Back in 2002, three young men launched YouTube, in part motivated by a banal desire. They were frustrated because they couldn’t find online videos of the notorious incident that occurred during the Superbowl halftime show, when Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction exposed…

Astrology forecast for January 2013
You can blame it on the coming full moon. You can blame it on the gorgeous storm or the epic dream or the haunting song or the suffering you’re struggling to vanquish. All I ask is that you don’t blame it on the alcohol. OK? If you’re going to do wild and brave and unexpected things, make sure they are rooted in your vigorous response to primal rhythms, not in a drunken surrender to weakness or ignorance. I’m all for you losing your oppressive self-control, but not the healthy kind of self-control.
Fond Farewells: Dr. Star talks about his final column and what lies ahead
“This is the interview I never expected to give,” Dr. Star says at a table in a busy cafe. He is bundled for the cold in earth tones drinking coffee. Dr. Star is a Little Village…
Astrology forecast for December 2013
December’s vibes are deceptive. Challenges and opportunities are intertwined in delicate balance. If we focus too much on the challenges, we’ll let the opportunities slip by. If we use the opportunities to evade the challenges, we’ll leave important things undone—only to have to deal with them at considerable cost later.
Astrology forecast for November 2013
If recent events have had a pattern, it’s a variation on the old dog-eat-dog formula. Progress has nothing to do with it. But an invisible cosmic tide is about to shift. Justice, fair play and common decency will come back into fashion. Impassioned demands for a more humane way of life will overwhelm the soulless, self-serving rhetoric of the markets that we’ve become used to. More compassionat
Astrology forecast for October 2013
October brings a different and more serious kind of turning point than the turning points we have become used to, difficult as they might have seemed. We’ve come through a time when ethics and morality took a back seat–moral and ethical affronts were the problem of those affronted. As for etiquette, forget about it–all of that is changing, with a vengeance. Prepare yourself to be challenged and to challenge others on all these fronts, especially in your closest and most important relationships.
Astrology forecast for September 2013
FOR EVERYONE: We’ve been making important decisions about our lives for awhile. We prolonged the decision making process, partly for practical reasons — we had to get our ducks in a row. We also lacked a compelling vision of the future. Finally, there were important moral choices we knew would be hard to make and costly to follow through on. September will provide the vision we lacked, and it will ask us to make those tough and costly moral choices and be ready to accept the consequences.
Astrology Forecast for August 2013
For All Sun Signs – The planets are supporting our efforts to build a new way of life. They will allow us lots of time and margin for error. This month, though, we need to strike a complicated balance. We feel driven to achieve certain goals. We are obsessed with certain ideals. Certain personal and […]
Astrology Forecast for March 2013
March brings more, occasionally frantic maneuvering as we maneuver to keep finances, relationships and careers on course. And we tend to be affected by each other’s moods more easily than before. Everyone is feeling a little more vulnerable than they should, and a lot more defensive, too. Some soul searching is good, and we do need to worry a bit more about each other’s feelings. But some financial planning and renegotiation of terms will remove a lot of the pressure and prevent excess drama.
Astrology Forecast for February 2013
FOR EVERYONE: February is a tipping point. Scarcely anyone doubts that major changes are urgently needed. At the same time, though, everyone knows that those in power are against the needed changes. In February, push comes to shove. Each of us in our own lives and in our own way will find it necessary to […]
Astrology Forecast for January 2013
FOR EVERYONE—Everything is shifting and it will continue to do shift for the foreseeable future. Most of it is for the better. But this constant shifting leaves us to adjust, re-adjust and adjust again. It’s all about fine tuning. As we develop new relationships and old relationships evolve, we need to keep close track of […]
Apocalypse: The End of the World as We Know It
Doubtless you have heard the wild speculation surrounding the so-called End of the Mayan Calendar on Dec. 21, 2012. Be all that as it may, the fact is that date is quite remarkable astrologically and in a surprisingly direct, down-to-earth, positive way. I did an analysis of Dec. 21, 2012 based on a triple composite […]
