Dana Gerhardt on Mercury retrograde

Last updated on: August 24, 2010 at 4:33 pm By Lynn Hayes

I’m pleased to announce a new blogroller – many of you know Dana Gerhardt from her always interesting and entertaining articles in The Mountain Astrologer. She has a wonderful post about Mercury retrograde that includes this paragraph: [I]f you honor Mercury now, he just might be willing to rescue you. He did that for Odysseus, slipping him an elixir made from the magical plant Moly (which grows underground and can only be seen by the gods). Moly inoculated Odysseus against... Read more

Pisces Full Moon, August 24 2010

Last updated on: August 24, 2010 at 8:10 am By Lynn Hayes

The Full Moon on August 24th is at the first degree of Pisces, the sign of dreams, illusions, and a spiritual connection to the divine within. In a Full Moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky from our vantage point, requiring us to bring into balance the polarity of two opposing astrological signs. Here we have the Sun, which just moved into Virgo from Leo yesterday, and the Moon which has just moved into Pisces. There is... Read more

Sun in Virgo, Full Moon, and a galactic “super volcano”

Last updated on: August 23, 2010 at 7:31 am By Lynn Hayes

The Sun has moved into Virgo, shifting the energy from the creative fire of Leo to the grounded and practical Virgo. When the Moon moves into Pisces tomorrow morning (EDT) the Sun and Moon will begin to align in the Full Moon opposition formation and we will begin to see the necessity to balance our inner world of dreams (Pisces) with the outer world of details (Virgo). The movement of the Sun through the signs has a relatively minor effect... Read more

Exercise can moderate anger: the Mars factor

Last updated on: August 21, 2010 at 6:29 am By Lynn Hayes

A recent article in the New York Times reports that a study which evaluated the responses of 16 young men with “high trait anger” (short fuse reactions) after exercising on a stationary bike for 30 minutes. [T]he results of the study suggest that “exercise, even a single bout of it, can have a robust prophylactic effect” against the buildup of anger, said Nathaniel Thom, a stress physiologist who was the study’s lead researcher. “It’s like taking aspirin to combat heart...

Americans still don’t know who Obama is

Last updated on: August 20, 2010 at 5:43 pm By Lynn Hayes

I really haven’t wanted to write about President Obama, because I don’t want to stir up a hornet’s nest of controversy. But I do find it striking that two years into his presidency, nearly 20% of Americans believe that he is a Muslim – more than the number who believed that he was a Muslim while he was running for president and the same number who admit to peeing in pools. (Is this coincidence? I think not!) Reverend Franklin Graham... Read more

The astrology of Dr. Laura’s resignation

Last updated on: August 18, 2010 at 6:33 pm By Lynn Hayes

Dr Laura Schlessinger is no stranger to controversy. She has called homosexuality a “biological error,” and compared gay parents to pedophiles. While she has stated publicly her belief that marriage is a sacrament between a man and a woman, she had an affair with her first boss when she began in the radio business. This week Dr. Laura announced that she would leave her radio program after repeatedly dropping the “N-bomb” eleven times in a discussion with a black caller... Read more

Mercury retrograde August 2010

Last updated on: August 18, 2010 at 6:53 am By Lynn Hayes

Mercury will turn retrograde on Friday the 20th at 3:59 pm Eastern time, but as Mercury’s (apparent) motion continues to slow down in preparation for its change of direction we could begin to see the famous communication glitches. These glitches are by no means universal, so there’s no reason to panic! But I find it’s useful to know about the Mercury retrograde phenomenon so that we can (a) be prepared and (b) laugh when we run into problems. It’s just... Read more

New study finds hands-on prayer helps heal

Last updated on: August 17, 2010 at 11:28 am By Lynn Hayes

A new study evaluates the benefits of Pentecostal hands-on healing prayer with some amazing results. An older Mozambican woman named Maryam could not see two fingers held up just one foot in front of her when she arrived for a Pentecostal prayer intervention in her village. Nor could she see an eye chart from a similarly close distance. But after a healer at the evangelical meeting laid hands on her and prayed for less than a minute, Maryam was able... Read more

Mel Gibson was involved in a single car crash last night when his Maserati drove off a Malibu road. Gibson was alone in the car and was not injured. Mel Gibson is involved in a nasty custody dispute with his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva that has been much in the news after recordings of phone conversations were leaked to the press. Gibson has had a difficult transit of Uranus (shocking events and revolutionary behavior) in opposition to his Moon (emotions,... Read more
