The story of death and resurrection, the end and the beginning, mortality and eternity resonated with exceptional power this Easter-tide. Sadly, the death of Pope Francis on this Easter Monday seems right for the times. It is hard to overstate the importance of the passing of a Pope. Approximately every 6th person living on this […]

I am so looking forward to participating in this symposium about the little planet tucked into the asteroid belt, Ceres, the mother goddess, on 15 June. Finally, Ceres will be getting the kind of attention she deserves. The symposium should be really interesting, since there will be six astrologers with six different approaches to interpreting […]

Poor old Valentine’s Day, supposedly a day of romance and chocolate-munching, stuck in the chilly middle of February, stranded between Christmas and Easter, Imbolc and Equinox.

You can feel the change in the northern hemisphere at this turn in the year — St Brigid’s Day, Candlemas, the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin. From the Philippines to Poland, 1-2 February are celebrated with candlelight. It is Imbolc, one of the four corners of the year on a Gaelic calendar. The […]

Welcome to the Year of the Snake on this Aquarius New Moon (29 January). Blessed New Year to all! This picture by Gustav Klimt shows the goddess of good health, Hygiea with her pet snake. In both Chinese culture and here in the West, snakes are associated with wisdom and cunning, which may be qualities […]
