I have decided to start sharing some tips on wellness and self-care, as this seems to be a difficult area for many of us. It takes a lot of deprogramming to realise that our wellness stems from within, from the soul and the mind. Our instinct is to look for something outside of us toContinue reading “Self Care #1: Meditation”

The Lionsgate Portal
The Lionsgate Portal was known to the ancients and is known to us as a yearly gateway to the energy of the higher heavens. It marks the alignment of Earth to the star system of Sirius. At this time, the Dog Star (Sirius) appears closer to Earth, while Orion’s Belt aligns with the points onContinue reading “The Lionsgate Portal”
New Age, New Cage!
It goes without saying that not everything New Age is terrible. Like everything, there is good and bad in every movement. The problem at any given time is dogmatism and the potential for exploitation. It is so interesting to me how the promise of something usually entails the opposite. A shortcut on your journey turnsContinue reading “New Age, New Cage!”
Neptune in Synastry (2)
This is a great meme, and set off a long train of thought for me today. Neptune in synastry is one of my favourite things to think about. As human beings, we struggle more or less with our own wholeness. Neptune as an archetype represents unity with the Divine- limitless, true, utter spiritual love. WhatContinue reading “Neptune in Synastry (2)”
Thoughts on Pluto
At the time of writing, the author has recently survived transit Pluto squaring her Venus, Mercury and Sun. The author also has her natal Pluto in Scorpio conjunct her Moon in Scorpio, and square her chart ruler (Jupiter). This is something she really feels she knows about, although Pluto is of course impossible to knowContinue reading “Thoughts on Pluto”
Studies in Synastry: Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.
When it comes to synastry, it can be amazingly illustrative to peek into the lives of famous people. Yet we must always remember to listen to what the charts are telling us, and not what we think we know about these individuals. Nothing lies to us more than the mainstream news media, except perhaps gutterContinue reading “Studies in Synastry: Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.”
Mercury in synastry (Part 2, Aspects)
Good old Mercury, trickster god, social butterfly, being of quicksilver and brimstone! You can make us a overthinking mess with a scorched-up brain, an impresario, a genius or a fool. Yet one thing is certain, we do need you to help us be human, help us acheive our essential purpose on this earth. Mercury, inContinue reading “Mercury in synastry (Part 2, Aspects)”
Mercury in synastry (Part 1)
As Mercury is now in retrograde (causing my last post to disappear!), a lot of people have questions about the significance of Mercury in synastry. It is often overlooked, as I suppose it is not fluffy and romantic like Venus or the Moon, or sexy like Mars or Pluto. But communication does form the backboneContinue reading “Mercury in synastry (Part 1)”
Neptune.
So now I am thinking about Neptune, just as the Moon moves in to square it prior to this weekend’s penumbral lunar eclipse in Capricorn. A lot of people ask me about Neptune, and I often feel so lost for words. It is such a strange world. Neptune is the destruction of boundaries and theContinue reading “Neptune.”
Hunger.
Astrology is food for the soul. It should nourish us, it should bring us what we need in order to grow strong. However, like food, there is a lot of it that is junk. Confection. Pure artificiality, sweet to consume but death to our wellbeing, and addictive in how it appeals to our comfort zone.Continue reading “Hunger.”
