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 […]

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 […]

In short, transformational astrology is the use of the birth chart for self-discovery, healing, growth and change. A nice, neat definition.
