The Party's Party All were wondering what on earth would happen when Saturn opposed Uranus and now it's known. The planet frequently brings exactly timed events and today fits into the scheme perfectly. Uranus is just leaving John McCain's Saturn in Pisces and with it comes the end of his campaign and the power of the Republican Party after years of domination and corruption. Along with that is economic...

Saturn's enigmatic rings may be much older and also much more massive than previously thought, according to a new study. Because Saturn's rings look so clean and bright, it was thought the rings were younger than the planet itself, which is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old. But using data [...]

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.

Astrology in real life Some weeks ago, entity oniontime pegged me an”outsider storyteller”. I was pretty stunned to be named among some of the other people mentioned and highly flattered of course. But mostly I was grateful to be define. With such a strong Saturn Neptune signature in my chart, I simply have no idea what I am doing or why at least 90% of the time so I was thrilled with the observation,...

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!)

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected a faint, partial ring orbiting with one small moon of Saturn, and has confirmed the presence of another partial ring orbiting with a second moon. This is further evidence that most of the planet's small, inner moons orbit within partial or complete rings.
