Tim Burton's dark yet whimsical films include Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish. This year he is coming out with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Corpse Bride. The most recent article on my Astrology at the Movies blog discusses how the archetype of Pluto, god of the underworld, pervades Burton's films. I provide an in-depth exploration of how the death-rebirth process in Nightmare Before Christmas reflects the obsessions we go through to try to get to the bottom of whatever fascinates us.

April features a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. Scorpio concerns the intimacies and resources we share, whether with a mate or a business partner. Sex, death and taxes (only two of which we can depend on).

Full moons bring aspects of our unconscious to light. On the 24th, consider

• what secrets you are keeping
• which fears block you from being more intimate with your partner
• what power you give to the idea of "money"
• shadow emotions like jealousy, possessiveness, rage

Try to be conscious of this area of your life so that it does not bite you when you least expect it.

Last month, I was part of a panel discussion with the New York Astrology Group at the New Life Expo. The NYAG's goal is to educate the public about astrology; their website will be coming soon.

My new book The Astrology of Film, an anthology of essays about movies and directors, has been getting positive reviews all over the web.

My article on the films of Robert Zemeckis was published in The Ingress, newsletter for the NY chapter of the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR).

I have been working full-time at a community mental health clinic, and as much as I love psychotherapy, astrology is my passion. Please support my goal of making astrology my primary source of income! Refer a friend for an astrology reading; come back for a follow-up consultation.
