When the paths of Sun and Moon cross, and the sky sends us a wink.

Astrology of Now: Heading Into The Storm

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 [...]

What Does It Mean To Be Born on an Eclipse? Astrology Talk Investigates

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 […]

Salon at The Oxford Astrologer

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.

Libra Season Podcast: The Equinox, An Eclipse and Hyper-Focus

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 [...]

Rishi Sunak: The Eclipse Prime Minister

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 [...]

Astrology of Now: Expelling

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 [...]

October Horoscopes

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 [...]

Astrology of Now: Dragon Diarrhoea & an Invitation

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 [...]

In Conversation with Anne Whitaker

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 [...]

Astrology of Now: Stop, Listen, Release

Eclipses open doors. Meanwhile, fleet-footed Mercury, the traveller, pauses to explore the realms of memory and buried emotion; and Venus is still under the hill, deep in fairyland, retrieving long-buried stories. You may be feeling some night magic already. This is one of the most potent [...]

Dominic Cummings: Brazen Serpent

The British Prime Minister’s Machiavelli, Dominic Cummings, is in trouble — even though his “boss” is backing him. The serpentine Cummings is a close equivalent to ex-White House advisor Steve Bannon. Indeed, they are said to be in frequent touch. Cummings’ great [...]

Astrology of Now: 3 Keys To 2019

Here are three of the overarching astrological energies of 2019.

Eclipsing the Queen

Sometimes you just can’t make up the astrology. Donald Trump met the Queen of England at Windsor Castle the day after an eclipse last week. He broke protocol bigly, and in particular he did this. He stepped in front of the Queen, which would be a huge no-no if it had been any old lady, [...]

Astrology of Now: Between the Eclipses

Subscribers to the horoscopes already know that I had my own private eclipse at the end of January: my darling mother died. Here’s some of what I wrote then: “She went back to bed one morning, feeling a little odd — and never got up. Yes, she had a Leo Moon, right in the path […]

Carillion: Death of a Frankenstein

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 [...]
