    One of the most common questions I get is a variation on the following: I’m an Aries Rising and Leo is on my 6th house, but you said that if I’m a Leo Sun this New Moon will be in my 1st house, Or I’m a Virgo Sun, but I have no idea what time…

    Eclipse season is almost with us again- we have one next week and two in September: 18/8/16 Full Moon 25 Aquarius 51′ 1/9/16 New Moon 9 Virgo 21′ 16/9/16 Full Moon 24 Pisces 20′ There’s debate over whether the first of these is actually an eclipse, but it’s probably in the ephemeris you’re referring to, so…

    I’m a mad journaller- it’s something about the notebooks, I think. I’ll start a new journal for each major trip, and a new notebook for each fiction project. I also have an astro journal. I used to put all my transits in there. I was still learning about astrology- although, really, there’s never a time…

    Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been talking about dignity and rulership. By now you should have a good idea about what planet rules what part of your chart, and which are your strongest and weakest (relatively speaking) planets. You know which are motivated to act, and which have the power to act. We’re…

    Last week we talked about essential dignities- the relative strength given to a planet based on the sign that it’s in. It’s about having the motivation to act. The thing is, as we know, it’s one thing to be motivated to act- it’s entirely another to have the power to do so…and that’s where accidental…

    We’ve now finished looking at all the traditional planets, but before we look at the outers- Uranus, Neptune and Pluto- we’ll take a mini break and talk a bit about rulerships and dignities…and it’s not just about holding your head high or talking proper-like in civilized company. Dignity, astrologically speaking, can come in many forms.…

    Saturn is about boundaries, contraction, responsibilities, maturity, work, duty, limitations. I’ve suddenly developed a dislike for words ending in “ity.” The questions associated with Saturn questions: Where should you be accepting responsibility? Where should you be pushing yourself to achieve? Where do you need to look to find meaning in life? Where does the pressure…

      Jupiter is about expansion, growth, faith, hope, risks, travel. Jupiter is about learning beyond our limitations; travelling beyond our cultural physical and spiritual boundaries; and taking leaps of faith. When you’re expanding past your waistband instead of into the world you look to Jupiter for answers on these questions: Where should you be expanding?…

    Mars is about energy, action, desire, willpower, stamina, strength, courage, passion, the motivation to go after the things that you want. When your mojo has gone missing, you need to look to Mars to find out what its’ not getting. When it comes to Mars, the question you ask is: what are you really hungry…

    Venus is often called the planet of love. I guess that it is, but it’s represents so much more than love. It’s more about what makes us feel good- and love is one of those things. It’s about what we find beautiful, how we create beauty (or art), how we decorate ourselves, and where we…
