His Sun at 12 degrees Capricorn will pick up the double whammy of the tr Pluto conjunction...

There has been an Earth Grand Trine in place since the beginning of March of Jupiter in Taurus trine Mars in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn. It was exact just before mid month but really cast its shadow over several weeks.   What Grand Trines do is flow the energy of the three planets together usually in the same element so magnifying in this case the Earthiness of the energy. This particular...

President Obama has formally declared the Iraq War over. It started on 2 March 2003 at 5.30 am Baghdad on the final bleak, war-mongering Saturn opposition Pluto which was then square a Pisces Sun Mercury. The first hit of that Saturn Pluto was just weeks before 9/11 and oversaw the Afghanistan War which started a few weeks later in October 2001.   The Iraq Attack chart is strange for a war...

The notoriously publicity shy Chelsea Clinton is stepping out more boldly into the public limelight with her latest role as a television correspondent.   Born on 27 February 1980 at 11.24pm in Little Rock, Arkansas, she has a self-protective and family oriented 4th house Pisces Sun and a secretive Scorpio Ascendant.

You’re a Sagittarius. Your sweet daughter is a Pisces. You take your daughter to holiday a party. All of her friends are there. The music is playing, the kids are dancing and having a great time giggling and laughing with each other. Except for your daughter. She’s off staring at the twinkling lights, ornaments and the other party decorations. You go over and ask her if she’s...

Let's face it: As parents we have a tendency to label our kids. I'm sure you've uttered or have heard your friends say something along the lines of, "My daughter Jane is my little fashionista.

Wouldn’t that be nice? One piece of paper (divorce) and a place of your own and all stress gone. Not quite. Nothing is that simple. Not even Dr. Seuss. This life is one big ocean full of fish raised very differently, and none of us know how to swim nicely -especially through 25 feet waves trying to annihilate us. So what then, if not a divorce, will solve all of my problems? A trip to Hawaii...
