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 Thursday 3/10/2011: Cosmic Wake-Up Call
/in The ForecastIn your own personal world, the potential is for more of the same from yesterday — review that forecast and plan accordingly. Take heart, take action and begin giving form to your ideas.
In Wisconsin, we see Governor Scott Walker and his colleagues in the State Senate relentlessly moving ahead with the Party of Styrofoam agenda http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/02/house-styrofoam-cups-wurtz_n_830536.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/10/us/10wisconsin.html?hp Is this the beginning of the wake-up call suggested by the approaching challenges to ruthless Pluto (government institutions) by shock-to-the-system Uranus (revolution), which astrologers have been writing about as early as 2005? (Note that the first of seven exact challenges will be exact in 2012, continuing through 2015). Having read the brief on Governor Walker’s horoscope posted here a couple of weeks ago, last night’s clever maneuver to vote on a proposal to restrict collective bargaining rights for union workers in the public sector should come as no surprise.
In other news, I’ll be talking more about astrology tonight at 9PM PST on the internet radio show “Get Real” with Shaman Durek — tune in here: http://www.indie1031.com/include.php?pageid=%2Fshows%2Fget-real.asp We’ll be taking calls, too — don’t miss your chance to ask a question or two about your own unique horoscope – I’ll have my computer with me in the studio!
Astro-logical Forecast for Wednesday 3/9/2011: You Are the Hero
/in The ForecastInspired thoughts, plucked from the realm of dreams. Take some time today to visualize your life at its highest possible manifestation. Your thoughts can be positively electric over the next few days. Dream big. Be specific. Write it down. Let it go — and be aware of how quickly events can conspire to make your intentions a reality. A new cycle is about to begin, favoring courage, pioneers and the power of one individual to make a difference. Imagine yourself living up to all that potential.
Astro-logical Forecast for Monday 3/8/2011: When Mars Runs Wild
/in The ForecastWelcome to the first full business day of the New Moon cycle!
Moon is in the pioneering, courageous me-first sign of Aries, suggesting a need to take action — and action we will likely see, because Mars, the planet which rules Aries AND action, is running wild. By “running wild” I mean that this planet is not making any key contacts among the other planets, and planets, left unattended, tend to respond by attracting a lot of attention. (The technical astrological term for a planet not making major aspects with other planets is “peregrine” — that’s your astro-logical Word of the Day).
Also running wild/peregrine today are Sun and Saturn. Hmmm. Willful action attempting to control/structure running wild? Yeah — that’s what we’re likely to see in the headlines…with a potential wet blanket greeting us before noon — watch the morning news programs. How does this apply to your own personal world? Note any restrictions that may manifest this morning (“may” is the operative word); adjust your strategy and proceed ahead. Note whatever flashes of brilliance illuminate your thought processes; these are likely to become even more intense as the week progresses — watch the headlines for communication/technological breakthroughs. Now that’s inspiring!
Note to readers in LA; my cell phone is now working again and I do have a few appointments left if you would like to book a consultation before I return to NY on the 14th.
Astro-logical Forecast for Tuesday 3/8/2011: What’s the Bzzzzzzz?
/in The ForecastSlow start to the morning on the West Coast — really weird dreams — or maybe a strange twist in your daily commute? Moon is void from 8:04 – 9:52AM PST, a time when you might do something flaky like pour water through your coffee maker — without adding actual coffee. That’s one potential during a Moon void, and I have the data to prove it. The “weird dream” part is suggested by a contact to Moon from nebulous Neptune. East Coast residents, convert the time to EST and schedule your lunch break accordingly.
No aspects exact today, except the aforementioned contact between Moon and Neptune in the AM. After the void, Moon enters Taurus at 9:52AM PST/12:52PM EST, making it a great day to begin building a stable structure for your fabulous New Moon ideas. And I’m not joking about the “fabulous” part — flashes of brilliance are favored all week along.
Meanwhile, that bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing sound you’re hearing — the one suggesting circuits overloading, breaking free of chains, keeping you up at night and demanding your attention — is eccentric, electric, innovative Uranus moving through the very last degree of the sign Pisces — the very end of the zodiac — about to be born again in Aries on March 11th. How might that intensity manifest in the headlines? Ask your friends born around March 19-20, June 20-21st, September 20-21st and January 19-20 if they’re having any intense, liberating upsets in their lives and take notes. I’ll be talking more about this significant cosmic shift Thursday, March 10th at 9PM PST on the internet radio program “Get Real” with Shaman Durek — you can tune in here: http://www.indie1031.com/include.php?pageid=%2Fshows%2Fget-real.asp It’s great to be back in Los Angeles!
Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 3/4/2011 and the Weekend: New Moon in Pisces
/in The ForecastOn this last day of the lunar cycle, go with the flow and wrap things up that you started a month ago. If feelings of listlessness or restlessness come, as they often do on the dark side of the Moon, this is your intuition telling you that the new cycle is just around the corner. Patience!
The New Moon in Pisces is exact at 3:46PM EST. There’s no let up on the frantic, quantum-leaping pace we’ve been on since the powerful eclipse of the Winter Solstice…until Mercury turns retrograde on March 30th. So…let’s go! But…where?
The chart for the New Moon features a lingering challenge to expansive Jupiter from ruthless Pluto (exact last Friday–please review the forecast for that day), suggesting resources — new and old — will be high on the agenda this month. There’s also a challenge to the North Node (group consciousness) from rebel Uranus, so eager to shake up the status quo in sudden, prominent ways…adhering to themes of freedom, universal suffering, compassion and brother/sisterhood.
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon of 14 Pisces suggests unseen forces at work…later to be revealed, behind all the obvious turmoil. And perhaps this may prove to be useful in your own personal agenda. “A lady in a fox fur stole” is the Sabian Symbol for 14 Pisces, suggesting, writes astrologer Blain Bovee, “cunning camouflage for family protection.” Whereas last month’s New Moon suggested an audacious, yet boring (i.e., relentless and penetrating) approach, this month’s strategy suggests presenting an image that fits in — with style, with elegance, with thought. Just imagine this lady gliding through society, effortlessly, with a natural sense of belonging. Where do you belong? How can you gain acceptance? Go with the flow! Hmmm.
On the flip side, I wonder if we will see manifestations of some groups or individuals, having gained acceptance by seeming to fit in, pushing quite a different agenda at later time. Let’s watch and see if it plays out in the headlines. Saturday: a day for — going with the flow. What else, with five planets in Pisces? Yes, you can shop — or better yet, feed your soul — there’s no Moon void until 11:34 EST — and that’s only for 100 minutes.
After a possible jolt or a surprise twist, Moon enters pioneering, me-first Aries, bringing a more assertive energy to the table. Most of it should be delightful, save for a bit of a moody power battle in the early afternoon on Sunday. Put it into a creative project; do something physical (climb a mountain); work it out.
I am thrilled to be in Los Angeles for the weekend…there until the 14th. I still have appointments available for personal consultations, as I will be gently reminding you all week. That’s one of the secrets to effective marketing, you know. Say it once, say it again, say it again and again. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
