New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
"Honey, do you think we're soul mates?" asks the starry-eyed wife to her husband. "Naw, we ain't soul mates," he quips. "More like cellmates and I've got a life sentence!" I heard that joke on a late night Comedy Central show years ago. I knew right then that the joke would make a great subject for a book. I had no idea exactly what I would write, but I knew the title was a sure winner. We now have Soul Mates and Hot Dates: How to Tell Who's Who. My research spawned a national lecture tour that took me to dozens of cities and three countries. Everywhere I spoke, people had stories to tell of great loves, overwhelming heartache for the "one that got away" and many wonderful, spiritual, ...
We are on the edge of a monumental shift: In March 2019, Uranus, the planetary archetype associated with awakening, freedom, revolution, radical change, and shaking up the status quo, moved into Taurus, where it will stay until 2025. Taurus is a Venus-ruled sign, and the Goddess is taking center stage. We've already felt the rumblings, and over the next seven years we can expect to see unprecedented focus and movement in all issues connected to women, the feminine, and our planet. Uranus spends between seven or eight years in a sign, and its ingress into a new sign shakes up and shapes the collective with the themes of the sign it is transiting. Uranus moved into Aries in March 2011, and ...

I think most readers would guess (correctly) that I moved from a water Ascendant to a fire or an air Ascendant. In fact, I moved from my birthplace, which had Cancer rising (mother-identified, family very important, retiring) to a location where I had Gemini rising. This kind of development—or personal compensation—occurs rather often. The careless, carefree individual moves to a different area and becomes more dedicated, responsible, and reliable. The person locked in an ivory tower of intellectualism ...
My journey with Chiron began in 1992 when, while browsing the shelves of the Theosophical Society bookstore in Sydney, Australia, the ultimate cliché happened: a book fell off the shelves and landed at my feet. I looked around, half expecting Shirley MacLaine to come around the corner! Not seeing her, I picked up the book and looked at the title—Chiron and the Healing Journey, by Melanie Reinhart. Not interested in asteroids at the time, I simply put the book back and went on my merry way. Little did I know at the time that this event would be the first in a series of synchronicities marking Chiron's forceful entry into my life. Having studied astrology since the age of ...
