| Introduction | Hi, I’m Donna Cunningham, the astrologer and author. Not Donna Cunningham, the Florida realtor Or Donna Cunningham, the New England math professor Or Donna Cunningham, the Christian musician. ….although I do listen to the music of the spheres... |
| Interests | I calculate the angles between the planets, and try to help people find their true home in this ever-shifting world of ours. I’ve been at this for 40 years, so if you were born in 1968 or after, I was watching the skies when you were born, trying to figure out what you’d be like when you grew up. Books take a year or longer to write, and article and columns may take as much as six months to appear. That’s lonely work, so the idea of instantly sharing my newest ideas and insights in a blog has great appeal. I hope you enjoy your visit, sign up to be notified of new posts, and come back often. Welcome! |
| Favorite movies | Before I fell in love with astrology, I’d earned a master’s degree in social work from Columbia University, and I’ve counseled people about their life challenges ever since. But social work is also about how we blend with our society, how we’re affected by the social and cultural milieu we live in and how we cope with society’s institutions, structures, rules, and dysfunctions. I bring that broader perspective into my astrological insights by observing as the slower-moving planets pass through the zodiac signs. |
| Favorite music | When I was born, Pluto was in Leo, Uranus was in Gemini, and Neptune was in Virgo. Now Uranus is ≤ around the wheel in Pisces, Neptune is in Aquarius, and Pluto has just popped into Capricorn for a long, long stay. The outer planets have covered a lot of zodiacal ground in that time, so I’ve watched society do a lot of changing and people right along with it. As each of the outer planets passes through a sign, major social institutions are permanently altered, and we’re challenged to contend with those shifts. My specialty has been in helping people to understand and deal with the way the world is evolving while still remaining true to their core self. |
