Donald Trump and the August 2017 Solar Eclipse Next month looks like being a particularly interesting one for Donald Trump, since the solar eclipse on 21st August will take place exactly on top of his Ascendant at 29 Leo. Traditionally solar eclipses are considered the most malefic of omens in astrology, since the Sun, the [...]
Without warning, the tornado tears up your street, through the front door and right under the bed covers just as you’re drifting into a warm, fuzzy sleep. Before you know it you’re being whisked off on an adventure to an unknown land. Say hello to Uranus. Uranus surges into your life unannounced, bringing chaos and [...]
AstroCartography is a fairly modern branch of astrology that describes how the symbolism of different planetary energies come to the fore for us at different locations around the world. Each planet symbolises particular themes and hence this kind of astrology can describe the kinds of experiences we may have in different locations. This can be [...]
One of the very important and often overlooked features of a natal astrology chart is the Nodes of the Moon. This is an axis, rather than a planet, with one side named the North Node and the other the South Node.

The workshop will include around 20 hours of teaching, and there will be time to explore the mountains and beaches of [...]
Back in May I discussed the transits of Uranus and the kinds of sweeping, unexpected and sometimes chaotic change it brings to our lives as we search for a greater sense of freedom. Today I want to talk about the next planet out in the solar system, Neptune, and the effects that it can have [...]
In the same way that people have birth charts, so too do countries. And in the same way that people are affected personally by major transits to their charts, so too are entire nations. One of the most important transits is that of Pluto, and it is very interesting to note that Pluto will soon [...]
I don’t have any kind of systematic approach to what I write about in these newsletters, rather I prefer to just discuss whatever is important to me right now. It’s not very Virgoan of me I know, but sometimes even Virgos have to get a little crazy and spontaneous. I’ve been spending a lot of [...]
