This Google map shows where there have been climate school strikes https://bit.ly/2ImMPsq and climate stories. Here is Greta's natal chart using Whole Sign as I don't have a time of birth or a specific location (only the country) Here is her chart with the transits for the date of her Ted Talk  https://youtu.be/H2QxFM9y0tY   Here is the natal chart for Emma Gonzalez Here's her chart with transits for her speech made a few days after the Parkland shootings. And here is Emma's chart with the transits for the March4Life  This event inspired Greta to organise the climate school strikes.  

This week we are learning about how Mercury, the planet of communication, can be in a sign different to your Sun sign. Mercury can only ever be in your own sign, or the sign either side of your Sun sign....(either the sign before or the sign after) More info on Mercury in Podcast Seven here http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-seven-0 More info on Learning Styles an N.L.P. technique in Podcast Seventy Nine http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-seventy-nine   Queen Elizabeth has Sun in Taurus, slow steady, but Mercury in faster Fire sign Aries   Mother Meera has Sun Capricorn: Earth but Mercury Sagittarius: Fire   Pope Francis has Sun Sagittarius: Fire and Mercury Capricorn: Earth    

This week we are looking at the chart of Miss Aquarius who has a stellium and Donna Cunningham who wrote about them in her book The Stellium Handbook.  Here is Miss Aquarius' chart. Notice the busy 6th house! Go to Episodes 15-17 for houses. More info on Indigos and cluster charts on my website here http://www.maryenglish.com/Astro/indigos/index.html   Compared to Donna's Chart. Notice the Sun/Moon Square Episode 96:  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-ninety-six  

This week I'm talking about 'what is the problem' that the client is bringing. Until that is understood, you can't offer any help. Please don't become a problem for the client, or even make the client's chart a problem for them. As an Astrologer, your job is to be the solution and the confidant...Someone they will share their problems with. Here is Today's chart. What planets might be a trigger for someone you're working with at the moment? Or for you? Make a chart for the consultation date/time and the actual time they attend. Look to see what planets might be the trigger now, or might have been a trigger in the past.

A quick low-down about the whole Aspect Pattern/Figure thing. It's important to learn about Aspects before you learn about the patterns they make in your chart. I cover Aspects in Episode 19  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-nineteen-0 And Aspect Patterns in Episode 20  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-twenty-0 You can read more info here  https://www.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Aspect_Figure I'm also discussing a little more about being in private practice as SO many Astrologers, when they get 'big' stop seeing clients :(  This podcast is to encourage you to 'be' an Astrologer and to help other people as much as possible to empower themselves :) xx p.s. remember to study counselling SKILLS BEFORE you read professionally !     

This week we are working with Mr Aquarius's chart. He kindly offered it for discussion. He asked for me to talk about his present transits.

This week we are covering something that everyone wants to know about: Their finances. So I thought I'd share with you the charts of some (very) rich people. Obviously I can't share the chart of someone who is very poor....but I have worked with people where this is the case. It's important to also take into account the 6th house of work and the 10th house of career, (if you're a regular person not royalty and need to work to make a living)  If you're already very rich, then pay attention to the 2nd and 8th, did you become rich because of inheritance/family-money? If you'd like to know Your Sign's Astro Forecast every month then do sign-up here http://eepurl.com/bCSDz you can unsubscribe anytime you like! Here are this week's charts: First up is Queen Elizabeth. You can't deny, she's rich but her chart clearly shows that's the case because of her family, not because of anything she did.   Here we have Bill Gates who made his money from computers.   Another very rich man Warren Buffett   This chap lost a lo

Discussing the Sun in the 8th. As we are now into Capricorn you can always learn more about this sign in my book How to Cheer up a Capricorn This week we are using the charts of Jack London (great author)   ...and Janis Joplin (fantastic singer)   ...to demonstrate why 'being famous' is NOT a comfortable place for people with Sun in 8th or 12th.

This week I'm covering the three planets that are in their 'natural homes'...and what this means for YOUR chart and YOUR sign. My Amazon Author Page with YOUR Sign's Book! https://www.amazon.com/Mary-English/e/B002T5OG4A/ And if you're in the UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mary-English/e/B002T5OG4A Here's my Webinar about #Pisces https://youtu.be/31S8NsLujjI PDF for 2019's transits http://www.maryenglish.com/ae_2019.pdf And a blank chart with house meanings http://www.maryenglish.com/blank-chart-with-house-meanings.pdf  ...with big thanx to Donna Cunningham RIP xxx https://skywriter.wordpress.com/

As we are commemorating the end of the First World War in the U.K. today I thought I'd share with you the chart of the actual treaty and the correct time it was agreed upon (as opposed to the time it was signed, or actually came into force) PLEASE NOTE at 19 minutes 20 seconds I am also sharing a Hypno track called Your Wise Self....so do turn this off if you're listening while driving or operating any sort of machinery...and then re-listen when you're seated or relaxed. So, here is the chart itself, with the actual location of the agreement. How fitting, Libra is rising... However a LOT of squares (internal conflict) in this chart.   And here is the chart of one of the signatures to the agreement. A Libra Sun but with Cancer rising and Mars on the Ascendant/first house. A mostly Cardinal chart. Big oppositions in there.

I made a visit to the British Museum a few weeks ago having seen this video https://youtu.be/N8oWGwcdFmA about the Astrolabes that were going to be included in the exhibition. At the bottom of this post is the link to make your own:) Here are the photos I took. Aren't they beautiful pieces of work?   These are the parts of an Astrolabe   Here you can learn more about the ones in Oxford https://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/students/03to04/Astrolabes/Starholder_society.html Here is the Astrolabe App https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/astrolabe-clock/id421777015?mt=8 And here you can make your own! https://in-the-sky.org/astrolabe/index.php

This week I'm covering the Whole Sign Method. It's slightly different to the Equal House System I've been teaching you. Here is the link to Robert Hand's excellent text on the subject https://www.arhatmedia.com/whole_sign.html You can make your own chart up using this system on http://www.astro.com/  Go to the Extended Chart Selection under FREE Horoscopes and when you've entered your data, under where it says 'options for zodiac and houses' choose 'whole signs'. Here's a screenshot.    This is also where you can get your chart to be Equal House, which is what I've been teaching you... Here's Queen Elizabeth in Equal House    Compared to Queen Elizabeth Whole Sign   Here's the cheat sheet for the ancient Greek system: Twelve Places.

This week I am discussing charts with Sun square Moon. Quite a common aspect and one that can work well as it gives inner motivation or not so well if no self-reflection.

This week we are covering giving birth and the dynamics involved. First chart is me on inside, my son on outside. His Ascendant is exactly conjunct my Sun in Pisces. His Moon is in my 5th. A very emotional time (nice emotions!) Second chart is my mother giving birth to me. Nothing special with 5 house. Dynamic didn't happen until I gave birth and again much later when my Mum was very old. Moon in same sign.   My Mum and first born my brother. No 5th house birth dynamic, other than Neptune (drugs). A bigger story with 7th house Bruv's Moon.   My Dad and first born my brother. Bruv's Moon to Dad's Sun conjunction and Bruv's Moon also conjuncts Dad's Ascendant. Both charts are Bucket charts. Bruv's Mercury to Dad's Moon/Saturn/Jupiter in 10th.
