Cometh the moment, cometh the man.  Gordon Brown (20 Feb 51, 08.40, Glasgow).  With Pluto sitting on his Midheaven all of this year and Jupiter about to pass over lots of his personal points in the coming two months, I think that he's about to come out fighting in a way not seen before.  There is nothing dishonest about this man, although his dour attitude doesn't endear him.  He has a challenging Sun/Saturn aspect which suggests conscientious hard work and getting younger as he gets older.  He will never leave politics, and will be seen as a grandee or elder statesman as he ages.  David Cameron (9 Oct 66, 06.00, London) currently has Saturn sitting on his Ascendant, and as soon as that leaves in August he then has a year of Saturn sitting on his Sun.  Not good for popularity, his chart bears too much of a resemblance to Thatcher's for my liking.  I suggest his upbringing and particularly parental influence (Ceres on his Midheaven) is a major contributing factor to his doctrine.  I think I'm right in saying that he, his wife and their families 'own' large swathes of land in middle England.  Balanced on the surface, cavalier ...

Seems like i scared more than a few of you yesterday judging by my email inbox....  look, if it's nice gentle soft and fluffy astrology you want, go elsewhere.  If you want mollycuddling and someone to tell you that he/she will come back and it's not your fault, or that you're going to win the lottery tomorrow or that despite the fact you're obese it's OK to continue eating crap, then go elsewhere.  At the end of the day I realise that I'm out on a limb because of what I do, and believe me I try to be restrained most of the time.  But life's too short for pandering, so what you see is what you get.  Now - to the day's business.  In just under six hours time, at 17.09 UK time, Mars will stand still and begin the tortuous process of moving forward again, although this won't become obvious until the end of the month.  But recent periods of frustration, impotence, anger and exasperation are likely to be shortly changing into more decisive and dynamic forms of expression, and today will be seen as a symbolic turning point.  After today, there will be a clarity and directness ...

For decades humanity has been dredged through war, religions, drugs, GM and other forms of planetary and personal abuse in a way that degrades our sense of pride in both indivduality and community.  Keeping people divided by seduction and debt has been the tool of the dominators for over 5,000 years, but since the late 70's and the emergence of Thatcherism and Reaganomics this has exponentially escalated to the point of such extremes of inequality and imbalance that the inevitable 'bounce back' must have similar intensity, but probably in a much shorter space of time!  Bankers, footballers, celebrities, politicians are the face of this inequality, and to a lesser extent the arms manufacturers, the drug companies and such like.  I used to see global conspiracies everywhere, from tribes through old families to current global corporations and even AI.  The advent of the internet has given us the speed to communicate, but this has also accelerated our ability to speculate and excessively profit.  The coming astrological configuration over late May through to early August, which I've been waiting for since the early 80's, is nearly here.  And the first signs of this are coming through many client's recent experiences. Despite the ...

This week much of the big news astrologically is about Mars.  Look overhead two hours after sunset and you'll see Mars, orange-red, resplendent in the night sky.  He is directly affecting people born round the 20th-23rd of their respective month in a way suggesting impatience, volatility and impulsiveness, and anyone with planets at the start of Leo or Aquarius are really knowing it right now.  There's a sense of frustration and impotence mixed with a growing urgency that could easily boil over, and I suggest we're already seeing this in Greece.  Yesterday i did all my written forecasts for April, and the sense of inevitability I picked up suggests that we cannot stop or even slow the course we're on now - something truly mega is brewing, something not seen before in political and economic circles.  And it's only about eleven weeks away.  I'm looking forward to it, it may be messy but it will be brief, and there will be a breakthrough.  There will be an anti-reaction in early August, but within five months it will be done and the seeds of our collective new future will be sown.  May we live in interesting times.....
