The new Moon in Pisces is asking for us to dream a NEW dream, filled with inspiration and hope. Uranus and Mercury conjuncting this new moon will bring exciting ah-ha moments…brilliant and foreward thinking ideas, that will shake us out of our ruts and create fresh and new ways of doing things. These new ideas and new ways of doing things may come as a shock to us, but they will be in our best interest, and will move us foreward, in the right direction. Mars in Leo, now in foreward motion, will trine this New Moon, lending a dynamic energy to move foreward with our new and inspired ideas and plans. Saturn in Libra, opposing this New Moon will bring a more serious and responsible feel. Any new endeavors that we start now may put a strain on our…

Peter van Wood (real name: Peter van Houten) died in Italy with progressed Sun inconjunct Pluto and transit Pluto square Mars soon after transit Uranus opposition Sun at age 82. He played the guitar before he became Rai Uno’s astrologer. In October 2007 he claimed one million from Coldplay because their ‘Clocks’ was a look-a-like of his ‘Caviar and champagne’. The Italian TV-public voted that he was right. Was he? He died before he knew.

Peter van Wood was born in Den Haag, Holland on September 19, 1927 (time unknown). Venus and Neptune were rising before the sun. Neptune is the planet of orientation and Neptune is ‘calling’ (no major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees). That is for the importance of fantasy, art, ideals or beliefs at any possible level. The combination of Venus and Neptune is often reflecting…

It’s a strong end to the lunar phase year, filled to the brim with anticipation of what is going to come next. You have gathered much on your journey through the last twelve New Moon cycles and planted many new seeds in the hope of blossoming prosperity. There have been levels of success; but there have also been times of disappointment – times when you have woken to the Full Moon, only to find that growth has stalled, or completely withered into nothingness. More often than not, the last year raised questions that escaped a response, whilst surprising doors were opened when least expected. It has been a confusing and often bewildering ride where safety and long term survival were challenged at every step. Your heart is heavy and your mind is tired – but there is a fire building…

Now that Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam Netherlands will be exposing paintings of Han van Meegeren, famous for his false ‘ Vermeer’ paintings, it is a good moment to have a look at his chart.
The chart of Han van Meegeren is the chart of a master copier or should we say: someone who was very good at copying another person’s style. Venus, making no major aspects, reflects the talents in the chart. That is pointing at capabilities and talents at any possible level. Venus and Mars (together the combination of passion) are rising before the Sun. He had a passion for a style that was the ridiculised by his critics. He took revenge by fooling them with a ‘ Vermeer’ . That is how the fraud started. But he had talent…

This painting was famous, too, It was a Van Meegeren…

It’s the Dark Moon phase and the last few days of the waning cycle before we experience the Pisces New Moon. In the world of the mystical, the spiritual and the just plain, ‘I want my life to be full of awesomeness’ – this is the time of quiet retrospection and shedding of smothering negativity. With our lady light enjoying the last of her Capricorn influence, she connects with a sextile to Uranus, encouraging original ideas and a unique approach. Mars is stationary direct, staring right into the individuated light or the Aquarius Moon, conjunct Atropos – insisting that you cut away loose ends and any drowning chains from the past. Saturn too, is in this party, forming a trine with the Moon. Here, there is strength, confidence and determination to get the job done. Psyche and Diana have lost…

Fate has been kind with me in the last few months and even during the last year. I might be thankful to Jupiter and Sun which are conjunct to the degree in my progressed chart.

I fear the loss of the new optimism that I now have. I fear the loss of the brilliant new opportunities. I fear losing the enthusiasm and happiness that I have found in my new job. I fear not getting myself a permanent contract.

But we are all humble servants of fate. We are not its masters. I am a humble human being, I am no king, nor am I rich, nor do I have any special talent for anything in particular.

There are many times in life when I have asked for things, prayed for things, and they have not come. I have been eager to achieve…

This is the IPO chart for Goldman Sachs on the day the company went public and sold shares of their stock. Note that the time is 10:39, one hour and nine minutes past the opening bell. This means that the offer had so many buyers that the exchange needed the extra time to sort out the requests for shares of the stock. Therefore the sale of the first share did not take place until 10:39. 

Turns out people have very passionate opinions about this. I was shocked by many of them -

From 2007:

“So did you confront him?” I asked regarding my friend’s cheating husband.

“No. No I did not. I thought about it but then I thought why should I do that?”

I could think of a lot of reasons but it was obvious she had her own thought process so I just listened.

“I’m not going to do that. I won’t do that for them.”

“What do you mean?”

Well after having said I would not do predictive Astrology I find myself wanting to give it a go. I am realizing I actually do use it all the time in Astrology readings. When I am looking at someone’s chart I always look at the current planets in the sky (transits) to see what issues are being focused on or brought to the fore. They often point me to a particular aspect in the chart that may
