David Cook, Sagittarius Extraordinaire

David Cook, American Idol winner

 While I was listening to the TV this morning, I caught a performance by David Cook, the latest American Idol winner. I will be the first to admit I know very little about the show and have yet to watch an episode, so there was no special reason for me to walk into the room and watch him sing.

He is good and comes across as genuine, with an appealing personality. Naturally, as an astrologer, I immediately wanted to see his birth chart.

He was born December 20, 1982, in Houston, TX, with Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in [...]

Chiron/Neptune square natal Mercury – Poor Communications

Yesterday one of the mares belonging to the people we lease pasture to had to be put down because of complications foaling. It is always difficult to see this sort of thing happen no matter who the animal belongs too. I had to walk through feeling guilty because I noticed something off in her behavior but without a key piece of information – her due date – I didn’t immediately call the owner or the vet. Horses have a very narrow window of time to take action if they are having problems giving birth. If the foal isn’t [...]

Leo and Gemini couple – What Happened?

In fact, the overall compatibility between the two charts is strong with several intra-aspects (where the same planets aspect each other from both [...]

Dependency and Dependable in Relationships – Neptune & Saturn

Elsa P, over on ElsaElsa.com, brought the issue of co-dependency up again, Astrology, Courage and Co-dependence, and after thinking it over, I decided for me it’s more of a matter of connotation. The word co-dependency has very negative connotations for anyone who has been through one of Al-Anon’s programs designed to help those living with alcoholics and addicts. When we think co-dependent we see someone who has given all their power away. However, when we use the word dependable, we have a positive response. In astrological terms, I look to Saturn to describe how dependable a person is, [...]

In Stasis . . . Neptune and Mercury Stationing Direct

Even though Neptune has turned Direct, it will take some time for the illusive One to pick up speed. And Mercury is now at a virtual standstill until it turns Direct tomorrow. I feel like I’m hanging in midair turning slowly but it’s just a strange feeling, not a bad one.

Neptune is stationing within a degree of exactly squaring my Mars, so by the end of the year, he’ll be back to making me feel like I’m off balance again. It’s all about having faith as in the Fool tarot card when dealing with Neptune. Like that’s [...]
