Astrology often enters the wider cultural conversation through moments of transition—both personal and collective. Over time, my work has focused on how long-term planetary cycles intersect with lived experience, education, and social change, rather than short-term prediction or trend-led commentary.

That approach has recently been reflected in editorial coverage distributed via Apple News, (sorry it’s behind a paywall) where Saturn cycles and life-stage transitions were discussed in a mainstream cultural context. Seeing this work referenced beyond specialist astrological circles is always meaningful, particularly when astrology is treated as a framework for understanding change rather than as spectacle.

Looking back, many of the moments that have shaped my work have come through international collaboration. One of my favourite photographs—now added to my biography—was taken at the 2018 East Meets West Astrology Conference, which I co-organised with the Institute of Vedic Culture. The image shows a hand-knitted jumper I made for astrologer Gopal Bhattacharjee, a small but personal reminder that scholarship, cultural exchange, and community often go hand in hand.

More recently, themes I have written about—including the symbolism of Algol and Uranus in relation to public figures and institutional accountability—have re-emerged in the news cycle. An article exploring these ideas in relation to the British Royal Family has gained renewed relevance as Uranus completes its final passage across Algol, coinciding with fresh developments involving Prince Andrew. My work in this area has always focused on long-term planetary patterns rather than isolated events, and it is within that broader context that such moments are best understood.

Together, these strands—research, teaching, collaboration, and editorial engagement—reflect an ongoing commitment to astrology as a serious, ethically grounded discipline with real-world application.
