 Maporama.Com ~
When constructing an astrological birthchart, it’s essential to know
the latitude and longitude of the birth location. This is the best online
reference I’ve found, with an international database. For the UK, you
can simply enter a postcode to access the exact geographic coordinates
for that place. It’s great for calculating charts. |

| Mystic Mildred ~ Part of the urban75 ezine, and worth visiting
anyway, Mystic Mildred inhabits their useless
games department, all carefully designed to help you throw time
away doing nothing productive at all. While probably I’m not supposed
to enjoy this so much, it did make me laugh, so do take a look, because
probably you will too… |
|
| Names of Days ~ Another recommendation from the Encyclopedia Mythica, this time an invaluable reference for those who struggle to remember which days were named after which gods and thus their astrological associations in turn. Personally, I have a hard time remembering which day it actually is, let alone which god it was named after… |
|
| NewAgeStore.com ~
Jen over at NewAgeStore.com runs a tight ship and has been patient and
persistent in her efforts to acquire an Astrologywizard.com recommendation.
It just remains to say that this is well deserved, since while
any storefront needs a commercial basis, look around for a lot of free
information that is likely to catch your eye. |

| North
Pole Live Webcam ~ We have had webcam pictures from the North
Pole for a while, but nothing to match the live pictures coming from
the South Pole. If you have ever wondered what is going on at the
ends of earth, this situation has now been (almost) rectified, although
you may need to search for a while for any day with good weather… |
|
| North Pole Swim ~ The Earth’s two poles are important to astrologers, because weird things start to happen there that question our understanding of how we usually look at a horoscope and how the dynamics of astrology actually work. So far as I know, nobody’s been born at either yet, but this guy just took a swim at one of them. |
|
| Nostradamus ~
Another excellent site for all you Nostradamus freaks out there, particularly
those who have been confused by some more recent hysteria regarding the
great man’s prophecies. Here you’ll learn of everything that he actually
wasn’t right about and that certainly is a great deal. A refreshing change from the usual Nostradamus fare… |
|
| Prediction
Magazine ~ The online presence of Prediction magazine, stalwart
of the UK’s alternative and New Age communities since long before such
terms became popular. Notable features include a variety of interesting
articles, free Sun sign forecasts and a great selection of desktop
wallpapers to download. |
|
| Probert
Encyclopaedia : Mythology ~ “The Probert Encyclopaedia … provides
a comprehensive Who’s Who of the world’s mythologies, arranged by tradition
for easy reference.” That’s what they say anyway and I’m inclined
to agree. It’s another useful site for those who can’t tell their Artemis
from their Electra… |
|
| Pug PROS ~ This recommendation is really nothing to do with astrology, but when I stumbled across this site somehow it completely touched my heart. Some of the stories are so sad and these people are doing such good work that they deserve your support in whatever way you can. Put your hand in your pocket and do something, then! |
|
| Quotations Page ~
Need something new for your MySpace headline and tired
of quoting Eminem? Writing regularly and short on things to say,
never mind, say what somebody else said instead. Impress the boys and
wow the girls, while sounding so erudite they’ll think you’ve
swallowed your dictionary. Funk me, all you cunning linguists! |
|
| Random.org ~
The UK lottery is based on six random numbers between 1-49, but choosing
truly random numbers isn’t so easy. Personal bias is inevitable, but the
more random your choices the better your chances are. Here then is the
perfect way to generate your own random numbers, although do still ask an astrologer
about the best time to play… |
|
| Repete After Moi ~ For those bemused by last week's recommendation of horoscopes in Dutch, French and German, here's a chance for monoglot English speakers to improve their knowledge of at least one of these. Okay, so Jean-Paul Sartre it isn't, but I didn't know how to say those things, and everybody loves Lily Allen don't they? |
