After a 3 month hiatus, during which I have assembled prospective topics for a putative sixth volume of essays, I finally heard that alliterative siren call yet again, and am pleased to announce this latest collection, An Agglomeration of Astral Assertions. Subjects include the usual assemblage of artistic types, as well as other topics that may catch […]
During a recent telephone conversation with my astro-colleague and friend, Virginia Bell, who has been very generous in sharing a number of her contacts with me in recent years, and likewise an early champion of my astrological writing, she suggested that I might want to publicize the same through blogging on Substack, sharing excerpts from […]
As prognosticated earlier in 2022, I put the finishing touches on this latest volume of essays in early December, and it is now available in both paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon. I must confess that I am pleased that I have five books of my own astrological musings on the market, and I hope […]
I’ve just finished the seventh new essay for my new volume of essays, A Surfeit of Stellar Speculations, on Frederic Chopin, who died from complications of tuberculosis, and am casting about for the next one. This brings me to about the halfway point on this latest book, which I am projecting will be finished by […]

However, in the interim, I have now published two new books of essays: A Congeries of Cosmic Considerations, in November 2020, and this week, A Plethora of Planetary […]
Mundane astrology isn’t really my thing, although I have just had two consecutive mundane articles appear in Smiljana Gavrancic’s excellent magazine; when she approached me for another, I decided to reverse my previous stance about my essays about the current occupant of the White House (written about 2 years ago), and let her publish a […]
I was delighted, some months ago, to learn that Mary Plumb, of the The Mountain Astrologer, would be reviewing Random Ramblings of an Astrological Autodidact in the February/March 2020 edition of the magazine.

I am continuing my streak of having a new article in every issue of my colleague, Smiljana Gavrancic’s, excellent Infinity Astrological Magazine; I have had two articles focused on mundane astrology in the last two issues, both addressing the topics from the standpoint of Mars/Uranus aspects in the horoscope.
