Taurus Full Moon
It’s early on a Saturday morning as I write this post. I’m sitting up in bed, and outside, it’s raining. In the distance, a Koel bird is calling. It’s a sound I’ve always associated with the coming of summer, although here in southeast Queensland, summer is already well and truly here. I’ve been trying to…

Mars in Leo
Now, I don’t know about you, but my get-up-and-go has felt a tad cbf (can’t be faffed) of late. Sure, I’ve had ideas and intentions, but they’ve been peppered with anxieties and maybe-not-yets. While Mars has been in Cancer, it’s felt like treading water – especially if you’re a Mars ruled sign (I’m looking at…

Scorpio New Moon
New Moon November 1, 2024, 10.46pm AEST 9 Scorpio 35 I recall the last time there was a Scorpio New Moon this close to Halloween – 31 October 2016 (Sydney time). That New Moon fell at 7 Scorpio, and I remember writing about getting rid of waste, eliminating the crap, and banishing the unbanishables. We…

November 2024
Helloooooo, is anyone there? I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t after all, I haven’t been … here, that is. I’ve been plenty of other places, and it’s safe to say 2024 hasn’t really lived up to the hype, but in many other ways it has lived up to the astrology – or, specifically, to…

Well, that’s a tricky question, but to find out more about Mercury retrograde and how to survive and thrive during this period, check out this post. As…

Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide
In our lives, we are so busy multi-tasking, juggling devices and schedules that we forget to notice the details. We miss things. For me, Mercury retrograde has always been that time when we’re reminded that a little back-tracking, a little revision, a few deliberate pauses in the day can be a way in which we…

Sagittarius New Moon
Tomorrow’s New Moon in Sagittarius is about hope, spontaneity, optimism, faith and adventure. Wherever it falls in your chart is where you need an injection of these things. For that reason, this is one of my favourite New Moons of the year. It’s the opportunists New Moon. It’s not so much glass half full or…

What dreams are made of …
The copy edit for the first in my Whale Bay mysteries came back yesterday which means it’s time for me to begin playing with images for the cover – not that I do my own covers, I’m not that clever or creative. I do, however, have to have some images in mind to brief my…

Venus in Scorpio
Venus has just moved into Scorpio – a sign in which she’s not at all comfortable. When Venus is in Scorpio, you see, she’s in what traditional astrologers term the sign of her detriment. This doesn’t mean that Venus is weak in Scorpio, it means that she is in a position where she can’t use…

Mercury in Capricorn – Drawing lines in the sand
Since leaving my day job a couple of months ago I’ve struggled with daily structures and routines. Rather than being more productive with my writing, I’ve been less, and rather than using my time more efficiently, I’ve regularly found myself faffing about watching Hallmark Christmas movies when I should be doing something that will contribute…
