Alexander Nix, suspended head of Cambridge Analytica, the data firm accused of manipulating voters around the globe, has just ducked testifying before a British parliamentary committee. So it seems he’s a coward as well as a liar. I guess even he would have a hard time explaining the video [...]

No doubt about it: this is a tough and dangerous month. Here’s why. Mars, the planet of war, aggression, action and passion, is pounding his way through the sign of Capricorn. At the start of April, he contacted sombre, stony Saturn, sitting there in his own sign, and at the end of the month, [...]

There’s a lot of tension in the air in April — but sometimes that’s just what we need to make a breakthrough, gain an insight — or indeed to grow. For your month ahead, click here,

Last night Channel 4 news ran a piece in which the head of the data collection company Cambridge Analytica, one Alexander Nix, offered an entrapment and disinformation service to a journalist posing as a Sri Lankan politician. Cambridge Analytica worked on Donald Trump’s election and the [...]

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? I’ll be chatting with my friend and fellow astrologer Sally Kirkman about our favourite [...]

This video was made during the one-day workshop held in January by The Oxford Astrology Group here at Trinity College, Oxford. I took a look at the UK chart during the talk as well as touching more generally on Saturn, Capricorn and the shape of 2018. I note that the comment on UK property [...]

March begins in the imaginative, magical realm of Pisces — place where some get lost, but many find themselves, or their alternative selves. And March ends in crackling, zingy Aries. We’re all going from soaking wet to hair on fire — exciting! To read your horoscope, click here.

This, from the King James version of the Bible, should probably be framed and on every astrologer’s  wall. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is […]

(Victor Oliver, editor of the Astrological Journal, has very kindly asked me to write a column loosely about “fashion”. I’ll be publishing them here too.) A squiggle of monobrow, two beady black eyes — it’s a shorthand for Frida Kahlo, the long-dead Mexican artist that just about everyone can [...]

In keeping with the tenor of the end of February, horoscopes this month have an unashamedly sentimental theme. To read yours, click here.

Well, 2018 is quite a busy year astrologically, with several major sign changes, Mars and Venus both turning retrograde and an interesting eclipse pattern to look at. Quite a lot of data is included this year for you to add to your diary, so you can keep track of major changes. Subscribers, [...]

I spent a fun afternoon with my chum fellow astrologer Sally Kirkman last week talking about how the planets look in 2018 for your Sun or Rising sign. We realised that chatting together led us to some interesting insights — including the notion that it’s going to be quite a year for Aquarians [...]

It’s hard to overstate the importance of a company called Carillion to the British government and the British economy. Well, it collapsed today. Like its cannibalised name, Carillion is a corporation made up of the caracasses of other corporations. It was stitched together in 1999 to take [...]

Between January 14 and 17, there will be so many planets stacked up in one corner of the sky, that you might expect the whole cosmos to tilt with the weight of them. Moon, Sun, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, Venus and the Black Moon Lilith will all be in the sign of the Goat-Snake, Capricorn. That’s [...]

It’s been a long, strange trip around the Zodiac for Saturn over the last 27 years, but at last he’s come home. Yesterday, he arrived with the dust of the road clinging to his clothes, in Capricorn, the sign which, by tradition, he rules. Perhaps, he heaved a sigh of relief to be back in […]

We woke up to snow on Sunday. Swirling, twirling flakes, hurtling fast, then fluttering delicately past the bedroom window. The garden had vanished by 6am and by mid-day a soft, heavy blanket of white had covered everything. With snow comes silence. It’s easy in the first snowfall to imagine [...]

Let’s focus on some good news. Prince Harry, brother of the future king, is going to marry a successful, mixed-race, working woman in her 30s. She’s American, divorced and brought up largely by her single mother. Her family is not out of the top drawer, but out of that capacious middle one. [...]

“And that’s why I have to go back to so many places there to find myself and constantly examine myself with no witness but the moon and then whistle with joy, ambling over rocks and clods of earth, with no task but to live, with no family but the road.” From The Wind in The […]

It’s really quite a month for every one of us, as Saturn, the Dweller on the Threshold, changes signs for the first time since 2015. This is a more than usually momentous shift as the old devil is coming back to Capricorn, his own sign for the first time since the 1990s. Oh and there’s […]

Although this is the forecast for November (and we’re more than half way through), this is worth watching because Rick makes some interesting observations on Jupiter in Scorpio, and what it means.
