https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS0uS8Tfyt4 Huh. Things are not supposed to suck? For an extended period of time? Really? Yes, really! For those of you that like to follow along at home, get your orreries out and spin the planets into today's position. OK, see how you...
https://youtu.be/glb2U6y-GdU?list=RDglb2U6y-GdU&t=19 The sun moves into Taurus this week, so there's where the theme comes from. Signs are up from Aries, but everyone knows that beef > mutton. The week starts off hopefully with the Moon and Venus bringing the...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsEUcRHlS0w When I heard this live, they used the same drum crashes that are in "The Boxer." It was awesome. As this gets posted, I should be driving home from my first steel/second overall match of the season. As much as I (generally)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95U1Wm5exP0 Would be better if it were actually Bluegrass. Lyrically, the song just works in the genre. Ozzy in general makes for excellent covers or the basis for other artistic works (for you that remember that interpretive dance...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog Blame the music on TedS posting Roxette. This led me down a nostalgic rabbithole of good times I had with various women who were deeply into this type of music. This week the skies are more laid-back. Most of the action is...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlxUnzuMAD0 Ok. Let's get the worst news out of the way first because I'm getting really sick of all the celestial shit that's been raining down and don't want to talk about it. This week we're primarily under the influence of Saturn,...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny6hwUOFvlw It's difficult to say what the worst day is going to be this week since so many of them are bad. Taking them in chronological order: Today: The closest conjunction of MERCURY RETROGRADE and Mars. This coupling of...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvo-bfaVsg0 This week is more MERCURY RETROGRADE but with less ancillary nonsense than last week. There is a rather abrupt transition on Tuesday, when the amplified effects on domestic life fade, then we get a day of Venus/Saturn...
Yes, I know the neighbor is too close. However, I am not as wealthy as You People. So the past few idle weeks have been the skies gathering strength to open up their downpour of utter celestial nonsense upon us all. This week is dominated (of course) by MERCURY...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLxpNiF0YKs This week continues the trend of (frankly) boring skies. It's times like these that I'm glad that astrology is a SCIENCE! because if it was a matter of having sensitivity to astral emanations or some such thing, I'd be...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkoXxbBElOc The stellar doldrums continue. The only thing of interest will be Saturday when the rubber chicken/bicycle horn effect that comes when Mercury and the Moon team up happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNOT3Qr-CXI...
Sufficiently advanced technology may be indistinguishable from magic, but they're not treated the same way by authors. I was thinking about this after I read an implementation of ultratech that was probably sufficiently impossible to be magic, but it really didn't set...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zGf7_YL70M Star status: boring. We get two interactions this week, the alignment of Sun - Mercury - Saturn on Thursday, followed up by Mercury moving out of that and into Pisces. Mercury and fish. What could go wrong? But for the...
It only takes about three miles in the snow to tire her out now. She's no longer a pup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtI1PKFasME The beginning of the week continues the happy making whoopie trends from last week, but with a warning when it comes to an end. Abruptly...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ2X9SANsME Relevant One of the benefits of being an astrologer rather than a basic-bitch stargazer is that the star charts let you know what's happening in the daytime sky. And this week, that's where the goodies are. More specifically...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilGahIwQEQ0 I have been in a bit of a mental fog since the holidays. Not sure why. But I am currently bereft of any kind of creativity; hopefully something will inspire me to put up some music to embed and make this more visually...
(right-click videos to play) I like snow. It's pretty. It looks boss on a clear night with a full moon. It keeps bugs in the ground. Most importantly, it keeps my house cleaner since a certain girl is no longer tracking in dirt. This week is dominated, and I mean...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7jbIJ8ZrJU Hah! More Christmas Music! Really though, it's interesting to hear the less-produced version where attractive women are trying to sing English without being able to speak it. I guess leather straps are currently in fashion?...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CtcscdP7s These are carols I like. Don't like them? Write your own filer post. The thing about Christmas carols is they're carols. They're sung, in a group, with no accompaniment or whatever instruments you can lug with you as you go...
Rye, wonderful rye!
The week's will be modern versions, saving the classics for the last Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlsJD8RlhbI Brit-lady belts out Brit-carol. Some of the harmonies/instrumental arrangement would qualify as "early music" in a different context, but in any...
It lives in infamy. Wednesday is bad for People In Charge, or alternately a Bad Person ascends to a "being in charge" state. Since there are no elections scheduled for Wednesday, I'm disinclined to favor the latter interpretation, but maybe there's a tragic accident...
I hope that everyone's holiday plans and precautions kept MERCURY RETROGRADE under control, and that you all survived the apocalypse of a couple days ago. Today we see the response to that as Saturn returns to direct motion, which... well Saturn is complicated. It's...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX14eXrC9NE I... unironically enjoy this One of the things I love about the internet is it lowered the barrier to entry for people to do cool stuff and make a living at it. I spent a few very enjoyable years as a music major in college,...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6epzmRZk6UU So, this week you need to watch out for the time of maximum wackiness on the 19th and 20th (check your local skies for exact times) wherein The Sun, moon Earth and MERCURY RETROGRADE all line up. Were I modern hack...
