Oh The Magnficence: Scott Walker

by  • 

I sometimes feel I need to shake myself like a wet dog after listening to Scott Walker, and, maybe, watch the droplets turn into glorious rainbows, transform into hummingbirds. Two lines into a Scott Walker song and you are immersed, taken into another, magical dimension. His perfect diction, histrionic delivery and psychedelic imagery are somehow “drenching” — that is the word that occurs to me. Scott Walker’s work is both unashamedly intellectual and emotional at the same time. His art is profoundly cathartic — a gift to the listener. He passed yesterday, but he sang songs about this moment a long […]

The British Blue Wave

by  • 

When I stood at the top of Whitehall yesterday looking down that famous street towards Parliament Square, I saw a mass of blue flecked with yellow. The colours of the EU flag were worn on berets and backpacks, on capes and lapel pins, T-shirts and deelyboppers. There was a scattering of lurid blue wigs, and some delicate blue hair. It’s not often that the Queen starts a fashion trend, but I couldn’t help recalling her infamous EU hat, worn for her speech last year.   This was the march of more than one million citizens, according to the organisers, or […]

Equinox: Perfect Balance

by  • 

We’ve reached that moment of perfect balance in the year, when the day is as long as the night, or the dark is as long as the light. It’s the beginning of the astrological year, when the Sun steps into Aries, perhaps with a little shake of excitement to get rid of the dampness of Pisces. Whether you’re North or South, there’s a little brisk friskiness at the equinox, a sense of possibilities and potential. The possibility of starting something afresh. This year is special, of course, because there’s a lush full Moon in Libra, the sign of relationships. Sun […]

by  • 

  This month’s podcast meanders around a bit  but eventually builds up a head of steam. That’s what happens when you’re moving from watery Pisces to fiery Aries, and you’ve just had a nice bowl of leek and potato soup. Sally and I make found this mont’s astrology pretty fascinating in fact. Oh and do send in a question for next month…

Astrology of Now: The Brexit Collywobbles

by  • 

Yet again, the Prime Minister, was defeated in the Commons. Members of Parliament voted down her withdrawal agreement with the EU for the second time by a massive majority last night. On March 29, Britain is due to leave the European Union. Meanwhile, both parties still seem to believe that Brexit is about party politics — not healing the soul of this country. The country’s soul is, of course, a sad, confused thing right now, like some poor dog gnawing at its own leg, wondering why its masters could be so cruel. So it’s interesting during this run-up to the […]

Best Astrology Books According To Astrologers

by  • 

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

by  • 

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

by  • 

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…
