  • Tuesday Toolbox 2.3: Mercury

    Mercury represents messages- the sending of them, the receiving of them, the deciphering of them, the understanding of them. It’s all about perception and communication. It’s how you think; your sense of humour; the sound of your voice; the speed of your learning; the way in which you connect facts and data- and the interest…

  • Tuesday Toolbox 2.2: The Moon

    Let’s talk about the Moon. If the Sun represents our core motivations and vitality, the Moon is about our soul, our unconscious- the way we react to emotional triggers. The things we do without thinking. If the Sun is our will, the Moon is our gut. This sounds quite straight-forward in theory, but what happens…

  • Tuesday Toolbox: Lesson 2.1 The Sun

      Let’s talk about the Sun. You should all know where the sign that your Sun is in…here’s a clue- it’s your star sign. I’m a Pisces, so that means that my Sun was in Pisces at the exact moment that I was born. It is, in essence, the foundation of who I am. Of…

  • Tuesday Toolbox: Season 2

    In this season of seriously mini DIY lessons we’ll be looking at the planets: what they represent, what their motivation is and the way that they talk to each other. This is DIY, so I won’t be spoon-feeding you. What we will be doing is layering. You already have the tools to know: What the…

  • Tuesday Toolbox: Goal Setting with astrology… part 2

    So anyways, last week we talked about how to map your transits- something I do before deciding where to set my goals for the year. If you’ve done yours, you should now have a fair idea about what houses will be your focal points for the year. If you need to refresh your memory on…

  • Tuesday Toolbox- Goal-setting with astrology… part1

    So anyways, I’m back from over five weeks away. We spent three weeks touring around England and Scotland, one week exploring London, and the best part of a week relaxing in Phuket. It really was the trip of a lifetime. I blogged a lot of it, and a few of my photos over on and…

  • Tuesday Toolbox 23

      Ok, I’m on a roll- not literally, of course…after all, I’m still at 40,000 feet somewhere over the Black Sea when I’m writing this. I so love the flight cams on the A380- and the economy cabin service from Etihad is just fabulous. By the time it’s published, though, we’ll be somewhere in the north…

  • Tuesday Toolbox 22

      So anyways, I ran out of time to get these last couple of Tuesday Toolboxes scheduled. It all got way too manic with finishing up at work, and getting all the last minute preparations in place for our holiday. Not to mention getting Big Girls Don’t Cry ready for publication (December the 8th– thanks…

  • Tuesday Toolbox 21

      Are you still with me? Yes? We’re on the home stretch of this little jaunt around the chart without planets. You’ll need your chart again for this. You’ll also need to refer back to Toolbox no 12– the one where we looked at measuring the distance between planets using something called the Zodiac longitude.…

  • Tuesday Toolbox 20

      Ok, so last time we introduced the idea of the phases of the Moon. Today we’ll talk a little bit more about the cycle and over the next couple of weeks we’ll look at what the cycle means to your chart. Along the way, we’ll be introducing the concept of aspects, so if you…
