The big events that occurred this month were the passing of Pope Francis and the election of the new Pope, Leo XIV. He was born Robert Francis Prevost on September 14, 1955, in the Chicago area, which makes him a Virgo. The main keyword for Virgo is “service,” and it seems he personifies that quality. I was raised Catholic, and even though I haven’t been to church in years, I think the saying stands true: “Once a Catholic, always a Catholic.” I admit that little six-year-old Susie is really happ…

We are currently experiencing a unique period in astrology. This year, every planet will enter a new sign. Given the lengthy orbits of Pluto (249 years), Neptune (165 years), Uranus (84 years), Saturn (29 years) and Jupiter (12 years), it is remarkably rare for them all to transition into new signs within such a brief period of time. Pluto entered Aquarius on November 19, 2024, and the world is completely different than it was before. Here is my Pluto in Aquarius article for a refresher. https:/…

During times like these, astrology can really offer some comfort and insight. Even though I’ve already written the Preview of 2025, many of you have reached out with questions about what’s happening right now. So here is an overview of the key astrological events occurring from the Spring Equinox to the Summer Solstice. My dedicated readers have learned astrology from my articles over the years and now we’re going to jump into real astrology. My intention is to always make astrology as easy and …

It has been a time of reflection for me since I republished Jimmy Carter’s “The Carter Chart” for my last newsletter. Before that, I wrote a tribute to my dear friend and astrologer, Michael Lutin. Then as I looked through my files, I found this People Magazine article that was published on October 24, 1994. People Magazine lovingly called it, “The Six Hottest Astrologers in the World.” I knew that Michael and I were the last ones remaining from the article, so with Michael Lutin’s passing, am I…

This is a tribute to Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, who recently passed away at the ripe age of 100. Very few people know that I worked with the White House and Jimmy Carter in the late ‘70s. I’m proud to say there was no scandal or controversy like with the astrologer Joan Quigley and Nancy Reagan. Jimmy, his press secretary, Jody Powell, and I worked well together. So, with their help, my first published work was The CARTER Chart, which was his chart and interpretation …

Michael Lutin just passed away and left a big hole in the astrology community. It is my honor to have been a good friend of Michael’s, and this is a tribute to both his brilliance as an astrologer and his loyalty as a friend. Michael was a hardworking astrologer, who wrote four books and copious amounts of articles. He lectured all over the world and mentored many young astrologers. He was a brilliant astrologer, author, consultant and speaker. He was deeply spiritual and psychologically oriente…

Finally, the Presidential Election is upon us, and it has quite the astrology chart. I don’t usually write about event charts, but this one is important. There are very unusual planetary aspects, so it was worthy of an entire article. The Presidential Election will occur on November 5, 2024. I calculated the chart for 10 p.m. in Washington DC. This election happens on the first Tuesday in November, which will always have the Sun in Scorpio. This chart has a focused Capricorn Moon and a 29 degree…

Astrology is an amazing way to find out about a person. The birth chart shows our lifetime purpose and our talents, as well as our challenges. Tim Walz is the Democratic candidate for Vice President in the upcoming presidential election on November 5th. Now is the time to get to know him before the election. Tim’s mother was a homemaker and was raised on a farm. His father was a teacher, a school superintendent and a U.S. Veteran, having served in the Korean War. After finishing high school, Tim…

We are in historic times, and astrology always makes sense of unusual situations. President Biden graciously stepped down and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Democratic presidential candidate to run in the election on November 5, 2024. Of course, I immediately looked at her chart and decided to share it with everyone. This is the time to get to know her. Kamala was born on October 20, 1964, at 9:28 pm in Oakland, CA. Her Sun is in balanced Libra. Her Moon is in fearless Aries…

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…
