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
