This month’s Salon focused on the coming season with its many retrogrades and where we are now. I thought I’d take you on a trip to Waterperry Garden which is not far from where I live, and give you a precis since the idea of the garden is central. There are three more very short […]

To make music and do great good, who could ask for a more blessed life. Dolly Parton brought books to children, shelter to the homeless, medicine to the vulnerable, employment to the jobless, succour for the heartbroken and joy to every lover of a fine country tune. She was a champion of fairness, a protector […]

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 fast moving […]

At this month’s Salon we discussed the future, using the Pope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a way in to thinking about how to approach the incredible pattern of planets this summer.

Click the image to go to the YouTube video. At this month’s Salon we focused on Uranus in Gemini, and what it’s been feeling like over the last couple of weeks since the planet of electricity shimmied into the first air sign. I told some stories to members of the Salon, and they had some […]
