I See Red
Sometimes shit just happens. For no reason. When I first started learning about predictive astrology I used to look endlessly at my chart and the transits that were hitting it and try and work out what it meant. If something crappy happened at work (and at the time, 5 years ago, crappy things were always…

I Have a Dream
I have a dream. Actually, that’s a ridiculous comment…I’m a triple Pisces- I have a number of dreams. Someone once said that a Pisces without a dream is very sad indeed. Dreams are good- until they aren’t. Que? The thing about dreams is they either stay as dreams or come out of the bucket and…

Express Yourself: Full Moon in Leo
One of my New Years Resolutions this year was to do one thing a week that scared me. I was also going to get fit and healthy again, get some freelance articles published and find a home for (working title) Brand New Without Tags. How am I going against these? Actually pretty well- considering I’m…

I Don’t Know How She Does 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…

Declaration of Intent
The other day, before the Moon moved into Sagittarius, I declared (in hindsight, possibly a little rashly) that I was not having any cocktails until Christmas (Bintang doesn’t count and is cheaper than a bottle of water back home) and that I was going to get my breakfast solely from the bar that served salads…

Total Eclipse…and all that…
As I write this, I have half an eye on a piece of pork belly that I am attempting to blister the crackling on before pouring milk into the pan to cook it slowly. Scented with sage, the milk will tenderise the meat so it should melt off the fork. I’m serving it with thyme…

The Whole of the Moon
We are not far away from the Sagittarius New Moon, and a partial Solar Eclipse. Eclipses, as we know, are extremely potent New Moons and usually herald change of some type. And the thing about change is that we can’t control it. The other thing about change is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be…

Hope, Faith and Optimism
I am writing this from a seat in Perth Domestic Airport waiting for a flight home, hopeful that not only will the schedule the airline is operating to match mine, but also that my bag will depart on the same flight as I do. Hope. Last night I said a teary goodbye to a colleague…

be afraid…be very afraid…
We talk each month about the risks of losing it under the influence of a Moon-Pluto aspect. Anyone who has this aspect natally or, indeed, Moon-Pluto square, Moon-Pluto conjunction or a Scorpio Moon lives with it daily. They know what it is like to keep things tightly under control. To let go is not only…

When All is Said and Done
Mothers are supposed to throw little pearls of wisdom to their kids. I happen to think I am giving my daughter the best possible start to life with gems like: No matter how late, tired or drunk you are- take your make-up off before you go to bed or Italian waiters are born not made-…
