Sunday poetry for the Winter Solstice

Last updated on: December 18, 2011 at 9:08 am By Lynn Hayes

artwork by Jane Miluski WINTER SOLSTICE Journeying around the sun, at Yule, she turns furthest from the light. Here In the dark of the long night she is veiled, and here she comes to the fullness of her union with creation. To enter is to hold Death closest to our hearts. And as we do, Death has her sensuous way. Slowly, we come to a clearing, and the solstice. And in deep stillness, we enter. Our journey from the sun... Read more

The Optimism of Tim Tebow’s astrological chart

Last updated on: December 16, 2011 at 12:51 pm By Lynn Hayes

Not being a sports fan I had no idea who Tim Tebow was, but as a student of human behavior this article in the New York Times intrigued me: Tebow tends to have his worst 45 minutes of play when it matters least and his best 15 when it matters most. And while he makes many mistakes, their cost is seldom exorbitant. These aren’t so much skills as tendencies — inclinations — that prove to be every bit as consequential... Read more

Time Magazine’s Person of the Year: The Protester

Last updated on: December 14, 2011 at 5:01 pm By Lynn Hayes

Astrologers everywhere are nodding their head. Uranus in Aries square Pluto – Time Magazine names “The Protester” the person of the year. Uranus: rebellion and radical change, in Aries: initiation and action. Squaring Pluto, power, endings and transformation; in Capricorn, the structures upon which we build our lives such as governments and corporations. It’s so obvious! Except to Time Magazine: No one could have known that when a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire in a public square, it... Read more

Sunday inspiration: Musings on aging and friendship

Last updated on: December 11, 2011 at 11:18 am By Lynn Hayes

Last night I went to a birthday party for someone I have known for over 30 years, since I first moved to North Carolina. A large group of us that were involved in the same meditation group relocated to North Carolina at the same time, but because I left that group in the mid-1980s there were quite a few people I haven’t seen for many years, so there were people at this party that I hadn’t seen for years. As... Read more

Full Moon Eclipse, Uranus turns direct – December 10, 2011

Last updated on: December 9, 2011 at 7:57 am By Lynn Hayes

The next few days are packed with astrological energy as Uranus makes a station (a standstill) at zero degrees Aries on the same day as a lunar eclipse. As the planet of sudden change and shocking events, the role of Uranus is to startle us out of complacency and force us into an experience that will break through the shackles of closed-mindedness and attachment to the past. Uranus is the revolutionary, the innovator – it also rules technology and a... Read more

A supersized lunar eclipse

Last updated on: December 7, 2011 at 7:20 am By Lynn Hayes

I’ll be posting tomorrow about the astrological effects of the upcoming Gemini eclipse, but meanwhile please enjoy this story from NASA about the supersized “Moon Illusion.” (Thanks to Astrococktail for the link.) During the eclipse, most of the light from the Moon will pass through atmospheric effects that will create a red effect around the Moon as it hangs low in the sky. This will create a magical atmosphere and fits in nicely with the fact that Uranus changes direction... Read more

A Brief Uranus/Pluto history

Last updated on: December 3, 2011 at 2:33 pm By Lynn Hayes

Uranus in Aries began a four-year cycle of a challenging square to Pluto and Capricorn this summer when the two came within one degree of an exact alignment. Squares are 90 degree aspects between two planets that create friction and conflict which builds to a crisis point that demands some kind of resolution. Consequently, square aspects can often be found in times of great change. Uranus rules sudden change that is revolutionary in nature, and Pluto rules transformation and the... Read more

Chinese jobs use “star signs” to discriminate

Last updated on: November 29, 2011 at 6:31 am By Lynn Hayes

While I always love to see astrology getting some press in mainstream news, the first clue that someone doesn’t know a thing about astrology is when they call the zodiac “star signs.” The twelve signs of the zodiac represent an image of the apparent path of the Sun as it travels around the Earth, from our perspective. The signs are relevant to the Sun, not the stars. ::rant over:: A Chinese firm has decided Scorpios and Virgos are too moody... Read more

Sunday Inspiration: A spell to commit Pronoia

Last updated on: November 27, 2011 at 8:36 am By Lynn Hayes

thanks to Rob Breszny for this poem by psychotherapist Jennifer Welwood. Willing to experience aloneness, I discover connection everywhere; Turning to face my fear, I meet the warrior who lives within; Opening to my loss, I am given unimaginable gifts; Surrendering into emptiness, I find fullness without end. Each condition I flee from pursues me. Each condition I welcome transforms me And becomes itself transformed Into its radiant jewel-like essence. I bow to the one who has made it... Read more
