Astrology of Now: Out of Hell
As the prisoners pour out of the cells in Sadnaya prison, you can hear their liberators saying over and over, “Thank god for your safety,” the traditiional greeting for someone who has returned from a long journey or illness. “Hamdillah es-salaameh.” And many of these prisonsers — men, women and children — have been incarcerated […]

Wicked
Cycling through the air, straight-backed and determined, Miss Gulch transforms into a witch on a broomstick at the start of The Wizard of Oz. It’s terrifying and fabulous.

Astrology of Now: Beauty and Terror
“Why is it we are so emotional about this game?” asked the man sitting next to me, biting passionately into a chunk of tortilla. “Because it is a beautiful game,” I replied, as we watched the black and white ball slide perfectly off the foot of a Spanish player clad in glowing red. “The players […]

Democracy! Hoo-flippin’-ray!
If you listen to the podcast, you’ll know that I’ve been certain of the outcome of the 4 July General Election in the UK since it was announced. Two reasons. First: the mood of the country was clear, and second: the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in April. The last two times this conjunction occurred […]
