    “Bad” Planets, Good Results: Venus in Virgo

    A planet is said to be “exalted” when it is in the Sign where (theoretically) it does its very best work. In theory, that means a planet that is opposite the Sign in which is exalted must be in deep trouble. If you have Venus in Virgo, you’ve probably come across some things that some…

    Venus Sextile Uranus: The Tale Of The Blue Rose

    This week, Venus enters Pisces and forms the sextile to Uranus. This can bring some potentially new and unusual situation into your love life. In and of itself it’s no guarantee of success, but it can lead some interesting times. Let me tell you a story about “interesting times,” romantically. Back in a previous existence…

    “Bad” Planets, Good Results: Venus in Aries, Venus in Scorpio

    Venus is often thought of as “the love planet,” despite the fact that love is a heck of a lot more complicated than just one planet can manage. It has a lot to do with romance and sweetness though, so it certainly comes in handy on a date or in a relationship. An astrologer going…

    “Bad” Planets, Good Results: Moon In Capricorn, Moon In Scorpio

    The Moon is the emotional powerhouse in your birth chart. Arguably, it’s as important to you as your Sun Sign. The Moon rules Cancer, and is exalted in Taurus.

    “Bad” Planets, Good Results: An Introduction

    I’ve been an astrologer for longer than most people have been on the internet. Here in the modern era, I recognize now that’s how people get their information about astrology. There’s nothing wrong with that, I suppose… except, have you noticed how good the internet is at dumbing things down and getting stuff wrong? And…

    Astrology And The Public Undoing Of Michael Jackson (Part Two)

    Now that the full horror of Michael Jackson’s pedophilia is common knowledge, can we see it in the birth chart? Well, yes and no. Cops and astrologers should both be aware that there is a big difference between suspicion and proof. It’s always easy to look at someone’s birth chart once you know who they…

    Astrology And The Public Undoing Of Michael Jackson (Part One)

    In the last couple of years we have all become familiar with powerful men who have engaged in sexual misconduct, yet that have taken a long time to reach a threshold value to destroy their public recognition.

    Astrology And Prediction, Part Two: Getting It (Mostly) Wrong

    (CLICK HERE for Part One) Last time, I discussed the whole business of using astrology to make predictions about future events.

    Astrology And Prediction, Part One: Getting It (Mostly) Right

    Some astrologers avoid making predictions, and others like to downplay that aspect of astrology. I don’t. I can see why some astrologers shy away from making predictions.
