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
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
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

In the light of William and Kate’s 5th wedding anniversary on 29th April, I’m writing about their Davison chart.

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.

Astrology in Shakespeare’s Plays
Astrology played an important role in Elizabethan society. It was used as a tool for offering answers in medicine, biology, physics and philosophy. Astrologers were very influential in Elizabethan society. Most courts employed an astrologer to help with important decisions. The humanistic and hermetic approach towards astrology were popular at this time. In all of Shakespeare’s plays there are more than a hundred allusions to astrology. Elizabethan poetry contained a cosmic order that encompassed the stars, the planet, the sun and the earth. It is not clear whether Shakespeare himself was in favour of astrology but it is clear that
Have you ever wondered why 2 dogs of the same breed can exude such different behavioural traits? Our pets are influenced by the zodiac in the same way that we are. Dog Astrology gives insight into your dog’s character, helping you to bond more closely with him/her, through understanding his/her needs, as well as idiosyncrasies. As with Astrology for humans, Dog Astrology uses the date, location and time (if known), of the pet’s birth, when creating a birth chart.
