We’d like to thank you for accompanying us on our astrological odyssey through the year, and look forward to meeting again in […]

January 22, 2016: Here is an insightful report from Henry Seltzer, author of The Tenth Planet (Eris), concerning tomorrow’s Full Moon @3Leo29 (spotlighting President Obama’s natal Mercury), plus, more cosmic occurrences of note including asteroids, and a few words about the natal chart and early passing of David Bowie:

As you probably already know, the 27 Club is a term for all those singers who died too young, at the age of 27. The list is long and it includes, off the top of my head, Amy Winehouse, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin. In fact there is something important that happens astrologically for everyone at 27. It’s the Progressed Lunar Return. This is a 27-year cycle that astrologers use to prognosticate. The Moon is “progressed” through the chart, spending two and a half years in each sign. By the age of 27, an individual has lived a complete progressed lunar […]

How appropriate in a week when we are playing Bowie back to back with Motorhead. The Oxford Astrology Group is hosting another set of lectures at Trinity College, Oxford on February 13. The subject looks fun: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Neptune’s going to come into that, I believe. There are three speakers — Teresa Moorey, John Green and John Etherington: each taking on one aspect of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. There will be a panel discussion at the end of the day. I expect the recent passing of Bowie and Lemmy will come up. Previous events with Lynn Bell, Bernadette Brady, Dick Van Der […]

art found on Facebook here. It’s hard to believe he is gone because he seemed immortal, other worldly. He wasn’t really of this earth and seemed to slide in and out of a kaleidoscope of personalities. He awakened our imaginations and expanded our consciousness in peculiar ways that no one else had done before, nor […]

I was so shocked to see the news about David Bowie this morning. I wasn’t familiar with every album but there are certainly songs of his that I love and I’m listening now as I write. I remember the first time…
David Bowie must have known he was dying when he recorded ★ (Blackstar), his final album, released on his to birthday three days ago. It’s a privilege to hear from this liminal place, the place between this world and the next, from such a great artist and poetic visionary. The title song ★ is an apocalyptic vision, possibly a warning about the dark tides sweeping through the collective mind. The song Lazarus is about being dead. Can’t Give Everything Away, the final song on the album, sounds exactly like a swan song. In both the videos for his last album, Bowie is blindfolded. This is […]

My colleague Jessica Shephard wrote a short piece about Venus Out Of Bounds a few weeks ago which set me thinking. Out of bounds planets are not something that’s not much discussed by astrologers. We’re all too busy getting our minds around cute new asteroids, imaginary dark points and multiple techniques for progressing a chart, not to mention what house system to use. (I plead guilty, m’lud) However, the idea of “out of bounds” is so simple, so obviously important — and so easy to look up — that I am amazed we don’t check this as a matter of […]

Just weeks after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Connecticut, the National Rifle Association (NRA) president Wayne LaPierre said ‘Look, I get it a bunch of kids died, and it’s really fucking sad or whatnot, and blah blah…
