“Terence McKenna talked about creativity coming from chaos and we seem to be heading towards an accelerated period of chaos, which the symbols of astrology can give decoding clues.Pluto is moving into Capricorn after crossing the Galactic Center as we head towards the end of time as recorded by both the Mayan and ancient Chinese calendars…”

“First when doing an astrology chart I always look at retrograde planets .& most especially carefully I look at the moon and south node in a birth chart to begin to configure and put together a picture of what this soul has been doing on its journey through incarnation after incarnation and those retrogrades will tell you a great deal.

BUT interceptions are the most difficult for others to understand and to teach; because you have to look at the whole chart to see which end of the intercepted or BLOCKED houses or signs or planets are not working at their maximum potential…”

“It would be nice to know Kevin Spacey’s exact time, as that might go further to explain why he is so articulate without any apparent air in his chart, though Uranus conjunct Mercury makes him bluntly and sometimes harshly outspoken, yet with great sincerity because it’s trine the Moon. Maybe his Ascendant is in air, who knows? But the rest is obvious.

A bucket-pattern chart swung from an Aries Moon means this man is always ready with a quick response and can and does rotate his whole world around it. He’s not hard to get an opinion from, and with South Node a part of the handle he’s willing to let fate decide and the chips fall where they may.

“I was just Googling astrologer Richard Nolle to see what he has to say about the financial crisis, and I happened upon a Web site of an Indian astrologer dedicated to defaming Nolle and exposing his “false predictions,” including that Bill Clinton would be a one-term President.

I won’t dignify the site by linking to it, but the guy had the nerve to sign off by saying “Om, Shanti!”

Unlike our Indian counterparts, most Western astrologers do not believe that an outcome is fated..”

Uh oh… I feel at least a couple of sermons coming on…

I - Who Are You?
Hard truth number one is that any astrologer performing a personal, face to face, reading on your astrological compatibility with another person knows that - when the rubber meets the road - much of “compatibility” is based on:

• Who are you?
• What myth(s) are you currently living out?
• How hard are you to get along with?
• What sort of life lessons are you on the planet to learn?
• What is it that you need in your life that’s causing you to draw in and attract the other person (or a certain type of person)?

“Don McBroom’s book on midpoints is one of the best astrology books I have read in a long time. As part of Llewellyn’s Special Topics in Astrology series, Midpoints is an exceptionally clear and thorough textbook on an astrological technique that is often overlooked because it is assumed to be too complex or arcane. The mountains of data that computer programs calculate for midpoint analysis can certainly seem bizarre or overwhelming to the beginner. Yet, McBroom’s book admirably demonstrates that, if you have a good grasp of the meanings of the planets, you can easily learn to integrate the planetary relationships shown by midpoint pictures into your astrological repertoire…”

LIBRA : Here’s one questionably true and/or potentially offensive stereotype of your sign—the super-nice-and-polite, quite physically appealing (if not downright gorgeous) specimen who glides by on surface-level appearances and superficial pleasantries, with a bit of bottle-blonde ditz thrown in for good measure (’…because getting along is more important than trying to seem smart…’), leaving the rest of us to wonder what (if anything) is going on underneath. Hear, hear, Libra: I am not saying you are like this…”

Romance is in the air with all those planets in Libra. Just wait till they get into Scorpio! But that is another horoscope for another week. Your banishing spells will get hijacked into matters of love and romance. The cat will get pregnant, just for spite.

Libra: You are the center of attention this week. You will face contention, children, and the attention of a suitor. Not too bad, Libra. And, if you study closely, you will discover that your suitor wears a uniform.

“Here is the latest, and sadly very morose, example of transits at work on the multiple planes of existence. First though let’s be 100% clear, the movement of the planets never causes anything, or even compels anyone to perform deeds, but it most certainly informs Astrologers (who are essentially trackers of cycles) about the nature of the energies we will attract, and participate with, at certain junctures in our lives. These junctures are known as cycles and they apply to anything - animate or inanimate - because life flows through everything at the quantum level…”

“The 2008 Autumn Equinox falls at 8:45 am PDT on 22 September, 4:45 pm GDT, and early Sept 23 in Eastern Australia and Oceana, marking the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. The chart done for the that point in time is said to offer a snapshot of the cosmic and literal weather we can expect over the next 3 months. It seems it will be a fairly auspicious if portentous Autumn, since there are a host of great aspects along with prominent septile (fork in the road) indicators. The Moon makes a mixed bag of aspects, long range oppositions are indicated, with a very strong productive spiritual balancing indicated these next 3 months…”
