Safeguarding and Child Protection in Astrology

This article was originally published in the Organization for Professional Astrology magazine, The Career Astrologer in March 2020. It is the first part of a four part series. Safeguarding and Child Protection guidelines are pretty much universal in agreement. These guidelines aim to do exactly as they say. Adults who work directly with children receive special training that enables them to protect the children in their care. The training also protects the adult from unwittingly putting themselves in compromised positions. In schools, this training is regarded to be so important that it is updated at the start of every term. […]

Between a Sock and a Hard Place: Astrological Dreamwork

With transiting Mars and Neptune in Pisces opposing my natal Uranus/Pluto conjunction, I’ve been attracting a lot of clients who request dream interpretations. Dreamwork has long been a fascination of mine. Having grown up in an Ojibwa household, I hold great respect for what our unconscious mind tries to tell us. You see, when you sleep your spirit is free to roam the world. Your dreams are what we remember of its adventures. Asibikaashi, the spider grandmother, taught women how to make dreamcatchers to protect children from nightmares. Any bad experience the spirit encountered would not be able to re-enter […]

Mystic Moments (video lecture)

The Jeffrey Wolf Green School of Evolutionary Astrology invited me to speak about mystic moments. I’ve spoken on this topic before but I’m always updating and adding new case studies. I began collecting accounts of mystic moments after my experience of one while staying in an ashram in the temple city of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand India. What I’ve noticed about mystic moments is that their astrology charts contain and abundance of the quintile and septile aspects. I get a little nerdy in this video but I like numbers looking at astrology differently to other astrologers. I’ll be updating this lecture again […]

Oh Be Quiet About Ophiuchus

I CANNOT believe we’re going through this nonsense again. After a friend alerted me that Good Morning Britain had brought in “experts” to talk about Ophiuchus, I had to get busy. Just as we think we can forget how to spell “Ophiuchus”, the topic comes up again. I try not to grumpy about this but it gets rather tiresome. This story comes up every couple of years and I get panic-stricken messages because someone thinks their Sun sign has changed. And the story is used by NASA to bash astrology. So let me slow down and explain why your sign […]

Tales from the ‘Titanic’

We hear so much about Kate and Leonardo in the movie Titanic that the real star of the show, Gloria Stuart is overlooked.  In case the name isn’t familiar, Gloria played Rose as an old woman. It is her story, her romantic liaison with a poor boy from a different social class to hers that we are listening to when we watch the film. Gloria was a classic actress of the silver screen. Titanic star Gloria Stuart was born 4 July 1910, 11pm in Santa Monica CA. She was of the right age and physical beauty to be involved in the […]
