We are living through a period of great uncertainty — to put it mildly. And for many of us, great anxiety. What with the looming food crisis, the energy crisis, the general cost of living crisis, the wars, the far right, the pandemic, the corruption and, most importantly of all, the [...]

  Even though Mercury is retrograde, this is a time for fresh starts. It’s firing up. Sally and I discuss. To go to the podcast, click here. Enjoy!  

The Black Moon Lilith will be making her way through the sign of motherhood, Cancer, until January 2023. This is significant for everyone, of course, but especially those of us with important angles or planets in Cancer or Capricorn, Aries or Libra or probably Pisces. Wherever Lilith goes she [...]

Talking with a client this morning, a rather unpleasant simile for the coming eclipse popped out of my mouth: “It’s like diarrhoea.” Oops. A bowel evacuation is sometimes nasty, but necessary, especially when you’re getting rid of poison. This coming eclipse, on the [...]

This month’s horoscopes are up and ready for your perusal.  The hectic pace of 2022 continues into May. The cosmic weather is unsettled and includes a really powerful lunar eclipse, a change of signs for mighty Jupiter and some rather fortunate days. This month’s live Q&A is on [...]

There are other worlds. Of course there are. We are more, or less, aware of them. If you get down to cat-level and look between blades of grass, a new world opens for you, where a bug is sheep-size and orchids are trees, or look into the heart of an orchid and you are a […]

We are awash with watery energy, leaking across boundaries, flooding the basement, slooshing through the media, washing over the doorsill and up the stairs. We’re not at the high tide yet, though, it’s coming. You may have noticed breaches in boundaries — political (Ukraine), professional [...]

Awed, baffled or frightened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, most of us don’t need recourse to astrology to know that we are watching something big unfold. Like January 2020, Spring 2022 will go down as a historic moment. We’re on a great cosmic wave that’s sweeping us into spring [...]

Venus and her lover Mars meet quite often — at least once a year — but usually their trysts are brief, a matter of a few days at most. Perhaps that’s because their meetings are illicit, since Venus was, of course, officially married to Vulcan, the smith. This year, things are [...]

The Sun this season moves from a conjunction with Saturn, the planet of old age, sobriety, rules and hard work on 4 February, to a conjunction with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and excess on 5 March. Both these planets are teachers. Saturn teaches us how to say “No” [...]

A few days ago, my dear friend, Isabel Tifft, wrote to me with some of her thoughts about possible astrological meanings of Sedna, one of the minor planets beyond Neptune, discovered and named in 2003. I found what she said so fascinating that I asked if I could share it with you. I found it [...]

I find myself fogbound in North Yorkshire on this Solstice Eve. Sound is muffled. Time and space are a mystery. The Sun is invisible, beyond the pale. It could be any time of day. Space indefinable: is the bent hawthorn near or far in the white? It is all still. At this most magical time, […]

 

Standing on the edge of a mineshaft that may have revealed itself when the earth moved at the eclipse on 4 December, the taste of brimstone lingers and there’s smoke in the air. Maybe we are hesitant, but is that a twisting stairway into the darkness? Better to descend eyes wide shut [...]

Sex, money, passion or jealousy: take your pick. There’s plenty to choose from this month. Indeed there’s so much drama — what with an eclipse and a Christmas Eve clash of the titans — that you may want to get a seat in the stalls to watch instead of throwing yourself [...]
