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 Tuesday 11/16/2010
/in The Forecast“Up, up and away…in my beautiful balloon…” feels like no coincidence that I’d encounter this song on a evening (Monday) under the influence of a jovial connection between Sun and expansive, often high-flying Jupiter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoSocikOpHU&feature=related — and oh — this can’t be a coincidence, either — the recording is by The Fifth Dimension and today (Monday) I noted yet another news item about scientists being confident that the existence of other dimensions will likely be proven in a year or so — http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=12152908
Angelenos, if you’re reading this after 8:37AM LA time, the Moon is void of course until 2:59 PM LA time. Maybe you overslept — or will face a more challenging commute to the office today. New Yorkers, you probably got to work just fine…and hopefully accomplished a lot before 11:37AM. The rest of your day is great for creative noodling and for taking care of routine matters. If a crisis materializes during your afternoon, I’d be willing to bet that it is much ado about nothing. Chill, float…go with the flow…listen to some groovy music…until Moon blasts into pioneering, full-speed ahead Aries at 5:59PM NY time. You may notice the shift in energy immediately as the pace picks up.
Now granted, we can’t always plan our days perfectly according to the planetary patterns. Perhaps you have some Very Important Meeting scheduled this AM. Don’t panic! Just be aware of what’s going on when you’re in that meeting. Is it hard to stay focused on the meeting agenda? Is there an unexpected twist that requires you to drop your original strategy and adjust to a new game plan? If so, just roll with it — even if the twist is that the person you’re meeting with doesn’t show up– physically — or worse — mentally. You’ll have a chance to regroup later.
Astro-logical Forecast for Monday 11/15/2010
/in The ForecastYour Monday AM, especially if you’re on the East Coast, could get off to a bumpy start, thanks to a challenge to Moon (feelings) from Mars (action) at 8:15AM NY time. A possible clash of wills or someone’s loudmouthed opinion that could cause a little spat? That’s a possible downside. On a possible upside, you just might wake up with a burst of enthusiasm and energy as you prepare to tackle the work week. Who needs caffeine when you’ve got an easy connection to the Sun from expansive and sometimes downright jolly Jupiter, the Cosmic Sugar Daddy? If you’re born around March 13, November 14 or July 15, you may be on the receiving end of a special dose of good fortune — you might even splurge on a lottery ticket or two.
Whatever you have on your plate, get it done today if you can. The Moon will be void of course from 11:37AM – 5:59PM NY time on Tuesday, suggesting a day of rest, brainstorming, routine, flaking out…or things not going quite as planned.
Astro-logical Forecast for Friday 11/12/2010 and the Weekend
/in The ForecastUnless you are currently under pressure from stressful transits from heavy outer planets in your own personal horoscope (contact your local astrologer for details), there is no reason why you can’t have a perfectly lovely weekend appreciating the beauty of friendship and other common bonds. And even if you ARE under pressure from stressful transits, you could, if you choose to do so, decide to find one thing in your life for which you are grateful…which immediately puts you in the position of a HAVE, as opposed a HAVE-NOT…and this can be very empowering.
Here’s a fun collective endeavor I spotted today — it was published on 10/31/2010 — but no matter — it feels like a wonderful manifestation of news from the underground (Pluto in Capricorn) combined with the rarefied, out-there, extravagant, collective spirit of Jupiter-Uranus at the end of compassionate “we are the world” Pisces, and Neptune “sublime art forms” in humanitarian Aquarius: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/arts/design/01underbelly.html
I encourage you to appreciate a collective art form this weekend, if you are so inclined.
On Friday, Moon in Aquarius in a cooperative connection with Mercury (mind) and Mars (action) can be extremely useful in your quest to lay down and/or repair lines of communication likely involving joint endeavors (remember the New Moon agenda from last week). Saturday may present a challenge to that agenda — thanks to the First Quarter Moon at 11:39AM. Perhaps something in the headlines about crossing or reaching across party lines (a “party line”, as those who grew up in the Stone Age know, is an old-fashioned mode of communication via telephone — an actual shared telephone line).
Saturday evening could be a delicious escape, thanks to a rose-colored hook-up between nebulous Neptune and the Moon; Sunday the communion may well continue when Moon enters soulful Pisces at 5:24AM NY time, after a void starting at 1:33AM. If you’re working over the weekend on a creative project that needs to be structured, you may find it flows ever so easily…a vibe that will likely carry over into Monday. Yay.
Astro-logical Forecast for Wednesday 11/10/2010
/in The ForecastAnother day of Moon in “make-it-happen” Capricorn, an ambitious earthy placement that is ready and willing to facilitate your plans for global domination. Arise, go forth and conquer…with extra bonus points for wielding your creative powers with grace.
