While May began with a brutal trudge, its last third is characterized by manic speed. Good tidings and ill are born aloft on potent winds, whose bluster shapes the land below. From the 2013 Astrological Almanac- “The Sun leaves the pastures of Taurus behind on the 20th, when it enters the dizzying geometries of [...]
An annular solar eclipse occurs on Thursday, May 9th, visible primarily over Australia and the Pacific. This eclipse occurs atop the south node of the Moon, the old Tail of the Dragon, Ketu to Vedic astrologers. I did a little writing about this eclipse my 2013 Almanac. It went something like this- “ [...]
From the 2013 Astrological Almanac: The Princess and the Pea Venus enters Taurus on the 14th. The pleasant planet’s entrance into the Bull’s sign is a return to Venus’ favorite chaise lounge, putting us in the mood for both luxury and beauty. Venus’ first few days in Taurus may well gratify these desires, as she [...]
The week begins with Tuesday’s New Moon in Aries, which brings an extraordinarily intense lunar month to a close, though the one it seeds is not without challenges. Shortly thereafter, on Friday, Pluto grinds to a halt, saddling the week with the weight of his retrograde station. Saturday, however, sees Mercury enter Aries, which offers [...]
The moon wanes over a fiery but less dramatic week than those recently passed. A restless pile of planets makes their way through raw Aries, but the only exact aspect this week is Venus’ erotic conjunction with Mars, which occurs on Saturday night. Compared to previous weeks, there is little new planetary drama prancing across [...]
From my 2013 Astrological Almanac: “This last week of March is a pyre, struck by red lightning and warmed by the underworld’s flames. Fear not, though, for this is not the hellmouth of some hungry devil, but the place the phoenix goes to become new again. Nonetheless, this place has a price. You’ll need to [...]
This week the Moon waxes while planets pile into Aries. The Sun goes first, crossing the equinoctial boundary late Tuesday night. Venus, not long behind, follows Sol into Aries on Thursday the 21st. Meanwhile Mars, who crossed into Aries last week, spends this one on his way toward an explosive conjunction with Uranus, which he [...]
This week begins with the slow dark of the New Moon in Pisces, but from there a new cycle unfolds swiftly. Mars enters Aries on Monday night, quickening the meandering processes in play. From it’s Sunday perch, Mercury’s direct station lends a growing clarity to the week, which moves with greater direction and speed than [...]
It’s mah birfday, and I won’t be blogging this week.
No column this week, folks. I wrote one. Well, most of one, but it just doesn’t feel right to try to cage what’s afoot right now in words. The action isn’t happening on the linguistic level. That’s where the distractions are- the politics, the Oscars, the facebook drama, the everyday neurosis of explanations. Little nets [...]
