something about electional astrology & a lot about words…

Electional astrology is the art of choosing a date for the best possible outcome of something. It’s one reason why weddings often happen on a Saturday- Saturday is Saturns day and therefore associated with commitment. Oh, there’s also that other pesky reason about making sure your guests can get the day off work. You wouldn’t choose to commence a major network upgrade project during Mercury … Continue reading something about electional astrology & a lot about words…

something about an election…

I was referred to this article in the Huffington Post this morning (thanks Stella). Essentially it’s about the US elections and how this election day coincides with Mercury stationing retrograde. The piece is by Eric Francis, and is a great analysis of just what can be expected from this astrological event. Have a read.

Something about the Ascendant and something more about Leo Rising

I was asked to write this piece months ago- by a regular reader on the Facebook page. She wanted me to write about the physical characteristics of Scorpios.

Slipping Through My Fingers

Tomorrow is Mothers Day, and I posted something about Mothers Day and the Moon and Mum etc yesterday. The day is about our kids, the 5th house- but not just the snotty nosed fruits of our loins (naturally my gorgeous 14 year old is no longer snotty nosed)- appreciating those who created their privileged existence and brought them kicking and screaming into reality. The 5th … Continue reading Slipping Through My Fingers
