A Cosmic Day of Back-to-Back Talks
This is just a reminder that on Saturday I’ll be giving a talk in Trinity College, Oxford entitled How the @£@$*(^* Did We Get Here and participating in a panel discussion about the year ahead. There are four other excellent speakers on the day, including Anton D’Abreu (from Cycles of History on Transits), Israel Ajose (on Earth Houses), Pamela Armstrong (on Feminism) and Louise Hutson (on Renaissance astrologer William Lilly). It’s quite a packed schedule. The Oxford Astrology Group would like to encourage as many people to come as possible, so even if your knowledge of astrology is tenuous, come along for […]

Advanced Synastry Course Coming Up in January
The Advanced Synastry Course will begin the week of January 22nd and last for six weeks/lessons, until March 4th. Although the basics remain, this is a newly revised version of the course and it should prove challenging. We will do a great deal of angle work and focus on […]
Last Few OTC Readings Left
Hi, Folks– Last chance for an OTC reading. Looks like there are six slots still available, scattered during the 9th, 10th, 12th and 14th of January. Readings are spontaneous readings by me which last about 45 minutes. The cost is $60. I will use the natal chart, progressions, transits and we will have […]
Just A Little Broken: RIP George Michael
Fragile, strong, sweet, sharp — a little broken. George Michael was a superstar with a seemingly boundless musical gift, but it was his vulnerability that made him special. Something, somewhere, had been cracked (one felt), and, like a “golden repair” on a Japanese pot, it made George Michael beautiful. Michael’s soul seeped out gradually into his stage persona. At first, he just seemed like a pretty, talented teenager eager to have fun and make money with his schoolfriend. But then there was Careless Whisper: we heard that sweet, strong voice deliver the wistful, hurting lyrics, and it was clear his talent was bigger than Wham! This is such a sensitive […]

A Street Called Hope
The shortest day of the year unfolded, unintentionally, as a meditation on our connection to God via a city break in Liverpool. In the morning, we went to the great hulking Anglican cathedral — which lours over the city from a high point overlooking the River Mersey and the Irish Sea. The longest cathedral in the world looks more like a power station than a house of god from the outside. Over the entrance, there’s a sculpture by Elizabeth Frink: a thick-limbed, stolid, “human” Christ. Inside its massy walls, the force of a kind of muscular Christianity is astonishingly real. Designed at the height of British […]

Site Crash
Sorry, Folks, I don’t know what happened, but everything from July to October that appeared on this site has been eaten. Simply disappeared, and no record I can see. I’ll be working on it. In the meantime, I hope everything else is still intact. All well and good that it wasn’t a time I […]
The Death of the Press
Hot-metal printing was finally killed off in the mid-1980s. Its demise had been a long time coming, as it was superseded by other cleaner, faster, cheaper technologies. London’s print unions were some of the last in the world to hold out, in the Wapping Dispute with Rupert Murdoch’s News International. When they caved in February 1987, it was the end. Imagine though, a composing room, in 1983 or even 1883. Lead type melts, is moulded, banged into place on the composing stones with wooden mallets by the compositor. On one side of the stone, the compositor; on the other, the editor: jobs strictly delineated. Editors […]
