Catastrophe and transformation

Last updated on: April 26, 2013 at 7:11 am   By Lynn Hayes

I was browsing around for something when I came across a definition of the word “catastrophe”: catastrophe (plural catastrophes) 1. Any large and disastrous event of great significance. 2. (insurance) A disaster beyond expectations 3. (narratology) The dramatic event that initiates the resolution of the plot in a tragedy. 4. (mathematics) A type of bifurcation, where a system shifts between two stable states. As an astrologer, I am always curious about catastrophes in a person’s life, because there is nearly always... Read more

Full Moon in Scorpio and the first eclipse of 2013

Last updated on: April 25, 2013 at 7:03 am   By Lynn Hayes

Today’s Full Moon is a powerful one, as I was reminded when it shone through my window and brightened the room into full daylight.  As in every Full Moon, the Sun is opposite the Sun which is in Taurus.  This creates a need to find balance between the equanimity and stability of Taurus with the need for deep regeneration and soul processing of Scorpio.  This Full Moon is a time of going deep within to confront whatever monsters lie deep... Read more

Bitcoin: Uranus square Pluto in action

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 7:33 am   By Lynn Hayes

The story of Bitcoin has the Uranus square Pluto story written all over it. Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and began to turn the structures of our life (Capricorn) upside down, tearing down our economy so that it can be rebuilt.  Of course our economy didn’t actually break down and it’s not being rebuilt in a healthier way.  In fact, things are progressing pretty much as they did before the Great Recession which means that we are heading for ANOTHER... Read more

An incendiary time: bombings and inspiration

Last updated on: April 21, 2013 at 8:34 am   By Lynn Hayes

Uranus square Pluto: revolution and counter-attack As you may know if you follow this and other astrology writings, we are in the midst of a major planetary event: the opening square of a new Uranus/Pluto cycle.  Uranus represents the breaking apart of the established order – the rebellious force that resists conservatism and the status quo.  Pluto represents destruction and regeneration as well as power, and tends to create obsessive behavior in the sign through which it is traveling. Pluto... Read more

Happy Eostre!

Last updated on: March 31, 2013 at 7:24 am   By Lynn Hayes

reprinted from 2006.  Artwork by Paulina Stuckey-Cassidy Many people will celebrate Easter Sunday as the day that Christ rose from his grave and achieved godhood. In ancient mythology, the archetype of the dying and rising god actually began thousands of years before Jesus with the stories of Osiris and Tammuz, Adonis and Attis — all legends of gods that suffered an untimely end but were reborn into physical existence in order to spread their religion. Festivals celebrating the death of... Read more

Libra Full Moon, March 27 2013: Finding balance in chaos

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 8:53 am   By Lynn Hayes

173 Comments

Full Moons are all about balancing polar opposites since during the Full Moon the Sun is in the sign opposing the sign the Moon is in.  The polarities of the zodiac are oppositional in nature but some of the polarities are more oppositional than others.  Taurus and Scorpio both are sensual and stubborn.  Gemini and Sagittarius both hunger for knowledge. In the Libra Full Moon the Sun is in Aries, and this time around the Sun has a lot of... Read more

Catching up and letting go – another personal story of Mercury retrograde

Last updated on: March 21, 2013 at 7:07 am   By Lynn Hayes

They say that bloggers should never apologize for a lack of posts, but some of you have been with me for years and the past few months is the first time I have ever gone more than a few days without posting.  It turns out that losing your mother is harder than I thought, and when you combine that with a resurgent real estate market (in my other life I own a small real estate company), there has literally been... Read more

Mercury retrograde, and a Virgo Full Moon: February 2013

Last updated on: February 24, 2013 at 7:16 am   By Lynn Hayes

Mercury turns retrograde today (February 23) and it’s time to go over the things we’ve done in the past in order to help perfect our future. Mercury is in Pisces now where it tends to be more adaptable and flexible and doesn’t mind reversing itself in order to improve the flow of our lives so this retrograde period may not be as difficult as some others. Mercury turns retrograde for three weeks four times a year, so it is not... Read more

The astrology of Oscar Pistorius

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 8:38 am   By Lynn Hayes

Oscar Pistorius is in jail right now awaiting trial for the Valentine’s Day shooting of his girlfriend, Veena Steenkampf.  Previously he rose to fame as the first double amputee to win a medal in an able bodied world track event. Pistorius is a Bionic Man as befits a transhuman athlete in the Aquarian Age – fitted with artificial limbs that some argue give him an unfair advantage over mere mortals.  (See my posts on Transhumanism here.) Pistorius was profiled in the New... Read more
