Solar Eclipse at the New Moon October 23 2014

Last updated on: October 22, 2014 at 4:50 am By Lynn Hayes

Although the New Moon tomorrow is an eclipse at the first degree of Scorpio, there is still an intensely Libran influence during this last day leading into the eclipse. Four planets (including the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon) are in Libra, and the Sun is aligned with Venus, Libra’s ruler. Libra and Venus possess a strong but delicate energy – inspiring relationship and harmony, yet requiring a peace and beauty. This sensitivity will have to give way to tougher stuff when the Moon...

Astrology and Islam don’t get along (now)

Last updated on: October 20, 2014 at 7:58 am By Lynn Hayes

…according to this article in the Saudi Gazette (thanks Elsa): Belief in astrology and the casting of horoscopes are in clear opposition to the letter and spirit of Islam. It is really the empty soul, which has not tasted real Iman (belief) that seeks out these paths. Essentially these paths, represent a vain attempt to escape Qadr (predistination). The ignorant believe that if they know what is in store for them tomorrow, they can prepare for them today. In that way, they... Read more

The astrology of the October 2014 stock market

Last updated on: October 16, 2014 at 7:59 am By Lynn Hayes

October is not often a good month for the stock market. But in a market that is overvalued and long overdue for a correction, combined with fears over war and infectious diseases, American optimism hit a new low this week with a precipitous plunge in the markets. The (Sibley) astrological chart for the US has Sagittarius rising, and Sagittarius likes to do everything in a bigger than life fashion. Americans are famous for overreacting (witness the current hysteria over ebola)... Read more

Mercury Retrograde Musings: Blogging is hard

Last updated on: October 15, 2014 at 8:31 am By Lynn Hayes

When Mercury is retrograde we tend to look back at the past and revise things. This morning I was going through my list of astrology blogs that I have followed over the years and discovered that almost half of the blogs on my list are inactive. Several of them ended with posts that explain why the astrologers aren’t writing any more. When I began this blog in November of 2005 there were just a handful of astrology bloggers. Of those...

Musings on the triple murder in India of astrologer families

Last updated on: October 13, 2014 at 10:50 am By Lynn Hayes

I don’t know of too many astrologers in the US who are even able to make a living as an astrologer, much less become a multi-millionaire. But in India, where astrologers are highly sought after and given comparable status to physicians, a “leading Indian astrologer” who has evidently made millions in his astrological practice is accused of hiring a contract killer to murder a competing family of astrologers, who apparently had hired someone to kill HIS brother. It’s very convoluted and... Read more

The public breakdown of Amanda Bynes

Last updated on: October 13, 2014 at 9:58 am By Lynn Hayes

Celebrities that live in the fishbowl of the public eye often have the misfortune to have every step of their lives catalogued in the news media. In this blog I have often struggled with the need for every human to be able to process their lives without scrutiny versus the benefit of using astrology to provide insight into the workings of the human personality. The very public exhibition of Amanda Bynes’ mental problems is one such example. Like so many troubled young... Read more

Lunar eclipse welcomed by the Celts, feared by others

Last updated on: October 7, 2014 at 3:38 pm By Lynn Hayes

In light of the bad press that eclipses generally receive, I found this article interesting: In their book “Timeless Wisdom of the Celts,” Steve Eddy and Claire Hamilton explain that the Celts were more influenced by the moon than the sun. Lunar eclipses were not something to fear, but were associated with the rabbit and the hare, both symbols of fertility. … Most cultures viewed a lunar eclipse as signifying danger since the Moon appeared to be eaten by the...

The Lunar Eclipse on October 8th will pack a wallop!

Last updated on: October 7, 2014 at 6:02 am By Lynn Hayes

The Full Moon and lunar eclipse occurs at 15 Aries on October 8th and is a powerhouse of planetary combinations. We have the Grand Fire Trine at work here, but Chiron (wounding and healing) is also a player since it is still in a square to Mars, activating our deepest and secret wounds to emerge and be healed in the light of day. Emotions tend to run higher under a Full Moon and recent research confirms what many of us already knew,... Read more

Sunday poetry: A symphony for Venus in Libra

Last updated on: October 4, 2014 at 10:05 am By Lynn Hayes

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common — this is my symphony.” –William Henry Channing (1810-1884) Read more
