What I know about transits…so far…
In the lead up to Christmas I’ll be posting bits and pieces to help you use astrology to set and achieve your goals in 2017…Tuesday Toolboxes, but not always on a Tuesday. I remember Christmas 2006 well. For one thing, it was just a few months before I turned 40 and I was a bubbling…

Tuesday Toolbox: 5 Reasons to keep an astro journal…
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.

Tuesday Toolbox 2.7: Saturn

Tuesday Toolbox 2.6: Jupiter
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?…

Tuesday Toolbox 2.5: Mars
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…
