I am a reporter with a unique beat. I use my understanding of planetary cycles to provide advance notice and analysis on the Zeitgeist of the day. If you have ever wondered “why is this happening now,” my insights will transform your experience of the headlines, adding new meaning and understanding. Call it Astrology for News Junkies. If you’re curious to know why the Impossible Burger is trending…or why the outcome of the 2019 Israeli elections was likely to be a shocker …or why “Woodrow Wilson, Stud Muffin” was a New York Times headline in December 2013, you will find it here, in over a decade’s worth of historical research and reporting.
Note that I do use astrological jargon in The Forecast in my effort to show how the planetary patterns are reflected in mundane events. I explain what the jargon symbolizes, so that all who want to understand the connections between astrology and the news may do so. However, I do not use astrological jargon in personal consultations, just plain English.
Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 3/25/2011: A Beautiful Escape
/in The ForecastThe morning and afternoon: Moon continues in buoyant Sagittarius, eager to communicate more than one thought, with than a little gusto. Watch for ego conflicts and/or emotional spats around 1108AM EDT as Moon clashes with willful Mars. The evening: lovely contacts between Moon, Venus and Neptune favor soulful, artistic connections or a perfectly poured cocktail. After a brief void between 9:25-57PM EDT (blink and you’ll miss it), Moon enters ambitious, status-conscious Capricorn…a twist from erratic Uranus suggests you may be surprised by what you score later tonight. File it under “beautiful escape”. More on the rest of the weekend later…
Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 3/25/2011
/in The ForecastI had a lovely forecast written up and was just about to post it, when a phone call from a dear friend took me away from the computer for over an hour. When I returned, the battery was dead, and the forecast was history. Tim Pawlenty’s horoscope will have to wait, as will an answer to a dear reader’s query about the latest cloud of volcanic ash traveling east from Iceland.
Moon is in Pisces today, going void at 2:15PM EDT today…moving into Aries at 8:36 PM EDT on THURSDAY. That’s a long time to go with the flow, but flow you must or you could make yourself crazy turning molehills into mountains.
You could also consider the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz, whose book THE FOUR AGREEMENTS advises strict adherence to the following:

Astro-logical Forecast for Thursday 3/24/2011: Uranus in Aries
/in The ForecastCourage. Initiative. Self-reliance. All of it inspiring. As I’ve written before, these are some of the positive keywords for the shift suggested by disruptive Uranus entering Aries on March 11th (coinciding with the 9.0 quake in Japan). A sense of how that can play out can be found in this piece about how people in a remote fishing village survived in the days following the quake and tsunami: Severed From the World, Villagers Survive on Tight Bonds and To-Do Lists http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/world/asia/24isolated.html?hp No one waited for the cavalry. They relied upon each other. How well do you know your neighbors?
Today Moon continues its sojourn through opinionated Sagittarius, buoyed by a connection from expansive Jupiter, and tempered by a connection from controlling Saturn. Optimistic and efficient? Sold! In other news, saddened to read of Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s passing yesterday morning. Miss Taylor was born February 27, 1932 in London, UK, probably around 2 AM: Sun in Pisces, Moon in Scorpio, Sagittarius rising. There are certain astrological techniques for divining a fulfilling vocation for an individual, and in Miss Taylor’s case it is abundantly clear that she could shine in a career involving the performing arts AND service to a humanitarian cause or causes, if she used her free will and chose those paths. Fortunately for the world, she did…and may she rest in peace.
Astro-logical Forecast for Wednesday 3/23/2011: Venus in Aquarius
/in The ForecastOver the next few days Venus (love, art, money, women, social expression) and nebulous Neptune will be moving closer together, finally hooking up late Saturday night (make that a date night) in the sign of weird, friendly, “i love you, but don’t take it personally” Aquarius). We can anticipate a sense of cerebral idealism, a desire for merging and mingling in unconventional, friendly ways that are somehow oddly refined and quite possibly spiritual, too.
Put your grounding cords down around 4:08PM EDT, when Moon in moody Scorpio goes void, challenged by nebulous Neptune. The mood quickly shifts at 4:45PM EDT, with Moon entering high-flying, opinionated Sagittarius and making a smooth connection with innovative Uranus. What brilliant idea will you think of next?
I’m heading back East today — but vow to return soon to the City of Angels. New Yorkers, if you’ve been thinking about scheduling an in-person consultation to discuss your horoscope, this is a good time to review your life, especially with Mercury turning retrograde next week….
Astro-logical Forecast for Tuesday 3/22/2011: Obama Horoscope Update
/in The ForecastNot much activity among the planets today. Moon is still in Scorpio, demanding substance and deep emotional connections. Not a bad day for research, planning strategy or other organizational activity which seeks knowledge for the sake of power and control. In other news…
Since about May of 2010, President Obama (born Aug 4, 1961 at 7:24PM in Honolulu), has been going through a challenging transit to his Midheaven from nebulous Neptune. The Midheaven has to do with one’s career and public status, and Neptune tends to dissolve or confuse whatever it touches. What do you think? Does it fit his current image? His decision over the weekend to bomb Libya seems to have confused a number of people. Note that this transit from Neptune will be in effect throughout 2011, along with another challenging connection between ruthless Pluto, which rules his Midheaven and controlling Saturn, which rules an area of Obama’s chart connected with health issues, hidden enemies, behind-the-scenes perspectives and/or machinations, among other things. That connection will be exact in July, and it suggests the necessity for hard, hard work ahead for Obama — likely in those two areas of his life.
