The Prime Minister is the Hand of Pluto

Just a quick note to show you the incredible way that astrology is playing out in the chart of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, who has managed to tank the pound, destroy the gilt market, cut taxes for the uber-rich and sink the UK into impossible debt — all in just three weeks. You have [...]

Asteroids Report: September through December

This is just a tiny clip from the latest Asteroids Report, which is available on the Member’s Page. You do have to join to watch the full thing, which I make once every three to four months. This one’s a bit long, so you may want to eat some cake while you listen, or do […]

This Month’s Podcast and The Asteroids Report

This month’s podcast is now available. Sally and I discussed the sign of the Ram, and the upcoming conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune plus we took a look at the New and Full Moons. [buzzsprout episode=’10267376′ player=’true’] Or you can watch on YouTube, and see [...]

Asteroids Report for September and October

Here is a clip from the much longer Asteroids Report on the members page. I looked at Pallas, Hygeia, Juno, Vesta and Ceres over the next two months. Where they are in the sky, what they mean and why they’re helpful. If you’re a member, click here to see the rest. If [...]

Gareth Southgate, England’s Finest

The manager of the England football team, Gareth Southgate, is a diplomat, a tactician, a patriot and a leader. He has brought his young team to the final of a major tournament, eloquently defended them from slurs and set an example of gentlemanly behaviour not just just for his players but [...]

Zoom Chat on Sunday

I am looking forward to chatting on Sunday. It’s been quite the month. I thought we could talk about asteroids because I’ve been doing quite a bit of research recently, but the choice is yours. Bring your questions, and we’ll see where that leads. This is for member’s [...]

Asteroids in June, July and August

Juno, the planet of contracts and marriages, is deeply involved in the current eclipses. Meanwhile, Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, is swimming through the seas of Pisces, and Hygeia, the goddess of public health, is changing signs later in the summer. This 22-minute round-up of the [...]

The Benin Bronzes

Just after the Full Moon, on 18 February 1897, a British expeditionary force breached the great walls of the city of Benin, capital of one of the wealthiest kingdoms in West Africa. An orgy of looting, murder and arson ensued. The city was razed, its priests were executed, and the Oba, the [...]

I hope you’ve already listened to the Asteroids Report on the members’ page. All previous reports are now available too. Just follow the link. My conversation with Anne Whitaker about the lunar nodes is also up for members, including some relevant handouts from Anne. Go to [...]

Asteroids Report March-April

I’ve just published the video on the member’s page. It seems like some of the asteroids are lending some much needed flexibility to 2021. The Asteroids Report is published every two months for members of The Oxford Astrologer.

Amanda Gorman: On Fire

I was wondering how the Mars-Uranus conjunction — that fiery, combustible, dangerous pairing — would manifest on the day of the inauguration. And then Amanda Gorman, Youth Poet Laureate, stepped onto the platform and began to declaim. She looked fantastic, like a queen from a [...]

The Asteroids Report

My video on the movements of the asteroids in July and August is up on the members’ page. Things are looking quite interesting for Ceres, the goddess of mothering, currently at a standstill in Pisces, and Pallas Athena embroiled in the Capricorn affair. Enjoy! [...]

The Best Book on Asteroids

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the asteroid Hygeia and mentioned that little work had been done on the asteroids in general. What is more, there’s a lot of really woolly thinking available for you to unravel around the internet. Most of it is all theory or wishful thinking, or just [...]

Australia’s House Is On Fire

Baking winds, sulphurous skies, raining cinders, the roaring; the trembling air, the red smoke, giant tongues of flame lashing the landscape, devouring trees and buildings. Fleeing animals, fleeing people, blankets of ash, a pall of smoke… The images of the bush fires in Australia have [...]

September’s Asteroid Round Up

A quick look at what those asteroids — Juno, Vesta, Pallas and Ceres — are up to in September.

August Asteroids

Taking a quick look at what the asteroids are up to at the moment. Juno, Pallas, Ceres and Vesta move slowly enough to have serious impact, and quickly enough to be entertaining. Getting to know your asteroids adds a little turmeric and chili, ginger and garlic to your horoscopic stew. [...]

Notre Dame: She Will Rise Again

Notre Dame, the great church of Our Lady in the heart of Paris, at the sharp end of the Ile de la Cité, burned spectacularly last night. One of her spires pointed a flaming finger at the sky. She crackled, she roared. But today she’s still standing. The images were shocking, of course. [...]

Video: The Goddess

We’ve just had a wonderful weekend here in Oxford discussing the meaning of Ceres, Vesta, Juno and Pallas in the horoscope. This is my general introduction to the weekend. Enjoy!

Deep Magic, Fire: The Gates of Winter

Bonfire Night, November 5, was perfect this year — cold and crisp and clear. It gets dark now by about 5.30, and we walked over to the bonfire field through dark streets lit by sulfury orange streetlights. The field very dark, except on the far side where the bright yellow flames from the [...]

Hillary Clinton, Dragon-Slayer

This American election is an archetypal battle, the stuff of fairytale or legend. The two sides line up, accusing each other of hatred, lying and lasciviousness; of baseness, vileness, bestiality. In their vagueness sometimes, the smears require a leap of imagination from the public. What’s [...]
