I grew up reading Sydney Omarr’s daily horoscopes, and that was my first exposure to astrology. When I started getting into the subject and could understand how horoscopes are actually written, I became a HUGE fan of Susan Miller’s monthly forecasts. http://astrologyzone.com/forecasts/

I read Susan Miller too. One of the best though, and unfortunately he’s only in Italian..I’d love to translate him for something..is Paolo Fox. His famous line for people who don’t believe in astrology is “Non credete, verificate”, which means don’t just believe it, read/listen and see how it plays out in your life to “verify” that it’s true, and that’s enough to make you a believer. It’s great because he’s not interested in convincing anyone of anything. He outlines how to take advantage of what’s happening astrologically at the moment to benefit your life. He sees astrology as a tool for knowing who you are so you can build on your strengths and be aware of your weaknesses. I find it really helpful. Just like Elsa is really helpful, because the more you know about yourself the better life is.

you!

and for horoscopes, Astrodienst because they are relatively accurate and I don’t really know a lot of writers of daily horoscopes/ones that take into account more of your chart than your Sun Sign.

I’m just getting into your site and I think it’s because you’re so honest. If you agree or disagree, you say so rather than sugar coat everything. I believe in astrology but know nothing about it, other than things work together and things don’t.

I only read you. Seriously. Only one I ever have.

I always remnember Nick Campion’s quote on Patric. “The first time I spoke to Patric Walker I had been going through my Uranus opposition, my Pluto square and a range of other major outer planet transits, and I felt pretty emotionally exhausted. He asked me what my Sunsign was and, on hearing it was Pisces, he gave me a complete reading based on the presence of transiting Saturn in my solar twelfth house. He did as much with that as any other astrologer would have done with a Pluto, Uranus and the rest of the cast.”

you, because you’re a good one. you’re honest, and to the point – there’s no sugarcoating, but no needless harshness either.

and Rob Brezsny, because he’s so damned poetic and inspiring, and always seems to hit it spot on…

Sally Brompton who writes for The Mail On Sunday Magazine in the UK is Patric’s officially appointed successor. However other astrologers such as Shelley Von Strunckel (Sunday Times) and Jonathan Cainer were colleagues and heavily influenced by Patric. One thing that Jonathan revealed to me is that Patric shunned houses and only used aspects (as Jonathan himself does). The twelvefold division of the ecliptic is highly symbolic and obviously fundamental to astrological thought,however there are myriad ways that the great circles can be divided to produce house systems and many move planets from one house to another. I recommend abandoning houses as Patric did as every bit of information you need can be found through study of the angular relationships (aspects/harmonics) between the planets from the solar chart.
