Venus retrogrades May 16th

Last updated on: April 28, 2012 at 7:13 am By Lynn Hayes

Please note that the URL of this blog has changed and update your bookmarks. In a summer with lots of astrological news (most notably the upcoming square of Uranus and Pluto), we normally wouldn’t pay much attention to the planet Venus which as one of the more benign planets generally has rather a soft astrological effect. In addition, because it moves so quickly even these soft effects last no longer than a day or so. However, every 18 months or... Read more

Saturn in Libra meets Pluto in Capricorn: The Marriage Amendment

Last updated on: April 27, 2012 at 5:23 am By Lynn Hayes

Here in North Carolina citizens are voting on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. I have been listening to some of the conservative talk radio shows in an attempt to find out the reasoning behind the necessity for this amendment. It seems to me that if people are so concerned about the sanctity of marriage the first thing to be outlawed should be divorce. This is really less about marriage and more about the perceived “wrongness” of homosexuality. But... Read more

There’s a reason they call them cosmic!

Last updated on: April 26, 2012 at 7:31 am By Lynn Hayes

Cosmic Ray Origin still mysterious I don’t know much about cosmic rays, but I do love it when science can’t explain everything. Cosmic Rays are a bombardment of tiny electrical particles to earth from deep space and scientists recently discovered that the supernova explosions or gamma ray bursts which formerly were thought to cause these rays to enter our atmosphere are not actually the cause, leaving us to wonder what is really going on here. We who are working in... Read more

From the archives: The Ebb and Flow of the Cycles of Time

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 6:44 am By Lynn Hayes

by Lynn Hayes, reposted from 2006. Mandala by Paul Heussenstam. As humans, we tend to think that happiness is better than sadness, that good luck is better than bad. We may avoid difficult confrontations and pursue more comfortable situations. When tragedy strikes our well-protected lives, we shout out to our god of choice: “How could you do this to me??” We believe that our birthright is the pursuit of happiness, and we spend our lives trying to protect ourselves from...

Sunday inspiration: the secret beauty of change

Last updated on: April 22, 2012 at 12:29 pm By Lynn Hayes

Art from Visual Alchemy. This piece reminds me of the electrical energies operating right now, creating rare and invisible filaments of transformation where we are not looking. Mercury and Uranus link up to intensify the energetic force to awaken and realign our neurological pathways. Beauty is occurring all around us, whether seen or unseen – known or unknown.

Is there a “God Spot” in the brain?

Last updated on: April 21, 2012 at 10:03 pm By Lynn Hayes

186 Comments

Scientists seem to be very fond of attempting to relegate esoteric experiences of consciousness to the physical brain. In 2009 researchers claimed to have discovered the physical location of god in the brain. This NPR story shows a diagram of the brain showing the source of different components of spiritual experiences and identifying the temporal lobe, the location for emotion and memory, as the “God Spot”: the source of transcendent experiences and comparing these to epileptic seizures. These ideas fascinate... Read more

“Does my chart say I will be…”

Last updated on: April 21, 2012 at 7:40 am By Lynn Hayes

I believe I have written on this before, but I think it bears repeating. I often get this question from readers and clients. “Does my chart say I will ever be able to have a successful relationship?” “Does my chart say I can overcome my fear of success?” “Will I ever be financially secure?” The truth is, while the birthchart will identify challenges and blocks that we need to overcome in order to successfully navigate our life path, and while...

April 2012 Taurus New Moon

Last updated on: April 20, 2012 at 5:00 am By Lynn Hayes

Photo stolen from my friend Beth. by Lynn Hayes The Sun enters Taurus on the 19th and seeks comfort and pleasure in the simple and the safe, especially at the Taurus New Moon when the solar conscious principle aligns with the lunar instincts in the sign of Earthly experience and stability. The New Moon is the initiation of the new lunar cycle, and after a month of working through imbalances in our personal lives and unearthing Plutonian treasures and being... Read more

Communication systems go haywire: Mercury conjunct Uranus

Last updated on: April 19, 2012 at 8:00 am By Lynn Hayes

by Lynn Hayes Mercury represents communication and the transmission of energy, and Uranus represents radical change, surprise, and innovation. When these two planets get together, as they do nearly every year because of Mercury’s orbit pattern, things can get a little wonky. When the conjunction of Mercury to Uranus coincides with a Mercury retrograde period as we just saw happen, things can get quite wonky indeed. Some of you may be familiar with the story of Mike Daisey whose one-man show... Read more
