Heroin overdoses surge under Neptune in Pisces

Last updated on: October 4, 2014 at 9:30 am By Lynn Hayes

I recently had the sad experience of attending a memorial service for the son of a friend who had died of a heroin overdose after using heroin laced with fentanyl. I live in a rural area between two relatively small towns, and was shocked to find out that the hospitals were flooded with overdose cases that weekend. I had written about the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman by heroin overdose, but had no idea that heroin use had become so widespread near... Read more

Astrology in Politics

Last updated on: September 26, 2014 at 10:19 am By Lynn Hayes

Our friend Nick Dagan Best was quoted in a recent article in Mother Jones about US politics: For ages, people have looked to the heavens to understand the strange doings of their earthly leaders. In that spirit, we divined the star sign of every member of Congress and then contacted Nick Dagan Best, a Montreal-based astrologer and the author of URANU.S.A.—”a graphic nonfiction astrology novel”—who has studied Washington’s “astrological dynamic” past and present. (For instance, an infamous1856 incident in which a congressman severely... Read more

Jupiter trine Uranus at the Libra New Moon – The sky is the limit!

Last updated on: September 24, 2014 at 7:32 am By Lynn Hayes

Between now and June of 2015, Jupiter and Uranus will be engaged in a harmonious dance that we call a trine aspect. The trine links two or more planets in a 120 degree angle of mutual support and an easy flow. A trine is like a relationship where everything just works. There are no big challenges to overcome – no major crisis to unwind. Jupiter and Uranus are the two freedom and liberation planets, and when they are linked together... Read more

The 2014 Autumn Equinox: A Stasis

Last updated on: September 22, 2014 at 7:11 pm By Lynn Hayes

artist unknown – if this is your work please contact me for attribution. At the equinoxes and solstices, the Sun enters the cardinal signs of the tropical zodiac (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn). The chart for the event of the “Cardinal Ingress” – the moment at which the Sun enters the zero point of these signs – is often used to forecast the events of the following season. Ever since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, to be followed by... Read more

Scotland votes for independence today

Last updated on: September 18, 2014 at 8:13 am By Lynn Hayes

Two years ago, when the planet of revolution and independence (Uranus) was in the full throes of its challenging aspect to the planet of endings and new beginnings (Pluto), I wrote this article about the upcoming challenge to Scotland’s 300-year union with Great Britain. Today voters in Scotland have an opportunity to decide whether to secede from that union and form an independent government. In the early days of the Uranus/Pluto square there was an international fervor for independence and... Read more

Revisiting the question of astrology skeptics

Last updated on: September 16, 2014 at 5:31 am By Lynn Hayes

Tim, a newcomer to this blog, asks: Hello. I’m a skeptic that doesn’t believe in Astrology. I found the article very interesting, as I didn’t realize that there were different “philosophies” of astrology. I just figured there was one method of figuring stuff out. I’m sure you’ve been told by people that there isn’t any, or at least enough evidence to believe that the behavior of the planets and other large mass objects in space can effect our lives in...

Sunday Poetry: She slipped to Earth

Last updated on: September 13, 2014 at 9:44 am By Lynn Hayes

…she slipped to earth, so quietly, without fanfare, her satin foot gliding to ground like a whisper, as if to say, you too can land like this, as I did, just now, remade in your arrival but quiet, unassuming, able to take the familiar hurt, once again of being here and being found, can come to earth as if grounding lightly on the sand of a new world, re-imagined and witnessed and reborn as you were, by that flight you...

Last updated on: September 13, 2014 at 9:15 am By Lynn Hayes

Live life BIG, BOLD and OUT LOUD! (Shannon Adler) The mythological Mars was the god of war, and Mars is usually associated with anger and desire. But really, Mars encompasses so much more. Mars motivates and inspires us – he gives us the ability to say no and define boundaries, and helps us to find courage in the word encouragement. Mars leaves the intense sign of Scorpio today, moving into Sagittarius where it will stay until October 26th. Sagittarius urges us... Read more
