Astrology is SO much more than sun signs … it’s a wonderfully rich system that acts like a blueprint for life. Your birth chart not only indicates talents and interests, it gives deeper insights into your relationships, and can even explain why you’re here!

I offer personal readings for $90/30 mins or $175/60 mins (by phone, zoom or near Tweed Heads NSW). You’ll be amazed by how much we cover, and how much insight into yourself, your relationships, your career, your life purpose and the future you will gain.h

In addition to predictive readings, I love looking at relationships and family dynamics. Parents can gain deeper insights into children and learn more about potential schooling styles, hobbies and talents. Alternatively, I can assess couples compatibility or find best wedding dates, business launch dates or fertility dates (using your natural lunar cycle).

Along with personal readings, I write weekly forecasts for Woman’s Day and New Idea. I also draw up feng shui reports and offer space clearings and house blessings!

Call or text me on 0411 631 940 if you’d like to book a session, in person, or by zoom or phone. The insights and messages can be life changing.

Mercury retrogrades

Mercury retrogrades tend to bring delays and mix-ups, but don’t panic … when you work with them, not against, they can actually be quite useful.

Occurring three or four times a year, and lasting for roughly 3.5 weeks, retrograde phases are ideal for reviewing, reworking, revisiting and researching. The trick is to avoid big decisions and major purchases, and instead, use these ‘go-slow’ periods to fine-tune plans and mull things over. If you DO push on through, be prepared for delays or unforeseen changes.

It can be helpful to know which ‘astrological house’ is affected in your horoscope – ie, falling in the second house, it’s likely to bring a review of budgets and spending, while in the sixth house it could see you researching health- or work-related issues – but for everyone, the Libran themes will still feature.

Is your work-life balance out of kilter? Does your relationship need pepping up? Do you seek more harmony in your life? Are household tasks shared equitably? Are lines of communication open and clear? Are you giving more than you receive? Are you being treated with respect?

There’s no doubt that retrograde phases can be frustrating – sometimes incredibly so! – but to keep things running smoothly, regular reviews and tune-ups are essential.

Time to slow down and ressess

Happy New Moon! Falling in the sign of Taurus, the May 18 new moon highlights issues around food, comfort, love and money. Interestingly, Mercury is at a standstill today as he prepares to go retrograde for the next three weeks, but don’t panic: it’s a great time to revisit old ideas or delve deeper into your needs and desires. Something that passed you by might even come back into your life, a sort of second chance. The key to success over the coming month is slow down, revise and research … don’t push things through before they’re fully cooked.

On a cautionary note, Mercury retrogrades often disrupt movement and communication, so allow more time for traveling over this period, avoid buying electronics or installing software and be sure to double-check important documents (hidden details may come to light in the following weeks).

Sabian Symbols, where every degree of the zodiac (all 360 of them) is connected to an image, often contain interesting insights. Following is an excerpt from Lynda Hill’s book: The new Moon is occurring at 27 degrees of Taurus: AN OLD INDIAN WOMAN SELLING BEADS AND TRINKETS  ‘An Old Indian Woman’ is ‘Selling Beads and Trinkets’. She probably spends a great deal of her time selling these small products of her culture for very little reward. The modern world often shows little regard and doesn’t respect the crafts and skills that are well respected within her tribe. Meaning: Do not underestimate yourself or restrict yourself to what you think others believe you are capable of. Everybody has talents and abilities, including you.

meditating at sunriseMercury, the planet of communication and travel, is coming to a standstill today (February 7), at least from our perspective, as he shifts into a month-long retrograde phase. It’s well known, at least amongst astrologers, that Mercury retrogrades can feel like an exercise in frustration (and patience!), but insights gained over these slower, more reflective periods can be invaluable, even if we can’t see it at the time.

Delays and hiccups often prove to be fortuitous as they give us an opportunity to reassess and improve our plans. Pivotal people from our past often pop back onto the scene under Mercury retrogrades or forgotten dreams bubble up to the surface. If we’ve taken a wrong turn, retrograde periods can help to get us back on track.

Adding an interesting edge to this particular retrograde (they occur roughly three times a year) is Mercury’s mystical rendezvous with dreamy Neptune. Occurring in the sign of Pisces, this super-sensitized aspect is perfect for strengthening our connection to the spiritual world; think meditation, dream interpretation, artistic or musical expression, spiritual healing work, psychic development or communion with nature. Slow down, soak it all up and enjoy!
