I keep telling my partner that I can't help it, but I lack astrological fire. Since fire is slim pickings in my chart, I attract it to me. I chronically burn myself when cooking, for example. My oven mitt looks like it survived a nuclear bomb testing site and is good and charred.She didn't believe me. Not at all. All that astrology stuff is hogwash. So I ask you, how many people do you know who

Robert Currey created a wonderful application for use on Facebook called Heavenly Gifts.If you are on Facebook, be sure to give a Heavely Gift to someone you know! If you enjoyed the app, then add it to your favorites. This helps people who take the time to create these applications gain kudos for their work.Each planet glyph has a meaning beneath it, and the glyphs are original and beautiful.

The Huffington Post had a great little horoscope for Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. True, this only covers the sun sign. What's interesting about this is that on the left there is the Insider Advantage Poll (Pennsylvania) and on the right, a Chance of Winning Poll.Hilary and Barack are neck and neck for the Insider Advantage, separated by only a small slice of New York Thick Crust Pizza.

Lynn over at Astrological Musings had a great post about Barack Obama. You have heard me say before that Astrology is a language of symbols. It is also deeply entrenched in archetypes. The planets all have the names of Gods, and there have been a slew of Astrological interpretation of epics such as The 12 Labors of Hercules.Lynn takes a closer look at Barack Obamas astrological chart, paying

Last year, CERN announced that it had developed a particle splitter which was capable of creating black holes. The announcement stated the black holes were teeny tiny (about the extent of my scientific expression) and disappeared incredibly quickly (quickly being nanoseconds). The ability to study black holes up close was the chance of a lifetime.However, it's causing quite a stir:Campaigners in

The past year has seen a slew of research using astrology (usually just the sun sign) for insurance purposes. So, is it any wonder that now there is one for life expectancy? Interestingly enough, a husband threatens to sue when his wife is doesn't like what she reads!In fact, the report is now claimed to have been just a reminder to people to take care of themselves.

Many people view scientists as unimaginative, stodgy, starched collar types with thick dorky glasses held together with a band aid and oddly lacking any sense of humor or dress sense. Or, perhaps, as the Professor from Back to the Future - scatty, wacky, a little mad, yet somehow brilliant. (I must admit, it is difficult to find a picture of Einstein without his hair tossled.)

Over the past few months, my other half has been going to night school. In honor of supporting the venture, I have been doing weekly study guides with pictures and diagrams.

I am reading The Beautiful Cigar Girl by Daniel Stashower. The book follows one of New York's most notorious unsolved murders of the 1800's and links it to the involvement of Edgar Allan Poe. Mary Rogers was a well known figure in the Big Apple, working behind the counter of a popular Tobacco shop as a Cigar Girl.

Kelly Lee Phillips put together a great documentary about true astrology, it's history and views from some of the top astrologers in the world. Think of The Secret meets The Stars for format.

I was walking around my life, like I usually do on a daily basis, and came upon a man, sitting on a rock with a laptop. When I greeted him cyberly, he didn't stutter, but when he spoke, it was the cutest little stutter you ever did hear. No, that was a slight flight of fancy.

This is one of those moments of synchronicity. I had just finished watching The Celestine Prophecy, and had read the book several times a little over a decade earlier. Then, someone mentioned, The Secret.

My worst fears came to light today. The company I work for is about to roll out a new compensation plan and is undergoing "restructuring". Gasp. Anyone who has been through this, knows how stressful it can be. The calls to finalize were scheduled for Friday, then Monday. Now, it looks like tomorrow. What is this I see??? THE MOON IS VOID ALL DAY LONG!!! That's right folks. On one of the few

This seemed very fitting as I have noticed that a lot of my "entertainment" revolves around movies of series with a darker hidden side. Dexter, to name one. In Dexter, the main character is a serial killer who only kills wrong doers. If this sounds intriguing to you, check it out! It has a lot of ironic dark comedy, which, of course, appeals to me.I will cover some more personal observations in a

Anna Nicole Smith has had her share of drama. Propelled into our sights after her mega-rich old timer passed away, and the following lawsuit, tragedies seems to have followed her. Among them, numerous legal battles focused on getting her money, and the tragic death of her young son. Anna Nicole passed away surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, Thursday afternoon in Hollywood, Florida.Already, the

I often wonder why so many of my site hits come from the middle east. Although there is a definite interest in Astrology in that part of the world, there are also many countries which disallow sending of Astrological materials, such as books and horoscopes, in the mail. In India, Astrology is a part of every day life. When a child is born, a chart using the Vedic system is drawn. Vedic Astrology

I recently did a post on lacking things in your Astrological chart and how they manifest. In a nutshell, we attract from the outside world and people around us, those things that we lack in ourselves.I got to pondering my post earlier about Malachi Ritscher and his self immolation. Self immolation is the act of suicide by fire, usually as a protest. Mr. Ritscher was the fourth person in the last

Twilight hit it on the head in her recent posts about the state of the Executive Branch. She turned me onto a speech made by Al Gore that seems to have slipped the media radar...

I recently bartered on Craigslist for a dead iPod. I was hoping it did not face the same death as the other two iPods I hoped at one point to cobble together. I lucked out. This one had a fully functional harddrive, which is the part I needed to work.

This morning I woke up early. Not by choice, but because the codeine cough syrup I have been taking gives me those short, light and rather odd dreams usually associated with fever.While I was up, I decided I would start tackling the days work.

A stones throw away from Portland, Oregon rest the corporate offices of online Astrology giant, Astrology.com. I have been to their offices. I applied for a position there... twice.

I haven't seen anyone write about all the Scorpio influences hitting recently and their reflection in movies that came out at the same time. In the past few weeks I have seen Descent, The Cavern and The Cave. All three are about caves and hidden things lurking inside. The best one, in my opinion, is The Cave. It had a better script and better acting than the others. Instead of creating a "spooky

Okay, okay, I admit it. I am a smoker. I sit before the keyboard today and tell my dirty little secret. I smoke. I try to make it okay by explaining that cigarettes such as Marlboros and Camels have over 255 chemicals that make them burn faster (so you smoke more) and are very unhealthy. BUT, I, the elevated and enlightened, smoke "all natural" cigarettes. I even go one step further and wow them

I have covered the Antiythera Mechanism in two previous posts. What can I say? This 2000 year old Astronomical Clock fascinates me. I think it is quickly becoming my gadget of choice.The Washington Post has a wonderful discussion the the clock and you can read it here: Science: Human Behavior and the Antikythera Mechanism.This falls right in line with my book review of Arthur Koestler's book,

Ah. What can I say. Angelina Jolie intrigues me. She is one of those actresses who has a true sense of freedom on screen. That is very rare to find, and believe me, I spent most of my life around actors of all types.I have been looking for an Astrological take on this wonderful Golden Globe (more than once) winner. I hadn't posted any until now, because Jeffrey Kishner has got it down on his blog

This post just in from Astrological Musings, the blog finely written by Astrologer Lynn Hayes. Lynn's post is much more thorough than the one I put up earlier:"You may have seen a study by Allstate Insurance correlating driving habits to sun signs. This analysis was done by a Vedic astrologer, Carol Allen, but I have to say it doesn't make sense to me. Aries make great drivers because they stay

Everyone is speculating on the 2008 elections for US President. There are many interesting dynamics that will come into focus the next few months as candidates announce their intentions and party's choose sides.AstroFutureTrends blog is covering different aspects of Presidential hopefuls by comparing the common sense of who the forerunners will most likely be, and the Astrological transits for

Years ago I read that the auto insurance companies were doing a study into the driving habits of various Astrological signs. I have no doubt that Astrology in general effects driving habits. Lee Romanov, from InsuranceHotline.com, has completed such a study over a 6 year period. From this study, she has written a book called Car Carma, which details the results.For years, the insurance industry

In my last post, I told you about the wind storms here. Oddly, I am sure that the Pacific Northwest Meteorologists play twister to decide which way they call the weather. A few years ago, we had a very bad snow blizzard. As I was looking out the window watching the blizzard in full force, a weatherman less than 3 miles away claimed it stopped snowing and was warm and sunny. Guess it was too much

Last night I planned to return home and continue writing the mega post about my personal Astrological journey. I love it when the universe throws a cog into plans! Just as a side note, the post was put up at 2:40am on 12/13. I started that post when the moon was Void-of-Course and finished it during the Void as well. It wasn't posted until 40 minutes later. At the end of that post, I promised to

I have decided to skip putting up a smaller article for a few longer ones. Since it takes more time to put together the longer posts, and I have a regular J.O.B. (and I don't get paid enough blogging to quit that J.O.B... YET) I can not commit time to do both. It's my hope that you take away a little bit of insight from these longer articles that are lacking when I do shorter posts. If you ever

At 25, Nicole Richie has more than most Americans. She is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie and has come into the lime light in the last several years for her reality series, "The Simple Life", with fellow socialite, and on again, off again, friend, Paris Hilton. Out of the two of the stars, Nicole Richie seems to have her head on a little straighter and is very likable.Recently, however, she

His full name is a mouthful, yet flows well off the tongue: Augusto Jose Ramon Pinochet Ugarte. General Pinochet led a military overthrow of democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973. In an interesting twist, it was President Allende, who one month earlier, appointed Pinochet as Army Commander in Chief. They were Masonic Brothers in the same Lodge. The day prior to his promotion,

It has been many years since I have picked up the book "The Sleepwalkers: A History of Man's Changing Vision of the Universe". It was given to me by a very good friend as a gift while I was living in London. Recently, I had the chance to revisit this fiendishly addictive book originally printed in 1959. Koestler focuses on man's changing perception and vision of the cosmology, or large scale

A hop, skip and jump away from glorious Seattle, Washington sits a unique place of learning known as Kepler College. Named after Johannes Kepler, born in 1571, one of the greatest astronomical minds in human history. It is only fitting that this unique place of higher learning should be named after him, being a forerunner in its own right. Kepler College is a Liberal Arts college, and the only

Hillary Clinton is one of those people who either inspire respect and awe, or simple disregard. She produces those strong love her/hate her feelings in others from all walks of life. Currently, however, she seems to be top choice for first woman President of the United States. Let's face it, much of politics is a crap shoot. Do we have the best for the job, or do we have those with the money and

November 30th, I posted on the Antikythera Mechanism - 2000 year old Astronomical Clock. While looking through my local paper today (The Oregonian) I came across a very short blurb about this fascinating instrument. It sparked my imagination even more than the first posting did.First, in 1900, a boat of sponge divers were forced to lay anchor off the small Greek island called Antikythera. It was

At 6 am on Sunday, take a hot cup of coffee outside and look towards the horizon in the East-Southeast. In about 20 minutes, you should see Jupiter, Mars and Mercury rise together. This will be the closest cluster of planets appearing over the next 47 years. You should be able to see all three of them with the naked eye, but around 7 am, as the Sun begins to rise, they will slowly fade from our

A Swiss space expert has welcomed Nasa's decision to build a permanently occupied base on the moon.Bruno Stanek, who covered the 1969 Apollo landing for Swiss television, told swissinfo that for a comparable amount of money the space station programme had led to a "dead end".Unveiling the agency's plan for a return to the moon, Nasa said on Monday it would establish an international base camp on

Sagittarius is the period from the end of November (it falls around the 20th, but like all signs, varies on the date each year) through most of December. Sagittarius is full of joyful glee, innocent optimism and a geeky type of energy that is more endearing than annoying. The energy is light hearted and playful, much needed after Scorpio's intensity and just before the seriousness of Capricorn.

I have looked at many Astrology and Astrology related sites, but this one is jam packed with interesting and useful tidbits, including the charts of over 31,000 celebrities.

When I first saw the musical "Les Miserables", I was an extension student in England. Our group was honored to clutter up the very last row of the nose bleed section in London's Palace Theatre. Most of the other students were Political Science Majors, still very idealistic about changing the world. There was one girl in particular who was very quiet, reserved and the type who always thought twice
