Leonard Cohen: He’s Your Man

Leonard Cohen: He’s Your Man

Canada’s most famous poet was a man of mystery, mysticism and mistresses. Over the course of his life he enjoyed a stellar career as poet, novelist, songwriter and performer. He rubbed shoulders with literati, generals, filmmakers, Zen masters and Hollywood actresses. Did it get any more eclectic than this? Cohen was born September 21, 1934, […]

Larry King: Walkin’ the talk

Larry King: Walkin’ the talk

Larry King, arguably the most famous mouth in modern America, has been around the block a few times. Often the butt of Methusaleh jokes on Leno and Letterman late-night shows, he has nonetheless strutted his stuff by marrying seven women eight times, and fathering five children. Never mind the Energizer bunny, this guy is still […]

Naomi Campbell: Model Behavior?

Naomi Campbell: Model Behavior?

Earlier this month, super-model Naomi Campbell was again involved in an attack on an employee when she allegedly slapped and punched her limo driver, one more in a series of over-the-top demonstrations of her temper, which Campbell blames on her “lingering resentment toward her father who abandoned her as a child.” Yikes! With super-models like this, […]

The Obama Inauguration

The Obama Inauguration

The inauguration of President Barack Obama satisfied many astrologers in at least one minor aspect – the swearing-in oath, conducted during a retrograde Mercury, was screwed up by Chief Justice John Roberts, such that he felt it necessary to go to the White House later that same evening and do it all over again. But […]

100% Predictions?

100% Predictions?

Someone asked me recently, if astrology is such a well-established science, why can’t astrologers be right all the time? People hate it when you answer a question with a question, so I said, Do you know why doctors can’t be right all the time? After all, they typically go to school for a minimum of […]

Planets in Dignity

Planets in Dignity

Someone in the local (tropical) astrological Meetup community recently asked me about the significance of planetary dignities and their application in the chart. My response went something like this: A natal planet in dignity (own/exalted sign, directional strength, etc) offers the opportunity to exhibit its best qualities, while a weak planet (debilitated, combust, etc) may […]
