Mary Plumb looks at the charts of Edward Kennedy and his two marriages. He has the Sun in Pisces as does Vicki, his second wife, to whom he proposed at a performance of La Boheme. (Is there a Pisces anywhere who isn’t moved by this beautiful, tragic opera?)
Alex Miller spells out the intricate and highly specific minor asteroids, planets – and TNO Chaos – in Michael Jackson’s and Dr. Conrad Murray’s natal charts and for the day the death was ruled a homicide. Amazing.
Gary Caton writes on the Prelude to the Cardinal Crisis: Mars, Mercury, Pluto T-square at 0° Cardinal which happens this week as Mars arrives at 0° Cancer. The Cardinal-T Square is angular in Washington, D.C. and Venus has just passed the degree of the July 21 eclipse. Gary addresses some mundane events tied to this potent chart.
Robert Blaschke looks to Dane Rudhyar for a key idea in interpreting the ongoing, ultimately uplifting conjunction of these two planets. Robert writes, “…. either a revolution or a legislated redistribution of wealth must take place.”
Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation is replete with Masers, Pulsars, TNO’s and asteroids that portend the event. Guest blogger Alex Miller explains it all!
Food, Inc. is a documentary about the politics of food. Activist and writer Michael Pollan has natal Ceres in Capricorn prominent in his horoscope – and transiting Pluto is helping him get the word out on the politics (and pleasures) of food and eating.
The solar eclipse was in the President Obama’s 6th house of public employees and he wants to turn a much debated verbal goof into a “teachable” moment. With Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune hovering together above us all, maybe he can pull it off.
The century’s longest total solar eclipse is almost upon us. Mary Plumb writes on its meaning and includes links that show the path of visibility, a great YouTube video, and some famous people whose natal charts are sensitive to this eclipse. Enjoy!
TMA’s own Tem Tarriktar gives an update from the publisher’s desk, including an invitation to join us on Facebook.
