Choosing a CEO with astrology?

May 6, 2011

Yesterday shares in Lloyds Banking Group fell nearly ten percent.  The new chief executive officer, Antonio Horta-Osorio, delivered an interim management statement that sent shareholders fleeing to the hills.  In particular, he made provision for 3.2 billion pounds sterling to cover possible compensation claims following the alleged mis-selling of payment protection insurance.  As a result, [...]

Bin Laden’s Tragedy – technical notes

May 4, 2011

No-one’s sure what date Osama bin Laden was born on. We certainly don’t know his time of birth. However the date most commonly used is March 10 1957, and there are even some astrologers who reckon he was born at 10.58 am.
For example, I got the following from the Astro-databank website:
Marc Penfield quotes [...]

Osama bin Laden – death of a Pisces

May 3, 2011

It’s a game I love, choosing the worst sign of the Zodiac.  In fact some time ago I wrote a whole article about the sign Taurus, and why it’s so incredibly nasty.  Yet nasty isn’t quite the same as evil, and I’ve got a hunch that Pisces is the worst of the lot.
Looking  back at [...]

Final Roundup: December 20 to December 26

December 19, 2010

This is my final article, as I’ve decided to wind the website down.
The reason?  I’m giving up astrology, at least in a public and professional sense.  It’s a hard habit to kick, and my last attempt, in the 1990s, was a miserable failure.  Just as I was on the verge of giving up, I got [...]

Astrological Roundup: December 13 to December 19

December 12, 2010

At the beginning of the week, on Monday evening or Tuesday morning, there’s a rather exceptional conjunction between Mercury, Mars and Pluto.  I say exceptional because these conjunctions happen so close together.
So here’s the situation on Tuesday, using Greenwich Mean Time:
4.05 am Mercury conjunct Pluto.
4.10 am Mercury conjunct Mars.
4.15 am Mars conjunction Pluto.
I wouldn’t get [...]

Weekly Roundup: December 6 to December 12

December 5, 2010

A busy week, that will be full of surprises.  So if you’re expecting one particular outcome, don’t be surprised if you get something completely different.  Whether or not this is a good thing rather depends on your state of mind.  If you want everything to run to plan, then you might be very disappointed.  Or [...]

Astrological Roundup: November 29 to December 5

November 28, 2010

I’m bored of staring at my own horoscope.  I need some outside help.  I was therefore very grateful when I saw an ad on a reputable website for an astrologer and psychic called Gabrielle.  I clicked this ad, and signed up for my free reading.  Here’s an excerpt from the email I got back:
Archie, our [...]

December Horoscopes are up!

November 27, 2010

I am not a great fan of Christmas.  It seems an utter waste of time and I am sure many good projects have been utterly destroyed by the disruption the holiday brings.  And if you’ve got wonderful things going on in your horoscope over Christmas, there’s a good chance that you’ll never feel the benefits [...]

William and Kate – nice couple, dreadful timing

November 24, 2010

The Wedding Day of Prince William and Kate Middleton has just been announced.  Friday April 29 2011.  It’s immediately clear that they haven’t consulted an astrologer, because from an astrological point of view, it’s a poor day for getting married.
Let me quickly go through the highlights.
The Wedding takes place on a Friday.  This is a [...]

Astrological Roundup: November 22 to November 28

November 21, 2010

I see that Prince William’s engagement to Kate Middleton has been announced.  What can I say?  I could say how wonderfully matched they are, that Cancer and Capricorn are a dynamic but fruitful combination.  Alternatively I could highlight the astrological tensions that exist in their horoscopes, and give a gloomy forecast for their marriage.  That’s [...]
