The Legendary David Attenborough

by  • 

He has given us the eyes to see beneath the waves, through the ice, into the dark belly of the earth, deep into the singing rainforest and the snowy taiga. He has shown us the world through the eyes of an eagle, a dolphin, an ant. From your sofa to the far Pacific islands or the melting polar ice caps, David Attenborough has made travellers and naturalists of us all. He has made us pay attention. And without being evangelical, he has shown us the horror and the sadness of what has happened to our dear planet over his lifetime. […]

Venus in Gemini: The Twinkle

by  • 

Those of you who follow this series already know that we’re looking at beautiful or extraordinary people to try and get an idea of how Venus, the goddess of beauty, works in each sign. Light, breezy, youthful, friendly, clever, funny — those are Gemini adjectives. Maybe the most famous Venus in Gemini in the world is a just as famous for being a sister — appropriate for the sign of the twins. Tennis is, of course, a Gemini sport: it takes two. The twoness of Gemini might explain something else: why so many top models? Photographic modelling is not just about looking […]

La Bromance: Emmanuel & Donald

by  • 

  There’s nothing surprising to an astrologer about the singular affinity of Presidents Macron and Trump. Indeed, their synastry is excellent. They flatter and reflect each other — one polishing the other’s shine. Furthermore, the fact that they seem to hold opposite opinions on just about everything from free trade to emigration, women’s rights to climate change is also written in the charts. And therein lies the mutual fascination. Emmanuel Macron, France’s ambitious, arrogant, clever, young president was born with and extraordinary and special Sun in the very final degree of the expansive sign of Sagittarius, where all that is […]

#RoyalBaby

by  • 

Just popping up the freshly-hatched Royal Baby’s chart for you to peruse and enjoy. Wow, this one has pizzazz! This kid looks like he’s going to be glamorous, handsome and popular — maybe also the apple of his mother’s eye. But oh my what a Capricorn conjunction — Saturn-Lilith-Mars-Pluto — boom! Could mean a real grafter — he’s not going to lie around lotus-eating, and if it works out for him he could be of real service to the community. That’s also a pretty military combo — looks like a man in a uniform. And what about the Chiron in Aries […]

Alexander Nix: His Business is Discord

by  • 

Alexander Nix, suspended head of Cambridge Analytica, the data firm accused of manipulating voters around the globe, has just ducked testifying before a British parliamentary committee. So it seems he’s a coward as well as a liar. I guess even he would have a hard time explaining the video that caught him explaining how his company uses honey traps to smear politicians or the testimony of his ex-colleague Chris Wylie. But you’ve probably read enough about Nix elsewhere. For a good profile in The Washington Post, click here. Suffice to say, Nix’s business is corrupting the political process. So how does […]

Astrology of Now: War or Peace?

by  • 

No doubt about it: this is a tough and dangerous month. Here’s why. Mars, the planet of war, aggression, action and passion, is pounding his way through the sign of Capricorn. At the start of April, he contacted sombre, stony Saturn, sitting there in his own sign, and at the end of the month, he contacts that underworld crime lord Pluto. These two powerful outer planets are both now in this sign of the establishment, governance and earthly power. You probably don’t need me to tell you what’s been happening to the “World Order” since 2008, when Pluto entered this […]
