The term “ship of fools”, as an allegory, harks back to medieval times when it was the custom to rid society of “undesirables”: the mentally ill and other outcasts, by gathering them into a boat or cart and having them taken away. The origin of the descriptive phrase appears to be a book by Sebastian Brandt, 15th century German humanist and satirist. His allegorical poem/story “Das Narrenschiff”…

Here are all the video’s Aries Woman, Taurus Woman, Gemini Woman, Cancer Woman, Leo Woman, Virgo Woman, Libra Woman, Sagittarius Woman, Capricorn Woman, Aquarius Woman, Pisces Woman.
After spending the last couple of years hopefully learning important Saturn in Virgo lessons like proper diet and exercise, maintaining a decent daily schedule and always remembering to back up your computer; we are now firmly in Saturn in Libra territory where the lessons are all about doing what…
Since Thursday is governed by Jupiter, let’s see what the planets are up to, with an emphasis on the planet of bounty.

There’s something akin to magic in the air. I look at Jupiter retrograde on the very first degree of the zodiac, helping us all re-imagine where we go from here. Meanwhile (as discussed in yesterday’s post) Uranus retrograde sits beside Jupiter on the very final degree of the zodiac. These two heavy weight planets bookend the alpha and the omega like benevolent guardians. They’re both opposing Saturn and squaring Pluto retrograde. This energy helps you flush out the past and invent the future by showing you where in your life you need to revise your boundaries. And those boundary issues likely involve the various people in your life - from parents to friends, lovers, business partners and colleagues.…

do you remember what originally got you more interested in astrology?
5 planets retrograde - Re-flect, Re-do, Re-examine, Re-consider?
Uranus is the planet that is often called The Great Awakener. It can also be called the Great Rebel, The Great Interruption and The Great Extremist especially when referring to it’s mundane nature rather than it’s esoteric nature.
The more extreme experience of a Uranus transit would be like a flash flood rushing without warning into your neighborhood and swallowing up every home in sight or lightening hitting you on the golf course. Another possible and common scenario is finding out your spouse has filed for divorce after 30 years of wedded bliss…or so you thought.
The esoteric experience would differ slightly. In the case of the flash flood you would find that the result of such an experience actually helped to facilitate the move you have been contemplating for years but were afraid to make. Being hit by lightening might have…

Prominent Greek painter “Tsarouchis” once said: “In modern Greece you are (professionally, socially) whatever you claim to be”. Laws are very loosely applied in my country. Combine this with the fact that Greece is the poorest country in Western Europe - going now through a huge crisis - and with the fact that astrology renders VERY WELL in Greece - twice to thrice the average wages and in several cases 5 - 10 times the average wages!) then you will realize why so many crafty people claim today TO BE ASTROLOGERS in Greece! Thus, a huge circuit of lucrative, uncultured “astrologers” is dominating the scene, putting aside, marginalizing, calumniating and even intimidating the cultured Astrologers (who are seen as a major threat to these people’s’ interests). Needless to say that in Greece there is no Astrological Federation…
A trine from the Sun in Virgo to the North Node in Capricorn signals that we are moving along well on our destined path after we’ve mastered another step toward Self-improvement, from which we can gain strength and a solid sense of Self. The sesqui-quadrates from Juno in Leo to Jupiter Rx in Aries and from Vesta in Libra to Neptune Rx in Aquarius push us forward on this course, thereby stressing not to rest on our laurels, but to keep the faith and to surrender to the direction the currents are taking us, whereby it is important that we remain dedicated to our higher ideals and thus fair to others. With Mars in Libra forming an opposition to Eris Rx in Aries we have to confront our motives in this regard. While aiming to confidently present ourselves, we must also be mindful…

Venus (love) remains in the relationships sign of Libra, along with Mars (drive) and Saturn (reality). All weekend, Venus, Neptune (dreams) and Chiron (healing) are BFFs, reminding us of what hopes we might have had when we first met our significant other and how we might be able to capture those romanticized dreams again or repair what might not be working within the relationship.
The Sun and Mercury blending energies in Virgo give us the tenacity and focus to get to the bottom of things. With Mercury still retrograde, he’s in introspection mode.
The Moon in Cancer on Friday and Saturday give our emotional responses a softer, more sensitive touch. Sunday, the Moon in Leo allows for bold, courageous self-expression for what might have been difficult to articulate in the days before.
Have an enjoyable weekend, everyone!

From 2008… updated
I showed my husband the 2008 Men’s fashion for spring/summer… the outfit pictured is mild (Check it out) but you can see in what direction things continue to head.
“That does it!” he said. “I am going to have to put together my own show with my own clothes. It’ll be great, P. I’ll have these big pots of molten steel pouring out of buckets as a backdrop.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. And I’ll have all this heavy equipment around. You know. Big hunks of steel. Big machines and jagged shit. Tractors and stuff. Maybe a machine gun or two.”
“I see.”
