As I write this article we all have just weathered the opposition of Saturn and Uranus, and now Saturn is opposing Jupiter. What a set up! The first transit has shaken the foundation of our well being down to the core, and made us take responsibility for our creations, whether they are physical or otherwise.

Now this transit brings us to our knees with a push/pull between our hopes and dreams and our responsibilities. While these two planets are opposing, Venus and Pluto are also in opposition, adding stress to our relationships and forcing transformation within them.  This Grand Cross brings action rather than procrastinating any longer. We are forced to DEAL with our issues.

Take advantage of these otherwise disruptive energies and look at everything, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, in your life. Let go!

In my 25 years of professional practice, I’ve learned a great deal about the cycles of the planets and luminaries and how they are expressed in an individual’s chart. But there are cycles that affect us all, in a global way as well as personally.

One such cycle is the opposition of Saturn and Uranus, two Titan planets with very different energies. This particular event of Saturn and Uranus in opposition takes place 5 times between November of 2008 and July of 2010. Saturn is the planet of restraint, patience and self-discipline; it teaches us through experience and limitation. Uranus is the planet of freedom, unpredictability, change and revolution. These energies are polar opposites, and bring about huge changes. The last opposition was in 1965-1967, bringing great changes as “The Establishment” opposed “The Hippies”. Through music, politics and personal values, we all felt the effects of one system struggling against the other.

It began November 3^rd and 4^th of 2008, with the election of the past and Saturn(John McCain) versus the possible future and Uranus (Obama). It represents the old and the new battling for supremacy. The old America versus the new America. Stand back and see it clearly, with the campaign for Obama focusing on CHANGE. This dance between Saturn and Uranus has 5 exact oppositions in two years, with the second being 2/5/09, the third 9/15/09, the fourth just happened 4/26/10, and the final will take place July 26^th, 2010.

World events reflect this dynamic, and most recently with the oil explosion and spill in the Gulf. The old versus the new, seen in another light. And yet, will it bring about the needed changes that are obviously being shown to us, or will we resist? In the final chapter in July, we will see if another world event is dialed in for us all to witness and question our values again.

On a personal level, we can all look within and see where we need to fine tune ourselves. Whether it be to exercise the discipline it takes to move forward in a secure and methodical fashion, or, to release the past that binds us to old patterns and ways of behavior that no longer serves us. Take a look at yourself, honestly, and invest the energy it takes to make the most positive moves now for your future. The planets support these changes in all of us, so take a deep look.

Sylvester Stallone is in the last stretch of making his newest film, The Expendables. He co-wrote and directs this film with a cast of giants, literally! The cast includes Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren and more.

I find it amazing that Sly is 63 years old at the time I’m writing this article! He is an example of a self made man, like the characters he depicts. With Sagittarius Rising, this man is in perpetual motion. He is optimistic, with positive expectations of himself and those he surrounds himself with. People are very important to Sly, and those around him know that.

Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott are working on their 5th film together, working title, Robin Hood. As you will read in their compatibility report, click here, they share the fire at times, and at other times, there are fireworks.

They both are Alpha males, with strong attitudes and personalities. When it works, artistically and creatively, there must be nothing better for them both. But at times, the power struggles must be intense.

What they do share is intensely powerful, they both have fixed Moon signs, making them determined and stubborn. They will stick to it until it is over, and through all of the fireworks and drama, they will deliver an amazing product again.

Read about them, and you will see how they are able to make it work together.click here

Tiger Woods is in the news for something other than golf as of late. His character is called into question now that the “cats” are out of the bag so to speak.

Once again, we are privy to more than we ever wanted to know about a celebrities’ escapades. It’s no surprise, happens all the time, but this time seemingly so unwarranted. I wanted to look at Tiger and Elin’s charts to see just what is going on here.

Tiger is a Capricorn, with Virgo Rising, and a Sagittarius Moon. On the outside, Tiger appears quiet and polite, but his name describes an entirely different nature. When you read his natal report (click here) there are some key’s to his inspiration, beginning with Sun square Pluto (infatuation with power and intense motives and desires), Moon opposite Mars (temperamental and impatient), Venus in Scorpio (values sexuality, obsessive desires), Mars sextile Jupiter (an anything goes mentality), Jupiter in Aries (competitive and “me” oriented), Saturn in Leo (needs constant praise and admiration), and Uranus in Scorpio (emotional intensity and promiscuity).

At the time of Tiger’s accident after his and Elin’s argument, there was a T-Square between the Moon, Saturn and Pluto. The Moon at 2 degrees Aries, square Pluto at 2 degrees Capricorn, and Saturn at 2 degrees Libra, square Pluto and opposite the Moon.
This creates tension and obsession emotionally and sure seems to have taken hold of the both of them. It’s the last straw transit.

The chart wheel is Tiger Woods natal chart in the center and the planets in place at the time of the accident. The report is about Tiger Woods, the man in trouble. At least for now.

On November 27th at 2:25 AM Tiger crashed into a tree trying to leave his house. It was reported he and Elin were fighting prior to him leaving in his SUV, and he was injured in the crash.

As an astrologer, I wanted to look at their transits and see just what was happening. At the time of the event, there was a powerful astrological transit involving the Moon, Pluto and Saturn called a T-Square. These events, where planets and luminaries align in such a “pattern” as to create an effect on humanity, are very powerful!

Here we have the Moon at 2 degrees Aries, square Pluto at 2 degrees Capricorn, and oppose Saturn at 2 degrees Libra. The Moon is responsible for the crazy emotions at work, Pluto is transformational and provides the storm, and Saturn brings the limitation that ignites through frustration. Add to this the most powerful dynamic known to man: a woman scorned.

Go to FAMOUS PEOPLE and read in detail about the both of them, and then their compatibility report in The Woods.

We’ve been hearing about the controversy surrounding Obama’s birth certificate for some time now. It’s been a heated debate.

His paternal step-grandmother says he was born in Mombasa, Kenya. The official report says Honolulu Hawaii on the certificate-of-live-birth they have released.

I’ve prepared two charts for Mr. Obama; one with Hawaii as the birthplace and one with Kenya as the birthplace.

Here are both charts together. (continue reading…)

Amelia Earhart was a Leo. She was regal since birth, raised to know the difference between classes and social structures due to her Mother’s family. Leo’s are courageous leaders, and Amelia proved to be one of the most notable for her time.

When she was nearing her 40^th Birthday, she undertook the journey of her life, to circumnavigate the globe. She made an earlier attempt, traveling from east to west and damaged the plane in the beginning of her trip. After repairs were made at Lockheed in Burbank, Ca. she was ready for another try, this time traveling west to east. “I have a feeling that there is just about one more good flight left in my system, and I hope this is it,” she said.

Bob Dylan’s brush with the law was a peaceful one. After all, he is a peaceful man.

He was seen by a resident of Long Branch, New Jersey, July 23rd, ’09, wandering the streets blocks away from the ocean, looking at houses. A call was made to authorities in this most recent “hobo profiling” case. It seems Bob was killing time, “acting suspicious” while taking a walk and looking at homes before his show.

For those who haven’t heard about the incident, Bob was walking around a housing estate and a 24 year old female officer, Kristie Buble, was dispatched to the scene. (continue reading…)
