Best Astrology Books According To Astrologers

New York Magazine asked me to name my three top astrology books last week for this article — a round-up of astrologers’ recommendations. Of course, this week I might choose three different ones, and I did assume that someone else would mention Stephen Arroyo and Linda Goodman, who aren’t in this list. I agree with most of the choices, but remain mildly baffled by a few which are unreadable. Two of my choices made the cut — Saturn, A New Look At An Old Devil by Liz Greene, and Making the Gods Work With You by Caroline Casey. But Geoffrey […]

A Mercury Retrograde for Mystics, Dreamers and Junkies

I thought I’d have a quick bit of shut-eye this afternoon — and woke up totally disoriented from a mad series of dreams two hours later. Mercury Rx in Pisces = more dreamtime. The shadow of this Mercury Retrograde has already brought us some truths stranger than fiction — if you watched Michael Cohen’s deposition you’ll know what I mean. Mercury is stationing in Pisces right now, and turns retrograde tomorrow at 29° — the very last degree of the Zodiac. Mercury in Pisces 10 Feb — 17 April Mercury into the shadow — Feb 19 Mercury Retrograde — March […]

March Horoscopes 2019

This month ahead is rather weird. The question for many of us will be: “Am I seeing through a distorting lens or a magnifying glass, or am I actually looking into a mirror?” Nothing is quite what it seems for most of March… To subscribe to the horoscopes or pick up your horoscope, click here.

Your Monthly Podcast

Oh my!  We are deep into Poseidon’s watery territory this month. Watch out for the jellyfish and the sharks. On the other hand, look at those flashing schools of multi-coloured fish over on that coral reef, and some dolphins disporting themselves on those waves and a mermaid on that rock singing hallelujahs. Pour yourself a Cosmopolitan and have a listen! And maybe slap some slices of cucumber on your eyelids…

Astrology of Now: Do It

Just keep running. The finish line is in sight (or at least a pitstop). Mars, the planet of fire, set a fuse at the start of January that’s been fizzing and popping all the way to this week. Today and yesterday, Mars finally made a conjunction with the planet of surprises, Uranus in Aries, the sign of beginnings in the very final degree. Wherever this falls in your chart — and depending on aspects — you may have a wake up, or some of you may have set off an explosion. Mars moves into Taurus on Valentine’s Day (tomorrow) where […]

A Live Astrology Reading from Hong Kong

I had a lot of fun in Hong Kong, and did about a zillion readings — every  single one of which was fascinating. I’m not kidding. There’s nothing like going half-way round the world for getting a fresh perspective. This was my way of kicking off the year with Jupiter, the teacher, in Sagittarius, the gypsy: travelling and sharing knowledge. The Four Seasons Spa invited me to be Master of Wellness to kick off Chinese New Year, and to give members and residents some insight into what 2019 might hold for them. I am truly grateful; they treated me like […]

The Unstoppable AOC: A Mighty Saturn Return

It’s easy to forget in all the fuss about the youngest ever congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that her main asset is her mind (Mercury on the MC). Her evisceration of the campaign finance laws this week demonstrated her razor sharp intelligence and ability to get to the heart of an issue fast. She is not just young, charismatic and dedicated, she is brilliant. AOC is a member of the “Berlin Wall” generation, born with a triple conjunction of revolutionary Uranus, practical Saturn and idealistic Neptune in Capricorn. These folks were born within a tight  period, November 1988 through February 1991, when Saturn […]

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes

The gap between the rich and the poor — globally, nationally, within regions and cities — has been widening since the 1980s. It’s true that many people across the world have also been lifted out of poverty in that time, but simultaneously in the so-called developed world, wages for middle and low income workers have stagnated. When Pluto went into Capricorn in 2008, the Lord of Burn and Slash in the sign of Big Government and Big Business, we saw the banking crisis. But Pluto is still in Capricorn and the world economy is still in a state of transformation. […]
