In this short piece, using Gemini as a case study, I explore how the essence of a Zodiac sign’s symbol - the twins for Gemini, the lion for Leo etc - can reveal itself so significantly in a biography. And I put my support behind the Sun as not only the key overseeing of individuation but of humanity’s spiritual evolution.
Comet ZTF, first appear only in the Northern Hemisphere earlier in the year, has recently moved in the part of the heavens visible from much of the Southern. In this short post I share a little on its location in the evening skies and some thoughts and links on comets in astrology.
From my recent time in Switzerland I became acquainted with a genre of art referred to as ‘Outsider Art’, or Art Brut. I found the works confronting, exciting, compelling, intriguing, sometimes beautiful, and almost always touching. Given the number of these artists creating out of mental torture from within asylums or psychiatric institutions after often excruciating starts to their lives I was fascinated by implications: who defines ‘normal’ or ‘inside’ (as opposed to ‘outside’)? Is the impulse (and therefore perhaps all art?) Self-generated ‘healing’ or self-soothing? If so, could it lead to ‘cure’? How might the average person, less troubled than these, learn from this? What might we learn from their horoscopes?

Those of you who have read an article I wrote for the New Zealand Journal of Astrology exploring symbols of earthquakes for New Zealand/Wellington in the coming few years may have registered the significance of the first few months of 2019, with its eclipses and various other astrological omens.
In this short post I use this article and its predictions to stimulate thoughts on astrological objectivity. How separate can we ever be from our work?
