I always think of a steam train with Mars in Capricorn – the heat, noise and strength of a huge metal object flying along its tracks. When they were first created, they could transport people, animals and goods from one place to another at speeds never seen before in human history. The heat of Mars...
The astrology of the Leo Full Moon 9 February 2020 – 2.33am New York, 8.33am London, 5.33pm Brisbane I came across a story last year about Simone Biles, the 22 yo US gymnast who has won 5 world titles and made the record books for the most medals won by a gymnast ever. Critics had...
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.

Being a fixed sign, it’s the fullness of spring here, with an abundance of colour all around us and the warmth of spring is strongly felt. I know in the Northern Hemisphere the colours come from the autumn leaves dressing the trees...
The Sun moves into Virgo tomorrow and it’s the official start of Virgo season. All the personal planets are in an unusual placement, tightly grouped in one area of the sky. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars have been unlikely travelling companions since they moved into Cancer, one by one, in early June. I watched...
