I believe it is important to work with children’s charts. However, firm boundaries need to be made and only astrologers with the right training in child protection (including police clearence) should be working with  the charts of children. For many reasons, astrologers should never compromise their consultancy practices by working with unspuervised children. However, understanding the cycles of child development in astrology is a useful tool for the toolkit of any astrologer. For a parent who is struggling with understanding their child (particularly their teenager), this tool is particularly useful and can be easily shared by an astrologer. For those […]

I don’t write the type of astrology books that are likely to make it to the top of Amazon’s Top 100. Sun signs aren’t my thing and goddess help me, I couldn’t write a “how to learn astrology” book. The kind of astrology book I wanted write is the type that demonstrates all the really cool things astrology can do. My first book, “Growing Pains” explored the Jupiter and Saturn cycles and how they relate to child development and education. “Mirror Mirror” explored synastry and transits of famous people, the actors that portrayed them and what was happening astrologically that […]

Last summer I had the pleasure of being interview by the wonderful Steffie James who is the astrologer for several magazines and radio stations. We discussed an astrology parent hack that can really help parents and teachers understand the children in their care. Stef and I met at the Astrological Lodge of London a good decade ago.

Stef is a new mother and I love how she wanted to use astrology to bring out the best in her […]

Well. . .it seems like life is slowly returning to normal and I have a few astrology events coming up. I’ve managed to return to the classroom and I even had a Christmas getaway at a Devon castle with two very big doggies. But it has seemed a bit overwhelming to pull things together–like I’ve gone from 10kph to 100kph in a very short space of time. Of course all this activity is very much helped out by the success of “Mirror Mirror“. Two of the major accomplishments of this busy time was working with Nadiya Shah again (check out […]

Astrology and Schoolchildren? Well, what does the generation who doesn’t know life without the internet think about astrology? As it happens, I recently had an opportunity to check this out when I was contacted by a fellow teacher and invited, as an astrologer, to speak to her Religious Education (RE) students. The Internation Society of Astrological Research (ISAR) published the outcome in their fab magazine and granted me permission to re-publish here. By the way, ISAR will be publishing an extract from my new book “Mirror Mirror: The Astrology of Famous People and the Actors Who Have Portrayed Them”. Just […]
