This July, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune and Jupiter will form a perfect pattern shaped like a brazier, chalice or grail that spreads across the signs between Aquarius and Leo via Aries and Gemini. This perfects around 18 July depending on where you are in the world, but it is already active now. All [...]

The hedgerows are slathered with blossoms as thick as Cornish cream. If you took a bite you’d end up with a petaled moustache and maybe have to wipe it away with a handkerchief of Queen’s Anne’s Lace.  I am wishing you a very delicious May Day wherever you are.  This one is exceptional, of [...]

Jeffrey Epstein raped, tortured and likely murdered women and children. I’ll just reiterate that. “Financier” Jeffrey Epstein raped, tortured and likely murdered women and children. If you were a “friend” — and he seemed to have an awful lot of those [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

  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 [...]

The Full Moon on Halloween 2020 contains a zingy surprise. Now that may be grandma’s white teeth being a little longer and sharper than you thought, but it may be that the big bad wolf turns out to be a hirsute suitor. This is also the second Full Moon of October so gets the title of [...]

This beautiful film from Canada sums up some of the themes of tonight’s hard new moon in Cancer: memory, longevity, the old and the young working together, reclaiming a spiritual tradition… Worth meditating on.

There’s an awful lot of churn right now. You can see it on the streets of Santiago, Hong Kong, La Paz and Barcelona; in the British Parliament and American Congress. And in Kurdistan where “confusion now hath made his masterpiece.” People are in a froth. There’s [...]

This is my piece for the upcoming issue of Infinity Astrology Magazine.  I’m writing this from a high-rise in the centre of Hong Kong, overlooking the dancing lights of Kowloon, which reflect and refract in the waters of the straits. It’s been quite a week here because we’re in the run up to [...]

This month’s podcast is now available at RadioPublic. We talk about how Jupiter’s change of sign will affect each of us, about the grooviest sign in the Zodiac, Sagittarius, and take a look at that pesky Mercury Retrograde plus New and Full Moons.  Click here to listen.

This is my cat Heart, who likes to play a role in all important conversations…

Sally Kirkman & me floating on the Oxford Canal and musing on the month ahead — which looks, well, rather relaxing. Enjoy.

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 [...]

Yesterday morning, you could see the Moon like a great grey coin in the dawn sky, reflecting just a tiny sliver of light. Today she is already in the sign of the centaur, Sagittarius, where she will be utterly obscured at around 7.30 am (UT) on December 18 (tomorrow) when she is in conjunction [...]

“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 […]

I was about to post this piece yesterday morning when I heard the sad news about the attack in Manchester. The main victims so far seem to have been daughters and mothers. You will see that the subject of the piece is relevant to this attack. Keen watchers of the skies will know that the […]

Tomorrow, September 16, there will be a partial eclipse of Lady Luna. You will be able to see this from Europe to the Western Pacific. The point of closest eclipse is at 18.54 GMT. Right now the Moon is already in Pisces. The eclipse takes place at 24°.   Last night, I stood in the garden [...]

This New Moon in Libra (18°) is exactly opposite the planet of explosive opportunity, Uranus. Some of us will be sprinting out of the blocks tomorrow into the next big adventure. Use this energy wisely because we have help from both optimistic Jupiter in Virgo and ruthless Pluto in Capricorn. [...]

Dr Elaine Aron’s book The Highly Sensitive Person validates something astrologers have always known — some people are more sensitive than others. Dr Aron puts this figure at about 20% of the population. In other words, it’s perfectly normal, but sensitivity is not always [...]
