In the past seventeen years I've written, edited or contributed to 29 astrology books, annuals and anthologies. Among these, Astrology: Woman to Woman, Optimum Child (revised as Astrology & Your Child), and the Llewellyn Sun Sign and Moon Sign Annuals are probably the best known. Several of my books have been translated into other languages beyond English. Other writing projects have included newspaper and magazine columns on or about astrology, in addition to work that's appeared online for a variety of applications. I've also written interpretations for several computerized astrology programs. (For samples and ordering information on these reports, click here.)

Below you will find some pieces of my writing to download and enjoy at your leisure. So long as the source is noted, you are welcome to pass them along to others who love astrology or are curious about what insights it can give them about themselves and their loved ones. (Many of the files are in PDF format, for which you need the software program, Adobe Acrobat Reader, in versions 6.0 or beyond. Download a free copy of this invaluable utility at the Adobe website.)




Astrology for Beginners - Some Samples

I've taught astrology at all levels, but I particularly enjoy opening up the world of astrology to newcomers and sharing the insights and amazing accuracy this field of study can provide. For that reason, I've created a 23-page free e-booklet, Astrology 101, which you can download here in PDF format.

This free booklet summarizes the basics of astrology - the 12 signs, the planets, the elements and other features of the birth chart - along with a handy glossary that translates the mysterious dialect of Astrologese you may have heard astrologers and other astrology lovers speaking. I hope you enjoy it.

Another useful piece for beginner and intermediate students is my 10-page article on children's Moon signs. Especially of interest to parents and others whose lives bring them into close contact with children, this article explains what the Moon represents in a child's chart with descriptions of a child's Moon in all twelve zodiac signs. You can download it here in PDF format. (A sample of my specially-written computer report on a child's chart is available on my reports page.)
