I have been transfixed this morning by the question of Chiron's rulership. I was reading some of Barbara Hand-Clow's 'Liquid Light of Sex' (another great discussion of astrology in disguise) and she referred to the fact of Chiron being struck by Achilles' poisoned arrow in his left foot. This immediately got me thinking about rulership.... Continue Reading →
I have done a fair amount of research on the quintile; as you may know it is a fifth harmonic aspect which John Addey always associated with the use and abuse of power; because of the occult significance of the pentagram it is considered by some to be an aspect which requires activation lest it...

Ceres, Pallas and Vesta are somewhat understood in the astrology, and all seem worthy of attention based upon size alone (for those who consider such factors significant!), but far less is understood about Hygeia, the fourth largest asteroid in the belt between Mars and Saturn. It is not a great deal smaller than either Vesta... Continue Reading →
I realised after receiving some feedback on my last post that I should have framed my discussion with greater prudence. The purpose of Pluto is in my view to act as a generational lesson; the consensual effect of Pluto's position often leads to the human race having to confront undesirable aspects of its own nature,...

To say that Pluto is the final arbiter of all human life is mythically accurate, and though it might sound like a rather dramatic statement to make, it nevertheless has some considerable truth to it in mundane human life. We all understand that Pluto is dignified in Scorpio and detrimented in Taurus, and I have... Continue Reading →
Continuing then with Chiron in Pisces through the houses: 7th House: With Chiron in Pisces here there are often difficulties within close relationships based upon an inability to set proper boundaries, a sense of being overwhelmed by relationship issues, or being taken for granted in your marriage or in other close partnerships. You may be... Continue Reading →
Chiron is little understood in the overall scheme of the astrology, however I believe this to be because there are very few individuals who are attuned to chirotic energy, which to manifest at all in the life, requires a real awakening to the compassionate sense; such an awareness is not usually gained without a considerable...

To promote and celebrate my new monthly column in Digital Photo Pro magazine, I am planning to extend my analysis of all matters photographic in the astrology and prove that it is possible to identify both the ability and the opportunity to carry on a photographic career by looking in detail at specific cases. I... Continue Reading →
Uranian astrology is an interesting study. I have always been a big fan of Ebertin's Cosmobiology ever since I read my grandfather's copy of "The Combination of Stellar Influences", which my decidedly odd adolescent brain found to be strangely compelling and to this day I find Ebertin's delineations to be among the best. Of course... Continue Reading →
Among the greatest misconceptions in astrology is the exaltation of rules above principles, because it is all too easy to forget that the rules are derived from observed principles, not the other way around. The astrologer that comprehends the principle that underpins the rule is then able to discard the rule-bound logic of the mind,... Continue Reading →
Before I even start today, a big thank you to the lovely Elsa for writing me up yesterday 🙂 One of my recent avenues of research, has been to look at the historical basis of the parallel and contraparallel; I am especially intrigued by the possibility since the conjunction across the plane of the ecliptic...

I have spoken at some length about peregrination in previous articles, today, I would like to explore some actual placements and try to ascertain a quality for each of the signs of the zodiac. The simplest way of ascertaining this quality then is to consider the voice, speech and communicative mannerisms of those who have... Continue Reading →
