I was delighted to hear a man speaking the language of the planet Pluto. You can hear it on a clip from a documentary made by Patrick Moore in 1969. I do not think the man speaking it was an impostor. He no doubt thought it was the language of Pluto. It’s not so long, only 300 [...]
My eye on the sky I was writing the daily forecasts ahead and while the exact square between Saturn and Pluto takes place on November 16, 2009, another day to watch is the 12th. On the 12th, the Moon will conjunct Saturn and square Pluto bringing this whole business home, at a depth that cannot be fathomed. If you happen to be one of the people who have planets @ the very early degrees of the Cardinal...

This is a beautiful color illustration of our solar system split up into 48 puzzle pieces. All planets (including Pluto just like we learned!), sun, and moon are included and clearly labeled. It is made of [...]
I just watched V tonight, and I gotta say I enjoyed it. But, should the unthinkable occur and aliens do actually arrive on Earth, I'd like to take this opportunity to list the warning signs for them being our oppressors, not benefactors. 1) They speak our languages perfectly. The US only becomes concerned about whether or not it has enough funny-language-speaking translators when it's engaged in a...
Published by WallStreetWeather.net When a planet gives the appearance of being stationary in the sky from Earth’s vantage point its energies are more pronounced. Neptune represents illusion, idealism, euphoria, panic, creativity, and the world of dreams. Neptune rules interest rates, inflation, bubbles, credit, oil, and fraud. Neptune is stationary October 29 to November 10 as it changes direction...
Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/K.Su (Univ. of Arizona) About this image: NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured this infrared image of a giant halo of very fine dust around the young star HR 8799, located 129 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The brightest parts of this dust cloud (yellow-white) likely come from the outer cold disk similar to our own Kuiper belt (beyond Neptune's orbit). The...

Astrology in real life Sorry I’ve been scarce. Nothing is wrong, I can tell you that. Matter of fact I don’t know that things have ever been “righter” in my life. A few things have happened. One, I got married. This left me with a lot busy work changing my name and stuff. I am pretty through this or at least have things in process. Second, my ruling planet changed signs. (...)...
Hey, well done Lonely Planet for ruining my morning bagel by telling me I should recognize the artisitic rendering of Bernini's statue "Rape of Persephone" 1621-1622. "Just look at Pluto's hand pressing into the soft flesh of Persephone's thigh." Yes, folks. We're told to admire a rape scene. Rape has a long and ugly history in classical art. There's so much beauty in brutality...
Astrology in real life The opposition in astrology is the one most intriguing to me. A year ago I was reading about how Uranus was going to trounce all over Saturn and rolling my eyes. The planets were in opposition and the old man was supposed to get his ass kicked I guess. It made no sense to me outside of the fact people have their bias and their blind spots. (...) Read the rest of Saturn, Capricorn...
Astronomy is a great science to introduce to young children because the night sky is always available and looking at it is free. Plus, it might be one of those first awe-inspiring things that causes a kid's mind contemplate the infinite (or at least the really REALLY big.) Obviously the easiest thing to first point out to a young child is the moon. Then you get into stars, and it helps to know your...
Out in the workshop? Upstairs? At work? Killing people in a faraway desert? In Ithaca? Who's going to take care of me? Within the mind bending, body wrenching whirls of the Hellthcare storm are some perplexing puzzles. All year the south node transiting Cancer is around to remind people of the problem of insecurity. Interesting that last Thursday, in the throes of the commotion, the node hit USA Mercury...
February 1930. Clyde Tombaugh, 24 years old and fresh off a farm in Kansas, patiently scans photographic plates at the Lowell Observatory. He finds a tiny speck that turns out to be a new planet called Pluto . But in the 75 years since then, our close-up views of Pluto and its giant moon Sharon still only come from the artists imagination. Every other planet has been visited by Nasa spacecraft, and...
