More musings on the Egyptian revolution

Last updated on: January 29, 2011 at 7:48 am By Lynn Hayes

I was listening to the BBC news coverage of the momentous events in Egypt, and one of the journalists remarked that the protesters in Egypt no longer have any fear of the oppressive government. His point was that once the inhibitions of fear have been broken there is no turning back, that any attempt to reassert control will just inflame the situation. This comment, and the events unfolding in Egypt, perfectly mirror the astrological symbolism at work here. Jupiter, bringing... Read more

And the revolution begins.

Last updated on: January 27, 2011 at 6:57 pm By Lynn Hayes

Jupiter entered Aries last week for the first time since leaving that fiery sign of war last fall and retreating back into Pisces. You may remember that Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct in Aries back in late May and the summer of 2010, coinciding with the rise of revolutionary fervor in Thailand, Krygystan, Israel. This was also the time of the first big Wikileaks. Aries is all about self-preservation and self-initiation, and Jupiter’s entry into Aries means that it is... Read more

Saturn retrograde, January 2011

Last updated on: January 26, 2011 at 8:31 am By Lynn Hayes

The other day I wrote about the expansive energy of Jupiter moving into Aries, but we are also dealing with a more contracting influence at the same time: the retrograde turn of Saturn. (Astrology lesson: Because of the way we view the motion of the planets from earth, they sometimes appear to move backward and we call that retrograde. When a planet is appearing to change direction, its motion slows down and we call that “stationary.” At that time its... Read more

Jupiter in Aries 2011

Last updated on: January 24, 2011 at 8:35 am By Lynn Hayes

Jupiter first moved into Aries last spring with the first phase of the conjunction of Jupiter to Uranus. This meeting of the two planets of liberation in the sign of initiation was the instigator for the alignments in cardinal planets that I called the Cardinal Drama. With up to seven planets and luminaries interacting in the early degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn) last summer, it was a powerful force for change. Jupiter and Uranus then... Read more

Keith Olbermann loses his job

Last updated on: January 22, 2011 at 5:32 pm By Lynn Hayes

Whether you love Keith Olbermann or hate him, there is no doubt that he was a groundbreaking journalist during the administration of Bush II, reporting on stories that the mainstream media ignored and bringing a fresh new perspective to evening news. You can read my original post on Olbermann here, and my post on his November suspension here. There are rumors that he was fired, but that hasn’t been confirmed and news reports suggest that he has signed a nondisclosure areement.... Read more

“Self-knowledge is only the beginning”

Last updated on: January 21, 2011 at 3:46 pm By Lynn Hayes

Cartoon by Doug Savage. One of the more challenging yet rewarding aspects of my work with clients is taking the leap from “here is why you have had these problems” to “here’s what you can do about it.” It’s always reassuring to hear that your desire to flee a committed relationship comes from the fact that libertarian Uranus challenges your “I want to be closer” Venus. Or that you are afraid of success because Saturn’s voice of “You’re not good... Read more

Full Moon in Cancer, January 19 2011

Last updated on: January 18, 2011 at 6:54 pm By Lynn Hayes

The Full Moon occurs on January 19th at 4:21 pm Eastern at the 29th degree of Cancer. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so the Moon is particularly powerful during the Cancerian Full Moon. Like the Moon, Cancer is emotional and vulnerable – tender and soft and needing to be nurtured. A cardinal water sign, the emotions of Cancer are active rather than passive – there is a need not only to feel deeply, but also to... Read more

Rachel Maddow refuses to change her sign

Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 7:24 am By Lynn Hayes

There’s no such thing as bad publicity, and astrology has had LOTS of publicity over the past few days with the big news over the 13th sign and the precessional shift. Rachel Maddow weighs in and explains the whole thing, except I’m not sure that her astronomy is correct when she ties the Moon into the situation. The astrology comes in at around four minutes and be sure to catch her very last line: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news,... Read more

Your “zodiac sign” has not changed!

Last updated on: January 14, 2011 at 6:08 am By Lynn Hayes

Stories like this have been circulating in the news media like wildfire over the past few days as astronomers discover something that astrologers have known for nearly 2000 years, that the zodiac that we use in Western astrology does not line up with the current placement of the constellations. This is due to what is called “precession,” in which due to the earth’s wobble the relationship between the earth and the stars changes over a “Great Cycle” of 26,000 years.... Read more

The agony of Bill Zeller

Last updated on: January 12, 2011 at 8:46 am By Lynn Hayes

A reader requested that I look at the chart of Bill Zeller, a brilliant programmer who was best known for creating innovative software such as the MyTunes application. Mr. Zeller committed suicide on January 5th after struggling for a lifetime with memories of repeated sexual abuse as a child. It’s unfortunate that we don’t have a time of birth for Mr. Zeller, but the solar chart (born 10/26/1983 in Connecticut) reveals a stellium (tight conjunction) of four planets. His Sun... Read more
