Happy birthday to Dennis Quaid (9 April) who portrayed Jerry Lee Lewis in “Great Balls of Fire”. Lewis controversially married his 13 year old first cousin which sent his career down the proverbial plughole, an event which was central to the film. Quaid’s natal Venus in Taurus was conjunct the singer’s Uranus within an orb of 2 degrees. Both men had Mars in Sagittarius. As tempting as it is, I’ll leave the cheap, lewd jokes to someone else. And if you’re looking for a good film, just check out Dennis Quaid in “Great Balls of Fire”. There are thousands of […] The post Great Balls of Fire appear ..read more

Billie Holiday was born on 7th April 1915 and Diana Ross, who portrayed her in “Lady Sings the Blues” was born almost one Saturn cycle later. Incredibly, the film was released on their Saturn returns in 1972. And. . .”Lady Sings the Blues” was nominated for 5 academy awards including the Best Actress Oscar for Diana Ross. For fans of Billie Holiday, this film is a must see. There are thousands of astrological “coincidences” in “Mirror Mirror” (https://amzn.to/3IrYPU6).

And now for an old favourite. . . In “Boys Town” (released in 1938), there’s no such thing as a bad boy. Spencer Tracy famously played the compassionate Father Flanagan whose philosophy is sorely tested by Mickey Rooney’s Whitey, a young man from the wrong side of the tracks. Tracy’s Pluto and South Node in Gemini are within one degree of Flanagan’s Venus, and Spencer’s descendant in Cancer is exactly conjunct Flanagan’s Sun. Tracy’s portrayal of Flanagan was noted for its sensitivity and the role helped promote the real Boys Town in Nebraska. There are thousands of astrological “coincidences ..read more

Happy birthday to Robert Downey, Jr who played Charlie Chaplin in “Chaplin” (and winning some very impressive awards in the process!). Easter break finds me with some extra time to work on my website and a few other things. Robert Downey Jr (who celebrates a birthday today, 4 April), was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar and won a Golden Globe in the same category for his titular role in “Chaplin”. The real Charlie Chaplin has his Venus in Taurus and Downey Jr has his Moon within one degree. The film was released as transiting Uranus in Capricorn was exactly […] The post Chaplin appeared first ..read more

The 18 August marks the birthday of Antonio Salieri, the alleged rival of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was immortalised in the biopic “Amadeus”. As with many biopics, certain liberties are taken with the storylines with the truth often being distorted to make the protagonist look more like a hero and the antagonist seem more the villian. Whilst rumours circulated about the rivalry between Salieri and Mozart, it is unlikely Salieri had either time, resources or motivation to psycholigally torture Mozart into an early death. If you would like to hear more about famous people and the actors who p ..read more

Well, as usual, it’s been a little crazy on this side and of course I don’t make things any easier on myself by deciding to turn my kitchen upside down and not only re-painting but doing the floor.

I don’t write the type of astrology books that are likely to make it to the top of Amazon’s Top 100. Sun signs aren’t my thing and goddess help me, I couldn’t write a “how to learn astrology” book. The kind of astrology book I wanted write is the type that demonstrates all the really cool things astrology can do. My first book, “Growing Pains” explored the Jupiter and Saturn cycles and how they relate to child development and education. “Mirror Mirror” explored synastry and transits of famous people, the actors that portrayed them and what was happening astrologically that […] The post Amazon ..read more
