The Footprints of Gemini - revelations of a ...

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.

Madge Hill, Outsider Artist: an astrological ...

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?

An Inter-Planet Cycles Index: Charting The Global Breath

This article explores an Index calculated from the 10 possible synods or inter-planet cycles from Jupiter through to Pluto, simply based on whether the cycle is waxing or waning. The background astronomical and interpretive ideas behind an inter-planetary cycle are given, using the Moon-Sun synod as an archetype. The graph arising from a conflation of all the cycles, calculated for the period 1840 - 2050, is given and briefly discussed, with a few key world events and trends located on significant parts of the graph.

Some notes on the chart of the UK Parliamentary Election, 12th December 2019

In this short analysis I explore the astrological map drawn for the opening of voting on Election Day 2019 to see whether it yields any hints as to which party may have the upper hand in this hard-to-predict UK election. I also look at key leaders’ and party charts, including a proposal for a new birth time for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
