• A Mars Jupiter in Gemini Summer

    This will be an extremely high energy summer! Mars is joining Jupiter, and to give them an extra boost, they will both be in the dynamic sign of Gemini. This powerful conjunction dominates throughout summer and into early fall. Since Mars has a two-year orbit and Jupiter’s orbit is twelve years, they only join each other once in a little over every two years. This time they are joining while transiting through Gemini, which will make them edgy, to say the least. Mars will be joining Jupiter from…

  • Astrology of Paul McCartney

    Since music and astrology are my two obsessions, I’m in the mood to look at some iconic artists. Last month I wrote about Lady Gaga’s chart and I wanted to honor Paul now. Sir Paul McCartney, that is. Paul happens to be important to me personally for several reasons. His birthday is June 18th and mine is June 17th, so we are Gemini almost twins. But more than that, I was a teenager when the Beatles emerged, and they helped me grow up. When “I Want to Hold Your Hand” came out, I became an officia…

  • Astrology of Lady Gaga

    Ok, I’m making a confession: my two obsessions are astrology and music. So why not combine the two of them. To enhance this article, I have Lady Gaga’s music blaring in the background. The current track that is playing is, “I was born this way”. Her lyrics say that we are all Superstars and I agree with her. Each of our personal astrology charts show that we were born this way and it is our destiny to become that grand person. I believe that if we are living our chart to the fullest . . . we gro…

  • Archie's Astrology Chart

    The world has been watching Meagan Markle’s bump with a beaming Prince Harry next to her. We now have a new royal baby named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Of course, I had to take a look at little Archie’s chart and was delighted with what I found. So for all those anglophiles who also love astrology . . . this is for you. Archie was born on May 6, 2019 at 5:26 a.m. in London. He is a double Taurus with his Sun and Moon both in that sign of luxury. His Moon is in intelligent Gemini and he…

  • My Beginning as an Astrologer

    Many people have asked me how I got started in astrology, so I thought it would be a good story to tell. I was lucky as a child to spend a lot of time with my two great aunts. One of my aunts, the eccentric one, had an interest in eastern philosophies and astrology. There were astrology symbols around the house that caught my eye as a very young child. In fact, this aunt had her chart done in 1927 by the famous astrologer, Evangeline Adams. I am fortunate to have that chart in my possession toda…

  • Preview of 2019 or Capricorn, Capricorn, Capricorn

    We have the New Year of 2019 upon us and this is a good time to take an astrological peak at what’s coming up for us all. The main astrological trend now is an important grouping of planets in Capricorn that will be there into 2020. At the peak of this Capricorn era, there will be five planets in that sign. That’s fully half of the Solar System in one place. No, that doesn’t happen often, but it does occur. So why is this one so important? It is made up of the slowest planets and therefore is ra…

  • Venus Found Her Voice

    The infamous Venus Retrograde in Scorpio has just ended and it seems she found her voice. In my last article, called “Venus Retrograde Gone Wild”, there was a line explaining that this alignment was like “A scorned woman seeking revenge”. When I wrote that line, it just jumped out of me without thinking about it. At the time it seems pretty extreme, but I can see now that it was precisely accurate. The world has change since that recent Venus Retrograde and I don’t think it will ever be the same…

  • My New AstroMap

    When you move or travel somewhere other than your birth place, your Astro Map changes too. Ok, that’s my nickname for Astro*Carto*Graphy, which is quite a mouthful. The more I get to know my chart as it relates to travel, the more amazed I am. This last year was my biggest year of travel in a long time. I went to India to receive my award in New Delhi. Then I spent the summer in Barcelona, Spain. Being in two new places gave me a good chance to see how different I felt in each location. First I …

  • Change in Latitude = Change in Attitude

    Barcelona was my home for the summer and I knew the long trip would be life changing. The rebel planet, Uranus, is playing with my chart a lot now, which always creates something new. It can be a new home, a new style and a new haircut. But it also goes much deeper to bring a new awareness of who we are inside and how we connect with the world. I was expecting a new lifestyle, new friends and new clothes, but I wasn’t expecting a new relationship with the sky. As many people know, I have a big b…

  • The Tribal and Pagan Side of Barcelona

    Barcelona is an ancient city and still observes many of the traditions from long ago. The city can be dated back to the Neolithic times and was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. The colony only had about 1,ooo citizens and was defended by a wall, which there are remnants that can still be seen in the oldest Barrios. Barcelona was a major port for the Mediterranean and still is. It was under Muslim rule for hundreds of years and then was followed by the Christians being in contro…
