New Time-Lord Class Launched
I recently launched a new module for the Hellenistic time-lord technique Zodiacal Releasing on my online course site. Since I just launched the module, the introductory price is only $30 to sign up.

Several years ago I made this animation which depicts the story of how the five classical planets came to rule two signs of the zodiac each.

Today the President of Kepler College, Enid Newberg, sent out an announcement effectively saying that the school will be closing down in the near future.

On the front cover of Steven Forrest’s latest book, entitled Yesterday’s Sky, there is an endorsement from the actor Robert Downey Jr., who is one of the leading actors in Hollywood right now. Most recently he starred in the adaptation of Sherlock Holmes that was just released in theaters a few weeks ago. I noticed […]
Ever wanted to see a romantic comedy that involves astrology as one of its main plot devices? If so, then you are in luck! A new movie came out in India a few months ago called What’s Your Raashee?. ‘Raashee’ is the term used by Indian astrologers to refer to a sign of the zodiac, […]
