I’m happy to announce that the winner of the The Widening Gyre’s “New Moon in Leo” competition is Wendy Layne, who managed to capture the sense of fun and adventure in this combination of influences in three paragraphs or less. Wendy wins an extended one on one tutoring session from me. Congratulations, Wendy! The […]

Jupiter and Hyde: Co-rulerships, Part One
One of the first things we learn–or rather, latch on to–when we begin learning astrology is the serendipity of Jupiter. Wherever Jupiter falls in a chart is lucky, the books tell us. Jupiter is the planet of adventure and good feelings. He’s a good guy, ruler of happy, expansive Sag. We want him in […]
The Gyre…if a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one to hear it…
Hi folks. It’s been brought to my attention recently that a number of people haven’t been receiving their copies of The Gyre because it’s being eaten up by spam filters. We know that spam filters do a wonderful job and are a necessary part of our lives, but if you’ve signed up for The Gyre […]
Progressions Two Begins Scheduling August 15th!
Progressions Two: Progressions in Synastry Sorry to say that the Progressions Two Class is now full. Progressions Two will be given again in Spring of 2012. Open to all who have taken my Progressions One course. No exceptions, sorry. We will be using techniques and definitions that were taught in Progressions One. […]
Spiral Up or Down? The Second Progressed Lunar Return
There was a lot of interest stirred up by my articles on the Progressed Lunar Return: both the one on the 27 Club and the one on the Progressed Moon/Saturn cycle. When people first hear about the progressed lunar return, they often get a very wise ‘a ha’ look in their eyes, as if […]
Three Paths to Wisdom: Pluto and the Path of Right Action
I had a much harder time naming this post than I had writing it. I toyed with Pluto and the Path of Soul, but Soul is a confusing term, and many of us have very personal definitions of it as coloured by traditional and non-traditional religion and belief systems. Evolutionary astrology has adopted the notion […]
Ongoing Classes Available
At the risk of sounding like a character from Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Ernest, I have recently lost two ongoing students and, ‘to lose one (student)… may be regarded as misfortune, to lose both sounds like carelessness…” Well, it wasn’t quite carelessness, but if there is anyone who has been wanting to study […]
The 27 Club: Crossing the Astrological Threshold
With the sad death of Amy Winehouse reported in the news, I’m afraid we’re going to hear an awful lot about “The 27 Club”–a list of celebrities who never made it to 28. Requiescat en pace to their newest member, and also wishing peace to all who loved her. The assumption in the public is […]
Three Paths to Wisdom: Neptune and the Path of the Heart
I bought a surge protector the other day. I know that this is a strange way to open a post on Neptune, but bear with me. Apparently, I have a very sensitive refrigerator. If we have a summer storm and there is a little irregularity in the way the electricity distributes itself, the fridge will […]
Aspect Orbs: An Emergency Posting
Don’t panic. The reason that this is an emergency posting is that, quite simply, if I don’t explain this right here, right now, I may actually go a little mad. For this I am breaking the flow of the higher and lower octave articles: I apologize to those of you who have been waiting for […]
