    Warning – long and technical post ahead… It’s my birthday tomorrow, and a birthday means that it’s time to look back at last years Solar Return, and look forward to the next one. The Solar Return (SR) Ascendant tells a lot about your approach to life in that year- and mine was very definitely an…

    With very little fanfare and more than the usual amount of release day nerves, Wish You Were Here is now out and available on Amazon. As I always do, I used a bit of electional astrology to choose the best available time to press publish on this. It’s one of the many advantages of indie…

    It was my birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday to me. How did I spend it? I’m glad you asked. Close to the bathroom thanks to a bout of food poisoning. Salmonella, apparently. Let’s just say that it was a purge of epic proportions. Ecliptical even. And, given that the eclipse on Wednesday fell conjunct my Sun…

    Warning- this is a slightly technical post… So anyways, as a self-publisher, I get to choose what date I go live on Amazon. However, as an astrologer, that’s not as easy as it sounds. Electional charts- which is what we call picking the date charts- are actually quite complicated. Generally speaking, you want to make…

    So anyways, it’s my Solar Return tomorrow, and birthday on Thursday. That means it’s time to take a look back at last years Solar Return, and a look forward to the next one. The brief return to corporate wasn’t as brief as I’d expected- I’m still there. It’s absolutely helped from a paying down debts,…

    With Venus moving into Sagittarius, judging by the comments on FB, there are a few of you having Venus Returns. What does this mean? Essentially it’s a reboot of everything Venusian in your life as it relates to your chart. How do you interpret it? It just so happens I’ve already thought of that… check…

    warning: this is a technical post… In a link I posted the other day, I made the comment that I have the worst Mercury in history. Naturally I exaggerate…just a little. Nevertheless, it prompted a few comments, emails and questions. Sure the comment was, as most of my comments are, tongue in cheek, and it…

    It’s review time. My Solar Return today (my birthday is tomorrow), so, as I do every year, it’s time to check out the year in reference to last years Solar Return. And what an Aquarian year it was. Last year was differentiated by difference. Different routines, different acquaintances, different groups- and a lot of it…

    My Mercury had a birthday. Yesterday…I missed it. How very Piscean of me. That’s ok, I have 3 Mercury Returns this year. This is what the auto forecast I received in my mailbox said: It’s your Mercury birthday, the day when the planet of information returns to where it was when you were born. This…

    So it’s the first Tuesday in November. Sure I know that it’s a special day in the US, but for those of us here in Australia, it’s Melbourne Cup Day. The Melbourne Cup is literally the race that stops a nation. Even parliament stops at 3pm (Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Is Australia the only country…
