Madge Hill, Outsider Artist: an astrological ...

From my recent time in Switzerland I became acquainted with a genre of art referred to as ‘Outsider Art’, or Art Brut. I found the works confronting, exciting, compelling, intriguing, sometimes beautiful, and almost always touching. Given the number of these artists creating out of mental torture from within asylums or psychiatric institutions after often excruciating starts to their lives  I was fascinated by implications: who defines ‘normal’ or ‘inside’ (as opposed to ‘outside’)? Is the impulse (and therefore perhaps all art?) Self-generated ‘healing’ or self-soothing? If so, could it lead to ‘cure’? How might the average person, less troubled than these, learn from this? What might we learn from their horoscopes?

This article explores an Index calculated from the 10 possible synods or inter-planet cycles from Jupiter through to Pluto, simply based on whether the cycle is waxing or waning.

Some notes on the chart of the UK Parliamentary Election, 12th December 2019

In this short analysis I explore the astrological map drawn for the opening of voting on Election Day 2019 to see whether it yields any hints as to which party may have the upper hand in this hard-to-predict UK election. I also look at key leaders’ and party charts, including a proposal for a new birth time for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
