True Thanksgiving
0 Comments | Posted by Shelley von Strunckel in Astrological guidance, Uncategorized
America at Thanksgiving. If you grew up with it, as I did, it’s reassuringly familiar part of the year’s rhythm, bridging the warmth of the Indian Summer to nippier temperatures with the accompanying intimations of winter’s chill. (more…)

Doing It Differently
3 Comments | Posted by Shelley von Strunckel in Astrological guidance, Uncategorized
I don’t know anybody who’s made it through the past week unscathed by the potent clash between the precise planet of focus, Saturn, and Pluto, which symbolises both power struggles and the unconscious.
The difference is that those who’ve been keeping track of those two planetary powerhouses had some sense what they were facing. But most were unprepared, so it seemed that suddenly life became about a series of perplexing – if not actually painful – obstacles and a lack of understanding or solutions for them. (more…)

Embracing the Underworld

All the planets are named for gods. There are the Sun and Moon. And then, for about 4,000 years the line up consisted only of those planets visible to the human eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Then, with the invention of the telescope and resulting ability to view the most distant reaches of our solar system, Neptune, Uranus and finally, less than 100 years ago, Pluto, were added to the list.

Everybody adores reading about their sign of the zodiac. There are few things more pleasurable than dwelling on oneself. Well, the good bits. When the astrological profile focuses on issues, shortcomings and lessons, suddenly it becomes less interesting. In fact, many people read only the good parts and ignore the rest. This is too bad, because however pleasant it is to dwell on those admirable character traits, it doesn’t achieve much. (more…)
I was about to wish all you Libras a Happy Birthday – when I realized that some of you may not be entirely sure whether or not you’re a Virgo or a Libra. (more…)
Over the past weeks, I’ve heard from people all over the world who’re feeling demoralised, anxious about the chaos in so many areas of life. Unsettling as events are, understanding the nature of what’s taking place is the first step to exchanging anxiety for optimism. What’s more, because knowledge is power, knowing what’s behind the changes currently unfolding casts the future in positive light. This clarity makes both planning and action far more possible.

Mercury is a very small planet. But it gets blamed for some very big problems. And the doom and gloomers have been working overtime lately. During the past week I’ve had panicked messages from those who’re concerned about the havoc Mercury’s retrograde cycle would cause. (more…)

Serena – the comeback kid!

Astrologers read news stories in with a different perspective than the rest of the world. Where everybody else sees only the events and the figures involved, we see the signature of one particular planet.
And in the fascinating story of Serena Williams’ comeback, after an almighty freefall from the tennis stratosphere to being ranked 140th in the world is all about Pluto, the planet of truth, transformation – and comebacks. (more…)
Astrology is not a profession for anybody’s who anti-social. The minute the word gets out what I do for a living, passionate discussions about the latest gossip, where to go and what to do are dropped instantly and I’m besieged with questions. Not long ago those questions focused entirely on the individual themselves – tell me about ME! But over the past ten years the nature has shifted, and now there are three or four most asked questions, and they’re all getting more philosophical by the day. I think that’s because many people are aware they’re shaping their future and seek astrological or intuitive guidance to clarify their instincts. (more…)
