Today’s New Moon marks the start of the Chinese New Year. The dates differ every year as the Chinese New Year is based on the Lunar Calendar and follows the cycle of the Moon. The start date is the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice on the 21st December. This Chinese New Year begins on 23rd January 2012. In the east, the festival celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring and the festivities last for 15 days. Continue Reading »Chinese New Year – A Celebration of Good Fortune

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson’s Bromance
Writing this on a Sunday night, I’m already having withdrawal symptoms from the exceedingly short Series 2 of Sherlock Holmes. 3 episodes only, what was that all about?!! Having said that, I loved them!
The programmes work so well partly due to the fantastic acting and brilliant bromance between the two main stars, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (John Watson). If you look at their Sun signs, they are quietly compatible in an understated but easy relationship, which in astrology speak is termed a ‘sextile’ aspect.

Monthly Stars January 2012
Capricorn (22 December-19 January)
Even if it’s a slow start to 2012, this changes once fleet-footed Mercury, planet of communication, enters your sign on the 8th. Mercury doesn’t hang around this month and speeds through your sign in under three weeks, and by the 27th, he’s moved on. This is your cue to get active, make things happen… and fast. Look to the year ahead and create a strategy to achieve what you want. If you’re a typical Capricorn, you love having a new goal to work towards and, like your zodiac symbol, the wily goat, a new mountain to climb. There’s an all-or-nothing feel to your stars this month as Mercury quickly teams up with powerful Pluto on the 13th. It’s a great day to ditch a bad habit or speak your mind. Ensure you’re the one who’s in control and reassert your power if you’ve been undermined. Continue Reading »Monthly Stars January 2012

Monthly Stars December 2011
Sagittarius (22 November-21 December)
The big news concerns your ruling planet Jupiter which turns direct on Christmas Day. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and is currently halfway through its journey in the sign of Taurus, boosting your work and your cash flow. The few days before Christmas look promising for work and money, as the Sun teams up with Jupiter on the 22nd and there’s a New Moon in your cash sector on Christmas Eve, signalling new beginnings and a new start in life.
The last six months have been a busy period. A strong emphasis on the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) means you may have to work hard and sacrifice excitement for a normal routine but the rewards are plentiful. Jupiter’s turn-around in the heavens promises not only a cash bonus or expensive Christmas present, but the brakes are off and the future looks bright for work and money matters.

Next Door Neighbours: Love Compatibility
Alex Reid & Chantelle Houghton Cancer-Leo lovers
Relationships that are one sign apart in the zodiac combine two different elements (fire, earth, air or water). People in “next door neighbour” relationships often ask why they get on well. The reason is that both Mercury (communication) and Venus (love) never move far away from the Sun, so there’s often a close connection between planets in the two charts. This creates an affinity between people with next door Sun signs.
A new hot-off-the-press celebrity couple are Alex Reid (b. 21 July 1975 – Cancer) and Chantelle Houghton (b. 21 August 1983 – Leo) who are engaged and having a baby together. The “next door neighbour” relationship obviously appeals to Alex as his ex, Katie Price, is a Gemini, the sign before Cancer. Below are the 12 possible combinations with celebrity examples. [Celebrity names are written in correct star sign order, i.e. for Cancer-Leo, Alex is Cancer and Chantelle is Leo]. Continue Reading »Next Door Neighbours: Love Compatibility

Strictly Come Dancing: Who Will Win?
astrologer Russell Grant and his dancing partner, Flavia
Strictly Come Dancing is as wonderful this year as it always is, but it’s so fantastic to see astrologer, Russell Grant, being so popular with the public and being…well, just fabulous. Russell has already written about the star sign combinations of the dancers on the internet but here is my prediction on the top 7 couples and who’s going to be in the final 3. [sorry Audley, I'm presuming you'll be exiting soon].
I have to say now that I don’t think Russell (Aquarius) will win with Flavia (Pisces) but they will continue to entertain us for a few weeks yet. Russell is an Aquarian so he will continue to develop his unique and eccentric take on all the dances. I do think he’s brilliant and I’m so pleased he’s obviously loved by the public.

Monthly Stars November 2011
Scorpio (24 October-21 November)
It’s your birthday month and the perfect excuse to indulge yourself, put your needs first and do what you want. However, at times this month you may feel unsure what it is that you want. You may ponder the meaning of life, question where your life’s heading or simply find it hard to make any decisions at all. Neptune, planet of confusion and illusion, is in Aquarius at the bottom of your chart, and influences your home and family life.
If you don’t feel settled at the moment or there are issues at home, within the family or to do with your past, this will be destabilising. Neptune is strong this month, on the 7th, 9th and 20th, but come February 2012, Neptune moves on and you start to feel ready to put down roots. If you’ve been looking for your dream home for what seems like years (Neptune first moved in to Aquarius in 1998) but haven’t been successful, your luck starts to change.
