Monthly Horoscopes

Readers write:
“This isn’t your Saturday-cartoon, lottery-numbers-and-call-your-mother horoscope. It’s the thing I look forward to in my inbox every month, the thought-provoking bits of insight I can rely on to make sense of what is going on in the larger world around me. If you want to be led around by the nose, don’t look here; if what you want is helpful, honest — and uncannily accurate — advice, along with some authentic food for thought and reflection, then look no further.. “

“I’ve come to depend on your deeply knowledgeable & wise horoscopes.  Never dreamed I’d find an astrologer with the great intelligence &  wit you possess, let alone your comprehensive understanding of history, arts and the human condition. Lucky me to have found you!”

“Like weather reports for the soul, your horoscopes have consistently prepared me for the month ahead, and I’ve often been dragged out of the doldrums by realising it’s the astrological conditions that I’m labouring under, rather than some inherent character flaw coming to the fore. Your accompanying illustrations are lovely, and include fine art, photography and artefacts, superbly curated from ancient and modern culture.”

 

About May

….Ask of her, the mighty mother:
Her reply puts this other
Question: What is Spring?—
Growth in every thing—

Flesh and fleece, fur and feather,
Grass and greenworld all together;
Star-eyed strawberry-breasted
Throstle above her nested

Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin
Forms and warms the life within;
And bird and blossom swell
In sod or sheath or shell.

All things rising, all things sizing
Mary sees, sympathising
With that world of good,
Nature’s motherhood….

Gerard Manley Hopkins

 

The changes continue this month — with an eclipse, Pluto turning retrograde, and Mercury retrograde for half the month. Nevertheless, there is growth in everything.

And even these ((the common hill fairy, the standard elf of folk-lore) are in danger of being banished into the limbo of forgetfulness by the quite artificial fairy of juvenile literary commerce, with gauzy wing and skirts reminiscent of the ballet. It has always seemed to me extraordinary that literature has been able to create wings where none were before, for our native fairies are as wingless as ourselves.

The Astrology Talk Podcast

Here’s my monthly podcast with my friend Sally Kirkman.  Once a month, we take astrology by the scruff of its neck and give it a good shake out. We chat over a cup of strong coffee or weak tea about our favourite topic – the language of the stars.

What’s in store for the month ahead? Which Sun Signs are up? Which are, well, coasting? What dates should you take a risk and when should you stay at home? And why was last month so … last monthish?
We’d love you to listen in. Make yourself a cuppa and join us.
New episode on the 18th of each month.

Gemini Season: Two Heads Are Better Than One

It’s the time of the twins, and we’re just getting used to the changes in the air — Jupiter refreshing himself in Taurus, and Mercury about to skip into Gemini, and Pluto about to slide backwards into Capricorn. Lots to talk about. Do join us. If you want to see the charts, watch on YouTube.
