It’s easy to see that Beyoncé must have a powerhouse of planets in the sign of partnership — Libra — after all she is one half (arguably the more glamorous half) of the most powerful marriage in showbiz. She was born on this day, September 4, in 1981 Indeed, Beyoncé has Venus and Pluto in Libra Rising. No wonder she’s famous for her powerful sexual charisma, and her straight-up good looks. Not only that, she has Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn in Libra too — no wonder she likes to write about relationships — for her they are endlessly complex and […]

Astrology of Now: “Be here, now!”
When you find a planet or asteroid at 0° in a person’s chart, it’s likely to be significant. It may contain a great deal of the pure energy of that sign, and the individual may need to manifest that during his or her lifetime. Since today, Pallas Athena, the asteroid of wisdom is at 0° Virgo, I was curious to see who has this interesting combination of sign and asteroid at that critical degree — after all both Virgo and Pallas are associated with craft. I love it when sometimes astrology is so clear, and so visual. This is a […]

In the Key of Virgo: Cesaria Evora
Cesaria Evora was born on this day, August 27, in 1941 — a Virgo, with a Scorpio Moon: precision and soul. She was called the “Barefoot Diva” because she liked to sing without shoes. Maybe not surprising considering her stellium in earthy Virgo — Sun, Mercury, North Node and Neptune, the planet of music and magic.

All The President’s Crimes
Trump fans, stop reading now. You won’t like it. US President Donald Trump may have done Americans a favour by revealing just how much the system has rotted, and how much needs repairing. While Obama was like a lovely bandaid on the running sore of corruption in American politics (with a touch of Bach Rescue Remedy), Trump has acted like a great big magnifying glass. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, as the living personification of the “ugly American”, he’s done “the best” job. So this week, some of his crimes have been exposed in court. And some of […]

Astrology of Now: Perfect Legs
When the planet of disco balls and silver suits, that is Uranus, dances in perfect time with that stately waltzer Saturn, you know you’re in a peculiarly potent sort of season. Of course, Uranus and Saturn have been doing this all summer from early Taurus and Capricorn respectively. This is a frictionless but productive aspect. This week, the Sun will join Uranus and Saturn from Virgo, creating a perfect Earth Grand Trine and triggering that energy into a circuit. All Earth signs — and Aquarians — could feel a wave of ease and energy. If you want to make something […]

Podcast: Your Month Ahead
This month we recorded our session by the Watts Chapel of Rest in Compton, an Arts and Crafts masterpiece next door to the Watts artist’s village in Surrey. We had quite a lively discussion about the month ahead, which looks, well, quite good — especially after the Full Moon and Mars turning direct.

RIP Aretha Franklin
Aretha Franklin brought everyone who listened to her glorious voice closer to heaven while she was here on earth. She seemed to her audience like a living vessel for the divine. Her voice seemed to effortlessly catalyse emotions. Just a quick look at her chart is instructive. • There is her label “Queen” of Soul. Look what she has rising: Juno, the Queen, in Scorpio, the deepest sign of all. • Moon (soul) is in Cancer, it’s own sign, so super-powerful, and making an exact trine to her Mercury in musical Pisces. Mercury tells us how we communicate — and […]

The Goddess Weekend
Oh those neglected asteroids, floating around in the Kuiper belt wastes, ignored and even derided (as a bunch of rubble behind Mars). Well, no longer. The Oxford Astrology Group will be devoting an entire weekend to Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Juno this September — and you are cordially invited. I’m very excited to be participating. I feel privileged — and a little awed — to be working with Lynn Bell and Faye Cossar, two of the smartest astrologers teaching today. If you have never heard either of them speak, you are in for a treat (and some serious brain gym). If […]
