The podcast with Sally is up a little late this month, because I had no voice for a while. As you will hear, I’m only just getting it back. We had an interesting discussion about the Taurus-Scorpio axis, Jupiter going into Aries and more. Here’s a link to the home page where you [...]

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.

Astrology of Now: Angels, Ghosts & Other Worlds
There are other worlds. Of course there are. We are more, or less, aware of them. If you get down to cat-level and look between blades of grass, a new world opens for you, where a bug is sheep-size and orchids are trees, or look into the heart of an orchid and you are a […]

March Horoscopes: Surf, Swim, Ride the White Horses
Awed, baffled or frightened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, most of us don’t need recourse to astrology to know that we are watching something big unfold. Like January 2020, Spring 2022 will go down as a historic moment. We’re on a great cosmic wave that’s sweeping us into spring [...]

The Invasion of Ukraine
This morning, at 5am Ukraine time, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This is a very serious moment. A major nuclear power attacks a sovereign neighbour. Here is the chart. It bears unsettling resemblance to the chart of the first shots of WW2 (1 Sep [...]

Astrology of Now: Sizzle, Sizzle
Venus and her lover Mars meet quite often — at least once a year — but usually their trysts are brief, a matter of a few days at most. Perhaps that’s because their meetings are illicit, since Venus was, of course, officially married to Vulcan, the smith. This year, things are [...]

Midwinter
I find myself fogbound in North Yorkshire on this Solstice Eve. Sound is muffled. Time and space are a mystery. The Sun is invisible, beyond the pale. It could be any time of day. Space indefinable: is the bent hawthorn near or far in the white? It is all still. At this most magical time, […]
