A large part of my work follows astrology beyond the individual birth
chart. I study planetary cycles through history, national charts,
economics, politics, cultural change and the evolution of collective
ideas.
I am especially interested in recurrence. A planetary configuration
can return centuries later into a completely different world while
producing a recognisable symbolic problem. Following those repetitions
is one of the ways I test and refine astrological ideas.
My research includes historical astrology, mundane astrology,
civilisational astrology, national charts and long-range planetary
cycles. These subjects also inform the way I think about timing in
individual charts.
Much of this work eventually becomes long-form writing in
The Treasury, where I can follow a pattern in enough
detail to show how the argument develops.
