I was doing a workout in my lounge room the other day. I use the Jazzercise on Demand app where I select from a range of workouts and instructors to keep my fitness routine fresh and fun. I’d sweated through the cardio section and we were on the floor doing some strength training when the […]

In 2010, at the ripe old age of 48, and in a last-ditch effort to land myself a high-ticket job that would set me up for retirement, I returned to university to get a law degree. Within 6 months of starting my part-time study I landed an admin role with a small law firm. I […]

I am a very disciplined writer. I organise my projects in Scrivener, set project word targets with deadlines, and have the daily word target, with the progress bar, in a little box off to the right of my writing page. I write 2000 words per day, five days per week, and I write first, before […]

I started my astrology practice in 1998. Back then there was no Zoom, no Skype, no internet (at least not in the easily accessible and useable form of today) and no way to do one-to-one readings for clients other than face to face or via telephone.

The first article in my Cross of Matter series. The four angles in your birth chart—the ascendant (ASC), immum coeli (IC), descendant (DESC), and midheaven (MC)—make up the Cross of Matter. It’s called this because these four angles, and the cross they form, are the foundation of our physical lives. The ASC represents our body, […]

I am a great believer that we are born at a specific moment in time, incarnated with a specific birth chart, with specific parents, in a specific culture, to experience what our soul yearns to experience in this life. All this occurs so that our soul can further develop along its trajectory. I don’t like […]

At the end of 2025 I wrote two articles on Neptune. The first, Neptune – Portal to the Collective Unconscious, was a a contemplation of the power of this mystical master. The second, Deja Vue – The Final Release of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, was a call to action (a very un-Neptunian thing) regarding […]

Imagine this: someone is standing before you, offering you a gift. To accept that gift, you must extend two empty hands and grasp it. But you already have something in your hands. And no matter how hard you try, you cannot put down what you already have in your hands. In fact, it seems as […]

When I had the idea to write a series of articles on the planetary archetypes, I gave credit to Neptune for the inspiration. You see, I have a very, very, very, active imagination, an imagination that can make me do everything from jump at shadows to write and self-publish feminist fantasy fiction novels (check them […]

Draconic astrology, also known as ‘nodal astrology’, points to a person’s life or soul purpose. While a regular (Tropical) chart describes the conditions of our current life, the draconic chart shows what the soul brings to the experience, both as gifts and challenges. The draconic chart is not an alternative to the Tropical chart, but […]
