Election day musings

Last updated on: November 1, 2010 at 5:06 pm By Lynn Hayes

It was just two years ago when, swept away by the excitement of the Saturn/Uranus opposition we elected the first African-American president who promised hope and change and a new America. As one who didn’t much care for the Bush years, it was easy to hope and I figured anything would be a positive change. I count myself in the 37% that still approves of Barack Obama. Considering that he has presided over the greatest economic disaster since the Great... Read more

Into the underworld, and Venus ascending

Last updated on: October 30, 2010 at 12:27 pm By Lynn Hayes

Halloween truly is a pagan practice, and most people now recognize that this so-called holiday is actually rooted in the old Celtic festival of Samhain. Although Halloween is commonly celebrated on October 31, the festival of Samhain is a cross-quarter holiday that occurs at the midpoint between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice on November 7. Astrologically, Samhain (along with the other cross-quarter days of Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasad) is celebrated at the midpoint of the fixed signs of... Read more

Taylor Swift is angry

Last updated on: October 29, 2010 at 7:37 am By Lynn Hayes

Taylor Swift, the beautiful young songstress who has achieved great success at a young age, has been in the news over the past week for her new album. A recent article in the Times says: FOR pure star-on-star revenge, “Dear John,” from the new Taylor Swift album, “Speak Now,” will be tough to beat. Six and a half minutes long and flagrantly provocative, it’s a deeply uncomfortable song, its protagonist anguished and violated. “Don’t you think I was too young to... Read more

Punkie night!

Last updated on: October 28, 2010 at 5:53 pm By Lynn Hayes

Beth Owl’s Daughter reminds us that tonight is “Punkie Night,” an ancient celebration from Somerset England which is celebrated by the carving of pumpkin-like mangolds. Beth writes, “Throughout Somerset, locals use the term “spunky” to refer to Will-o-the-Wisps — a ball of light seen at night rising up from a marsh or bog.” In Christianized England these “spunkies” were thought to be the souls of unbaptized children who wandered eternally through the night, but the pagans saw spunkies as...

In the news: Zecharia Sitchin and Charlie Sheen

Last updated on: October 27, 2010 at 6:03 am By Lynn Hayes

Zecharia Sitchin has died I just discovered that Zecharia Sitchin died on October 9th. Sitchin was the author of many books translating ancient Sumerian texts which appeared to describe the settlement of Earth by ancient astronauts. Though ridiculed by many, Sitchin’s work has been extremely influential. Sitchin, aged 90, would have experienced his “Pluto opposition” this year, a time when Pluto in the sky opposes Pluto in the chart. Sitchin, with the Sun in Cancer (born July 11, 1920, time...

The United States Saturn Return

Last updated on: October 26, 2010 at 4:05 pm By Lynn Hayes

Every thirty years, Saturn returns to its place in the birthchart and that is no less true for national charts than it is for the charts of individuals. The “Saturn Return” is a time that requires the celebration of Saturnian characteristics: solitude, hard work, facing up to the hard cold realities of life. Saturn in the US chart is at 14 degrees Libra (see this earlier article for more details about the US chart and why I use the Sibley... Read more

The Plutocracy of Pluto in Capricorn 2010

Last updated on: October 25, 2010 at 4:48 pm By Lynn Hayes

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday said the United States would be ceded to plutocrats and oligarchs if Republicans win next month’s election, referring to the flood of pro-GOP corporate election spending. The word “plutocracy” is being heard more and more these days, as in this article quoting Nancy Pelosi. It’s an interesting word as it contains the word “Pluto” which is all about power and control. Merriam-Webster defines “plutocracy” as government by the wealthy, which reminds us... Read more

The rebellion of Juan Williams

Last updated on: October 24, 2010 at 3:18 pm By Lynn Hayes

Juan Williams is a well-respected journalist who has been a commentator for NPR news since 1999 and on Fox News for the past several years. Last week Williams was fired by NPR for saying that he was afraid of travelers in Muslim garb, a comment that has generated a great deal of subsequent controversy. In early 2009 NPR executives requested that Fox News stop referring to Williams as an NPR correspondent after Williams made some unflattering remarks about Michelle Obama,... Read more

Predicting the future with astrology

Last updated on: October 22, 2010 at 10:07 am By Lynn Hayes

The title of this post is misleading. As my readers know, I do not believe that we can predict the future with astrology. We can predict stormy weather; we can predict good fortune of some kind. We cannot predict with any degree of accuracy when specific things will happen, the effort of many astrologers to do so notwithstanding. An example of this is the question “when will I meet my soulmate.” This is probably the Number One question asked of... Read more

Full Moon in Aries: October 22, 2010

Last updated on: October 21, 2010 at 3:40 pm By Lynn Hayes

The Full Moon on Friday, October 22nd, is at the very last degree of Aries. Aries is the sign of initiation and courage; the sign that inspires us to forge ahead despite our fears and anxieties and make things happen. The 29th degree is a symbol of completion, and the Full Moon is the symbol of fulfillment and readiness for gestation. There is a sense here of a readiness for personal growth and evolution that can come to fruition if... Read more
