Articles

Hundreds of articles are contained within this archive on politics and people, music and film, celebrities and culture, history and social issues: all through the lens of astrology, of course. Also there are articles here on all aspects of astrology from asteroids to zero. Most of them are written by me, Christina Rodenbeck, astrologer and writer, expert and enthusiast. There are a handful of outstanding guest posts though, which I highly recommend.

Astrology of Now: The Time of Monsters

Once upon a time, Neptune tore away a gossamer curtain, and revealed a secret world of demons. We saw them sitting around their laden table, gorging themselves, slavering, dribbling, doing things so unspeakable that our hearts stopped for a moment; some of us turned to stone. None of us will [...]

Lilith in Sagittarius: Rebel or Cult Leader?

Lilith, the Black Moon, has finally arrived in one of her favourite signs, Sagittarius where she is free to run barefoot through the wild woods. I have shared some thoughts on a short video to get you thinking. Click on the image to go to the video on YouTube. It’s going to work [...]

Understanding the Summer’s Grail Astrology

This July, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune and Jupiter will form a perfect pattern shaped like a brazier, chalice or grail that spreads across the signs between Aquarius and Leo via Aries and Gemini. This perfects around 18 July depending on where you are in the world, but it is already active now. All [...]

Salon: Magnificent Humanity

At this month’s Salon we discussed the future, using the Pope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a way in to thinking about how to approach the incredible pattern of planets this summer. This led to discussion of inequality, the effects of the 2008 banking crisis and much more. To [...]

The Summer’s Cosmic Flowering discussed at the May Salon

Click the image to go to the YouTube video. At this month’s Salon we focused on Uranus in Gemini, and what it’s been feeling like over the last couple of weeks since the planet of electricity shimmied into the first air sign. I told some stories to members of the Salon, and they [...]

Beltane Greetings

The hedgerows are slathered with blossoms as thick as Cornish cream. If you took a bite you’d end up with a petaled moustache and maybe have to wipe it away with a handkerchief of Queen’s Anne’s Lace. I am wishing you a very delicious May Day wherever you are. This one is exceptional, of [...]

April’s Salon: The Pope, Water and Space

This is the first 20 minutes of the member’s salon in which I discuss the chart of Pope Leo, water wars and space — some of the themes of current astrology. During the Salon, we go the news that Orban lost — which was great! The Salon is actually about an hour and a half, [...]

Chiron as an Initiating Magus, Amy Winehouse as Lilith

This week I went on Yasmin Boland’s Mainly Moonology podcast to promote Lilith. But first she asked me what I thought about this week in astrology, which led us down some interesting by ways. You can listen to the whole conversation here, which is also an overview of the week in astrology. [...]

Jeffrey Epstein: Black Hole

Jeffrey Epstein raped, tortured and likely murdered women and children. I’ll just reiterate that. “Financier” Jeffrey Epstein raped, tortured and likely murdered women and children. If you were a “friend” — and he seemed to have an awful lot of those [...]

Virginia Giuffre: Righteous Revenge

Anyone could see she was a queen. That’s why they wanted to hurt her. She was born with the Sun and Moon in the royal sign, Leo, and Leo Rising. She emanated light. That’s why they wanted to snuff her out. Several Leo women I’ve met were abused as children. I have wondered if [...]

Fire Horse: A Year of Living Dangerously

The Chinese Year of the Fire Horse officially began at the New Moon on 17 February, which also happened to be a solar eclipse. At the same time, the god of horses, Neptune, rears and strikes sparks at the very start of the Western zodiac — 0° Aries, ready to gallop into the future. On […]

The Salon: Leave The Past Behind

I was so pleased when astrologer Anne Whitaker agreed to chat with me about the massive cosmic shifts that we are experiencing. She joined me in the Salon and this video is of the first hour of our conversation. After I stopped the recording, for privacy reasons, we went on to expand further [...]

Keir Starmer: Toast?

Just wondering if British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is going to fall on his wooden stake. Why? Because he admitted in parliament that when he appointed Peter Mandelson to be ambassador to Washington, he knew about Mandelson’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. That was a moment during [...]

Peter Mandelson: Pants on Fire

Peter Mandelson — liar or “the most charming man in Westminster” — may turn out to be the biggest traitor to this country since the Cambridge Four. Like them, he was deeply embedded in the British Establishment, so embedded, indeed, that they gave him a Lordship. Meanwhile, he was [...]

Mark Carney: Vision

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has had a hell of a Saturn Return. He became the leader of his country, while standing up to his unruly southern neighbour, pivoted Canada’s alliances, and just last week delivered one of the most important 15-minute speeches of the decade. Carney is [...]

Astrology of Now: Fear and Cruelty

How do you deal with the Inquisition, the Nazis, ISIS, the secret police, the occupiers, the forces of oppression, the slave catchers, ICE? What if they come knocking on your door? Many of our ancestors had to answer this same question, and many people around the world right now. And the [...]

Stern Saturn and idealistic Neptune met in the 20th century in just three signs at approximately 35-year intervals. Each time, there was a paradigm shift for Russia. 1917—By February, more than 9 million had been killed in the war; famine scratched at the civilian population as the government [...]

Zohran Mamdani, the charming (Libra), charismatic (Leo Rising) new mayor of New York is, well, NEW — in so many ways. As you know, we are all at a moment of massive change as the big outer planets bounce back and forth between 1° and 29° of several different signs, changing the world, [...]

The Fall of the East Wing

—————————— From East Wing Magazine “If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” — Betty Ford —————————— It was bad enough when they paved over the Rose Garden, but the destruction of the East Wing of the White House by a wrecking crew is just [...]

Why India Worships Shahrukh Khan

If you’ve never been to India, it’s hard to explain just how important Shahrukh Khan is. He is a V, V, V, VIP. Imagine someone who has the film star status of George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt rolled into one, who has the common touch of Jamie Oliver, and the business [...]
