Mercury Turns Retrograde Today

Last updated on: December 26, 2009 at 12:58 pm By Lynn Hayes

Mercury will shift direction today, beginning its four times a year journey backwards as we revisit areas in our life that require additional attention. Because Mercury turns our attention to the past and in a more interior direction, often we experience communication problems which is largely due to a lack of focus or attentiveness. Things can be more confusing, equipment failures can occur (sometimes due to a simple lack of following directions), email and phone systems frequently break down. If... Read more

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All Sentient Beings

Last updated on: December 25, 2009 at 1:14 pm By Lynn Hayes

No matter what your religion, it’s hard to argue with the teachings of a man called Jesus who preached a gospel of peace, love and compassion. In honor of the celebration of not only this great teacher but all of the other great teachers who came before and after him, I’d like to offer a selection of teachings from the leaders of Christianity and Islam, whose original words have been so sadly reconstructed in our present world. At this Christmas... Read more

Mars Retro Travel Delays Combine with Mercury Retro Power & Communication Problems

Last updated on: December 24, 2009 at 1:16 pm By Lynn Hayes

Following up on my article the other day about travel delays corresponding to the retrograde turn of Mars, planet of action and movement, Mercury is now preparing to change direction on Saturday. When Mercury turns retrograde (planets obviously do not ever move backwards, but occasionally from our perspective on Earth they appear to do so) there are often more incidents of equipment and machinery breakdown as well as communication problems. Travel difficulties continued yesterday as a big storm in the... Read more

Religion, Science & the Solstice

Last updated on: December 22, 2009 at 2:46 pm By Lynn Hayes

I really like this article that compares the spiritual observation of the Winter Solstice with the observations of science: Religion and science occupy separate and opposed spheres, no? Not to our distant forebears, from whom all of our illumination festivals derive. They could not afford the facile dichotomy between the sacred and the profane that defines thinking since the Enlightenment, when people of the West sought to free themselves from the bane of superstition. For most of history, though, religion... Read more

Mars Retrograde Brings Traffic Problems

Last updated on: December 22, 2009 at 1:28 pm By Lynn Hayes

Mars is the planet that rules action, so it stands to reason that it’s retrograde turn on the 20th would bring transportation problems, and so it did as several parts of the world faced challenging winter conditions: Four passenger trains broke down in the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) between France and Britain on Saturday as Mars stood still preparing to change direction, stranding more than 2,000 passengers for hours. Meanwhile on Monday thousands in the UK were trapped in their cars... Read more

The Astrology Chart Of The 2009 Winter Solstice

Last updated on: December 21, 2009 at 2:48 pm By Lynn Hayes

Winter Solstice, by W. L. Wikerson. The Winter Solstice is an actual astronomical event that occurs when the earth’s tilt is farthest away from the Sun. Today the astronomical Winter Solstice occurs at 17:47 UTC, or 12:47 pm Eastern time. This is also the time when the Sun shifts into the astrological sign of Capricorn, one of the cardinal signs that mark the turning of the seasons. In the tropical zodiac which we use in Western astrology, the Sun shifts... Read more

Brittany Murphy Has Died

Last updated on: December 20, 2009 at 2:55 pm By Lynn Hayes

This is very sad, I thought she was a fine actress and I found her very appealing as well. I first noticed her in the film “Don’t Say a Word” and she was amazing – she was particularly excellent at playing young girls who were mentally disturbed. Now Brittany Murphy has died of cardiac arrest at age 32. Murphy has a complex chart that reveals issues around anger. Mars, the planet that defines our aggressive instinct, was in a challenging...

More Democrats Believe in Astrology Than Republicans

Last updated on: December 18, 2009 at 3:04 pm By Lynn Hayes

Thanks to my friends at Astrococktail for finding the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life study which compares beliefs of Democrats to Republicans: evidently 14% of Republicans “believe in” astrology compared to 31% of Democrats. I put the words “believe in” in quotes, because astrology isn’t something you believe in. You see it work, and then you know it’s true. Republicans tend to be more conservatives than Democrats, and they are much better at conforming to established beliefs which... Read more
