Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito And The Eclipses

by  • 

A sensational murder trial has finally come to a close. After seven long years, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were cleared of the murder of Meredith Kercher yesterday by the highest court in Italy. All of the major actors in this drama are playthings of the gods, acting out an archetypal story in the world media for our mass edification. The headlines have been lurid, speculation has been unbridled, truth has been scarce. Prejudice and bigotry, national pride, racism, misogyny and snobbery have all played a part in a story that at heart may be very simple: an innocent was raped and killed by a murderer who […]

Saturn in Sagittarius: Part One

by  • 

As Saturn, the reaper, slows to a halt before turning retrograde in mid-March, let’s pause to reflect what the transit of this great planet through the sign of the centaur means. In this post, I’ll look briefly at the past Saturn in Sag period to give us a handle on this one. Then in later posts will delve deeper into the psychological and the personal, including Saturn Returns and the Seven-and-a-half. Saturn in Sagittarius 23 Dec 2014 – 15 June 2015 18 Sep 2015 – 20 Dec 2017 Saturn is stationing around 5° Sagittarius & turns Rx on March 14 By tradition, […]

The Astrological Journal

by  • 

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 […]

Greece’s Alexis Tsipras Dreams Big

by  • 

Destiny, and the Greek electorate, have pushed Alexis Tsipras, up to Europe’s top table. He may be holding a weak hand, but it already looks as if he’s smart enough to play and maybe even win against bigger, richer, stronger, meaner opponents. Tsipras was sworn in as Greek Prime Minister on January 26, and immediately set about saving the poorest people in Greece from going without electricity and food. Compassion is written large in his natal chart. See Jupiter, the planet of caritas in its own sign Pisces right at the top. Jupiter is sandwiched between Ceres, which seems to be an important planet for […]

Greece

by  • 

Here — Archipelago of Dreams — is a post I wrote about Greece in 2011. The chart I drew up puts transiting Uranus, the disruptor, on Greece’s natal Saturn today. All change. And here is one about Europe. Believe it or not they are both quite relevant tonight as the left sweeps back into power in Greece, promising to end austerity.

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 […]

The Mighty Pen, Symbol of Reason

by  • 

Twelve people at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were gunned down on January 7. In the same week, Saudi blogger Raif Badawi received the first 50 lashes of his 1000-lash sentence for blasphemy, ironically, an echo of the Charlie Hebdo cover that caused such offense in 2011 — “1000 lashes if you don’t die laughing”. Not to mention the on-going incarceration of Palestinian poet Ashraf Fayad in Saudi also, for blasphemous verses. Islamofascism (still apparently a contested term, but loosely defined as a political ideology based on Islam) has been gaining in strength for decades, but its […]

Beheading

by  • 

Not only was the news this morning sad, it was troubling, horrifying, grotesque, macabre — satanic even. I’m referring to the murder of the American hostage Abdul-Rahman Kassig and 18 unnamed Syrian troops by Islamic State. All were gruesomely killed for the camera, and the video was posted on-line. There is a star in the sky specifically associated with decapitation. This is the “Demon Star”, Algol, named also the Medusa’s Head. This bright star is visible in the sky right now. For directions on finding it, click here. It’s part of the constellation Perseus, named after the Greek hero who severed […]
