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 Astrologer’s Process: Dirty Data, Rectification and Amy Winehouse’s Birth Time
Every astrologer has had this conversation with a client at least once. “My mother said I was born at 10:00 o’clock.” “AM or PM?” asks the astrologer. “Not sure, I’ll have to ask my mother.” In an astrologer’s perfect world … Continue reading →
Message in a Bottle
Put a message in a bottle. Seal the lid and send it out to sea. Or set free a helium balloon with a note tied to the tail. Or just sit still, in a quiet room, and transmit your thoughts into the ether. You need, if you will forgive this lapse into h…

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 […]
Ugg boots, mutant cell man theories and 12th house escapism
I have been in Brisbane for the best part of the last couple of weeks and the weather has been just like in the ads- beautiful one day, perfect the next…not that I really have had the opportunity to enjoy it. Winter days there can be simply gorgeous…
