No matter what you think about the candidates for president in the USA, the campaign has given rise to some barnstorming feminist political speeches. It feels like a real breakthrough — a change in the weather. In astrology, we have a “nasty woman”. She’s called Black Moon Lilith, and she’s [...]

Astrology of Now: Righteous

There’s a great deal of political hatred and vitriol these days. Everyone is righteous. Perhaps Jupiter in Libra is exaggerating our differences before getting us all to kiss and make up…. written wistfully. This may not be possible in the wider world. Jupiter in Libra can well have a [...]

The Autumn Equinox

Today the Sun moves from mutable Virgo to cardinal Libra and the night is as long as the day.

Brangelina Back To Just Plain Old Brad and Angelina

What a shame that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting up. It’s a tale of mutable tragedy. Pitt is a Sagittarian Sun and Jolie a Gemini — opposites attracted. Both these signs have been shaken and stirred this year by eclipses and a Jupiter transit in their fellow mutables Pisces and [...]

Fate, Free Will and the Referendum

Last night, I sat in one of the most magnificent private courtyards in Europe, listening to 200 musicians play the works of Ennio Morricone.

Muhammad Ali: Leo Rising

Neptune rules fashion and glamour and it’s been interesting to watch what’s happened since he roared into Pisces in 2011. Men rediscovered their inner dandies; women went kind of dishevelled and started dying their hair crazy colours. Neptune in Pisces 2011 -2025 Hair has gone all the shades [...]

Venus in Taurus: Brooding Passion

When we talk about Venus, we talk about allure. When Venus, the planet of beauty and attraction, is in Taurus, she is in her own sign. Fixed Earth: the sign of full-busting spring in the north, when thoughts turn to what the birds and the bees do. Venus is, of course, the planet of love and [...]

Astrology of Now: Castrating Mars

The Panama Papers

“I want these crimes to be made public”, leaker “John Doe” to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. It turns out that very rich people have been hiding their money in secret bank accounts abroad. Why do they feel the need to do this? Either a) because the money is stolen or b) because they are avoiding [...]
