A Mere Human Among the Madness
8.18.10
I love to write.
When I am in the writing flow, the words roll off my fingertips as if a direct channel between pure inspiration and my computer keyboard has taken me over. My ideas transform into rhetorical passion. All I'm required to do is cordon off the necessary time, arrive with open-minded concentration (and a bound-and-gagged inner critic), and let it gush forth, non-belabored.
It's that 'cordoning off the necessary time' part which has infringed upon my writing practice as of late.
Filling in the Blanks with Retrograde Mercury in Virgo
8.15.10
When Mercury goes retrograde later this week (Fri Aug 20), for the first time since May, he'll be returning to recently-tread territory in his home sign of Virgo.
Because Mercury in Virgo is a master of the practical details, the methodological fine-points and the analytic data, we should expect his retrograde through this zone (lasting until Sep 12) to yield ample revisions and refinements on this subtler level of precision.
And it's a good thing, don't you think, we're being presented a chance to redo our due diligence, considering how very quickly the developments of these past several weeks have come on.
Generational Horoscopes for Mid-2010, Part 3
8.6.10
For your reading pleasure, allow me to present the third and final installment of my generational horoscopes, written to provide a bit of extra astro-insight to folks born in certain years. (For Part 1, click here. You can find Part 2 here.)
I suppose I should, yet again, point out that I have not included passages for all birth years. Why not? Due to the differing astrological profiles, I didn't feel I had especially important or insightful info to pass on for every year. And far be it for me to produce even more words, without any real inspiration, just to fill space, obligation-style.
If you were born in 1970-1974…
Saturn Ties Up Loose Ends
7.27.10
In the 'hot spot' of this momentous mid-2010 astrology, Saturn has progressed forward again into Libra… where, in the sign of his exaltation, he again asks us to look both ways in our commitments to others before dashing off, according to self-stimulating impulse, toward whatever's captured our latest interest.
Saturn-in-Libra's well-considered uprightness, of course, remains in sharp opposition to the emancipatory itch fueled by provocative pair Jupiter-and-Uranus-in Aries… which exacerbates a polarizing split between endurance and radical life-changing discontinuity that's been obvious since 2008 and more intense over these last few months.
Saturn and Uranus, in fact, just recently hit their fifth (and final) exact-peak of opposition this past Monday (Jul 26), once again framing, in sharp contrast, the tradeoffs to balance.
Generational Horoscopes for Mid-2010, Part 2
7.23.10
Here we go with my continuation of 'generational horoscopes', generalized forecasts based on one's birth year. (For Part 1, click here.)
Please note: As I wrote last time, I have not included all birthyears, just those most strongly triggered by the current astrology. What I've written will speak more poignantly to some than to others. If you were born near the mentioned dates, decide for yourself whether the insights apply.
If you were born in 1958-1959…
Generational Horoscopes for Mid-2010, Part 1
7.17.10
It would be conspicuously redundant for me to mention again that we've hit the eye of this climactic astro-storm.
(If you have somehow missed the news, refresh yourself with the latest articles posted here, here and here.)
To assist with personalizing your understanding of what this momentous history-marker may signify, I've put together some generational horoscopes.
Eclipse Slices Through
7.5.10
As I mentioned in my last article, we are now in the midst of an eclipse moment… a period of a few-weeks' time during which the stories of our lives climactically flip from one chapter to the next.
For as long as I've been watching astrology, I've noticed a crescendo of narrative developments at the twice-yearly set of eclipses (usually a pair, one solar and one lunar), super-powered New and Full Moons that conjoin with the Lunar Nodes to forcibly push us toward our most current 'destiny' marker-point.
Only thing is, this eclipse period falls smack dab at the height of the mid-'10 astro-drama I've been hyping up for months now.
