March begins in the imaginative, magical realm of Pisces — place where some get lost, but many find themselves, or their alternative selves. And March ends in crackling, zingy Aries. We’re all going from soaking wet to hair on fire — exciting! To read your horoscope, click here.

This, from the King James version of the Bible, should probably be framed and on every astrologer’s wall. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, […]

Subscribers to the horoscopes already know that I had my own private eclipse at the end of January: my darling mother died. Here’s some of what I wrote then: “She went back to bed one morning, feeling a little odd — and never got up. Yes, she had a Leo Moon, right in the path of that eclipse. Appropriately for me, at the heart of the eclipse was Ceres, the planet of motherhood and cherishing, and the only retrograde planet in the sky at that moment. “My mother had some of the most enviable attributes of a Libra Sun — […]

(Victor Oliver, editor of the Astrological Journal, has very kindly asked me to write a column loosely about “fashion”. I’ll be publishing them here too.) A squiggle of monobrow, two beady black eyes — it’s a shorthand for Frida Kahlo, the long-dead Mexican artist that just about everyone can recognise instantly. If the mood took you, you could kit out your house with Frida Kahlo magnets, coasters, posters, mirrors, matchboxes, tea-trays, lampshades, curtains, and maybe even an old-fashioned Frida phone. You could have that inimical gaze staring at you from every corner and surface of your home. If you really […]

I spent a fun afternoon with my chum fellow astrologer Sally Kirkman last week talking about how the planets look in 2018 for your Sun or Rising sign. We realised that chatting together led us to some interesting insights — including the notion that it’s going to be quite a year for Aquarians as well as Capricorns, and that we’re going to see a lot of Chiron action. We enjoyed ourselves so much that I think we’ll be doing it again, starting at the spring equinox. See if you can figure out who’s the Scorpio and who’s the Pisces from […]

It’s hard to overstate the importance of a company called Carillion to the British government and the British economy. Well, it collapsed today. Like its cannibalised name, Carillion is a corporation made up of the caracasses of other corporations. It was stitched together in 1999 to take advantage of the then-Labour government’s crush on the private sector. Carillion was hived off as a “service” arm from a much older construction company called Tarmac, created in 1903. This is how it describes itself on its website. “Carillion is a leading integrated support services business. We employ around 43,000 people and operate in […]

Between January 14 and 17, there will be so many planets stacked up in one corner of the sky, that you might expect the whole cosmos to tilt with the weight of them. Moon, Sun, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, Venus and the Black Moon Lilith will all be in the sign of the Goat-Snake, Capricorn. That’s a lot of midwinter — and there has not been a line-up like this in a single sign in many years. During those three days, the Moon will conjunct each planet in Capricorn, one after the other — and because Mars-Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron and Uranus […]
