Kate Winslet Splits From Sam Mendes – Why?
March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment
It seems like only yesterday that Kate Winslet was staring sweetly into the eyes of her husband Sam, and declaring her undying love for him. Within the last few days it has been revealed that they have come to an amicable split. Kate has jetted off on vacation to Mexico, and is being comforted by friends and Sam is in New England.
What has been happening in Kate’s chart that might have precipitated this? Part of the problem may be that she is a very strong women. She looks as though butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. But with natal Pluto conjunct her Sun and Moon in Libra and on the Ascendant, she is very definitely in charge. Read more

Mars In Leo – Dramarama
October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Mars moves out of Cancer and into Leo on Friday 16 October 2009, where it will get a chance to play with some fixed fire.
What is unusual about this placement is that Mars is going to be here for some time – almost eight months to be exact, until June 7 2010. So whichever part of your chart it is moving through will be buzzing. Mars is retrograde from December 20 2009 – March 09 2010, which brings in a whole other dimension, that I’ll discuss later.
Mars is about energy, fizz and crackle. In our natal charts it shows how we go about getting what we want. Read more

September 28, 2009 | 2 Comments
Within a few weeks on October 29 Saturn will move into Libra. What does this mean and how is it likely to affect our charts and impact on our lives?
Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, and aside from a short period in 2010 from April 08 to July 22 when it moves back into Virgo, it will remain in Libra until October 2012.
As an air sign, Libra is associated with the relationship between one thing and another. The relationship can be between lovers, business partners, design elements, or the balance of ideas and ideals such as between justice and mercy. Read more

Annie Leibovitz – Why Oh Why?
September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Having a keen interest in photography, and the portrait work of Annie Leibovitz, I felt moved to take a closer look at her chart and current transits. I wanted to find out how such a talented and successful woman who has commanded the front covers of Vogue, Vanity fair and Rolling Stones for decades, could be in such dire financial straits.
This is the women who took the last photograph of John Lennon curled up naked alongside a fully clothed Yoko Ono hours before he was shot dead, and the picture of a very pregnant Demi Moore, as well as many other notable creations. She certainly has no shortage of highly paid work. Her chart makes interesting reading. Read more

Prince Harry And Chelsy A Tentative Approach
September 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Prince Harry and Chelsea Davy have been meeting up in secret to discuss the future of their relationship. It seems that since they split earlier in the year Harry has realized just how much Chelsy means to him.
Perhaps he needed time to grow up – as he may have taken her for granted in certain respects. Harry has a wide conjunction between Mars and Uranus, so he tends to act first and think later. This is one side of him. There is another side where he can be something of a dark horse especially when it comes to revealing his true feelings. Read more

Simon Cowell – A Survival Guide!
August 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Simon Cowell has become famous on both sides of the Atlantic for his outspoken and extremely blunt criticisms of up and coming pop and talent hopefuls. He says he is not rude – just honest. The record industry needs ‘his’ approach because it is overrun with Yes Men. He sees his criticisms as being necessary in order for contestants to survive and become successful. They need to hear the truth because how else will they learn by their mistakes and thrive in an environment which is known to be notoriously difficult and bitchy.
But would you also guess that Simon is a Libra, with his Sun, Mars and Mercury in this balanced and supposedly peace loving sign? This may be surprising if we don’t take a closer look at the sign of Libra and what it is and isn’t. Read more

Every astrologer needs accurate verifed data in order to work their trade, and beyond this to delve more deeply into the possibilities and potentials contained in the study of astrology. So Frank Clifford, founder of the London School Of Astrology has done a wonderful job with his latest book which contains 150 profiles of famous people and includes celebrities, sports people, politicians, scientists, historical figues of note and innovative and leading citizens of our time.
There are a number of reasons why I would highly rate this book. His association with Lois Rodden the now deceased Queen of Data, means that he is committed to high standards in this field. Read more

Venus In Cancer – Kitsch And Cuddles
August 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Venus has just moved into Cancer which puts the focus on food, mothering and sometimes smothering relationships. Depending on how many planets you already have in Cancer, and whether your Moon is there or not – you may find this combination of energies either suits you or repels you – sometimes it can do both.
Those with Venus in Cancer can be difficult to get to know and also quite moody. You can never be sure who you will encounter on a daily basis as the emotions rise and fall like waves on the ocean. Sometimes they can be tickled pink by the craziest things and at others driven to a sullen darkness by someone who has hurt their tender feelings. Read more
