10 Reasons Why You Should Get Yourself to an Astrology Conference (even if it’s online)

I HIGHLY recommend that starry fans attend at least one conference for astrologers (even if it’s online!!_in their lifetime. The International Society of Astrological Research (ISAR) is putting on their astrology conference 10-14 September 2020 in Westminster Colorado and this one is one of my favourites for a lot of reasons. But check out a few of the others–they are diverse, affordable and a lot of fun! At the time of writing, we’re not sure if it will join the FABBO NORWAC conference in being online or if it will be live. It looks increasingly like the former but we’ll […]

One of the UK’s TOP THREE Astrology Websites?

So out of the blue, I got an email informing me that this website is one of the UK’s TOP THREE astrology websites! This site was chosen by a panelist from the Top 10 UK Astrology Blogs! I’m especially delighted as I’ve also just completed the arduous task of writing 14 astrology conference reviews! I’ve beautifully linked the reviews altogether in my article “10 Reasons Why You Need to Get Yourself to an Astrology Conference”. This project has been something I’ve been working on for some time now. It’s wonderful when things come together at the right time. I’m hoping […]

Astro-X-Ray: Astrology and Alex Trenoweth

In 2016, I was interviewed by Victor Olliver for the Astrological Journal about my astrology life. Nearly four years have passed since this interview and much has happened since. I like how this captures the naive me who would embrace so many opportunities in a very near future. I had energy, optimism. . .and a great big dose of Jovian faith! Maybe things have not changed so much. . . One thing I remember when doing this interview: the flower question! I told Victor I didn’t go around sniffing random flowers and if I did sniff a flower, I probably […]

The Search For Scarlett O’Hara

Vivian Leigh brought the character of Scarlett O’Hara to life like no other actress could. “Gone With the Wind” is having its Uranus return in 2020 so it’s a great time to look back on this article. The astrology of “Gone With the Wind” can be found in this article: “Gone With the Wind” The Zodiacal Parade“. Please note that as of July 2020, this article was temporarily withdrawn from this site because its updated version (including commentary on Olivia de Havilland) now appears in ISAR’s Journal. It will be re-posted later in the year. Before we go any further, please […]

In Cold Blood: the Book that Shocked America

On 14 November 1957, the Clutter Family was murdered in cold blood by intruders. The non fiction novel based on the murders, “In Cold Blood”, was written by the American author Truman Capote. The book detailed the horrific murder of the Clutter family. Completed in 1966, just after the execution of the perpetrators, “In Cold Blood” was an instant bestseller. Arguably, Capote also made the two murderers, Richard Hickok and Perry Smith posthumously famous. However, Capote was condemned for using the gruesome details of the murders to bring attention to his book. More recently, “In Cold Blood” has been criticised for […]
