top), but they are close enough for kissing already. Mars is mellows out in Pisces for a week or so more. Pisces is, of course, a visual sign, so let these pictures of folk born with Mars in Pisces set you dreaming and believing. Dreaming […]

Yanis Varoufakis

For those of you curious to see the chart of Greece’s new finance minister, here it is. There is no birth time available, so I have drawn it for sunrise. Just briefly • Take a look at the nodes. SN conjunct Mercury in Pisces. (Wonder if there’s an ancestor in holy orders.). Brains run in the family. NN conjunct Pluto. He’s going to slay people with the power of his mind. But that’s a dangerous path. Lilith was at 6° Virgo when he got his new job. This axis is quite solution oriented. Both Pisces and Virgo are drawn to problems and how […]

Mercury Retrograde: Live The Question

“I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart, and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.” Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters To A Young Poet tr HD Herter Norton […]

Randy Andy

HRH Prince Andrew has dodgy taste when it comes to friendship. Right now he must really be regretting the day Ghislaine Maxwell introduced him to billionaire child molester Jeffrey Epstein. Now he finds himself embroiled in a distasteful scandal. One current transit to his chart illustrates just how dangerous so-called beneficial planets can be.   Andrew has Leo rising, appropriately for Prince of the royal blood. So he is currently having a Jupiter transit to the ascendant. Good, one might think, the “greater benefic” coming to play.  In fact it’s absolutely ghastly, exposing the private man to the public gaze. Furthermore Jupiter is currently […]

Mercury retrograde at the Aquarius New Moon, January 2015

Mercury turns retrograde on January 21st where it will encourage us to look back rather than forwards and see where we need to reflect, retreat, relax, or revise.  Mercury of course rules the mind and the way we communicate with others and generally process information, including the vehicles for that communication such as our technological devices and […]

Angela Merkel: The She-Chancellor

Angela Merkel, Germany’s Kanzlerin or she-chancelllor, is indisputably the most powerful woman in the world. And yet she seems so wildly unlike most politicians – where are the flashy smile, the clotheshorse spouse, the sharp suit, the soundbite? Yes, where are Silvio Berlusconi, Nicolas Sarkozy, Jose Luis Zapatero, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown…? Sacked by the electorate. Every other European leader has been replaced since the banking crisis started in 2007; only Angela Merkel, the “grey mouse” from East Germany, has not just survived but thrived in these tough times. Clearly, her appeal to (at least half of) the German electorate is profound. And […]
