Aspects for the week beginning 17 July 2011
All sorts of side stories have had to be pushed aside this week, in order to look at the all-encompassing story of the dissolving empire of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. A generation of minds have been infiltrated by the culture of sensationalizing the news which certainly was the style of the now defunct News of […]

Aspects for the week beginning 10 July 2011
On Thursday, the day that Jupiter trined Pluto (huge endings) it was announced that the last ever edition of the News of the World would be published this Sunday, it was the premier of the last in the Harry Potter series of films (transiting Jupiter squaring the magical Mars/Neptune conjunction of the natal chart of the first film), […]

Wimbledon Men’s Semi-Finals 2011
Andy Murray Have been avoiding looking too closely at Andy Murray’s chart. It would be lovely for a Brit to win Wimbledon for the first time since I think Virginia Wade… He has got some very favourable aspects in his natal chart, such as the Part of Fortune conjunct his North Node (he does aim […]
Aspects for the week beginning 12 June 2011
This week has seen further international pressure for Syria’s government to stand down or at least stop killing its own citizens. President Bashar Al-Assad heads another dictatorship in the Middle East, but one being treated very differently than that of Muammar Al-Ghaddafi in Libya.

The Alternative Vote – An Astrological and Karmic Perspective
The opportunity to vote for or against the Alternative Vote is coming up on Thursday, a consequence of the Coalition. The Coalition itself was a consequence of the hung parliament which arose as a result of last year’s election. The hung parliament was an expression of the deadlock of the t-square between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, the aim of […]
Aspects for the week beginning 17 April 2011
I’ve been avoiding writing about Libyan defector Moussa Koussa for weeks because I have seen 3 different phonetic interpretations of the spelling of his name and I didn’t want to have to choose. But he does seem to have become a bridge or symbol of past and future karma between Britain and Libya. Moussa Koussa’s […]

Aspects for the week beginning 10 April 2011
You may feel that you were losing the plot last week, or that events in the world were going round in circles. Has there been any progress in Libya, you might have wondered? And what is going on in Japan? In the UK, the government announced that they would not immediately be implementing their new […]

In and Out Blogging on the Radical Virgo Website
Radical Virgo (aka) Joyce Mason caught my eye two years ago with the zany humour and upbeat pics on her website. I like her style of presenting profound material in a lighthearted way. She welcomed me into the astrological blogging community, and for that I am eternally grateful. Reading other blogs is a vital part […]

Aspects for the week beginning 13 March 2011
Within hours of Uranus entering Aries, a large scale disaster unfolded on our screens coming from Japan: earthquake, followed by tsunami and then nuclear plant meltdown. The national chart of Japan shows the sword of Damocles which has been present in the form of a Grand Cross between the natal Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Chiron. […]
