May Horoscopes: In the Garden

This May month the big cosmic shift continues. The world continues to be unsettled. Even steady Taurus, where the Sun sails in May, is disrupted by electrical Uranian vibes. And at the end of May and early June, first Saturn and then Jupiter change signs. Saturn walks into fire, and Jupiter [...]

A Prince of Peace Passes

The story of death and resurrection, the end and the beginning, mortality and eternity resonated with exceptional power this Easter-tide, especially as war continues in the holy land. Sadly, the death of Pope Francis on this Easter Monday seems right for the times. It is hard to overstate [...]

Ceres Symposium

I am so looking forward to participating in this symposium about the little planet tucked into the asteroid belt, Ceres, the mother goddess, on 15 June. Finally, Ceres will be getting the kind of attention she deserves. The symposium should be really interesting, since there will be six [...]

Taurus Season: Power & Fury

It’s Taurus Season, and another month in this tumultuous spring that’s sweeping us all into the future. Hold on to your hats, grab your umbrella, swizzle your sonic screwdriver, and away we go. If you prefer to listen, here is the Astrology Talk website. The Lilith in Scorpio video [...]

Lilith in Scorpio: The Apple and the Snake

Lilith, the Black Moon, arrived in Scorpio on 27 March, and she will stay there until December. This video is an overview of what that means in the natal chart and of the meaning of that transit. Interestingly, and in a very Lilith in Scorpio way, YouTube has objected to the cover for this [...]

A Magical Week & More

In the midst of this crazy month, there’s a magical week (well a little longer in fact) when a beautiful cosmic pattern forms in the sky, as Venus, now the Morning Star, turns direct on 13 April, and Mercury turns direct on 7 April. This pattern, an isosceles triangle connecting [...]

It was just that, until quite recently, for a few brief decades, in some parts of the world, we were able to carry on our little lives, listening to Daft Punk, making babies, sipping tea, scrolling through videos of foxes and grannies, planting carrots, dreaming, creating and generally trying [...]

Valentine’s Day

Poor old Valentine’s Day, supposedly a day of romance and chocolate-munching, stuck in the chilly middle of February, stranded between Christmas and Easter, Imbolc and Equinox. You can’t help wondering if this day has been developed as a special lover’s celebration in order [...]

The Birth of Dior’s New Look

On a chilly morning in February, just two years after the Nazis had been driven out of Paris, the creme de la creme of the fashion world crowded into a room in an elegant hotel particulier not far from the Champs Elysees. The atmosphere was electric. A shy, rather awkward, middle-aged fashion [...]

You can feel the change in the northern hemisphere at this turn in the year — St Brigid’s Day, Candlemas, the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin. From the Philippines to Poland, 1-2 February are celebrated with candlelight. It is Imbolc, one of the four corners of the year on [...]

The Year of the Snake

Welcome to the Year of the Snake on this Aquarius New Moon (29 January). Blessed New Year to all! This picture by Gustav Klimt shows the goddess of good health, Hygiea with her pet snake. In both Chinese culture and here in the West, snakes are associated with wisdom and cunning, which [...]

Six Keys to 2025, the Year of Flux and Doubt

This year it’s going to be very hard to know what to hold on to and what to let go, who to rely on and who will vanish, how to move forward or when to stand still in this year of change and change about. This is because all the planets are changing signs, with […]

2025: The Year of Flux

It was a shocking development. They knew that she was the Sultan’s favourite, the mother of his children, but who would have thought that he would actually marry the Ruthenian woman? In the year 1533, Suleiman the Magnificent wed his concubine Roxelana, making her Sultana, the most powerful [...]

Astrology of Now: Out of Hell

As the prisoners pour out of the cells in Sadnaya prison, you can hear their liberators saying over and over, “Thank god for your safety,” the traditiional greeting for someone who has returned from a long journey or illness. “Hamdillah es-salaameh.” And many of these [...]

Cycling through the air, straight-backed and determined, Miss Gulch transforms into a witch on a broomstick at the start of The Wizard of Oz. It’s terrifying and fabulous. Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 classic, owned the part fully, becoming a [...]

These Times: Magical Snowfall

For many years in these parts our winters have seen no snow. Instead of the soft shock of the fall, the fluttering whiteness, the transformations, we had grey skies and louring stasis every winter. This morning, on the day Pluto moves into that wintry sign Aquarius for good (at least for 20 [...]

November Horoscopes: The Wheel of Fortune

So much is happening this month. Pluto changes signs Mars changes signs Jupiter and Mercury get into mutual reception Mercury goes retrograde The wheel spins

The Spectator Podcast

It’s always a bit worrying going to talk with sceptics about astrology, but this interview with The Spectator was lovely. They were very nice people and we even had a bit of a laugh. Enjoy. Here’s how they describe it “When pollster Nate Silver declared that dissecting an [...]

Kamala Harris: Joyous and Responsible

Just as the 1960s were bursting into bloom, on the western edge of America, a scientist and an economist named their new baby after the lotus and the goddess, Kamala Devi. Maybe it was the Full Moon riding high in the sky on the evening when she was born that inspired them, or maybe it […]
