About me

 

 

My interest in astrology commenced in childhood, due to a combination of cosmic and genetic influences.

 

My overall world view was particularly influenced by my Piscean grandfather, artist, caricaturist and political cartoonist George Finey, who was also a philosoper in his way.

 

I have since discovered that he was born exactly one week before noted astrologer Dane Rudhyar, with whom he also shared a Sagittarian Ascendant.

 

I spent the first years of my life growing up in the beautiful Blue Mountains, where we lived in a house called "Chiron". The house was eventually bulldozed when the highway was widened.

 

When I was about nine years old, my mother, for reasons she has never been able to adequately explain, purchased a copy of Ronald C. Davison's book Astrology, not for herself, although she did have an interested in the topic, but because she just had a feeling that one day I might become an astrologer and need the book. 

 

In 1972 Linda Goodman's Sun Signs appeared and the renaissance of astrology began. I devoured every page. The truth of astrology was self-evident.

 

I began studying astrology in more depth in 1980 when transiting Uranus was making a conjunction to my natal Jupiter in Scorpio, using Davison's Book to calculate my first chart.

 

Later, I was introduced to Jung in 1984 when my grandfather gave me a copy of Memories Dreams and Reflections.

 

For the past several years my articles have appeared in Wellspring's Astrolog and Nature and Health Annual and in several other publications including The Mountain Astrologer.

 

In 2006 I wrote a Health and Wellbeing Report for Esoteric Technologies Solar Fire Suite, which focuses on stress management and wellbeing.

 

My main astrological interests are in research and mundane astrology and helping to facilitate personal growth and awareness.

 

I'm a member of the Association of Professional Astrologers.
