I was honored to be chosen as the astrology blogger to select the Top Ten astrology blogs for Blogs.com and you can imagine what a difficult job it was to pick just ten out of the many many great astrology blogs that are around today. I tried to select a good cross-section of the various types of astrology blogs that are representative of the great astrology information that is out there, and I wanted sites that are updated regularly because this is important to the Blogs.com folks. I wish I could have sent my entire blogroll!!
So these are the blogs that are represented (in alphabetical order) and why I chose them -
Aquarius Papers – Robert Wilkinson’s Aquarius Papers was one of the first astrology blogs, and looks at astrology from a spiritual perspective. Aquarius Papers is full of great astrological information and wisdom about living a life with a spiritual focus.
Astrotabletalk is written by Dharmaruci Goddard, my Glastonbury compadre. Astrotabletalk is the blog that is the most like Astrological Musings in its mix of political, personal, and cultural astrology.
Big Sky Astrology Blog offers up the wit and wisdom of April Elliot Kent. April’s sense of humor and lighthearted look at life is infectious and smart, and her website is beautiful and fun to visit.
Collaborate with Fate comes from Kathryn Cassidy, also in the UK. Kathryn has a fascinating eye for astrological symbolism that connects the dots in ways that are innovative and fresh.
Elsa Elsa advice blog. What can you say about Elsa! She’s simply awesome, and relentless in her promotion of the astrology blogosphere. Elsa gives really good advice,tells it exactly like it is, and has created a wonderful community.
Gryphon Astrology Blog. Nina Gryphon is a traditional astrologer (while I’m considered a “modern” astrologer), and while she and I don’t agree on everything I think she is one of the best traditional astrologers around. Plus her blog is gorgeous. If you like Nina’s blog, be sure to check out Chris Brennan’s
Horoscopic Astrology blog as well.
Learning Curve on the Ecliptic. Unlike the rest of us Twilight isn’t a professional astrologer, but she offers consistently interesting posts on the world around us and how astrological connections, as she says, “permeate everything.”
Nancy’s Political Astrology Blog. Nancy’s blog offers up great political analysis from a decidedly liberal slant, and the comment stream is nearly as interesting as the articles. (If you prefer a conservative viewpoint you’re out of luck – there are no political astrology blogs that veer to the right.) If you like Nancy’s Blog don’t miss
Astroworld, and
AstroPolitics, two more great political astrology sites.
Neith Net. Neith is such a lovely person (my fellow Libra!), and this blog has a very personal approach to planetary events. She has a couple of other blogs too, but this is still my favorite.
Raging Universe. For beautiful graphics, poetry, glorious language and astrological dazzle, nothing beats Raging Universe by the mysterious JM. A feast for the senses!
All of the sites in my blogroll in the sidebar have been hand-picked by me to be the best astrology blogs on the web. Though they may not have made it into the Top Ten, each one is worth a look!

Just have a question when are you consider a cusp, such as I was born on July 22, the last day of Cancer, but sometime I feel like I have too signs like Cancer/Leo… But How does that work????

Hi Lynn! Congrats on landing the blogs.com gig! Thanks for the shoutout for AquariusPapers.com and your description of the work. And thanks to Spirit that it’s a new era for America and the world!

WOW!! Thank you so much, Lynn! Between you and Elsa all our boats are steadily rising!
Yes, do read Robert’s post on Obama, DR’s latest and Nancy’s. I have to say it is a complete joy to watch our president elect in action. The man is so disciplined, organized and bright. We are privileged to have this opportunity to see history being made.
Congrats Lynn! You deserve the honor of being chosen by Blogs.com.
Cheers!

Lynn, I’m here!!! Thank you so so much. Being part of the best is ambrosia to an Aries rising!
Congratulations to you, too, and thanks for your amazing and valuable work for this hapless human community that needs celestial info, inspiration, and some good times. Btw, you were one of the first to call it for Obama and I believed you!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!!! I have made a conscious choice to take a few days and post on other stuff other than politics. To clear my own brain out if nothing else! Then I’ll post links to these other excellent Obama profiles.
And for Yariceth, who writes “Just have a question when are you consider a cusp, such as I was born on July 22, the last day of Cancer, but sometime I feel like I have too signs like Cancer/Leo… But How does that work????” and to others with questions about cusps:
Because every year the day and time at which the Sun changes signs shifts, those who were born around the 21st through 25th may be one sign or the other. This is true not only of the Sun sign, but also any other planet and also the Ascendant and Midheaven.
It’s been my experience that if a planet or angle is at the last degree or maybe two of a sign the traits of the previous sign will bleed into the next and you’ll get a combination of effects. Once you’re into the next sign you’re fully into that sign.
But you have to also remember that there are other planets other than just the Sun sign. So you may have Leo rising, or Mercury in Leo, or the Sun in the Fifth House which is ruled by Leo, all of which will add the Leo quality to your personality.

Good heavens – thanks, Lynn! Guess I’d better update more often, eh?

Good luck on your blog spot. some good traditional astrological sites mentioned. caution though on any emphasis to the political sites. They are more political than astrological and tend to misuse the astrology to justify and expouse a certain narrow political view. I am a practioner who prefers clean interpretations and forecasting rather than reading the constant trumpeting by the heavy handed political junkies about why their own annointed political royalty will save the world. The political sites are getting out of hand and end up pushing the practice too far into the realm of propaganda. It does no justice to truth in the process.

Lynn: Have you had a chance to see the wonderful new fiction book with a base in astrology. This author has really done some homework and created a really fun read. I understand that this is the first book he has written and is one of a trilogy! I am really looking forward to the next installment. He is also trying to get notice on the Wake Up Celebrity Author contest for new authors. My vote is already cast. Maybe you and your followers would be willing to check it out and support a newbie.
