The astrology of Taylor Swift: Relationships & breakups, 2024 edition

A portion of this post was published in an earlier article here. It’s not surprising that I’ve had more requests for profiles of Taylor Swift than anyone else, especially recently since her incredibly successful Eras tour and high profile relationship with Travis Kelce have propelled her into a new stratosphere of fame.

Relationships have always been integral to Taylor’s creativity and her songwriting, and fans apparently peruse every word for clues to the details of her loves and breakups. Her relationships have not always been easy and her astrological chart does show some interesting things that offers […]

Sunday poetry: The world was made to be free in.

Art by Melissa Chen

The yearning to be free is a hallmark of the Aquarian energies in which we find ourselves. Mercury and Saturn have been in Aquarius, and now they are joined by Mars and Venus. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is creating ripples of political conflict that sets basic rights of freedom against authoritarianism.  We cannot change the world, but we can change our own inner state of self-repression and despair. Towards this end I offer a beautiful poem by David Whyte.  ❤️

2.19.21 Personal adjustments with Venus in Aquarius square Mars in Taurus

artist unknown

Right now with so many planets in Aquarius, a sign of impersonal detachment and objectivity, it can be easy to forget that our interactions with others can be unpredictable and fraught with potential landmines of emotional reactions, the eruption of old wounds, and mysterious feelings over which we have no control.  Today (February 19th) is one of those days.  Venus is in Aquarius where we do tend to be more detached and prefer interactions that are reliably sensible, but Venus squares Mars today (90 degree aspect) which pits our own […]

2.5.21 Solitude and detachment for a few days with Venus activations

artist unknown?

On February 5th, Saturn is within one degree of an exact square to Uranus that culminates on February 17th.  The Saturn/Uranus square is the story of 2021: Conflict between the old way (Saturn) and the changing world (Uranus). However, Saturn is in Aquarius which is RULED by Uranus so it’s already connected to the theme of change for the next two years.  Saturn is the planet that brings form to the theoretical, and in Aquarius we are likely to see innovation and technological advances which change our world in all […]

2.2.21. Venus enters Aquarius to liberate and enlighten

art by Helena Nelson Reed

Although Venus usually craves connection and attachment, under the influence of Aquarius she becomes more interested in autonomy and refers to use the perspective of a bit of distance to discover her idealized form of relationship. While Venus is in Aquarius, more emotional interactions are not likely to be successful and in fact could become frustrating and counterproductive. Today with the Moon in Libra, interest in relating is high, and the Sun harmonizes with Juno to […]

Planetary news this week! The Winter Solstice turns the wheel

photo from Anthony Murphy

The planetary energies are relatively quiet this week and mostly benevolent.  The effect of Jupiter in a harmonious trine to Uranus which culminated last week still lingers for another week or so.  With no other major planetary alignments to dilute the effect of this wonderful trine, we can create real magic. Jupiter’s expansive influence can help us to more easily receive the multidimensional consciousness that Uranus bestows when we can become unstuck from our outmoded thoughts and ideas.

Between the 18th and the 20th we […]

The astrology of Sharon Stone’s meltdown

As a woman of a certain age, I am a huge fan of women who remain sex symbols well past their 40s and into their 50s, and even beyond. I am also a big fan of women who appear strong and individualistic. This makes me very interested in Sharon Stone, and as an astrologer I had to wonder what the heck was up with her lately when I saw her sitting at a press conference with Shimon Peres, supposedly promoting peace in Israel, yet saying “People are …saying, ‘I […]
