Equinox: Perfect Balance

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 […]

Your Month Ahead Podcast

  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

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

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 […]
