Jupiter cusping Aquarius and Pisces in Snowy U.K.
With a minimum of aspects this last week the U.K. ground to a halt because of snow. For every statement, there is an equal and opposite statement, and the Guardian this morning disagrees, saying “a glance at motorway webcams yesterday showed the roads running freely” so it does depend on your perspective and your mode […]

Aspects for the week beginning 3 January 2010
The post-eclipse New Year dawned here in sunshine and snow, but the New Year is not an astrological marker, more of a collective and individual psychological one. As such, it is a powerful time. So in a way it is nice to note that there are only two aspects this week, both minor ones, so […]

Aspects for the week beginning 27 December 2009
At the end of 2009 we have Venus, Pluto, Sun, Mercury and the North Node in Capricorn. It’s a sobering sign, but the Sun is always in Capricorn at this time of year, and Mercury and Venus often are. Pluto and the North Node are additional and heavyweight features in Capricorn, and so we are […]

Venus was square to Uranus this morning, and if your social plans were disrupted last night, this would be the reason. Perhaps you are in a different location than you’d planned. Perhaps snow or strikes took matters out of your hands. So your mind may be holding two realities: the one you had planned, and […]

Aspects for the week beginning 13 December 2009
We are currently in the overlap period between the conjunction of Jupiter/Chiron and the forthcoming conjunction of Jupiter/Neptune, and there is a double event this week which reflects this. The week will contain surprises (in some cases shocks), and some blessings. Today the Sun is sextile Chiron, highlighting and to some extent creatively solving healing […]

Change of Lifestyle
This week I will be retiring at the age of 60 from the day job, and taking the state pension. This will mean a change to my astrological services. I will try to whittle down my 3-month waiting list as soon as possible, and then be free to offer an instant service. That’s the plan. […]

Aspects for the week beginning 6 December 2009
This week we re-visit the triple conjunction of Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron which has been a feature of this year. In looking back over the year, you may remember economic stringencies, ecological wrangles and psychological challenges of Pluto in Capricorn. You’ll also remember the crumbling institutions, erosions of structures and tugs of war of the Saturn opposition with […]

Aspects for the week beginning 29 November 2009
Signs that Saturn in Libra is well under way are former leaders being brought to book (Saturn) for war crimes (against Libra sign of peace). Tony Blair, who natally has Mars (the mythological God of War) on his Ascendant, is being scrutinized for his part in the Iraq war. Meanwhile the former Bosnian Radovan Karadzic […]

Aspects for the week beginning 22 November 2009
There may be comfort in knowing you have come through the initial Saturn-Pluto square. For many people, the crises occurred during the week coming up to 15 November. However, undoubtedly the Saturn-Pluto crisis in the U.K. was experienced in Cumbria a few days after with floods of “biblical” proportions. The repercussions, as with all flooding, […]

Aspects for the week beginning 15 November 2009
I’ve been staring at too many screens lately: television, computers, commuter screens, mobile phone, i-phone and cinema (the wonderful “Bright Star” depiction of the life of John Keats – with Ben Whishaw divinely cast as the archetypal poet)…knowing that all these electrical vibes are interfering with my natural state of being. Ten years ago I […]
