Harmonic Case Studies: 7H (Jim Morrison)

David Hamblin indicates that a connection between planets in the 7H chart is romantic in nature. The native is inspired by the idea of bringing them together and may fantasise about this which affects his view of the world. An immediate reaction to the 7H chart is one of more ease than that of the 5H chart because there are more trines, suggesting that Morrison could more easily and fluently bring his fantasies to life without so much effort. Although the chart contains a T Square (Node, Moon, Mercury), the 7H chart has more trines and fewer squares and sextiles. […]

9 Ways to Use Astrology to Help Your Child Cope With Secondary School (2016)

Pupils born between 1 September 2004 and 31 August 2005 will be gearing up to start secondary school in September. Studies show that pupils who are new to secondary school experience a dip in academic performance.

Strong support networks need to be in place to help these children cope with this process to avoid lack of progress or even regression.

Susan Boyle: Dreaming the Dream

Fame is an odd thing: some people pursue it relentlessly, those who have it sometimes try to get away from it, some fantasise about it but will never get it and some get it when they don’t want even want it.
