As an astrologer I am interested in understanding the human psyche.
As a storyteller I pass words for self knowledge.
He who knows others is wise, said Lao Tzu, he who knows himself is enlightened.
Some people claim that twelve zodiac signs can't define billions of human beings.
It is perfectly ok to use "only" twelve categories to describe human beings.
Since the dawn of humanity, we have been using even narrower systems which still make complete sense.
For instance, there are men and women. This distinction is based on sex. Societies have been adding a lot of extra stuff - so let's say male and female.
Of course, there are exceptions. A tiny minority are not clearly neither male or female, but exceptions don't disprove the rule. Most of us can be clearly put into one or the other of these two categories which have been meaningful over millennia.
Another binary system is the distinction between introverts and extroverts.
We have also been using a threefold system to categorize people: Young, Mature and Old. This makes complete sense.
We also categorize into rich and poor, or into upper class, middle class, working class. These distinctions don't say everything about any of the individuals belonging to a category, but it says something that is meaningful for human beings.
There are more complex categories. The four temperaments for instance. The classifications of mental disorders. The types associated with homeopathic remedies...
The twelve signs of the zodiac are meaningful.
We do belong to various categories, and we are also unique individuals - but to define a unique individual, no classification system will be enough. We are not defined by our gender, by our skin colour, by our sexual orientation more than we are by our Sun sign.
Even the idea of intersectionality, which consists of taking into consideration that individuals belong to various categories, don't lead to define perfectly an individual. Even if we knew all the possible categories someone belongs to, it would not be enough to know who they are.
Astrologically, we may take the whole chart into account and still not know everything. We are not entirely defined by the complex web of astral energies. They are meaningful...up to a certain point.
We are spirits. Pure consciousness is what we are.
To really understand an individual we need to listen to them individually.
Nowadays when we talk about "progressions" we are actually talking about "secondary progressions" because there is a more ancient technique called "primary directions".
The fundamental idea behind this technique is the same as that of secondary progressions: there is a correspondence between the day and the year...

Jesus loves you! Don't worry, I'm just a story teller...
To enjoy a good story, you need to believe it’s happening, if only for the time of the narration, but you don’t have to look for people who listen to other stories and burn them at the stake.
Jesus loves you. I am a story teller, I tell stories from various traditions, some are spiritual teachings, some are popular wisdom, some are dressed up as fairy tales, other as jokes, some are Jesus stories…
When I was four-year-old, I loved Jesus stories. At bedtime, my father came with a book. The title was “The liberator”. On the cover there was a picture of Jesus Christ breaking a chain. Recently, I came across this book, on my father’s shelves. The picture on the cover was exactly like my memory of it. My father used to sit next to my bed and read, without looking at me. I heard in his voice how sacred these stories were, and they were enchanting to me.
Once Jesus and Mary had been invited to a wedding. We can imagine ...
13th episode of my Autobiography with Astrology Podcast.
When I was twenty-one, I found a job in a psychiatric hospital. I worked there for two years as an auxiliary nurse. I am still thinking of the people I met there… Let me introduce them to you...

On the 4th of November 2008, which was my 48th birthday, I was arrested by the police. It was extremely surprising. I would find myself charged with crimes I didn’t commit and it would take one year and one week before the Crown Court dropped all charges.
I was emotionally stupid, that’s for sure. But if emotional needs are real, not having them met can only have consequences. If you’re struggling, listen. You’re not alone!

I was a storyteller long before becoming an astrologer, and I am still one.
When I was 10, I had a very stern and sadistic teacher. Old school, to put it mildly...
Also on the tube:
The Sun symbolises us on the path of "becoming who we really are" - which actually means, expressing on the material plane who we essentially are in spirit.
The Moon is on the receiving end. She symbolises how the environment -esp. our early environment, our past conditions who we are (on the material plane) and how we receive and nurture within ourselves the will of the Sun.
