Michael Jackson: The curses and blessings of opposing sun and moon
Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:53:08 -0700 -
By the end, Michael Jackson might as well have been singing, “I’m weird, I’m weird, you know it,” because he really hadn’t been acting all black-leather-jacket and buckle-boots Bad in a while. A gentle soul who was both stretched and hexed by opposing internal energies, he had become an oddity to many, yet he was also undeniably a true artist of song and dance who painted large on the shared canvas of a generation’s lives.

Issue Number 3: The known and the explorable unknown
Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:58:45 -0700 -
Some things we figure out for ourselves, through observation, logic, trial and error, living our lives and drawing deductions from experience, and that’s the Gemini side of our intellect. Other things we learn with the help of others – teachers, books, online resources, sometimes judges in courts, sometimes through travel to different places – and that’s Sagittarius. The balance of these two forms of intelligence rests on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis of the known...

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:14:54 -0700 -
The second major issue on the wheel of life brings us up against the fact that we die but life continues on. The goods and values needed to sustain our own lives take their place across the wheel from the goods and values of generations that went before or are yet to come.

How many types of issues are there in our lives? Astrology says 6
Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:46:26 -0700 -
Astrology is like a Wiki on the general subject of life, from way before Wikis ever existed. Insights about the themes of life and the ways they relate to one another are packed into the basic astrological wheel or chart. It’s amazing how much wide-ranging, widely-sourced philosophy is written into a simple picture of a 12-piece pie once you understand the symbolism. Remember that at its base, an astrological chart is a representation of the space around the Earth...
The award for strangest astrology goes to Hair for 'Aquarius'
Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:00:22 -0700 -
“When the moon is in the seventh house” may be the most evocative and memorable opening phrase in musical theater. The slightly mysterious first words of the opening song immediately tap into the overall feeling of the Broadway show Hair, which won a Tony Award Sunday for Best Revival of a Musical. It’s a lyrical, dramatic, “mod” yet vaguely Shakespearian-sounding phrase.The funny thing, though, is that the moon in the seventh house has precisely nothing t...

The full moon of June 7 engages that sort of energy.Moon in Jyestha constellation, ruled by IndraPlanetary ruler: MercuryIndra is like that o...
