“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. So begins Charles Dickens' famous book, A Tale of Two Cities - a story that in many ways, echoes the current zeitgeist, and encapsulates the position America finds itself in just as President-to-be, Joseph Biden and his deputy, Kamala Harris, begin their new…

CARDINAL GRAND CROSS & LUNAR ECLIPSE For many, April was a month when the ground literally seemed to move.

The Astrology of Obama’s Second Inauguration

January saw the second inauguration of President Obama on the 20th and 21st of the month.  The ceremonies took place just as the Sun left conservative Capricorn (representative of the Republicans) and ingressed into progressive, egalitarian Aquarius (associated with Democratic values).  Aquarius also happens to be rising in Obama’s natal chart, so he, the Democrats and the times appeared to be…

Astrological Review of August 2012

Blue Moons, Pisces oppositions and storms, drownings and beachings During August, we experienced what’s known as a Blue Moon – two full moons in one month.
