In 1979 a Tory government came in to power lead by Margaret Thatcher, at the time the UK economy was considered to be facing severe problems, including inflation running in to double figures. In seeking to amend this Thatcher's government immediately raised taxes and interest rates and made cuts to public spending, particularly welfare and social security spending. These policies were to hit the

My second love after astrology is photography, it’s a recently acquired hobby in relation to astrology but it’s grabbed me. A friend persuaded me to join Flickr and I soon discovered that there is a wonderful group of people there. Indeed I have made many

Every year in January I lead a discussion at the Suffolk Astrological Society looking at an overview of the year. As anyone who does Mundane astrology knows this involves looking at a lot of charts. My method is to look at ingress and eclipse charts. Using tight orbs I tend to just see what jumps out at me, I make brief notes on my perceptions in order to open up the charts for discussion. In

How often do you think to yourself I wish I had done that? It's exactly how I feel having failed to go public with some of the predictions I made in January this year. I have witnesses to prove I made the predictions but it is not quite the same is it? What were the predictions? Amongst other things I predicted that an election would be held sometime in May and that there would be no overall

This, or “how can you divide everyone into 12 types?” are questions that astrologers are often asked. The simple answer is that we don’t. Here’s a little joke to lighten the proceedings before you read on...… Heaven is where the cooks are French, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the cooks are

Horrible title isn't it, but hey I had to get your attention. In all my years as an astrologer I've never turned my hand to sun sign forecasting. But you know us Geminis, we will try anything once. I've no idea of the usual method of sun sign predictions so I did the Gemini thing and invented my own method. I guess time, the year and your feedback will show whether the method works.CapricornThe

On Thursday 15th October we were all transfixed by the boy in the balloon saga. A home made aircraft, variously described as a 'flying saucer' or a 'hot air balloon', had been accidentally released. It was feared a 6 year old boy was inside as he had reportedly been seen climbing inside by his older brother. The boys home was searched, failing to find any sign of the six year old lad.The balloon

With Saturn treading heavily as it squared my Gemini planets during the last few weeks I decided it was time for a spring break. I Googled and discovered that  Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent was one of the top 10 UK holiday destinations.

Who is Zezi Ifore? It's a question I've found myself asking since her disastrous appearance as a presenter of the Program Big Brother's Little Brother, or BBLB as the program is known to its fans. All we know astrologically of Zezi is that she is an Aries born in 1985.  Knowing this we can see that along with the Sun, she also has Mercury and Venus in Aries.  As with all people with an Aries

Every time I think of something interesting I think to myself, “I should Blog about that” but being a Gemini the thought just drifts away as I get distracted by other things. So this post is an attempt to go running after all those loose thoughts that have drifted out of my mind recently.I’ll start by blogging about blogging, or rather blog posts and articles.

11th December 2008, Venus, the planet which symbolises women is in Saturn ruled Aquarius. The Moon, symbol of the feminine starts the day in Venus ruled Taurus and ends the day in Mercury ruled Gemini. During the course of the day the only aspect the Moon and Venus will make is a trine to each other, thus the day is bringing the feminine into focus. So how was the feminine brought into focus? On

What do we expect from the BBC? (Click to see the BBC's chart) Its colloquial nickname 'Auntie Beeb' somehow sits well with both the Sun and chart ruler Venus sitting in 4th house Capricorn, meanwhile its own mission statement, which states it wants "to enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain,"1 can be seen in the 3rd house Saturn, Moon and Mercury.So

Astrologers often debate the rights and wrongs of predicting death. Most avoid it if at all possible, reasoning that it is ethically and morally wrong. Yet like ghouls we pick over the pieces of major disasters to see if it could have been foreseen. So we can be said to be guilty of double standards because when dozens die in a disaster each and every one of those deaths is an individual

So yesterday (14th Feb) transiting Mars trined my ascendant, transiting Jupiter also opposed natal Uranus. Is there a good guy and a bad guy aspect here? No it’s all interlinked! Trines indicate that things come easy, but if the things indicated are big upsets then big upsets are what will come easy.Natally I have Mars square Moon and in a wide opposition to Jupiter, I also have Uranus in Cancer

Many years ago when I was first learning astrology I was given a piece of advice I’ve never forgotten. It was “If you want to know how something works in a chart, ask someone who has it in their chart.” With this in mind I’m going to share my experiences of progressed moon in the 12th house hoping it will help you understand it.Deborah Houlding has methodically researched the traditional meaning

Mars will come to the end of its retrograde period soon. Have you noticed how many people have been angry since it went retrograde on November 15th. If not angry then people seem to be lacking in energy or stressed. Mars is not best placed in Cancer, and being retrograde doubles the woes. During its period of being retrograde Mars started by mutually applying to a square of Venus, it will end its

So here we are out of the shadow of Mercury and it’s time for an update, but where to start! I said more than once that this last retrograde period was more retrograde than retrograde.First of all an update on my ISP.

Mercury retrograde is a frustrating time for all forms of communication; mail, deliveries, phone systems and computer network to name a just a few. Short journeys are not immune either. Some astrologers issue dire warnings about signing contracts and making decisions during this time. But in astrology, as in all things, there are ways to make difficult periods work for you. So how do we make the

Astrologers, and some non-astrologers, are well aware of the Mercury Retrograde phenomenon.When a planet is described as 'retrograde' it is appearing to go backwards in the sky. Of course it doesn't really go backwards. It's like being in a train as a faster, train goes past, and you feel like the train you are in is going backwards, when you're not at all. Mercury experiences a retrograde cycle
