The older I get the more I see that those who know little think they know much, but those who know much are conscious of how little they know. In the grand scheme of things I know that I know nothing… but here are some things I am pretty confident about.
Read MoreI celebrated my 50th birthday last year, and am currently experiencing another important milestone, my Chiron Return. This occurs when the planet (that isn’t a planet) Chiron returns to the position it occupied at birth, bringing with it the opportunity for deep, inner transformation and healing. It takes fifty years to travel round the entire chart, so I probably won’t see another one, and that’s what makes it special. Of course, being aware of this sometime in advance I set things up so that I could max out this magical portal, and I am happy to report that so far it’s been a very rich and beneficial, though occasionally challenging, experience.
Read MoreOnce upon a time the questions most frequently asked of me during readings and consultations were “does he love me?” and “is he coming back to me?”
Then, as the years passed, the questions became more about work and career. Relationships still figure high on peoples list of concerns, but not anywhere to the degree they used to. A shift has occurred, perhaps in me, certainly in the people I meet.

By now everyone must have heard this word, used to describe those who have achieved a state of enlightenment and knowledge which enables them to magically see oppression, inequality, and injustice in ways that previous generations were blind to.
Read MoreIn this conversation Socrates explains that the world is made from triangles, which piece together with other triangles to make the solid objects we see today. Of course, he didn’t mean this literally (although mathematics confirms that it is actually kind of true). He meant that triangles – and the number 3 – are where things become visible and solid. Incidentally, after he finishes explaining about triangles, he goes on to tell his friends about Atlantis. But that is a story for another day…
Read MoreSomeone asked me the other day how they should best cope with the latest round of shocking events on Planet Earth 2020. I knew her quite well, so I jokingly said “You are ringside at the Fall of Rome. Enjoy it!” She did not laugh, which I suppose was fair enough. So I explained that what I meant was events – though they may seem interesting and important - are not where the action really is…
