Hillary Clinton, Dragon-Slayer

This American election is an archetypal battle, the stuff of fairytale or legend. The two sides line up, accusing each other of hatred, lying and lasciviousness; of baseness, vileness, bestiality. In their vagueness sometimes, the smears require a leap of imagination from the public. What’s the worst thing you can think of? The words are Biblical, the accusations are of immorality. The candidates are speaking of a seething abyss of sin. It is extraordinary. Although this language has been used for a while by the right wing of the Republican Party, now it has irrupted into the mainstream. And in Donald Trump, the Republicans […]

The Astrology of Ceres

The dwarf planet Ceres, named after the goddess of fertility and agriculture, takes four years to make her way through the Zodiac, spending about four months in each sign. But this year, due to retrograde, she will be spending an unusually long time in Aries and the early degrees of Taurus. Ceres turned retrograde on August 31 at 5° Taurus and she retreats into Aries on October 13. Ceres is about the same size as Pluto. Although her influence has been widely ignored by the astrological establishment — even though the asteroids were discovered over 100 years earlier than Pluto […]

An Historic Breakthrough on Climate Change

On Saturday, at 19.26 in Paris, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius brought down his gavel. Delegates from 196 countries, crammed into a debating chamber, erupted into applause. A global agreement had been reached on tackling climate change. The UN’s climate change agreement is not perfect, but it is a huge breakthrough. Getting 196 countries to agree on anything is almost impossible — as was shown at previous climate summits which ended in disarray. This summit was run with French organisation and diplomatic chutzpah. And it’s clear that predictions made 40 years ago that the ice caps would melt and that weather would become unstable and extreme […]

Boxing The Euro

Keen readers of this blog will know I’ve been tracking the euro for years, as Uranus, Pluto and Saturn pummelled the currency from various angles. It’s been like watching a boxing match with all the razzmatazz, wordplay, and brutality, as well as cigar-wielding managers and backers sitting in the front row, waiting to see who hits the ropes first. One of the boxers has been the euro, a shiny fresh-faced currency; his opponent has been a shadowy, shapeshifter, a character brought to life by the energies of the outer planets, donning different masks over the last four years: Anonymous, Varoufakis, […]
