Angelina Jolie The third of seven Uranus-Pluto squares takes place today (exact 20/05/2013 23:02 GMT), a major planetary configuration that began in 2012 and ends in 2015.

It’s not easy talking about death or even using the word ‘death’ in a blog title. I tried out a few different versions in the title to this blog article and ended up leaving the word ‘death’ out altogether. And yet one of Pluto’s symbols is death as in mythology P

Donbass Arena, Donetsk, Ukraine Euro 2012 begins tonight with Poland and Ukraine co-hosting the football competition but already the issue of racism has dominated the headlines.  I saw part of the Panorama programme made for the BBC, entitled, ‘Euro 2012: Stadiums of Hate‘, which was tru

It was a strange experience writing your monthly predictions for February and I suspect this has a lot to do with the astrology involved and in particular the planet Neptune. It’s a prominent planet throughout February as it conjuncts the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Neptune is a transc
