Astrology is not a science

Last updated on: February 25, 2014 at 10:58 am By Lynn Hayes

Many people who think of themselves as scientists like to call astrology a “pseudoscience.” Pseudoscience is defined as “a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method” but some writers go so far as to call some of these fields of study “fake sciences,” meaning they purport to be science but are not. These theorists claim that because astrology is scientifically incorrect (planets don’t move backward and the Sun doesn’t orbit the earth) it is... Read more

Astrology at the Expo

Last updated on: February 23, 2014 at 6:54 am By Lynn Hayes

Twice a year I do readings at our local Body Mind Spirit Expo in Raleigh. Because these are mini-readings they are perfectly suited to people who are trying out different consultants and different modalities, and while I have many repeat clients I also have quite a few newbies who have never had an astrology reading. Although I’ve been doing readings for many years, it’s still so exciting to read a chart for someone who is completely new to the art... Read more

Planetary news this week: a Pisces trip through magic

Last updated on: February 19, 2014 at 7:51 am By Lynn Hayes

The Sun has entered into dreamy Pisces – the “celestial dustbin” of the zodiac. In Pisces everything that exists in the world comes together in a swirl of magic to be released like fairy dust into the ethers. The Piscean experience is that of transcendence – it urges us to transcend our ordinary lives of mundane details and find bliss in a joyful dream. This experience can occur in an infinite number of ways – through losing ourselves in our... Read more

Heart-opening Leo Full Moon for Valentine’s Day

Last updated on: February 14, 2014 at 6:18 am By Lynn Hayes

Tonight’s Full Moon offers a dramatic expression of the open heart, and not just because it’s Valentine’s Day. This Full Moon is in Leo, the sign that is ruled by the Sun. In medical astrology the Sun rules the physical heart, but there is also a generosity of spirit to Leo – a warmhearted openness to life and all of its complexities. This generosity of Leo opens up the heart at this Full Moon and encourages a dramatic display of... Read more

A change of direction: the lunar nodes change signs

Last updated on: February 11, 2014 at 2:32 am By Lynn Hayes

The Nodes of the Moon are not planets – they are purely mathematical points that show where the path of the Moon crosses the path of the Sun (called the “ecliptic”). The North, or ascending, node acts as a signpost to take us into the future – it points the way for our soul’s evolutionary growth. The South, or descending, node is a signpost from the past. Through the South Node we release people, places and things which we carry... Read more

Sunday inspiration: when bad planets happen to good people

Last updated on: February 2, 2014 at 7:58 am By Lynn Hayes

I mean the title as a bit of a joke – an homage to the self-help book from the 1970s by Harold Kushner. But it’s no joke when tragic events happen in our own lives or to someone we love. Over the past five years of such intense planetary drama these stories seem to occur more frequently, at least in my life. The bride-to-be whose fiance dies of a heart attack five days before the wedding. The parents who lose... Read more

Burst into awakenings: Aquarius New Moon January 30, 2014

Last updated on: January 29, 2014 at 7:34 am By Lynn Hayes

The way to the New Moon on January 30 is paved by a harmonious sextile aspect from the Sun to Uranus today (January 29th). The Sun bestows life-giving energy and positive life force, and when it harmonizes with Uranus, the planet of awakening and change, there is a blossoming of potential that stirs the soul and inspires a departure from the ordinary. Anything is possible now, but under the opposition from Jupiter to Pluto we must be very mindful of our... Read more

Living Wide Open: Landscapes of the Mind I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom,... Read more
