Fires and floods

Last updated on: June 29, 2011 at 5:39 pm By Lynn Hayes

Fires are burning in North Carolina, New Mexico and Arizona, floods are raging in North Dakota and the Phillipines. Earlier this spring record numbers of tornadoes ripped through areas of the country not known for them. Earlier this spring we had a heavy preponderance of fire which is no longer the case, but we do have Uranus in Aries, which is extremely electrical, set off against the Sun and Pluto as I’ve been writing for the past week. Transformative events which... Read more

The Universe defies expectations

Last updated on: June 27, 2011 at 5:27 am By Lynn Hayes

I always feel a certain amount of glee when conventional science is turned on its head. After all, conventional science pooh-poohs not only astrology, but also psychology and any other field of study which cannot be rigorously tested and duplicated without fail. So naturally I love this: Space is festooned with vast “hyperclusters” of galaxies, a new cosmic map suggests. It could mean that gravity or dark energy – or perhaps something completely unknown – is behaving very strangely indeed.... Read more

Sunday inspiration: This present moment

Last updated on: June 26, 2011 at 6:43 am By Lynn Hayes

One of the passages in the Bible that is most interesting to me is the fact that during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as Lot’s wife was fleeing the city she looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. There are many aspects of this story that can be debated, such as the hypothesis that the “burning sulfur” emitted when the cities were burning is actually evidence that a nuclear strike rather than God’s Wrath caused the...

Preparing for the upcoming Solar Eclipse on July 1

Last updated on: June 24, 2011 at 6:14 am By Lynn Hayes

I generally reserve my posts on the faster moving cycles for my Facebook and Twitter pages, but we have a few things going on right now that are worth mentioning here. First, the Sun is moving into a potentially challenging alignment with Uranus and Pluto that will last until the solar eclipse on July 1st. I see this eclipse event as the trigger for the big Uranus/Pluto square which is as close in July (less than two degrees) as it... Read more

Pagan aspects of the Solstice

Last updated on: June 22, 2011 at 4:03 pm By Lynn Hayes

Astrologer Gary Caton has a nice article today about the pagan symbolism in the Wheel of the Year and also connects the Solstices and Equinoxes to the Tarot: there are 4 cards in the Tarot which tell the story of these 4 cardinal points that begin the 4 seasons. The first of these cards is The Sun. This is the card of the Winter Solstice and it speaks of the re-birth of the Sun at mid-winter as the days begin... Read more

Chart for the Summer Solstice, June 21 2011

Last updated on: June 21, 2011 at 6:24 am By Lynn Hayes

The Sun enters the sign of Cancer at 1:16 pm EDT, an event that we call the Summer Solstice. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and the day at which the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, but it is also a phase in the turning of the wheel of the seasons that is marked by the entry of the Sun into one of the cardinal signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Libra and Aries). The cardinal... Read more

Sunday inspiration: Father’s day musings

Last updated on: June 19, 2011 at 8:26 am By Lynn Hayes

Father’s Day (like Mother’s Day) can be very difficult for those of us who have lost a father through death or estrangement. It’s interesting that the astrological Sun represents the father, and it also represents the Self. While the mother has traditionally been the source of nurturing and emotional containment and therefore symbolized by the Moon, the father has traditionally been the figure of power in the household and the giver of name and identity. In monotheistic society, the one... Read more

Much ado about Comet Elenin

Last updated on: June 17, 2011 at 4:49 pm By Lynn Hayes

Over the past few months I have read lots of exciting news about Comet Elenin – that it could be the Blue Star Kachina of the Hopi Prophecy, heralding the end times, or that it is actually Planet X, the Nibiru of Zechariah Sitchin fame that comes close to Earth every 3600 years. Or that the Comet Elenin was a Brown Dwarf star headed for a collision of earth in September of 2011, ready to extinguish life on earth as... Read more

Post-eclipse wrapup

Last updated on: June 16, 2011 at 8:34 am By Lynn Hayes

“So other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” Some rather significant events happened yesterday, coinciding with the Sagittarius lunar eclipse: Al Qaeda’s former #2, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, has been named the new head of Al Qaeda. He was thought by many to be the mastermind behind the extremism of Al Qaeda, with Osama bin Laden serving more of a role as religious advisor. Pakistan, our supposed ally in the so-called “war against terror” has arrested the CIA... Read more

More details on tonight’s eclipse

Last updated on: June 15, 2011 at 11:48 am By Lynn Hayes

The lunar eclipse tonight will be one of the longest lasting eclipses in 100 years, lasting about 100 minutes. It will be visible in eastern South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Southern or Southeast Asia, and Australia but will not be visible from North America. It is thought that eclipses have a more powerful effect in the areas in which they can be seen with the naked eye, but I haven’t really noticed a corollation. (Image from NASA.) The eclipse...
