(This is the introduction to my new book ‘How Astrology Works’, published by Perrault on January 7th, 2019) As a professional astrologer of over twenty five years, the subject of ‘how astrology works’ has always fascinated me. However, according to scientists like Richard Dawkins astrology is ‘demeaning and cheapening’, at least if one must get […]
Finance and Astrology – Can the Planets Make You Rich?
Can finance and astrology be meaningfully related? Part One in this series can be found here, but as the whole of astrology is about the effect of cyclic activity, it should be reasonable to assume that, in the discipline that is Financial Astrology, there should be some connection to so-called Business Cycles. As Christina D. Romer […]
The Knights Templar – Separating Fact from Fiction
The Knights Templar are those medieval warrior monks, that infamous ‘militia of Christ’ of popular imagination. And yet, they were the subject of speculative fantasy long before the more recent spate of books connecting them to secret knowledge about Jesus, or the Freemasons, or the alleged Lost Treasure of Jerusalem. On this latter, the Knights […]

What is the Tarot – Fortune Telling or Divining Your Spiritual Path?
Just what is the Tarot? Is it some vestige of the Occult that should have died out – a bogus type of fortune telling? If so, how do we account for its popularity among serious students of magic and psychology? Could it be more like a sublime archetypal system of Divination in pictorial form? A […]
The Astrology of Brexit – What Will Happen Next for the Tories?
As I write these words, Theresa May is still under immense pressure (some have called it a threat) from Eurosceptic Tory MPs, on both front and back benches, over her handling of the Brexit negotiations and what they expect her to deliver. These hard Brexiteers (Brexit, seemingly, at any cost) have recently been described as […]
Donald Trump in 2018 – The Astrological View
The most extraordinary aspect of Donald Trump’s unusual presidency is how early and how often the word “impeachment” has been used. No other president in American history, including those who have actually been impeached, have had this possibility hanging over their heads in their first year in office.1 Elsewhere on this site I have looked […]
