The Astrology of the Boston Bombings

CandleI heard about the bombings yesterday via Facebook when an astrologer asked what time they had occurred. I quickly skipped to the news and then spent the next hour glued to the reports of horrific injuries and loss of life.

Nothing can justify or truly explain what has happened but it is in my nature to want to understand. My way of trying to understand is through astrology. Continue reading

Star Trekking – The Astrology of Gene Roddenberry

Mr. Spock - small imageI’ll admit it, I’m a sci-fi junkie. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with space travel.

Grey skies are occasionally split to reveal the blue beyond. Despite it being the supposed height of summer, most nights I still sleep with two quilts, a blanket and a hot water bottle. Even as I sat thinking about this article, the heavens opened and mocked my desire to write about the solstice. Continue reading
