astrology & me
astrology
/əˈstrɒlədʒi/
noun
the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies is interpreted as influencing human affairs and the natural world.
A fundamental element of maintaining my sobriety is having a spiritual practice each day. The consensus is that astrology is a spiritual practice in the elements and aspects of life. I can tell you that its practicality is why I study and practise it daily as a part of my spirituality. I view it as a road map for carrying out my purpose of being human.
For me, I was the typical late ‘70s baby in Northern NSW who was raised as a Christian, my mother being Roman Catholic and my father being Protestant & with the two sides of my family attending different “churches”, this seemed to always bring a massive amount of distress to myself and older sisters. We all attended private catholic schools, with some Nuns still teaching and living on the grounds, with a church also present that we would be mandated to attend regularly. So the “white wedding” dressed debutant was a real thing that I watched my older sisters participate in, which most considered an important church ritual, a milestone in life. I still feel overwhelmed by how contradictory it all seemed to me as a teen in the early ‘90s. I did ditch high school in year 11, missing my own “debutant”, to my great relief, but this is where my relationship with the Christian churches I was raised with also began to dissolve. When I was a younger child, I had fond memories of sitting at the breakfast table with my Grandparents, reading the paper and talking about our day ahead. One of the solid things you could count on my Grandad for was to read the daily horoscope for us all. This was by far the highlight of my childhood because, most times, I understood it, and with Grandad’s ability to speak it with such emotion, it always brought another element of joy to my heart.
In modern times, I merely replaced the time school & church took up and have applied astrology into my everyday life by studying it through many channels and resources, all located on the World Wide Web. I undertake my professional certification training with Astrology University to one day add the title of “Astrologist” to my professional qualifications.
Astrology and numerology reports are currently available for purchase through my website. These reports are generated by modern astrology software that I rely on for my studies.

Below are other resources I use for my Astrology studies and other Neo-Pagan rituals.
Ruby Slipper Blog is written by the talented Nadia Gilchrist, who has over 20 years of astrology study behind her. Nadia is my astrologist, and I highly recommend subscribing to her Patreon site here if you are interested in learning more about her work and obtaining more content from her readings.
Cainer.com is the very first website of astrology I ever subscribed to back in 2000! It was right at the dawn of the internet & online shopping, so spending money over the internet was considered ‘crazy’, let alone it was for anything like astrology. Thankfully for me, it was an investment worth making; 20 years on & the late Jon Cainer’s fine work and legacy are continued by his talented nephew Oscar. I highly recommend upgrading to the 5STAR Astro-alert service.
The Pattern & Co-Star Astrology are my go-to apps daily for in-depth accuracy; that is world-famous and have all the cool kids talking about it.
12andus.com is a more in-depth and advanced look at Astrology. The accuracy and knowledge of transits are second to none. 12andus offers unique and comprehensive astrological PDF reports, ranging from 100 to 200+ pages each, encompassing every chart placement, Aspect, and House. Their reports include eight asteroids and exclusive astrological combinations such as Sun/Moon, Sun/Venus, Venus/Mars and even Sun/Ascendant/Sun-in-house combination. 12andus is a staple in my daily astrology routine.
Astro.com for basically everything you need to know at ground level. I highly recommend the daily personal horoscope, which will display transits if you have an accurate birth time.
Jessica Adams is an excellent website with loads of accurate content for all kinds of students & lovers of Astrology. I highly recommend the yearly membership to keep costs down.
astrotheme.com is another one of my favourites for purchasing reports. Their daily personal horoscope reading is also freakishly accurate if you have a birth time.
