This week I went on Yasmin Boland’s Mainly Moonology podcast to promote Lilith. But first she asked me what I thought about this week in astrology, which led us down some interesting by ways. You can listen to the whole conversation here, which is also an overview of the week in astrology. [...]

Just wondering if British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is going to fall on his wooden stake. Why? Because he admitted in parliament that when he appointed Peter Mandelson to be ambassador to Washington, he knew about Mandelson’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. That was a moment during [...]

Peter Mandelson — liar or “the most charming man in Westminster” — may turn out to be the biggest traitor to this country since the Cambridge Four. Like them, he was deeply embedded in the British Establishment, so embedded, indeed, that they gave him a Lordship. Meanwhile, he was [...]

Lilith, the Black Moon, has finally arrived in one of her favourite signs, Sagittarius where she is free to run barefoot through the wild woods. I have shared some thoughts on a short video to get you thinking. Click on the image to go to the video on YouTube. It’s going to work [...]

No child should be part of any conflict — ever. So far, at least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted and taken for “re-education” into the heart of Russia. Meanwhile, at least 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed outright by the Israeli military in the last 18 [...]

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 [...]

“Why is it we are so emotional about this game?” asked the man sitting next to me, biting passionately into a chunk of tortilla. “Because it is a beautiful game,” I replied, as we watched the black and white ball slide perfectly off the foot of a Spanish player clad in [...]

There’s no point pretending otherwise — the next six weeks look tumultuous. I’ve just been to see Dune 2 on a giant screen — and I have to admit, I was uncomfortable watching a movie about a fantasy war as entertainment, while major wars rage on our own dear, and very [...]

  If you were born on an eclipse, your Sun and Moon will both be close to one of the Nodes, North or South. It’s easy to identify on the chart. The Nodes may or may not be in the same sign as your Sun and Moon. Sally Kirkman and I looked at two charts […]

The October Salon is coming up in a couple of hours. Find the link on the newsletter or the members’ page. We’ll be discussing the up-coming eclipses — and the effects these have already had.

  It’s that pivotal point in the year. The season’s are changing, and we’re halfway through the Zodiac. Libra promises balance and harmony — usually — but maybe not so much with an eclipse in the offing and Pluto behaving like, well, Pluto. Sally and I have a [...]

  So the lusty month of May approaches, and we dance down a primrose path, mantled in green and all that jazz. Also there’s the Green Man, and bluebells and eclipses. And Mercury is almost retrograde in this month of blossom and poetry. To listen to the podcast, click here and [...]

  We put on our green mantles and tripped down the primrose path to May, carolling Loud Sing Cuckoo, etcetera. We also recorded a podcast about Taurus Season. The Green Man is in there. To watch or listen, go to the website and scroll down. Happy Maying!!

  Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of spring Your winter garment of repentance fling. The bird of time has but a little way To flutter – and the bird is on the wing. Omar Khayyam (Taurus) tr Edward Fitzgerald (Aries)   Pale plum blossom and primroses, dancing daffodils, [...]

Yesterday, Conservative members of parliament voted to make Rishi Sunak Prime Minister of Great Britain. He’s by far the wealthiest person ever to have held that office. He’s also the youngest in a very long time, and he’s the first British Asian. He’s also been in [...]

The coming solar eclipse on 25 October at 11.48GMD (2°Scorpio) is one of expulsion, release, letting go. This is may well already be manifesting itself somewhere in your life. It can be good — a release from some form of slavery — or difficult — being made redundant. Know [...]

  Despite this year’s strange weather, nature is still on a schedule as the days begin to shorten after the autumn equinox. The leaves are sere, berries reddening, squirrels squirrelling. It was an eventful summer (or winter), and the consequences are still unfolding into the next [...]

Kate Bush, visionary song-writer and performer, is being rediscovered by a whole new generation, thanks to the inclusion of her song Running Up That Hill in the TV series Stranger Things. For a person born with a Uranus-Sun conjunction in Leo, of course, nothing is strange, and anything can be [...]

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 [...]

I’m so pleased that Anne is coming back to the Oxford Astrologer for more chat. She’ll be in Glasgow, of course, giving us the view from Scotland. I think we’ll be talking about eclipses, and particularly this eclipse cycle. Bring your questions! This is a special event for [...]
