This week I am discussing the opposite of peace...hate and how it can manifest in the chart. Both have Pluto in the 12th and even if the birth time of Taylor might not be correct, their chart shape and Katy's Scorp Asc with Sun & Pluto conjunct in the 12th is the fuel. Katy Perry Bowl chart. Scorpio Asc, Sun Scorpio in the 12th, Moon Scorpio in 1st...note all those Scorpio planets...   Taylor Swift Bucket chart Scorpio Asc, Sun Sag in 1st, Moon Cancer (conjunct Jupiter) in the 8th....

Once again (unfortunately) I'm sharing a UK chart with no birth time. I apologise for that, but there we go, this happens quite a bit in my work (!) Do scroll down the page for the charts to indicate the transits when the Web was 'invented'. Tim Berners-Lee natal Using Whole Sign and 6am time: Sun Gemini, Moon Capricorn. Locomotive chart shape. Note Uranus conjunct Jupiter.   His mother Mary Lee-Woods Sun Pisces conjunct Uranus/Mercury. Moon Gemini. Also Locomotive chart.   His father Conway Berners-Lee Sun Virgo, Moon Aries. Sun conjunct Saturn/Jupiter Double-handled Bucket chart shape..or once again could be a Locomotive. Tim's first proposal Transits are in green on the outside. Note: transiting Moon conjunct natal Venus in Taurus. Transiting Saturn AND Neptune conjunct natal Moon in Capricorn. Transiting Pluto conjunct natal Saturn. All indicating he was 'taking this seriously'. Second proposal. Transiting Mars conjunct natal Sun in Gemini Transiting Saturn has now moved and Neptune and Uranus are bec

How EVERY sign of the Zodiac is now being affected by the Outer Planets   I've made a chart just to show exactly where the outer planets are at the moment..and below I've added a reminder to demonstrate how these outer planets being in Taurus, Capricorn and Pisces will affect ALL the other signs...that's YOU we are talking about here! They'll either oppose, or square YOUR Sun sign....(or conjunct) Unless you are a Pisces, then you can celebrate bcoz Neptune is your natural ruler and will help you become a better version of yourself..provided you stay truthful, honest and realistic. Here's the link to my Newsletter article discussing this in March earlier this year https://mailchi.mp/6a7e4aa27709/you-will-survive Planet    Squares           Opposes     Sextiles             Trines                  Aries Cancer Capricorn Libra Aquarius Gemini Leo Sagittarius Taurus Uranus Leo Aquarius Scorpio Cancer Pisces Virgo Capricorn Gemini Virgo Pisces Sagittarius Aries Leo Libra Aquari

This week we are working with Andy and Walter's charts Here is Andy's natal chart. See-Saw chart. Libra Asc = relationship/s are VERY important Sun in Cancer in the 10th, working as a family, working for family, making work into family. Moon in Aquarius in the 5th conjunct Uranus, freedom very important to 'be creative' in whatever way is necessary. Emotionally further away from one feelings, more likely to identify with those that are oppressed.   Partnered with Walter. Bowl-shape chart with a cluster in the 5th Virgo Asc = attention to detail, more shy possibly, needing things to be 'perfect'....cleanliness important etc  Sun Capricorn in the 5th= needing to 'shine', to be recognised and thanked and acknowledged. Moon in Aquarius in the 6th, freedom to love in whatever way allows more freedom...possibly worries about health (6th house) Cluster of planets in the 5th= a Stellium!

This week I am discussing Arabic Parts: Their history and use in a chart. (Refer back to Episode 57 for discussion on the Part of Fortune.) Here is the website you can use to find your parts: http://libracentre.com/arabic_parts_chart.php You will need to start with your own chart and use your Ascendant sign and degree and the planet's signs and degrees. There is always some sort of calculation like Asc-Sun+Moon or whatever. Astro.com will only provide you with the Part of Fortune, which is extremely useful. The libra website will give you the calculation, it's your job to make sense of it and what it might mean for you. Experiment and let me know how you get on! My Part of Fortune is 29 Scorpio 22'41" ...nothing is happening with that until Nov and Dec this year. Find your Parts or Lots and use this years Ephemeris to find out what might be transiting yours.

Kate Tempest: performance poet. Scorpio Asc, Sun Capricorn in 2nd, Moon Taurus in 6th. Cluster, Bowl chart. Indigo. Sun conjunct Neptune.   Chart for when her career took off: The specific dates were from 4th-22nd Sept of this first performance that got her nominate for the Ted Hughes prize. The Moon started in Taurus (her own Moon sign) and transited into Sagittarius, so went all the way round through the part of her chart that's empty and ended conjunct her cluster in the 1st. Uranus as you'll see is now in her 5th house of creativity. https://youtu.be/QdE0BkP95Ng In this clip she is performing in London live to 120 prisons in London and Wales. Watch how she picks herself up when she momentarily gets overwhelmed with what she's actually doing and almost forgets the words and makes a wonderful recovery. This is a (short) part of the poem Brand New Ancients she performed in Sept 2012 at The Battersea Arts Centre in London.

Bit of a hippy episode this week (might be bcoz I've just got back from Glastonbury Festival) It was sparked by this article which I read while I was researching for my Newsletter  https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/01/why-the-hippy-message-of-glastonbury-healing-field-sounds-like-common-sense This is my Newsletter article, it's all about Feeling Overwhelmed https://mailchi.mp/03c093fb1686/how-overwhelm-needs-to-be-resolved?e=b9890df028 If you're learning Astrology and also other practices such as Yoga or Transcendental Meditation, you'll need to check your chart and find out where Neptune is in your chart, where it's transiting now and if Pluto might be aspecting your natal Neptune....something will be going on, so check it out!

Continuing on from last weeks podcast with the question about houses...I am now covering Alice's spiritual purpose. Using the North Node in Gemini in the 4th house.

Rulerships is in Episode 62 http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-sixty-two  

This week I am responding to a valuable question from 'Alice' who has asked about if I could: help me understand more about the choice between equal house and placidus This actually isn't such an easy question to answer, without explaining about the two systems and how they differ and why I prefer the Equal House System (which is the oldest system)...Placidus came about in the seventeenth century....he died in 1688 (according to Margaret E Hone in her The Modern Text Book of Astrology 1980) First off, you need to understand that if you were born higher-up the World as in Greenland, Placidus doesn't work because it uses time, and is based on an artificially equalised subdivision of the naturally unequal amounts of time a degree of the zodiac spends in each quadrant. Here is the chart I tried to create on Astro.com. for Doris  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_J._Jensen   Astro.com automatically converted my request into the Porphyry System (second oldest system) you can see that written in red at the top of

This week I am talking about my Dad's chart. I have discussed him before in Episode 95 re our Family Tree. In this Episode we are looking in more detail at his chart shape and planet placements. We will also hear a clip of what someone with Mercury so near the Ascendant sounds like! Sag Ascendant, Sun in 1st, Moon in Libra in the 10th conjunct Saturn...and Mercury in Sag near the Ascendant. Birth date is on the day that the Sun changes sign into Capricorn. As he was born in the morning the Sun was still in Sagittarius 29 degrees in that year 1921.

This week I am quoting from Donna Cunningham's fab book The Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook on how to talk with people. Her (wonderful) book is still available here https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/consulting-astrologers-guidebook/author/donna-cunningham/ She calls it: 'talking to various planetary types.'
