Let’s look at Jack Nicholson’s birth chart. The first thing to note is that, essentially, he’s a paradox. One wouldn’t normally think so given the image of the Hollywood Hellraiser; the imposing, self-promoting Romeo with the wicked grin, indistinguishable from his Batman Joker. It is but a smokescreen, not that he hasn’t enjoyed being the […]

We’re going to look at the Recording of Sgt. Pepper, the Beatles landmark album. I’ve already analysed both Lennon and McCartney‘s birth charts on this site – now let’s look at the one of their most enduring creations. Just about every music fan around the world has heard, or read, about the cultural milestone that […]
The Best Alternate Reality Movies (part one) – Twelve Monkeys
All so-called Alternate Reality Movies should have that puzzling scene that makes you ask: ‘is this happening for real now, or is it in his/her head?’ There’s a whole raft of movies whose protagonists exist in some other dimension than this one, and one of the most successful (and complex) is Christopher Nolan’s psychological thriller […]
Eckhart Tolle’s The Power Of Now – A Review, by James Lynn Page
I have been reading Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now recently, originally championed by the very popular Oprah Winfrey. (My acquaintance with the book is also a little belated, since it was first published in 1997, by Namaste Publishing, Vancouver, Canada).

Mick Jagger’s Horoscope: Love, Fame and the Pursuit of Eternal Youth
Let’s take an in-depth look at Mick Jagger’s Horoscope – what makes him really tick? In Philip Norman’s excellent Jagger biography, the author cites decades of adulation as a rock god to account for what he called Eternal Teenager syndrome, which entails inhabiting a parallel universe where human mortality itself can be be bypassed. ‘The […]
Keith Richards’ Horoscope – What is He Really Like?
What is Keith Richards’ Horoscope like? Is the so-called Human Riff, the Most Elegantly Wasted Human Being Ever, a Rebel or a Reactionary? The typical Rebel is described as ‘bohemian’, ‘insubordinate’, ‘lawless’, ‘unorthodox’, ‘unruly’, and he’s been all of these at various times. But what about the opposite, Reactionary? This is a conservative, a diehard, […]
Ringo Starr’s Horoscope – What Is He Really Like?
Whenever the Beatles’ personal characteristics are mentioned, Ringo always seems to get bottom billing – Ringo Starr’s Horoscope will tell us why. John is (typically) the aggressive intellectual; Paul the cute diplomat, whilst George is the ‘quiet one’ or the ‘mystic’. Commentators then run out of adjectives and pause, because Ringo is just … well […]
Real Magic vs The Law of Attraction – Rhonda Byrne’s Birth Chart
If you want to perform Real Magic (which starts with the correct attitude) then study this in-depth article by my guest blogger, the US astrologer/magician Bob Makransky: One of my pet peeves about New Agers is their naive reliance on grossly oversimplified homilies like the famous Law of Attraction (“Ask – Believe -Receive”) to get […]

What Is The Turin Shroud? A Medieval Fake, Right?
Just what is the Turin Shroud? Isn’t actually a medieval fake? Or is it – as some still maintain, Jesus’ burial cloth, another Christian relic along with the mysterious Holy Grail? Can’t we solve the enigma once and for all? Are we even looking at an image of Jesus? Here is were the story gets […]
