New Podcast on Astrology
About a year and a half ago I started a new podcast on astrology called The Astrology Podcast. The purpose of the show is to have discussions about technical, historical and philosophical topics related to astrology.

Let’s get the main point out of the way right from the start: Generally speaking, […]

This is a list of the most famous and most influential astrologers of all time. The list mainly covers astrologers who played an important role in the astrological tradition over the past 3,000 years, and it does not include any astrologers who are still alive today, or who lived relatively recently.

One of the best pieces of advice that I could give to people who are just getting into the field of astrology, or to astrologers who are already in the field, is to document your lives. Document your lives as extensively as possible. Usually this means keeping a journal of some sort in which you […]

One of the up-and-coming trends in the astrological community right now is podcasts and astrologically themed internet radio shows, and at this point my favorite is Traditional Astrology Radio. I began listening to it earlier this year when the original host David Hernández, who is a Medieval astrologer from Puerto Rico, starting featuring interesting interviews […]
Back in March of 2007 I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the first Blast Astrology Conference in Sedona, Arizona. The conference was organized single-handedly by Moses Siregar, and it was a smashing success, bringing together a broad array of both up-and-coming and well-established astrologers as speakers. From my point of view the […]

Fox News recently ran a segment on astrology and health that featured New York astrologer Diana Brownstone.
