Richard’s interest in astrology began over fifteen years ago, leading him to study Hellenistic Astrology under Chris Brennan. He regularly supplements his learning through the Scottish Astrological Association, of which he is a member.

His client practice is rooted in traditional astrology, using whole sign houses in the tropical zodiac. He also applies the three modern planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - in addition to the traditional seven, as well as some minor astrological bodies when appropriate.

Alongside astrology, he runs an independent publisher for contemporary literature. He is the former Reviews Editor for an independent arts journal, and has organised numerous poetry events.

Originally from the West Country, England, he now lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

Richard is a Libra rising and Aquarius Sun with a full Moon in Leo.
