As someone with a very un mainstream career, when people ask what I do for a living, what I call myself (at this point either: writer, astrologer or health coach), sadly, is determined by what is most likely to merit the least amount of judgment from others. Being so firmly planted “outside the system” has […]

The South Node in Taurus and the New Moon Eclipse
Lots of talk about how tonight’s New Moon eclipse (exact at 8:25 PM EDT) is a bit of a mind bender. It falls close to the transiting South Node in Taurus (at 16 degrees). South Node equals the past. The New … Continue reading →

Solar Eclipse May 2013 – Gold Mining
The solar eclipse May 10 2013 is at 19º Taurus on on fixed star Rucha on the knee of haughty Queen Cassiopeia. The chart is heavily weighted to the South Node which, depending on what astrological system you use, can be good karmic debt or plain bad shit. It is you see, the dragons arse. We also have Ceres opposite Pluto the god of dark tunnels.. It’s all looking a bit colonic. At the Ceres/Pluto conjunction in 2010 we had the Icelandic Volcanic Eruption and the Chile Mine Collapse. The volcano (Ceres) blocked business (Pluto) in Europe through flight cancellations and in Chile the 33 miners were buried 2 months underground! The theme was separation from families for the acquisition of wealth. Taurus decan 2 has strong family pride, sometimes so extreme that elevating the status of the clan can override the individual happiness of its members. With the volcanic eruption European airlines were accused of putting profits before peoples safety. The Solar Eclipse May 2013 chart is very spartan. No ease of trine, but a very emphatic crossing of batons, as if to say, “No entry, you’re not in the elite club, so push off!” This of course only makes us want to […]

Taurus Decan 3
Taurus decan 3 is ruled by Saturn. The sun twists and turns through the constellations of the Ram, the River, Perseus the hero, Queen Cassiopeia, Medusa’s head and some of the Pleiades from May 11 to 20. It is appropriate that the dark lord of time Saturn rules this decan since it houses the infamous star Algol. This part of Taurus houses bohemians and temperamental, artistic types. Decan 3 bovines are probably less set in their ways than the classic Taurus because of the influence of our dashing hero Perseus. They can be daring, but are still very much fixed in their determination to pursue their dream. Taurus decan 3 are extremely chivalrous, they have impeccable manners and a lot of class. Even the most low-down wretched expression of the breed will give off an aura of sophistication. Caught shamefully stumbling on the pavement after too much Algol-hol, they will still manage to wobble back onto their high hooves gracefully. Taurus decan 3 has great taste and appreciation of the aesthetic, managing to dress like a lord even if they can only afford to shop in charity shops. They are also incredibly thrifty like the rest of the sign and […]
Beltane: Taurus is Creation, Taurus is Hope
Heavy energy out there. All that fixed earth Taurus. It’s easy to get bogged down. And to give up. You know that’s Shadow Taurus, right? Giving up. Withdrawing. Isolating. Shutting down. It’s a survival instinct, gone wrong. If you…
