We are in unprecedented times, in uncharted waters. You only have to look at news all over the world to see that. Often we fear the unknown and struggle back to what is familiar and yet the known keeps us stuck in the past, away from new possibilities. When we get down to basics, really...
As Venus now draws us into the world of Pisces she draws our attention to the whimsical and imaginative. As a child, I loved reading fairytales, drawn in by the fantastical tales of magic, hope and often love. So this placement often takes me back to that time, hours spent happily reading alone, wrapped in...
Lunar Eclipse at 22 deg Cancer – Brisbane 5.15am Saturday 11 January, London Friday 10 January 7.21am, New York Friday 10 January 2.21pm. Most Australian and English children will know the Bear Hunt song and its original book by Michael Rosen, describing an intrepid group of explorers that head out into the “wild” to catch a bear, only...
Mars always loves a mission, and as the great activator just moved into the archer’s sign of Sagittarius, his charge now is the ultimate search for truth and higher meaning, seeking the bigger picture. I always think of Shaolin monks with this placement, the Chan (Zen) Buddhist monks with elite warrior training who revere all...

As the Sun joins both Jupiter and Venus in Sagittarius, we have the three most benefic planets in this optimistic, hopeful sign. Lifting our eyes from the navel gazing of Scorpio Season is like slipping on...
As the fiery planet enters its own realm, it heaves a sigh of relief and starts to get back to work. Mars in Scorpio is powerful and passionate, in a subtle almost mysterious way. He is intense in the depths of Scorpio, a smouldering fire here and his piercing nature demands honesty, loyalty and depth...
