One of the key functions of the solar principle in the astrology is to provide a facility by which we dignify ourselves, it creates an ideal self-awareness, an aspiration or desirable benchmark of selfhood and thus, we are given cause to strive to attain that sense of ourselves. A badly placed, stressed or underpowered Sun... Continue Reading →
More Marital Breakdown
I would like to very briefly pursue another theme from the previous post and explore a little further some of the implications found within the astrology of Denise Richards, the (now) ex-wife of Charlie Sheen. The couple are still involved in an acrimonious custody dispute over their two children. Back in May Celebrity Justice ran... Continue Reading →
Denzel Washington: Gravitas personified
One of my favourite pastimes as an astrologer is to take a look at the astrology of celebrities and notables that I like and try to discover whether or not my impression of them is at all justified. I used this method to determine which of Federer or Nadal I would support in the Wimbledon... Continue Reading →
Those Elusive Trans-Neptunians…

That's about as much as I can... Continue Reading →
More on Pallas: Powerhouse of Undiluted Talent.
My last article brought together the principles of Cazimi and Peregrination as identifying criteria for the most pure and profound expressions of planetary energy; in my experience there is no better method of identifying a specific astrologic archetype than identifying natives who display either Peregrinations or Cazimi placements. The first forces an 'over-expression' of the... Continue Reading →
Of Cazimi Kings and Queens and Peregrine Powers…
Here's a good question to ask all your hip café-crowd real-world friends next time you're congregating for lattés and croissants down the King's Road: what do Jimmy Page, Annie Lennox and Carole King all have in common? Now the appeal of this question is that everyone is going to have an answer; they're all iconic... Continue Reading →
Alan Watts and the Philosophy of Cazimi and the Quindecile
The following is a continuation of the previous article, below. For a full appreciation of the themes and configurations in Watt's astrology, please refer to the article preceding this. To the casual listener, Alan Watts might well come across as extremely thoughtful, intelligent and insightful, but there is no question that his style was anything... Continue Reading →
