Aspects for the week beginning 11 September 2011
Today the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the fall of the twin towers in New York, is marked astrologically by an opposition between Mercury and Chiron. If you grappled with last week’s confusion in the shape of Mercury opposite Neptune, you may find that, with today’s similar aspect involving Chiron you reach the nub of the [...]

Aspects for the week beginning 14 August 2011
All Astrologers were able to predict that last week held the potential for violence, and that it would be on a grand scale, with a T-square between Mars, Pluto and Uranus. The surprise was that it happened in England, first on the streets of London, and then spreading to other cities. This is the same [...]

Aspects for the week beginning 17 July 2011
All sorts of side stories have had to be pushed aside this week, in order to look at the all-encompassing story of the dissolving empire of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Aspects for the week beginning 12 June 2011
This week has seen further international pressure for Syria’s government to stand down or at least stop killing its own citizens. President Bashar Al-Assad heads another dictatorship in the Middle East, but one being treated very differently than that of Muammar Al-Ghaddafi in Libya. Bashar has a very different personality than the colourful Ghaddafi, and [...]

Aspects for the week beginning 22 May 2011
In a week where Venus and Mars have been interacting closely, the issue of rape has been very much in the news, and other issues of the relations between the sexes. The first character to bring the issue to prominence this week was Dominique Strauss-Kahn, high profile all week. He has a testosterone-filled conjunction of [...]

The Alternative Vote – An Astrological and Karmic Perspective
The opportunity to vote for or against the Alternative Vote is coming up on Thursday, a consequence of the Coalition. The Coalition itself was a consequence of the hung parliament which arose as a result of last year’s election. The hung parliament was an expression of the deadlock of the t-square between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, the aim of [...]
Aspects for the week beginning 17 April 2011
I’ve been avoiding writing about Libyan defector Moussa Koussa for weeks because I have seen 3 different phonetic interpretations of the spelling of his name and I didn’t want to have to choose. But he does seem to have become a bridge or symbol of past and future karma between Britain and Libya. Moussa Koussa’s [...]
