Kitchen Alchemist
When Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal wanted to check the best way to cook a really nifty pulse, allegedly he wrote a fan letter to Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking, the kitchen-nerd’s Bible. Harold McGee is the doyen of the science of cooking, from creating the perfect caramel to fermenting peas. He writes a great column for the New York Times, in which he tackles such knotty issues as how much water does pasta really need and how gross is it to share a dip? And he has a website called The Curious Cook, exploring the science of food and its transformations. Now from […]

Chart For Medecins Sans Frontieres
Further to our discussion on the previous post, here is the chart for MSF. There is no birth time although noon does work well, putting Jupiter on the MC. Note Chiron in Aries –pioneering doctors — ruled by Mars in Pisces — fighting for compassion. Jupiter in Sagittarius: no borders. Saturn Rx in Gemini opposite Neptune in Sagittarius: no borders. Sun at 29’56° Sagittarius about to jump over the border. Sagittarius/Gemini — the message is as important as the action, the teaching and training.

Astrology of Now: Deep Thought
If, like me, you find yourself plunged into deep contemplation in this post-eclipse period, you may find it useful to have your brain cells defragged. Bach’s music has the purity and precision of a golden toothpick. He was born with Sun and Ascendant in Aries, exactly trining Mars in Sagittarius: sharpness and purity. Feel your braincells realigning as you listen to this. Yo Yo Ma, who bows your mind into order, had the eclipse on his Sun this week — born October 7. His Libra Sun is opposite Bach’s Aries Sun, hence the perfect partnering. And here is something astrological to ponder. Today, […]

Islamic State Correction
I’m afraid I got the data wrong. I misread my own handwriting. Apologies to Geoffrey Cornelius. I had to adjust it anyway, because my software was acting up, so I’ve redone it on astro.com. Here is the corrected chart. Thanks to Elizabeth Hathaway for pointing this out. I have also had a look around the web and found several more charts that seem to have just as valid reasoning backing them, so I’m afraid I am back to where I was before, which is I’m really not sure of which chart to use. Personally, I loved yesterday’s — so nasty. […]

Astrology of Now: Open Enemies
Walk into Libra’s garden, the seventh house of the chart, and you will find yourself in a bower of sweet scented roses, treading on forget-me-nots, violas, love-in-the-mist. You might stroll down a lover’s walk through dripping wisteria to a summerhouse by a romantic lake. The seventh house is where you meet your match. But oh, we know our match is not always what we expected or wanted. It turns out to be not a lover, but an adversary, a rival, a competitor. This is the garden of partnership, but it is also called the house of “open enemies” — a delicious irony and a delicate insight into the […]

Seven
Today the Sun, the heart of of our solar system, moves into the seventh sign – Libra. We are still, of course, in the ancient seventh month — September. So pour yourself a glass of 7-Up, kick off your seven-league boots, switch off symphony number seven and align your seven chakras. Seven is a magic number. 7 = 3+4 Three = spirit. Four = matter. Together they make life. Three qualities – cardinal, fixed, mutable. Four elements — fire, earth, air and water. 3 x 4 = 12 Twelve signs of the zodiac. Seven traditional planets. Seven days of the week. Seven […]

Beyond Planet and Aspect: Astrological Alchemy Part One
I remember very distinctly the day I discovered what was to be the central ‘key’ to my own chart. It wasn’t very early in my studies, I was somewhere in my late twenties, trying to figure out why it was only disasters in love that took me down the rabbit hole of spiritual awareness […]
The Black Moon Lilith Quiz — Chart Number One
In sorting through these seven charts, we needed to ask ourselves some questions. First, what qualities are we looking for? What differentiates a serial killer/psycho-sociopath from the ordinary person? I would think that we would be looking, primarily, for two things: a capacity for violence and a lack of accountability. It is one thing […]
Anthony Hopkins: Darkness Visible
Anthony Hopkins’ trademark is intense stillness broken by an electrifying stream of words, or a sudden violent movement, or a flash of those unsettling pale eyes. He was born in the dark of winter. His powerful, stony Capricorn Sun is buried in the 12th house – the place of collective dreaming and collective nightmare, the prison and the place of letting go. The 12th house Sun must wrestle with angels and demons. I was fascinated by this quote when it came up on my Facebook feed. You can hear the rapid Welsh rhythm in the language he uses. The […]
