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 [...]

Anyone could see she was a queen. That’s why they wanted to hurt her. She was born with the Sun and Moon in the royal sign, Leo, and Leo Rising. She emanated light. That’s why they wanted to snuff her out. Several Leo women I’ve met were abused as children. I have wondered if [...]

I was so pleased when astrologer Anne Whitaker agreed to chat with me about the massive cosmic shifts that we are experiencing. She joined me in the Salon and this video is of the first hour of our conversation. After I stopped the recording, for privacy reasons, we went on to expand further [...]

Once upon a time, Neptune tore away a gossamer curtain, and revealed a secret world of demons. We saw them sitting around their laden table, gorging themselves, slavering, dribbling, doing things so unspeakable that our hearts stopped for a moment; some of us turned to stone. None of us will [...]

How do you deal with the Inquisition, the Nazis, ISIS, the secret police, the occupiers, the forces of oppression, the slave catchers, ICE? What if they come knocking on your door? Many of our ancestors had to answer this same question, and many people around the world right now. And the [...]

This essay came with this month’s horoscopes on 1 October. I’ve adjusted it slightly because — events, darling. This month’s illustrations were details of roses, which in themselves combine perfect order and disorder. A pair of scales, the symbol for Libra, has also [...]

It’s Taurus Season, and another month in this tumultuous spring that’s sweeping us all into the future. Hold on to your hats, grab your umbrella, swizzle your sonic screwdriver, and away we go. If you prefer to listen, here is the Astrology Talk website. The Lilith in Scorpio video [...]

This year it’s going to be very hard to know what to hold on to and what to let go, who to rely on and who will vanish, how to move forward or when to stand still in this year of change and change about. This is because all the planets are changing signs, with […]

Solstice blessings from the shed.  

Greetings from this corner of our beautiful blue planet to your place on earth. Let’s, for a moment, consider that in this vast universe of possibility we may have landed in paradise. It’s our nurturing, nourishing or cherishing of that paradise that seems to be a bit of an issue. [...]

In May 1941, Germany and Japan were winning the war. Britain and her fraying empire were alone. More than half the population of Europe was under Nazi control. The Luftwaffe was decimating British cities. Rommel, the “Desert Fox”, and his seemingly unbeatable Panzers were storming across North [...]

“You are the universe in ecstatic motion.” — Rumi At Iftar a couple of days ago, I found myself sitting next to an Anglican vicar. As we waited to eat our dates, we talked about god and vocation, and astrology as enchantment. She told me that a decade ago, she’d had a [...]

They floated by in the night, a romantic vision of young love. She sat sidesaddle and held his waist; her feet crossed, elegant black mules outlined in rhinestones shone in the dark. He wore a charcoal suit, and peddled both of them effortlessly up the hill into the diffusion of misted orange [...]

This year’s great cosmic shift — the move of Pluto into Aquarius — has already caused much hammering of keyboards, bursting of brain cells and copious words to be spilled across the internet. Here’s what you need to know. • Pluto will be in Aquarius from 20 January [...]

Well, Pluto, Lord of Transformation and dweller in the outer reaches of our solar system, is approaching his next entry into the sign of systems, Aquarius — and everything is going to change. Mind you, this is a process… Sally and I decided to look back at the chart of someone born [...]

The term “cosmic marriage” is one that astrologers love to bandy about. But what does it actually mean — and is it as wonderful as it sounds? Sally and I looked at some famous examples, and discuss some more… Things may not be quite what they seem. Here’s a link [...]

  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 [...]

  Mercury, the planet of communications, speed and thought turns retrograde on 23 August. This is his third retrograde of 2023 — first in Capricorn, then Taurus, now Virgo. There will be another in December. All are in practical earth signs, which means this most the rethinking or [...]

It’s a strange month, full of nostalgia for other Augusts, even ones you never knew. We are cupped between two bright harvest Moons — on 1 August and 31 August in the final signs of the Zodiac, Aquarius and Pisces, bringing us to the halfway mark of the astrological year at the end of the […]
