Tonight, we have a Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus, shining clear and bright where I live in Glasgow, exact tomorrow around Noon in the UK. It falls in my ninth house, trine my Virgo Ascendant. Seems a good time to do a bit of books PR!

In keeping with the approaching Festive Season, and mindful of the cost of living crisis making it harder especially for younger astrology students to afford book-buying, there’s a special seasonal offer on my recent collection of 60 essays, columns, articles and essays, “Postcards to the Future “, which has collected five star reviews from a wide range of eminent astrologers including Steven Forrest, Frank Clifford, Margaret Cahill of The Wessex Astrologer, Ronnie Grishman Editor Emerita of USA’s much-missed Dell Horoscope Magazine, Victor Olliver of the UK’s Astrological Journal (and ‘Postcards…’ Editor), Christina Rodenbeck of The Oxford Astrologer, and Karin Hoffman of Astrodienst.
