Music and Astrology belong together. They are both ancient science and art that use numbers and interpretaion. Both rely on time and timing,beat and rythum,poetry and inspiration, formula and intuition to express specific ideas. Music and Astrology are based on mathematics which in turn is both practical and metaphysical.

The Sun has just gone into the sign of VIRGO.

Virgo ruled by Mercury (8/22 - 9/23)
Are you on "Fire" ? It's uncomfortable for such an earthy sign, isn't it? But, molten lava will run on time. Question is: Are you willing to receive each crevice to be filled with every whim and fancy? Because, this is your time, ready or not! You are one of the fortunate suns (sic) now. Do not argue. Fire in Earth is indisputably creative. The thing to remember is to wear protective (designer) sun-block and gear, while watching the flames of inspiration blaze! This new moon cycle may find you surrounded (surround sound) by many new and unusual beats.If it gets scary simply slide those shades securely onto the bridge of your nose and tilt your chin up. Then turn up the volume on * "Take a Good Look at My Good Looks". Happy Birthday, Hot-stuff.

Libra ruled by Venus (9/23 - 10/24)
All that inner pushing and pulling, all that outer stopping and going, traveling and standing still may leave some Scales lopsided. Falling off a balance beam can actually teach the precision needed to stay graceful longer. The beginning of "Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano" (New York Dolls) says:" .... didn't want to be no artist. I'm a dancing, singing work of art..." Listen to the whole song. You personify this song, now and into the near future. This is one of the most delicate times of your year. Continue to keep your confidence up by feeding your head and your soul and yes, your body. The magical,poetic times ahead could start today.

Scorpio ruled by..... O I dunno...the 'dwarf planet' Pluto? (10/24 - 11/23)
It seems your revered status has been diminished at this time. Your ruling planet Pluto has been de-classified. The astronomers ( eh-em , not astrologers) don't seem to have legitimate categories handy so they're making some up. Sound familiar? Scorpio WAS ONCE ruled by Mars. And although that ruler-ship didn't encompass all your nuance it was adequate. Go back. Listen to "True" by Spandau Ballet. Be true to yourself. '....i know that much is true...'

Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter (11/23 - 12/22)
O lucky, cranky challenged you. This new moon is throwing several whole notes into your usual 4/8 timing. L E T It S L O W you down. For awhile. Get calm. What you perceive as threat and complication is actually just a normal cycle meant to balance things out. Sounds like..."Brahms meets Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" (shrug) You' ll be alright. Ignore all but the real love. You know where it is!

Capricorn ruled by Saturn (12/22 - 1/21)
Convention is supposed to be your norm but with Neptune transiting your ruling planet you may feel up to playing a few unexpected tricks on some unsuspecting players. Be careful. There's more than a few eyes on you albeit out of focus. It isn't that the people around you think you incapable. They just don't believe you'll Do It. O my. Ringo Starr's voice singing "Why Don't They Do It in the Road" (Beatles) just popped into my head. Now, there's an idea you can bite down on. And, You Caps. are the ones in the road.

Aquarius ruled by Uranus (1/21 - 2/20)
If everybody would just stop pressuring you maybe you wouldn't be screaming. Well, that isn't entirely true, is it? I mean about the screaming part. The first track from the New York Dolls new CD is named"We're All in Love". It starts out sounding like Blue Oyster Cult meeting up with Mick Jagger in 1980's. The words are an amazing array of lyrical talent put to a music gathered from the past and brought into the future. Let's skip the present for now. You would do well to take that advise.

Pisces ruled by Neptune: (2/21 - 3/22)
AS a new friend and accurate representative of Pisces recently said... ' I have entered into the Hell that is August.' ( For you August born babies; There is no offense where none is taken.) Everything on Earth, and in Astrology, including every planet, sign, and degree has it's polar opposite. This is your opposing time, Pisces. So..... although the global warming feels as though it's closing in on your beach. GO to the beach. Swim. When undercurrent reminds you of ancient songs you thought you never knew, then go back to land. While you're drying turn on "Plenty of Music" (New York Dolls). The words and soulful melody will put your mind back in place. It is NOT the time to push for anything.

Aries ruled by Mars: (3/23 - 4/21)
You know what 'they' have been whispering about you is true. You have been a bit lax..... "What? Where?" you say, as your head twirls 'round. Well... the places where you allow drifting and oblivion to become routine, of course. Heed the philosophy (at least give it spin) in "Maimed Happiness" New York Dolls".. life takes a lot of finesse ..." And, you have it. Use it.

Taurus ruled by Venus. (4/22 - 5/23)
Aren't you sick of all this crap by now? After all, who do they think they are? Shouting orders over your shoulder, trying to cause catastrophe when it's clear to you that nothing is going on. Couldn't they just take care of... themselves? You wish you where on vacation, even if you just had one. Another one without family? You've remained faithful to all the tried and true remedies of de-stressing. Now it's time to buy the best headphones and turn up the volume on whatever music you damn well please. Suggestion: New York Dolls CD "One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This". Brilliant!

Gemini ruled by Mercury (5/23 - 6/21)
Remember Delight 's ..." The Groove is in the Heart"? (c'mon you know it) You can even sing it. This summer has brought many a "Strange Brew" to your door but you babe, have remained consistently in charge of your life and style. And, what a style it is. Your exterior cool hasn't let on that there's been resentment and compromise tediously stirring inside. Keep up the good work.It will be noticed and recompensed in September.

Cancer ruled by the MOON (6/21 - 7/23)
O? Still singing " Happy Birthday to you...you belong in a bong... you can't stop the party so you think it's all wrong" Tsk. Could you lighten up? Everything's going your way...( and still you crab.) There comes a time when sensitivity is no longer self serving or in service. That time is NOW. Breathe, go off into the corner and count the money you've been holding in your back claw. Share all those sand castles. It's a great time to lay around and reproduce. Play the numbers. Play the stock-market. Play.

LEO ruled by the SUN (7/23 - 8/22)
Think of all the social, entertainment, musical, literary, comical, philosophical, visual references made to the LION, over the past 2 decades. Hang on just a little longer. See your vision through. It WILL happen. Cut out all negative thinking and it will appear as quick as a shooting star. " You're a shooting star. That's right you are." Earth Wind and FIRE. You are about to hit the Target. Blessed be.
