Joyful heartfelt times!
As I have written before, during my time in the USA, Thanksgiving was always my favourite time. A time where most people (well, when I lived in Provincetown anyway!), went from Thanksgiving to Christmas to the New Year, taking as many days off in between as they could get away with and doing as little work as possible.
Joyful heartfelt times indeed!
Whole families moving across the USA to reunite with their loved ones for those sacred few days. No fuss or palaver about presents, or trees or tinsel or Christmas decorations. It was all about showing gratitude for the fami ..read more

About my Creative Relocation Package…
It has been so exciting to work on my forthcoming Creative Relocation Package, which will be launched on Friday 15th December. As I have explained in several recent social media posts, the reasons for moving to six session package are multiple.
Earlier in the year I experimented with three session packages which worked quite well. However, I felt at the time I could not help clients access the deepest level of transformation I knew they could achieve if only I had more time with them. Which was exceedingly frustrating.
The reasons are as follows –

What is a relocated Solar Return Chart?
A relocated Solar Return chart is fascinating to generate. A natal Solar Return chart is when the Sun reverts to its natal exact degree of the moment you were born. But as the four other social planets move faster – Moon, Mercury Venus and Mars, they are frequently in a different sign than that of your natal chart. They will also usually be in a different house.
A Solar Return chart is a beautiful addition to a current transit chart – as the current transiting planets will move through your houses during the upcoming year. But the solar return planets wi ..read more

How relocating immediately enhances your creativity…
By now you all know how passionate I am about relocating as a method of helping you live the life you were always meant to live. After three recent trips back to my beloved Italy, I am now more passionate than ever about this aspect of astrology.
My first trip to Sardinia in late April was not particularly planned. It was more a case of – well Portugal is not going to work out the way I had planned, so there’s always Italy to go back to. I have a strong Moon line flowing right along the west coast of both Corsica and Sardinia. In A ..read more

The recent and deeply soulful Venus retrograde in Leo ended on 3rd September or maybe a day or two later, depending on where you are in the world. Venus had turned retrograde on 22nd June and what was notable about this period, which also coincided with Pluto going retrograde back into Capricorn on 12th June, was how many people checked out of planet Earth during these two retrograde cycles. No less than five friends of mine lost someone very close to them. Then we had the passing over of Tina Turner, Glenda Jackson, Michael Parkinson, Robbie Robertson of The Band, and most notably, the extrao ..read more

I heard the news of Sinead’s death via Facebook Messenger late morning of 27th July, from my Australian spiritual mentor, who has in recent years also become a good friend. I had been with my love the previous evening so the news had not filtered through to me.
As a mother who lost her own daughter to suicide almost two years ago, just four short months before Sinead lost her own teenage son to suicide, I know all too well the relentless pain and heartache she went through after such a horrific tragedy. After a suicide, families and friends implode. On all sides. Even if the suicide has in som ..read more

After a lengthy break of over six years, I finally returned to my beloved Lucca on 6th August 2023, where I was met at Pisa airport by my two closest Lucchese friends. Much had changed in my old Lucchese life during lockdown, as several of my close American friends had returned to the USA, never to return to Italy, except for short visits back. Another very close close friend died of pancreatic cancer in Lucca in January 2021.
As many of you know, my daughter Ruth Seavers’ death in September 2021 kept me bound in Ireland for over a year and a half while I handled her affairs. A lengthy process ..read more

Venus retrograde has always been my favourite retrograde period by far. Unlike many of the other planets, Venus only turns retrograde every 18 months and for a shortish period of six weeks, hence forty days and forty nights, which makes it such a big deal.
This Venus retrograde commenced with Mercury, planet of communication, (also in the sign of Leo) being conjunct Venus – hence what we love, who we love, how we love and how we communicate were automatically in alignment.
Along with our creativity, sense of fairness and justice, and our finances.
What a beautiful time then!
Pluto, Neptune and ..read more

Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, and utter transformation recently went retrograde back into Capricorn on 12th June 2023 where it will remain until 21st January 2024.
This retrograde had an immediate and deeply intense impact personally which was not entirely unexpected. 12th June was my late daughter Ruth’s father, David Seavers birthday. He would have been 64. The elderly mother of a friend crossed the Veil the following morning. Then a client of another beloved friend was murdered sometime the following day.
All this within the first three days of Pluto turning retrograde ..read more

The asteroids – Juno, Pallas, Vesta and Ceres give enormously insightful additional information in our natal chart. Venus has always been seen to symbolise love and what we value, how we love, who we love. Venus also symbolises our creativity along with our finances.
Juno brings love to a whole new level. It is the asteroid symbolising deeper love and marriage and where it falls in our chart gives helpful clues as to what type of long term relationship will work best for us. Mine for example is angular in Sagittarius, on my descendant. So yes, many of my intimate relations have been with men n ..read more
