This week I'm talking about a news item about the sea. A thing called Red Tide is happening in Florida Here's the video I saw yesterday https://www.facebook.com/DMLdaily/videos/2146192858726554/ Most other news coverage is a little less urgent. Maybe the present planet's positions explain this a bit more? You can follow me on Twitter @maryenglish Or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maryenglish.author/

Astronomy is a much needed necessity to make accurate charts. However, with computer programmes making this easier it does mean we are not learning about the real planet's actual movements. This is the app I mentioned that will help you spot planets (and some stars) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/astrolabe-clock/id421777015?mt=8 This is a good video from the British Museum showing a real ancient Astrolabe https://youtu.be/N8oWGwcdFmA Here is Jeff Mayo's book The Astrologer's Astronomical Handbook https://amzn.to/2nOl9PX

This week I am talking about Event Charts. Making a chart for a forthcoming event, or one that might have already happened. These can be used for weddings, interviews, starting a project, maybe creating something or dates in the future. In the creation of Tempesta Chart, we have Virgo Ascendant, Sun Taurus in the 9th, Moon in Leo in the 11th and Mars in Libra in the first....great chart as it turned out! Info on how the proving took place and what happened: http://homeopathicpacifist.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-homeopathic-proving-of-tempesta.html

This week we are looking a little deeper at Mercury Retrograde. Here's the book I mention A New Look at Mercury Retrograde by Robert Wilkinson. Here is Robert's website http://www.aquariuspapers.com/ (looks interesting!) Lots of (helpful) info from Donna Cunningham about Mercury Retro https://skywriter.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/how-to-manage-mercury-retrograde/ If you're interested here's Wyatt Earp's chart!  

This week we are discussing K's chart. She wrote to me to share her chart which is below. Remember when you make a chart to keep it as clean and easy-to-read as possible. Avoid adding oodles of planets and asteroids, it only confuses understanding your 'self' and your chart. xx More info on Bach remedies https://www.bachcentre.com/centre/remedies.htm Sign-UP for my Monthly Astro Newsletter here so you get your Astro Stars every month http://eepurl.com/bCSDz My Stop Self-Hate Hypno Track  http://www.maryenglish.com/Hypno/Stop%20Self%20hate.mp3

This week we are working with a live chart. We have permission to share and analyse 'Miss K's' chart. She is feeling depressed, her best friend died last year and she's having to look after her mother who is abusive (and a family that doesn't care about or care for her)....but does she have to?

Hiya, This week is just a bit of fun. As mentioned here is my mother's chart showing the asteroid with my Dad's name: Noel ...in her 7th house of marriage!  Fab !  Find some names that mean something to/for you and add them into your chart or someone you know and make a note of the house they fall into. Does it mean something for you? Where does your own name end up? Have fun!

This week's episode is about the different 'Learning Styles' concentrating on Kinaesthetic  Here's my blog post on Kinaesthetic Learners http://homeopathicpacifist.blogspot.com/2013/09/dont-shout-your-child-might-be.html Here are the charts I mentioned  My younger sister Emily  Here's the video of her talking.

This week I am discussing the wonderful conjunction of Uranus and Pluto. A whole generation of people were born with this significant aspect. Do get a copy of Richard Tarnas' wonderful book Cosmos and Psyche, Intimations of a New World View https://amzn.to/2yhkRJt    Here's the chart of the first broadcast of Star Trek

This week we are learning about the Ephemeris, the document that lists the Astrological position of all of the planets for each year. Here's the link to the page I'm using: http://www.astro.com/swisseph/ae/2000/ae_2018d.pdf Here's what an Ephemeris would look like back-in-the-day, showing my own date of birth (thank you Auntie Jo): http://www.maryenglish.com/ephemeris.jpg

Hiya, this week we are doing some Astronomy #sadface Bear with me on this one, it will make sense at some point and you don't actually have to understand this to make a chart.... (coz the computer does it all for you!!) However learning it does give you more Astronomical knowledge which is always a good thing!   Here are the charts we are using. Celia S time of birth 00.01am in Northern England UK, Taurus MC   compare to Tracy Marks time of birth 12.36pm Miami Beach, Florida USA, Libra MC   and Queen Elizabeth time of birth 2.40am London UK, Scorpio MC

This week is all about Planet Returns.  This is when a planet goes back to be the same sign and degree that is was in when you were born. In Michael's chart we are showing his chart with his Saturn return just coming up showing in green on the outside wheel.. ..and the fact that he had Jupiter retrograde in his chart in the sign of 6 degrees of Cancer in the 11th house Here is what the ephemeris page on Astro.com looks like and here is Michael's Jupiter return date and what that looks like on the ephemeris, I've highlighted in blue

As mentioned this is a great book that covers what you do really need to know: How and Why Astrology even started. Here's the link to the book The Astrologers & Their Creed by Christopher McIntosh  https://amzn.to/2HCw7ok Here's Dr McIntosh's Uni Page:  https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/staff/cmcintosh/ Illustration This is the piccie from the book showing the ecliptic:Sun's apparent path (among the stars) through the year. And the Equator : imaginary line around the Earth at equal distance to the Poles Quote from page 24: These points are what we would now call the solstices and the equinoxes. The diagram below explains these terms more clearly. The sphere is the Earth and the horizontal circle round it represents the equator (imagining that the Earth's axis is vertical). The tilted circle represents the ecliptic, that is the path that the Sun appears to trace around the Earth during the course of a year. The equinoxes are the points where the ecliptic crosses the equator, once in the spring and on

This week I'm discussing Wikipedia which is massively allergic to any Astrology information...even worse when you read about Homeopathy...(Hypnotherapy isn't as badly treated thankfully) Here's my article on women and Wikipedia http://homeopathicpacifist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/wikipedia-editing-and-women.html And just so you know, my stats are actually larger than I mentioned There are now over 18,200 downloads to date 22-4-2018 so you're learning with quite a number of other Astrology interested folk!!
