LEO – THE LION

These gregarious, extravagant creatures rule all other animals, just like the King of the Jungle does. Leos shine with star quality, their charm and charisma attracting a wide audience. Being the centre of attention is essential to a Leo; he achieves this as much through behaving dramatically as he does by sulking. Leo is happiest when performing for others; creative pursuits are vital for a Leo and playing the lead role in these pursuits is equally important. Leos need to be respected and adored by others; life is empty to them without this. Leos make the most loyal and generous

CANCER – THE CRAB

Cancerians are very connected to the sea; the transient moods of Cancerians reflect the lunar influence that causes the ebb and flow of the ocean. Cancerians, like the crab will walk sideways in their pursuit for what they want. They are naturally assertive but do not show it directly. Their tenacious attitude, once intent on a goal, would rather lose a pincer than give up fighting for it. The sensitivity of the Cancerian is protected by a hard shell. They spend half of their life on dry land and the other in deep waters, balancing life between the practical world

GEMINI – THE TWINS

Out of all the signs of the Zodiac, Geminis are the easiest to recognise. It is their incessant chattiness, their social expertise and interest in a diverse range of subjects that gives them away. They normally are youthful looking also. Geminis are the butterflies of the Zodiac, flitting from one flower to another, covering a large surface area but rarely pondering in depth one specific area for fear of missing opportunities. To a Gemini there is a huge, wide world out there that needs to be explored and being tied down to one job, one place and a anything that

TAURUS – THE BULL

Taureans are bestowed with the grace and love of beauty of the Goddess Venus. They love beautiful people, beautiful art, beautiful food, beautiful music. In fact they have good but luxurious taste and do not want to settle for anything in life that lacks quality and sensuality. They treasure both objects and people and their possessiveness makes it difficult to let go of relationships. Taureans are traditional folk whose roots are firmly in tradition. They look for security and all that will endure a lifetime. They share their love of the countryside with the bull and even those Taureans who

ARIES – THE RAM

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, as the sun moves into Aries, the first day of spring begins. Like the dynamic movement of the new shoots pushing through the earth after the winter, you see the energised, vital quality reflected in the personality of the Aries individual. The outgoing Aries loves activity, always having to be where the most action is. Arians charge, horns first into situations with full bravery and courage. The motto ‘Look Before You Leap’ is unheeded by your typical Arian. Arians are at their best when competing and winning and being allowed to express

13th sign, has your sign changed?

Recently an astronomer announced that the discovery of a new star Ophiuchus means that there are 13 signs of the zodiac, not 12. Ophiuchus is in fact a constellation, it’s not a zodiac sign and for this reason it has no relevance or effect on Astrology as astrologers work with zodiac signs rather than constellations. Sun signs can’t be seen in the sky whereas fixed star constellations can. They are very separate. The constellation Ophiuchus was discovered in ancient Greece and is known as the serpent bearer. Astrology was first used thousands of years ago a tool to help man

Mercury retrograde

There are more miscommunications, mistakes, delays, technological mal functions with phones, cars and computers during this time. Enough has been written about the negative effects of Mercury retrograde like delays, mishaps, technological breakdowns etc. I like to focus on the benefits and rewards of these times that I have observed while the cosmic messenger is travelling backwards. It is a time of shifting from left to right brain, a yin time of recharging, reflecting, re-viewing and returning to that which was overlooked and needs to be completed. In our busy technological life of mass data overload, Mercury retrograde provides a

My Sister’s Wedding

My sister’s wedding took place on 9th January 2016, with the ceremony commencing just 10 hours before the new moon. Marriage is Capricornian by nature, with all its tradition, formality and legally binding contract of commitment. So, the exchanging of rings on a Capricorn new moon greatly emphasises the commitment. The action and decisions taken on this day solidifies and secures way into the future. The difference between being in a relationship and tying the knot is usually the sense of increased responsibility for each other, once wed. The stabilising and grounding Capricorn stellium in their wedding chart harmonises nicely

William and Kate’s Davison Chart

In the light of William and Kate’s 5th wedding anniversary on 29th April, I’m writing about their Davison chart. I’m fortunate enough to have Kate’s birth time, as I was requested, from one of the guests who attended their wedding, to write a synastry chart as a wedding gift for the royal couple. The essence and goal of their relationship, shown by the composite Sun’s sign in dynamic fire sign Aries, is to boldly take on action and challenges in a pioneering, highly individual way. Falling in the karmic 12th house of the soul; the growth and learning takes place
