I’ve always been sceptical of the version of manifestation that suggests we can simply think hard enough about what we want and wait for the universe to deliver it.

But I am interested in what happens when we look at manifestation through the lens of neuroscience.

We know that attention affects what we notice. We know that repeated attention and behaviour can change the brain. We know that beliefs influence what we attempt and how we respond when things become difficult.

So where does astrology fit?

That’s what I’ve been exploring in my latest Substack essay. Link in the comments

Fantastic visualisation of past, present and future solar eclipses.

11,898 solar eclipses, 2000 BCE to 3000 CE, on one globe. Name a city and the atlas works out its own record: when the shadow last fell there, and when it comes back.

I'm excited to be sharing a new introductory astrology talk designed to make astrology accessible, practical, and engaging for people who are curious about understanding themselves and others more deeply.

This mini-workshop offers a grounded introduction to some key astrological concepts and helps participants connect with astrology as a tool for self-awareness, reflection, and personal growth. It's suitable for beginners and can be tailored to complement a range of wellness and community events.

I'm currently seeking opportunities to deliver this talk as part of sound baths, day retreats, cacao ceremonies, wellness gatherings, and other events across metropolitan Adelaide.

I'm excited about it because I've created a format that makes astrology approachable and meaningful, helping people discover insights they can immediately relate to in their everyday lives. I love seeing participants leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and a fresh perspective on their personal journey.

If you - or someone you know - might be interested in including this workshop in an upcoming event, I'd love to connect.

Time for an update?

If your last reading was in 2023 or even earlier, your predictions are way out of date!! So much has happened - the outer planets have all changed signs, for a start.

Returning clients get a really good deal, and if it’s been more than 5 years, I’ll review your natal chart as well.

Mercury is finally direct and heading towards Leo. Is it time for you to venture back into the spotlight?

Bookings are open for September ✨

One of the unexpected discoveries that I made while working on this week’s Substack post was the realisation that Homer, astrology, scissors, word processors and AI all belong in the same conversation

Before word processors, I used to cut essay drafts into paragraphs with scissors and spread them across my bedroom floor to rearrange them. “Cut and paste” literally meant scissors and sticky tape. The technology might have changed, but the process hasn’t.

Writing is still the work of figuring out what you think.

The outermost planets tell stories that unfold over generations. Jupiter tells stories that we can remember. Where were you twelve years ago?
