Seeing by Starlight
October 2012 saw quite a lot of planetary activity in the sign of Scorpio, the sign associated with intrigue, death and detective or forensic investigations. This seemed to coincide with the re-opening of several high profile criminal cold cases, including that of Madeleine McCann, which I blogged about last month, along with some new developments… Continue reading The Bizarre Twists & Turns in the Alps Murders
May 2013 was dominated by several major planetary events: a series of Neptune squares on the 13th, 18th and 26th, which coincided with misjudgements and travel accidents; another pass of the rather challenging Uranus-Pluto square on May the 20th, which corresponded with a devastating tornado in Oklahoma and an outbreak of rioting and civil unrest… Continue reading Woolwich Massacre & the April 2013 eclipses
As one would expect from a month dominated by Martian energy, not to mention a lunar eclipse in Scorpio, April 2013 proved to be rather eventful, and somewhat bloody month. As well as the death of Britain’s first and (so far) only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher on the 8th in London at around 11am… Continue reading Tumult & Bloodshed: April 2013 & Mars
As expected, March proved to be a fairly pivotal month in world affairs, with plenty of momentous turning points, historical events and announcements crowding the headlines. These included the election of Pope Francis, a move towards foreign intervention in the Syrian civil war by Western powers, the Cypriot banking crisis, a spate of weather ‘weirding,’… Continue reading Boris Berezovsky – Suicide or Murder?
As befitted a month during which the Sun spent half its time in unpredictable Aquarius, February turned out to chock full of surprises. These included the shock resignation of the Pope on February the 11th, the shooting of Paralympic champion, Oscar Pistorius’ girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in the early hours of Valentine’s Day, the downgrading of… Continue reading Resignation of Pope Benedict
January 2013 saw the second inauguration of President Obama on the 20th and 21st. These events took place just as the Sun left conservative Capricorn (representative of the Republicans) and ingressed into progressive, egalitarian Aquarius (associated with Democratic values). Aquarius also happens to be rising in Obama’s natal chart, so he, the Democrats and the times appeared to be very… Continue reading The Astrology of Obama’s Second Inauguration
November 2012 seemed to be dominated by two things – the American presidential elections and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As I wrote in my article on the former, there did seem to be a clear astrological indication that Obama would win, and indeed, he did. For those interested in the details, check out the separate post I wrote on… Continue reading Nov 2012 Eclipse & the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Emotional crises, extremism, protests and speeches At the end of September, many of us found ourselves embroiled in emotional dramas, crises of conscience and calls for change as the Full Moon in Aries on the 30th made a conjunction to Uranus. As well as creating a polarising schism between our heads and our hearts, especially in… Continue reading 2012 Cardinal T-squares & the Arab Spring Aftermath
Last month, we witnessed the annual stationing of Pluto, once again in the sign of Capricorn, on April the 10th /11th. Coming on the back of the double-whammy of the Mercury and Mars retrogrades, which resulted in major travel delays, loss of data, and a distinct decrease in physical vitality or the ability to make good progress, this stationing also coincided with the resignation of arch-conservative Republican candidate, Rick Santorum, from… Continue reading Astrological Review of April 2012
Last month, many of fans were taken aback by the shocking news of the sudden and mysterious death of the singer, Whitney Houston the day before the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February the 11th. Houston’s death was officially announced by her publicist as taking place at 15h55 LA local time in her suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and occurred after several… Continue reading Neptune, Venus and the Tragic Death of Whitney Houston
