The Making of Moonletter

The Moonletter has its origins way back in the late 20th Century. It began as a monthly email distributed among friends, fellow astrologers, assorted mystics and astrology clients. In its origin, it was a way to focus time each month on considering the ways of the Moon and her influences. It gave my Sagittarian curiosity and Uranian intuition free rein to explore ideas, inspirations and insights and share them with friends. It became a record of sorts, of conversations, things I read, events in the world.

Then as its readership increased so the Moonletter has grown and evolved. It now includes a monthly diary of astrological events and festivals from many traditions, occasional contributions on Chinese Astrology and specials on particular planets and signs.

Fast forward to 2019 and finally Moonletter has taken shape as a website and a blog to house my diverse writings, and to share what astrology means to me and why the cycle of the moon is the rhythm I follow.

A new moonletter appears usually a few days before the actual new moon. New articles are added from time to time and other sections are planned. Do pop back often and please give us a “Hi!” from the comments page.

THE MOON

THE MOON

What phase is the moon in at the moment? Is it new? Is it full? Is it waxing? Is it waning? How do you feel at the different phases? And what happens when you tune in to the phases of the moon, chilling out when the moon is coming up to new, starting up again with the waxing moon? And what’s this about Void of Course?

ZODIAC SIGNS

ZODIAC SIGNS

From the point of view of the earth, the sun, moon and the planets move against a background of fixed stars that the ancients described as zodiac constellations. They counted 12 of them, and ascribed characters to them, based on the image suggested by the pattern of stars. The Ram, the bull, the heavenly twins…

THE PLANETS

THE PLANETS

Up to the invention of the telescope we knew of 7 planets. (Well, actually 5 plus the sun and moon.) They orbit the sun in the same way the earth does, and their movements and cycles can be calculated and predicted. And now we have discovered more planets further out beyond Saturn and we’re getting to know them and studying their influence on people’s lives.

CYCLES

THE CYCLES

Astrology is the science of cycles. From the monthly cycle of the moon, to the yearly cycle of the earth round the sun, to the 12 year cycle of Jupiter, the 29 year cycle of Saturn, the 84 year cycle of Uranus, all the way out to the 10,500 year cycle of the Trans-Neptunian Object, Sedna. This is the basis of the way we look at planetary influence on events in the world and on our own lives

MUNDANE ASTROLOGY

MUNDANE ASTROLOGY

No, not ‘mundane’ in the sense of ordinary and uninteresting. But in the sense of worldly – to do with events in the world. Mundane astrology deals with the fates of states and nations, of political parties and international organisations. Here we’re more interested in larger global cultural movements and technological developments.

CENTAURS & TRANS-NEPTUNIAN OBJECTS

CENTAURS & TRANS-NEPTUNIAN OBJECTS

Centaurs are bodies in the Solar System that orbit between Jupiter and Neptune, crossing the orbits of the major planets. Chiron, the most well-known was discovered in 1977. Other such as Pholus, Nessus and Asbolus followed later. Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO’s) have been discovered beyond Neptune, out in the Kuiper belt and even further out in the Oort Cloud. They rejoice in such names as Ixion, Varuna, Sedna, Eris, Makemake and Quaoar. Astrologers are still getting to know these newcomers and are studying their influence.

ASTROLOGY & BUSINESS

ASTROLOGY & BUSINESS

Don’t tell anyone but some companies consult astrologers to advise on aspects of their business. They use astrology for recruitment purposes. They use it for timing of crucial deals. They use it to decide the best foreign countries to expand into or to export to. But whatever the size of the enterprise, astrology can provide commercially valuable insights.

ASTROLOGY & MUSIC

ASTROLOGY & MUSIC

Astrological Portraits of composers, musicians and singer-songwriters, from classical to rock, jazz and soul. What planets drove their creativity and brought them fame, what centaurs inspired them to explore mythological realms and to transport listeners to other worlds. These portraits are a prelude to a forthcoming book on the influence of the centaurs, Pholus, Asbolus and Nessus.

A message from Ben:

A new moonletter appears a few days before the actual new moon, giving you time to set your affirmations and intentions, help you make sense of what’s going on astrologically, so that you flow with things rather than struggling against them.

New articles are added from time to time. In fact, I’ve got quite a backlog of material that just needs tidying up and editing. But, having said that, if you have a general astrological question or an idea for an article, please get in touch. It may stimulate me to write something.

You can also sign up to get the moonletter delivered to your inbox in pdf format (if you’re not already receiving it).

Do pop back often and please give us a “Hi!” from the contact page.

Go well
