In April of this year I wrote a profile of Elon Musk after he attempted a hostile takeover of Twitter and now he has done it. You can read that profile here, but to sum it up:
Dealing with impulse control is a theme in this chart. We have the mentalism of the Sun and Mercury squared by Uranus, the planet of impulsive and radical action. We have a lack of fire. We see that the fire planet Mars is in the air sign Aquarius adding more […]
Elon Musk is in the news again, this time for attempting a hostile takeover of Twitter. He is such a fascinating character – clearly so brilliant, but also kind of a mad genius and a bit nutty. Just the type I like to profile. 😃
The astrology of Elon Musk.
Unfortunately we don’t have a birth time for Musk (there is a birth time on Astrotheme but it comes from an unverified source in India), but even without it we can see some very interesting things (noon chart shown with Sun on the ascendant). Musk was born under a conjunction of […]
by Lynn Hayes. The Leo Sun harmonizes today in a beautiful trine to Chiron, helping to soften all of the hard crusty protection we sometimes build around the heart to keep us from being hurt. Life can be painful and in avoiding more pain we tend to armor ourselves from the world around us, but this also keeps us from experiencing joy and pleasure. The Sun squares Uranus this week to force change and disruption which can feel somewhat destabilizing, and the Moon is in […]

he planetary aspects today are very fertile for energetic shifts. The Sun is still within range of a harmonious sextile to healing Chiron to shine a light on the solution to a difficult emotion or feeling, but today it also challenges Uranus, the planet that helps us to break out of familiar patterns where we might feel stuck. This is a good day to listen to the voice within and see what it might be telling us.
The Cancer Moon will help in that process as it harmonizes in sextiles to both […]
Rachel Dolezal, a woman who was just outed by her own parents for posing as a black person for years but is actually white, is the type of case that send me right to the astrological chart to try to find an explanation of such bizarre behavior.
Unfortunately without a birth time we can’t identify the ascendant, the sign on the horizon at the time she was born, which would provide more details about her relationship to her personal identity which is what this case is all about. The rest of the […]
I generally reserve my posts on the faster moving cycles for my Facebook and Twitter pages, but we have a few things going on right now that are worth mentioning here.
First, the Sun is moving into a potentially challenging alignment with Uranus and Pluto that will last until the solar eclipse on July 1st. I see this eclipse event as the trigger for the big Uranus/Pluto square which is as close in July (less than two degrees) as it will be until the […]
The Sun enters the sign of Cancer at 1:16 pm EDT, an event that we call the Summer Solstice. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and the day at which the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, but it is also a phase in the turning of the wheel of the seasons that is marked by the entry of the Sun into one of the cardinal signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Libra and Aries). The cardinal signs are signs of initiation and action […]
Juan Williams is a well-respected journalist who has been a commentator for NPR news since 1999 and on Fox News for the past several years. Last week Williams was fired by NPR for saying that he was afraid of travelers in Muslim garb, a comment that has generated a great deal of subsequent controversy.
In early 2009 NPR executives requested that Fox News stop referring to Williams as an NPR correspondent after Williams made some unflattering remarks about Michelle Obama, and Williams now says that NPR has been looking for a […]
photograph from Reuters. News reports from South Korea say that Kim Jong Il, the despotic leader of North Korea, is suffering from pancreatic cancer and was diagnosed last summer. Rumors of health problems have been swirling around him for months.
For background, you may find it interesting to read my astrological profile of Kim Jong Il from back in 2006, and here is the noon chart (no birthtime is available).
Kim’s chart shows that he has a deeply revolutionary nature, with the Sun in the sign of Aquarius, sign of the rebel and […]
Blow a candle out for everyone’s favorite fake news anchor, Jon Stewart! To me, Jon Stewart is the most trusted name in news, fake or not, aside from my sister Jill. His humorous yet pointed skewering of political figures has done more to keep the media on the straight and narrow path than any other public figure, in my humble opinion!
Jon’s sun sign is Sagittarius, the sign of the philosopher, the humorist, and the adventurer, and his Sun is conjunct Mercury, the planet of information and communication. Sun/Mercury […]
