Burn Your Name
I like starting things. This is partly because I have a lot of planets in the first house, and the first house is very much associated with Aries…and Aries is very much associated with starting stuff. It’s also because I was born just a couple of hours after a New Moon*, and New Moons are…

Wake Me Up Inside…
For better or for worse, most of us are attached to the way things are. It’s why we stay in jobs and relationships that are so long past their use by date that if they were a vegetable they would have festered into a manky science experiment mess at the bottom of the crisper. Think…

the astrology of a full moon meltdown…
So, last night, almost exactly as the Moon was full, I had a meltdown. It was a meltdown fitting for a Cancer Full Moon…it was cyclonic, it was also, in retrospect, textbook for the transits the Moon was making to my chart. We’ve talked before about how transits of the personal planets, including the Moon…

How Does She Do It?
Despite being located in Indonesia, the official religion in Bali is Hinduism- but a different sort of Hinduism to what is practised in India. I won’t get into details here (mainly because I’ll probably get them wrong!), but is has to do with what the Balinese worship in addition to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. They…

Under the Influence…Neptune in 2013
I’ve spent the weekend in Canberra. For those outside of Australia, it’s our capital city, a bush capital, and the one of the only major Australian cities where kangaroos really do dwell in and around the suburbs.

Things to do under the Cancer Moon…
I wrote the other day about how I used the cycles of the Moon to write some of the scenes in manuscript. This prompted a lot of questions- both from fellow writers and others just interested in how to use these monthly cycles more effectively. So, first on the list is Cancer… Things to do…

Full Moon and eclipse in Gemini- and a NANOWRIMO Update
I did it! NANOWRIMO- 50,000 words in the month of November. My poor little writers hands are suffering, and I feel like I’ve been burning both ends of the candle, but I got there. What’s interesting is that I got there, this time, with the help of what I knew was going on in the…

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…
We have a New Moon on Wednesday (Sydney time), in Scorpio. This is an extra potent New Moon- it’s also a Solar Eclipse. That means that the next couple of days we are in the dark, or balsamic phase of the Moon. The time of the month we finish off, pack away, banish the banishables.…

From darkness into light…something about Saturn/Moon transits
Saturn transits can be tough. There’s no denying that. There are, however, a few things that make them tougher: Resistance. When it comes to Saturn, resistance is futile…so is attempting to second guess or stay one step ahead. Saturn will have his way and the more you resist or bury your head in the…
