Italian William Parron’s 1503 forecasts could not have been further from the truth, as the famously unpredictable monarch married six times and broke from Rome in order to re-marry.

A Tale of Two Weddings
William and Kate
I had organized a picnic in the garden for friends and family, and to the accompaniment of my three-year old banging drums, speed-racing his tricycle and serving up water-logged cereal in teacups, we watched the ceremony on TV, tears in our eyes.
Most of us wanted to believe the fairy-tale. We wanted these two people to be madly, truly, deeply in love. As we witnessed them make their promises to each other — she stumbling over her words and almost marrying the Duke of Edinburgh and he tenderly squeezing her hand in reassurance — we thought about the promises to love and cherish that we had made, or hoped to make one day.
Somehow it was all the more glorious because history was in the making and there were horses and carriages, robes and rulers, trumpets and tiaras, cameras…. Read the rest of Penny Thornton’s article here.

Astronomy instructor Parke Kunkle has generated a wealth of online and watercooler discussion in the US and elsewhere. He pointed out in a Minnesota newspaper that a wobble in the Earth’s rotation meant that the stars were in a different position – as viewed from Earth – than they were 2,000 years ago when the Zodiac was drawn up.

Saturn Returns: New play on an astrological theme
Every thirty years, the planet Saturn returns to the same place in the universe it occupied on the day of your birth. Its arrival is said to herald pivotal events in a person’s life.
In Saturn Returns, we follow one man, Gustin Novak, at the ages of 28, 58 and 88, as he reaches a series of crossroads with three key women and comes to understand how the echoes of the past have defined the orbit of his life.
An enthralling time-bending structure allows us to watch Gustin over a period of sixty years in a series of deftly interwoven scenes. Moving from wry humour to touching poignancy, this new play from one of American theatre’s brightest new voices unashamedly looks for answers to life’s big questions.
From the 2nd – 27th November at the Finborough Theatre, 118 Finborough Road, London SW10 9ED. Details: finboroughtheatre.co.uk

As you can see from the links here, more and more astrologers are utilising the internet for their work, teaching and daily lives. Astrology is traditionally under the rulership of Aquarius and Uranus, so what better way to get together than via that most Aquarian/Uranian of technologies – the internet?
