The Revolution Has Arrived: Women’s World Cup

by  • 

Oh the glory. The women’s game is beautiful indeed. It’s taken one and a half nodal cycles, 28 solar cycles, two and a quarter Jupiter cycles, and not quite one full Saturn cycle for the Women’s World Cup to finally go truly global. With a worldwide audience of a billion, we can safely say that women’s soccer has arrived in the collective consciousness at last.  And the astrology is fascinating. The inaugural Women’s World Cup match took place in Guangzhou, China on November 16, 1991 at 20.45 local time. It’s a watery chart with Cancer Rising and the Moon in […]

Your July Monthly Horoscopes

by  • 

Your July Monthly Horoscope is ready for collection if you click here. It’s quite the month ahead — especially for Cancerians, of course, who have their birthdays plus an eclipse, Capricorns, who have an eclipse of their own, Leos who have a Mercury Retrograde. Or maybe it’s more intense for Aries and Libra, who’ll be getting those eclipses across such important angles? There’s also an interesting extra in here for Pisces and Libra, both of whom may profit from some special help.

A Few Reasons Why Jupiter’s Not Always Fabulous

by  • 

A reader wrote to me: “I am supposed to have Jupiter in my first house of Sag all year but it’s been just awful!” And asked me why this was so. Here is my response. This is a good question. 1. We tend to over-egg the whole luck thing with Jupiter in an attempt to look on the bright side, and forget that above all Jupiter magnifies. So in your first house he can make you somehow “larger”. This has a good side. Do you want to be noticed? Or be pregnant? But it also can go the other way. […]

Monthly Podcast: June 21-July 22

by  • 

We ended up in Sally’s home recording the latest podcast for Cancer month. Previously, we tried to meet in London and record outside as we are at the peak of summer but, in the UK, heat-wave weather it is not. In fact, we got rained on. What we did discover was a new ‘home’ for our latest venture together – astrology workshops. Our first astrology event will take place on Saturday 7th December, 2019 in Covent Garden (book the date in your diary). Here we talk eclipses, Cancerians and Mercury Retrograde…

Astrology of Now: Into the Red Zone

by  • 

“Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion.” Proverb from Egypt If you happen to have any planets or important angles between 17° and 22° in just about any sign, you will be feeling a mighty pull of astrology this week and next. But the astrology is so strong that every one of us who heeds the zeitgeist, will witness something. This is a season of tension. First of all, there’s that tough knot in Capricorn — South Node 17°, Saturn 19° and Pluto 22°. This unforgiving combination has been transforming the lives of many over the past […]

Astrology of Now: Carnage on Everest

by  • 

Mountains house the gods — Shiva on Kailash, Zeus and the fam on Olympus, Ruwa on Kilimanjaro, Salcantay and Veronica in the Andes. To go to the mountain, to climb the mountain, means getting closer to god. Athos and Ararat, Kailash and Kanchenjunga are places of pilgrimage. What does it mean that the world’s highest mountain, Everest, the Holy Mother in Tibetan, becomes a playground for the wealthy? Another trophy to bag? Another brag? Another rich person’s goal? Apparently, it costs between £50,000 and £90,000 to make the ascent. Once upon a time, there was a kind of romance to […]

Tories at the Guillotine

by  • 

The Grim Reaper is currently making a second approach to the Ascendant of the British Conservative party. The last time Saturn was in these degrees of Capricorn, 1990, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was dispatched in a bloodless coup by her back benchers. Another Prime Minister is about to be disposed of by her own party, but this time the situation is much, much worse for the Tories. They are in an existential crisis. This is because both Pluto, the Lord of Hell himself, and the South Node, the point of dissipation and release are also hovering around that Ascendant. Indeed, […]
