Fate, Free Will and the Referendum
Last night, I sat in one of the most magnificent private courtyards in Europe, listening to 200 musicians play the works of Ennio Morricone. The Italian composer, now 87 years old, conducted a huge choir and orchestra himself. The heavy rains were finished. The clouds parted, the sun set lemon and violet. The lake and its mysterious wooded island became silhouettes — and the music made us cry and cheer and stamp our feet. There were four encores. Beside me, a French student; behind me explained the films in London Italian. I heard the soft lisp of Greek and Spanish too while we […]

Astrology of Now: 23° High Voltage
If you have any planets between 22° and 24°, you should be aware that Mars is putting a tremendous focus of energy into this very narrow area of the Zodiac.. 23° specifically is highly activated because Uranus, the planet of electricity, surprise and lighting is at 23° Aries, and this is the degree where Mars is due to station in the coming weeks. Mars is the planet of violent action — retrograde, he behaves differently, but the consequences can be just as bad. We have had two powerful examples of this in the news this week. Jo Cox, the MP murdered […]

What Astrologers Are Saying About Brexit
On June 23, the people of United Kingdom will go to the polls to make the most important collective decision of a lifetime. Should we stay in the European Union or should we go? The decision taken now could change the country’s future absolutely — probably not in the ways predicted by any politician — and set our course for the coming decades. You could look at a whole host of charts for clues to the outcome of the referendum: the Aries Ingress, the opening of the polls, the closing of the polls, the official start of the campaign, the announcement of […]

Muhammad Ali: Leo Rising
Self-named, self-invented, self-motivated, champion boxer Muhammad Ali was a modern embodiment of the archetype of hero. He was charismatic, strong, graceful, poetic in speech, courageous in deed. He spoke up for the millions and laughed at the powerful. He took his punishment squarely and came back to defeat his enemies. He was brave and inventive. Here is Leo Rising: the sign of the king on the Ascendant. “It’s hard to be humble, when you’re as great as I am.” He was also playful, cheeky, brash and boastful and sometimes cruel as a child. Again Leo Rising. “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” So the […]

June Horoscopes
The season shifts from spring to summer — or from autumn to winter in the South. So the Sun has come to a mutable sign, Gemini, a sign where change happens. The mutuable signs — Gemini, Virgo, Pisces and Sagittarius — are alight this month. And because they are, we all are changing and shifting. At times of change, opportunities open, old friends disappear, but you may feel a sense of anticipation. There is magic in the air. The path ahead jumps and shimmies, like a magic carpet ready to take off, but you just need to get a toehold […]

The Wonderland Book
Kirsty Mitchell has a magical opposition between Venus in Gemini and Neptune in Sagittarius. Her imagination, rooted in fairyland, branches out into stranger worlds. She is an artist whose brush is a camera. She is a photographer — a province of Neptune — and she photographs beauty (Venus) in extraordinary, vivid detail. The Wonderland Book, which has taken her five years to make, was created in memory of her mother, a schoolteacher, a reader, a storyteller. Mitchell is a mother-loving Cancer Sun. Her work could be sentimental as a result but not with that steely conjunction from Saturn and detailed Mercury. Cancer […]

In the Key of Gemini: Charles Aznavour
In his long, long musical career, the great French balladeer Charles Aznavour has written hundreds of songs and recorded thousands. His Sun is at 0° Gemini, the sign of the songsmith. “I can write on any subject. Just give me the first line, which is the most important.” Aznavour will turn 92 on May 22. His last tour was in 2014, and his first American musical is being staged this spring; he started work at the age of nine. That is quite the career! Yes, he has hard-working Capricorn Rising, and its ruler Saturn is the most elevated planet. He also has his […]

Blue Hair
Neptune rules fashion and glamour and it’s been interesting to watch what’s happened since he roared into Pisces in 2011. Men rediscovered their inner dandies; women went kind of dishevelled and started dying their hair crazy colours. Neptune in Pisces 2011 -2025 Hair has gone all the shades of the ocean from cerulean to lilac to icey teal to rainbow to grey. Indeed, women have been sporting the kind of hair a mermaid might comb. This is street fashion but it’s also been taken up by the popperati. Beyoncé, of course, has outdone everyone by actually naming her child (born in 2012) Blue Ivy. […]
