You probably know that I do a Q&A for subscribers to the horoscopes (which happens most months). The format varies, and this month, we were lucky to have Barry Goddard over to chat about astrology and shamanism, what Pluto wants, and more. He also answered questions from the audience in a [...]

Happy New Year & Horoscopes
It’s not considered wise to travel on a Mercury Retrograde. But, as you may know, I’ve been in Egypt and I had to get home for 31 December. We did encounter some classic Mercury Rx stuff. I put my trousers on inside out — it was a 3am start — and spent the whole [...]

November Horoscopes
I am looking forward to November, even though we’re surfing into it on a strange eclipsey tide. I’m looking forward to the introversion of Mars retrograde, and the stunning Full Moon eclipse which contains such a surprise, and the presence of Jupiter in Pisces. I’m [...]

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 [...]

September Horoscopes
The Sun is in mutable earth at this time of year, in the sign of Virgo. There’s always something a little wistful about September — at least in the North. All the bustle of August holidays is over, empty ice-cream wrappers blow in an easterly wind, and the children are [...]

August Horoscopes: Start With A Bang …
The month begins with a hugely important conjunction between fiery Mars and rebellious Uranus. This is an exciting breakthrough, a picket line, an accident, a passionate clinch — because it makes a conjunction with the North Node, it may be life changing. The rest of the month is [...]

July: Fireworks and Passion
It’s a hot season — even if it’s winter where you are. Fires are burning in Taurus, Aries and Leo. Fiery words, fiery deeds, fiery anger and fiery desire — and just fire. Americans are experiencing a major astrological transit as their country has its first Pluto Return ever — and it [...]

Flaming June Horoscopes & an Audience with Victor Olliver
Mars and Jupiter are on fire. Venus is feeling sexy. Mercury is spitballing. Saturn just wants to be alone. And Neptune is mellowing out. In other words, quite a few of the planets are behaving just like it says in the books this June. That makes a pleasant change. To read your full monthly [...]

April Horoscopes: The Great Wave and Eclipse Season
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 [...]

March Horoscopes: Surf, Swim, Ride the White Horses
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 [...]

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” [...]

August Horoscopes
August is full of fire and ice, vim and vigour, push and pull — with a crackle in the air and fire in the sky in some parts of the planet, and ice storms in the other. Topsy and turvy it may be, but the cosmic dance continues, and all we can do is try […]

June Horoscopes & Live Q&A
The month of June is upon us and I am glad to report a cuckoo in the garden and roses in bloom. Some tiny, furry Geminis are imminent too. Though my little queen cat’s impending motherhood has made her rather aloof, which is a pity. I’m digressing — but then it is Mercury [...]
