Educator’s Astrology
May 26, 2020
Marvin woke up from a good night’s sleep and just knew it was going to be a great day. He stretched and yawned and flexed his feet, feeling ridiculously happy about the day ahead of him. It was the first time in a long time he had felt this happy and relaxed about the day ahead. Leaping out of bed, he again stretched and then did as many push ups as he could—he didn’t think twenty five was too bad for someone who had put more energy into avoiding gym class than in actually attending. Push ups done, he then […]

This article on astrology and education originally appeared in Dell Horoscope, the world’s leading astrology magazine. My new article “When a Flower Speaks” appears in the May/June 2018 issue. Dismissed for their lack of precision, non-replicable results and miniscule databases, modern day astrologers are often ridiculed by their skeptics.

My research into adolescent behaviour and lunar phases first made the astrology headlines with […]

With things heating up with the Prince Andrew scandal, I thought it might be time for a little update on this article. Because, wouldn’t you know it, Prince Andrew has his natal Moon opposite to Algol and the Sun is about to transit it! Thank you to Facebook friends for pointing this out! I had been steadfastly ignoring Andrew for years, not really considering him a key player in the Royal Family once William started having children. I’ve just (13 January) re-read this article and check out what I’ve written about Meghan and Harry! Scroll down to the last few […]

I can’t believe it’s been two years since the death of Jonathan Cainer on 2 May 2016. Many astrologers — as well as many fans and admirers — were affected by his passing. As my own children grew up with his and as he played such a huge role in shaping my life, I still find it very difficult to talk about him. But Jon still drops in for a visit every now and again. He still tells me I worry far more than I should. I get the idea he might be impressed with what I’m doing. As the […]
