Ask the collective I wish we could have a movie of the month club but can’t see how it could be done. We can compile a list of movies one would associate with each of the planets though so let’s give it a whirl starting with Scorpio, Pluto and the 8th house. These movie picks should involved sex and psychology… perhaps betrayal, double cross, you get the idea. Please leave as many details as you can...

In a post yesterday, I talked about the Moon orbiting the Earth, and the Earth’s gravitational sphere of influence, called its Hill sphere. If you have an object orbiting the Sun (like a planet, say), anything inside that object’s Hill sphere is more affected by that object than it is by the Sun. I knew [...]

Scientists Debate Planet Definition and Agree to Disagree "Two years ago the International Astronomical Union (IAU) elected to define the term planet, restricting it to the eight largest bodies orbiting the Sun, and deleting Pluto from the list. The demotion of Pluto sparked considerable public controversy. Numerous planetary scientists and astronomers protested the IAU's definition as not useful,...

Look at this damn rock shown above, the newly named Haumea isn't even round! Yet she's lumped in there with Pluto which has been sadly demoted from being a planet. Just to rub it in the mythological references for...

My eye on the sky The Moon is in Gemini and with the stellium in Libra and planets in Aquarius, people are liable to be social in spite of the harder, darker energy that surrounds us. This is a good idea because as the Moon moves further into Gemini it will run into Saturn, Uranus and then Pluto… the “familiar by now” Mutable sign minefield. My advice? Go chat someone up.

Discovered in 1930 and proud to be named as the 9th planet in our solar system. That was until 2006 when he was reclassified as a minor planet and made very very sad :( Poor-non-planet Pluto is available to buy in my etsy shop . Smiley Saturn sold straight away! He's all parcelled up and looking forward to heading to Ohio. Next on my planets list is Jupiter - watch this space (hehe!)
