2012-01-08T20:43:00.000-05:00

Astrology Forecast for February 2012 FOR EVERYONE ~ Unknown unknowns. It will seem as if everything is changing at once. At the same time, our ability to make sense of of things isn’t working like it should. The future won’t settle, or fall into familiar, recognizable patterns. There is time for experimentation and a few wrong turns, though. The best approach is to stick to those things

Astrological Analysis for January 2012 Things Change Still More I discussed this in greater detail in last month’s post. Since about April of 2011, monthly charts have targeted key areas of our lives: our personalities and relationships, the social safety net and the legal foundations of society. Other 2011 charts undermined authority and polarized public debate. January’s

Astrology Forecast for December 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Go with what's counterintuitive. December's vibes are asking each and everyone of us to avoid doing what comes most naturally to us. They are urging us to break our habitual patterns and embrace the chaos that is surrounding us. When challenged like that, we usually try to stick with what we know. This time, staying with the comfortable and

Astrology Forecast for November 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ At long last. The world will shake off its stifling inertia in November. Finally.

But battle lines will also be drawn. There will be

Analysis - October 2011 for Everyone Approaching a Watershed Moment We can best understand October 2011 as preparation for major events that will begin in November 2011. In October, there are four planets retrograde. By the end of December, they will all be moving forward. In February, Neptune will move into Pisces, taking us across a major historical threshold.

2011-09-19T10:04:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for October 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ The darkness before dawn. Let's be honest. A lot of situations have reached their limits. So have a lot of people. Suspense and tension are peaking. Rhetoric is getting ever more intense. Nerves are taut. But there's still no realistic solution in sight. The turn will come in November - next month. The planets need more time to dot the

2011-08-31T13:40:00.004-04:00

September 2011 for Everyone Depth Charge This month's chart is another rough one. September's vibes are profound and complex and difficult. They affect us spiritually and psychologically. They also affect us concretely. They strike at the foundations of our identity and our personal lives, specifically, at our most important and cherished relationships. They strike hard enough to make us

Sign by Sign Forecast for September 2011

2011-08-22T03:31:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for September 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Re-empowerment. September's vibes put just about all the Sun signs in a surprisingly similar situation. All the Sun signs will be under pressure, short on options, and in the mood to talk. The planets are downplaying our differences and showing us what we all have in common. They are encouraging us to get over our differences and talk about

2011-07-27T14:29:00.003-04:00

Analysis - August 2011, for Everyone The Plot Thickens - Big Time The Bad News First there was the financial crisis. Then there were protests, rebellions and civil wars. The aspects behind these events linger. So do the events. They have become a permanent backdrop. Rather than bring resolution, August's aspects complicate the world's situation. They will block conclusive action. They

2011-07-21T03:26:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for August 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ This is not a test. August brings a tumultuous blend of powerful but conflicting influences. People will be overstimulated and wired. But they will need to think things through calmly and carefully. They will need to address urgent, long-term challenges while they are facing urgent, short-term challenges. At the same time, events and

July 2011 For Everyone Push Comes to Shove July's chart probes our personality and relationships, from lifetime partnerships to work relationships, flirtations and casual friendships. The process of change, the transformational energies so apparent in the larger world, will now deeply affect our personalities and our relationships. We need to brace ourselves for deeply personal

2011-06-23T15:48:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for July 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Synchronicity. July's energies are lively and energizing, but they are also changeful and destabilizing. Relationships of all kinds, at home and at work or in the classroom, are under pressure. In fact, we could discover genuinely disturbing things about people we thought we knew. There is a benevolent, supportive vibe beneath it all. Things

June 2011 For Everyone Power Shift In June 2011, power will begin shifting decisively away from the wealthy and powerful elites and to the broad mass of the people. There will be a clear sense that the scales of power are finally tipping. Global political and economic priorities will begin shifting accordingly. The concerns of the people will begin crowding out the priorities of the

2011-05-18T12:59:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for June 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Compass. This month, the process of change hits those things we base our major life decisions on. The rules of the game, rules we thought were eternal, will start changing, too. The world around us will start working differently than it did. The level of flux will reach startlingly high levels. And it won't go back to the way it was. Much of this

2011-04-30T23:03:00.000-04:00

May 2011 for Everyone The Beginning Inner change and outer turmoil increase our uncertainty. Our lives and the lives of people with whom we work and socialize, on whom we generally depend in life, are in flux. Increasingly, events push us in the direction of coordinated group responses to issues. It is worrisome and disorienting, but luck steps in often and lends a hand. Inwardly

April 2011 - For Everyone Melting Point

2011-04-01T23:39:00.006-04:00

April 2011 - For Everyone Melting Point Two contrasting energy currents dominate April. One speaks of the importance and difficulty of the challenges we face. The other current dissolves old boundaries and opens the way to new possibilities. There is a growing gap between our needs, individual and collective, and our ability or our willingness to pay for them. We badly need to reset

2011-03-20T02:32:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for April 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Impasse. Whether its parking space, health care, the public library, education, energy or water, we all share resources - and expenses. We need to cooperate and share expenses at some level to get along. This month it will be clear that the formula we use to decide who pays and who gets what isn't working anymore. At all. We need a new formula

2011-02-28T23:59:00.000-05:00

March 2011 For Everyone Radical Departures Prolonged Stress Tests for Relationships A mix of powerful forces, some of them conflicting powerfully with each other, are strongly affecting us now. Our lives are in a blender and our expectations are on hold as we wade laboriously through the confusion. The relationship situation presents a very complex picture. Partners are taking a

2011-02-23T14:23:00.000-05:00

Astrology Forecast for March 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Over the threshold. Things will move faster, now. Changes will be more numerous, more frequent and more dramatic, more up front and out in the open, harder to avoid, hard to gauge. Exciting in many ways. Challenging in many ways. More people will move in and out of our lives more often and more quickly. We will also be more open and more

2011-01-31T15:42:00.000-05:00

February 2011 For Everyone Careers and Relationships in the Foreground Multiplying Relationship Strains A great many things are happening in February, all of them ultimately feeding into career and relationship issues. Most of events and issues, too, are things we will see much more of as two major new cycles phase in this spring. Beyond Financial Aftershocks The recent financial

2011-01-19T16:11:00.000-05:00

Astrology Forecast for February 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ The gap. February is a point of departure for all of us. The past is pretty much gone. Necessity drives us forward. We can clearly sense new and encouraging opportunities. However, there is also a distinct gap between where we are now and where we need to be. We will all have to make a leap, take a chance, to reach our new starting point.

2010-12-31T21:15:00.000-05:00

2011 The First Half - for Everyone Welcome to 2011 and, btw, Fasten Your Seat Belts The first half of 2011 will be rewarding, but still tough. The economic stress testing is almost over. Economic rebuilding lies ahead. The rebuilding promises to be long and difficult. Reinventing our livelihoods will be risky and tiring. We'll be playing catch-up much of the way. We’re still

2010-12-17T16:02:00.010-05:00

Astrology Forecast for January 2011 FOR EVERYONE ~ Starting line. January brings us to the end of the beginning. It is time to actually do some things. New possibilities are definitely coming into view. It won't be easy, though. It will be something of a scramble as people work to get their ducks in a row. However, events, some of them quite unexpected, will take unrealistic options off the

Astrological Analysis for December 2010

2010-11-30T10:23:00.000-05:00

December 2010 for Everyone All Bets are Off Frustration with the status quo will be exceptionally high in December. Things will get more complicated and more frustrating instead of less. Even positive resolutions could be only temporary, setting the stage for bigger confrontations down the road. Delays are currently blocking progress on most issues, causing both widespread confusion

2010-11-22T16:13:00.000-05:00

Astrology Forecast for December 2010 FOR EVERYONE ~ Put your cards on the table. There are major, inevitable, irreversible changes in the works and December brings them closer to reality. However, December will also bring a major, all but irresolvable standoff over these impending changes. At the same time, progress will stall out amidst epic levels of miscommunication and misinformation.

2010-10-31T17:41:00.000-04:00

November 2010 for Everyone Approaching the Big Bang Taking Close Relationships into Account On March 12, 2011 (GMT), Uranus will enter Aries to begin a complete, new transit of the Zodiac. This ingress will set off a cycle of rapid, dramatic and widespread protest, change and reform (not necessarily in that order). I think of Uranus's entrance into Aries as a Big Bang. What we are

2010-10-18T10:09:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for November 2010 FOR EVERYONE ~ Stormy weather. We've all had times when had to go somewhere in big storm. We bundled up, put one foot in front of the other and went in the right direction. November is like that. A blizzard of important changes are going down and they will definitely affect us. But nobody can tell how they'll go. Everybody is going through changes.

2010-10-01T19:22:00.000-04:00

[House placements are based on GMT, or UT and the Koch System of Houses] October 2010 For Everyone October 2010 will mark a historical shift in our economic attitudes and assumptions. But it will also mark the start of more personal, and more memorable, life changing shifts in our relationships, including those with our most vital friends and allies. The epic forces

2010-09-22T03:01:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for October 2010 FOR EVERYONE ~ Progress, sort of. In October, some very important things will move ahead while others will remain stalled. So, while some progress is possible, an abundance of unknowns will make it hard to set directions or finalize plans. Discussion and sharing is supported, but with so many people uncertain of so many things, discussions will only get you so

2010-09-01T16:15:00.000-04:00

September 2010 For Everyone Stay the Course, for Now September 2010 will be an especially difficult month, psychologically. Frankly, I just did not expect quite such ‘active’ charts in September. Spring and summer's heavy planetary artillery has let up. But the planets are now taking aim at our minds with powerful aspects cleverly designed to break us all out of old patterns. So

2010-08-22T22:20:00.012-04:00

Forecast for September 2010 FOR EVERYONE ~ Revisions, inspiration and determination. September brings a welcome continuation of the *relative* calm that began in August. The big, life changing disasters have stopped happening. The momentum has gone out of many initiatives, too, as we experience delays, postponements and second thoughts about our plans for the future. There will be no road map.

A Look Ahead - August 2011 thru April 2011

2010-08-01T12:23:00.005-04:00

A Look Ahead August 2010 thru April 2011 Since about May of this year, 2010, an unrelenting barrage of hard planetary aspects has pushed people and situations to the point of crisis. I've become increasingly worried about how much more of this we will have to take and how much more we can take. So for August I decided to look at the aspects for the next eight or nine months to see

2010-07-21T16:04:00.001-04:00

Astrology Forecast for August 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Temporary future shock. As August opens, we will all realize that the future has started happening, all around us, right before our eyes. Big changes will be coming willy-nilly, like it or not, ready or not, one after another. But we will also see that these changes do need to be thought through more carefully. We aren't

2010-06-30T16:11:00.000-04:00

July 2010 For Everyone Watershed It's impossible to describe the overall effect of July's turbulent and paradoxical astrological influences in brief, neat bullet points. Maybe that's because July 2010 is leading us into a wholly new experience, one we don't yet have words for. So it's probably best to just describe the influences separately and briefly and in some kind of order and hope

2010-06-20T16:15:00.001-04:00

Astrology Forecast for July 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Transition with a capital "T." In July, a lot of complicated things happen all at once. We bid a final good by to the world as we once knew it and welcome a new state of affairs. We begin dealing in earnest with the nitty-gritty details of this transition. People go head to head with each other and with higher ups over big

June 2010 for Everyone Turning Point June is a pivotal and paradoxical month. On the One Hand On the one hand, it is yet another in a series of increasingly rough months. The vibes will be stormy and intense, again. Controversy, uncertainty and confusion will continue unabated. The stress of these difficult circumstances will also continue, or increase. Challenging

2010-05-21T22:49:00.000-04:00

Astrology Forecast for June 2010 FOR EVERYONE ~ The road to somewhere new. June's vibes will tear up all roads leading to the past and break our links with life as we knew it. They will leave us with a whole lot of questions about the future, too. But June's vibes will also empower the innovators, the reformers, the new people, at the expense of the establishment. They

2010-04-30T13:59:00.005-04:00

Astrology Forecast for April 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Still on hold. April is yet another in a long string of months when events just simmer. Those in charge, those with responsibility, continue to issue mandates, based on the realities they see at their level. The rest of us continue to comply (I'm tempted to say scramble), and to protect our interests as best we may. At the

March 2010, for EveryonePush Comes to ShoveMarch 2010 will go down in the plus column, I believe.In March 2010 the powers that be will make it clear, one way or another, how they think the future must be. This will happen in the home, at work, and in every other area of our lives. If not a clear, fully drawn blue print for the future, those in authority will lay out for us the likely course of

2010-02-21T20:28:00.001-05:00

Forecast for March 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Increasing momentum. We all know things are changing. So far, the changes have been comparatively slow to take effect. We have been able to keep track and adjust smoothly, more or less. As of now, the pace of change will increase. We'll have to change more things more quickly. A lot of it will be out of our hands. In many cases, our personal life will

Many will finally be

2010-01-21T11:26:00.002-05:00

Astrology Forecast for February 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Shelter from the storm. February offers a brief but very helpful lull in the action, a protected space where we can all catch our breath. It will give us a chance to adjust to all the big changes that just went down and make plans for the future. There is a lot of luck and inspiration going around. Excitement will be in the

January 2010 for Everyone Sea Change With two especially eclipsey eclipses in effect, January 2010 marks a milestone for everyone. The course of our individual and collective lives is about to undergo a quantum shift. Months of planning have generated countless proposals and counter proposals.

2009-12-20T00:18:00.003-05:00

Astrology Forecast for January 2010FOR EVERYONE ~ Vision vs. Budget. January is a major turning point. We will all begin implementing the tough decisions we have had to make. Options that are no longer realistic, if they ever were, will vanish. We will all have to work with tight budgets, also. Progress will be a matter of doing something new and different with what we

Visions Meet Reality, and Each OtherMore Thoughts on December 2009The message of December's charts is similar to the message of November's charts: The shape of the future is heavily dependent on our visions of the future. But there is something we all need to know about these visions that are about to start shaping the future.In recent years, the planets have supported the

2009-11-24T03:03:00.002-05:00

Astrology Forecast for December 2009FOR EVERYONE ~ Clash of visions. This month, again, pits our visions of the future against sometimes harsh realities. The situation is one of extreme flux and it seems very hard to predict, let alone control. Yet there is also a lot of flexibility in the situation. The outcome really will depend a lot on how we envision the future for ourselves and there

2009-10-23T03:43:00.002-04:00

Astrology Forecast for November 2009FOR EVERYONE ~ Promise. November brings three contradictory things. One is a barrage of virtually insurmountable hurdles, obstacles that we must often work hard to overcome. It also brings tremendous inspiration and hope for the future. Finally, it brings the beginning of significant progress after months of delay and uncertainty. We must use the month's

More on August 2009 - A Time of QuestionsAugust 2009 might best be thought of as a pregnant pause, full of suspense and uncertainty, but also as a relatively safe time to do our thinking.

Barrack Obama's First Term This analysis is based on a multi-composite chart. The chart was based on five dates. These dates are for Barrack Obama, the United States, the Democratic Party, the GOP, and Inauguration Day 2009. The Inauguration Day chart indicates that Obama must devote his first term to beginning to solve the US economic crisis. The chart also says he absolutely needs to

Astrology Forecast for January 2009FOR EVERYONE ~ A watershed moment. Many things are moving forward. Many other things are up in the air and will remain there for some time. The powers that be have put a lot of things on hold. And the planets are about to reshuffle the deck, too. No one can offer much in the way of concrete information about the future. One thing is certain, though: there

Barrack Obama's Natal ChartI was frankly amazed by the strength of Barrack Obama's natal chart. Obama has the chart of a mature, experienced, competent soul and an authentic human being. (I'm trying to avoid saying "old soul.") His natal charts indicate that he has the makings of an excellent president. In brief, there is a surprising degree of harmony between Obama’s assets and the tasks he

Astrology Forecast for December 2008For Everyone ~ Many doors will close, many windows will open. If you have been hoping, or fearing, that some situation in your life would come to an end, the wait is over. It won’t be a single thing that ends it. Obstacles will arise across the board.

Astrology of the MeltdownBetween September 12th and September 20th, a rolling series of hard aspects hit the US natal chart in quick succession. It hit the US chart very hard and at a very sensitive spot. This spot was already under serious pressure from ongoing Saturn, Uranus and Pluto transits. During the full moon, the Sun and Moon passed through a powerful T-square relationship. Various

Astrology Forecast for October 2008For Everyone ~ Waiting for inspiration to do its work. October 2008 is a very rare kind of month. Our outer, material life is waiting on developments in our inner, intuitive life. We sense the possibility and the need for forward movement. But all we have are old ideas that we already know will not work. We are all waiting for a new idea to work its way

[This analysis is based, for the most part, on a multiple midpoint composite chart. It combines data for John McCain, the US, the GOP and Election Day 2008. Given the quality of the data I used, I think this chart produced reliable planetary locations. I also think the house placements are reliable enough to support my conclusions.]McCain's Presidential ProspectsIf you are a McCain supporter,

Obama's Electoral ProspectsBarrack Obama's 2008 campaign charts are generally strong, dynamic and resilient. No one could do what he has without strong charts. But there are weaknesses in them. While I acknowledge those strengths, and am drawn by them, I have serious doubts about his viability as a presidential candidate.Obama's candidacy resonates with America's need for healing. This energy

The important thing to remember is

A Revolution Coming into FocusThis month, I wanted to present some thoughts on the revolutionary potential of Pluto in Capricorn.I think we are moving out of a pre-revolutionary condition and into revolutionary mode.

Sun Sign Analyses for May 2008For All Signs ~ May 2008 is about happy surprises and moderate delays. Early May will bring a little something special for each of us, in areas where we might be needing it. (This will probably take the form of a tax rebate check in many cases.) Later in May, we will all probably have to revisit some problems we thought had been fixed. But May will provide leeway

Sign by Sign Analysis for April 2008For Everyone ~ A chance to change directions. Most of us find ourselves in the midst of thoroughgoing changes. Some of this is change in the direction of cherished goals, with opportunities and deadlines pushing us willy-nilly into forward motion.
