The way that I see astrology is as a repository of thought and psychology. A system we've created as a culture as way to make things mean things.

The zodiac is a system a person can play with and see meaning in.

I see disappointment as something small and aggregate rather than something unified or great. With a little effort, every failure can be turned into something good.

Astrology's a moving system that depends on where you're looking at it from on Earth. My horoscope here in London would be completely different to down in New Zealand.

I don't see that my age has anything to do with what is between the covers of my book, any more than the fact that I am right-handed. It's a fact of my biography, but it's uninteresting.

I think it's more optimistic about human nature to acknowledge that people are the products of their time but then to see that they have moments of grace and dignity that everybody has.
