Mercury Stationary Direct at 23 Sagittarius Affecting January, February, March, and April 2024 – Entering A New Land

by Robert Wilkinson

Mercury goes direct in motion at 7:08 pm PST on January 1 and speeds up for the next 10 weeks. This shows a quickening of the ability to coordinate, put things together, understand the whole and the parts, the process and the larger cycles. It is now stationary at 23 Sagittarius, affecting that area in our lives for 3 months to come.

Calling all Predictions for 2024!

As I’ve done the last three years, I’m putting out the call for all your predictions for 2024! They can be serious, frivolous, precise or general. I’ll be assembling and editing them for presentation at the January 27 Astrology Arizona meeting. And as I've done for the past 33 Januaries, I’m also including my take on what's coming in the year ahead. I don’t do standard “predictions” but offer my take on various factors in play throughout the year.

Please consider participating since it’s always a great time with lots of varied views about what is and might be! You can email me, or IM me, or leave your prediction in the comment stream, and I’ll copy them into the master list.

So all you astrologers (and even if you’re not!), if you want, please give me your predictions, large or small, funny or serious, for what you see coming in 2024 in the comment stream.

Tommy Smothers Gets to Play on the Cosmic Television Stage

The legendary Tommy Smothers (February 2, 1937 – December 26, 2023) just checked out. With his brother Dickie, the pair blew the tv censors' minds making jokes about presidential policies, civil rights, protest marches, sex, drugs, rock and roll, and the Vietnam War while hosting some of the most awesome musical talent in history: George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Buffalo Springfield, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Cass Elliot, Cream, Donovan, Glen Campbell, Joan Baez, Janis Ian, Peter, Paul and Mary, Spanky and Our Gang, Steppenwolf, Simon and Garfunkel, The Hollies, and even Pete Seeger, who had been banned from US tv since the 50s when he was blacklisted. RIP Aquarian comedian who the system took way too seriously. (In the original tribute here, I gave you the video of one of the wildest performances they ever had! You can find it on any of the Who birthday tributes. It's the time The Who did "My Generation" on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Keith Moon almost blew up the stage.)

Boxing Day 2023

by Robert Wilkinson

Boxing day isn't observed in the US, but it's one of the better "holy days" of the year, when boxes with donations for the poor are opened and distributed. There are many kinds of boxes to be opened....
