The Polymath turns one year old. After the Pause I’m back writing to that beloved vessel.
One Year of The Polymath – Returning to the Vessel and the New Moon in Virgo is a look back at its first year, the ideas it holds, what stays, what disappears, and what comes next. The post can be read on The Polymath site.
The Intelligence Of The Pause are two slightly different notes on pausing. The Intelligence of the Pause – After The Leo New Moon & The Solar Eclipse at The Polymath, and The Intelligence Of The Pause at The Listening Room HQ – my men’s practice.
Posting on The Polymath and The Listening Room HQ will resume in a couple of weeks.

The Aquarius Full Moon: Maps, Readings, and the Architecture of the Next Thirty Years is my latest post at The Polymath .
On 29 July, the Full Moon arrives at 6° Aquarius in precise conjunction with Pluto retrograde, marking a rare structural alignment that invites us to examine the foundations on which we are building our lives.
The essay explores this collective moment through astrology, Human Design and personal reflection, while also introducing the Maps & Readings and individual Sessions available through both The Polymath and its sister site, The Listening Room HQ, my men’s practice.

Field Notes – The Architecture of the Lane my new post on The Polymath talks of a late afternoon walk I took through old lanes and modern pavements reveals layers of architecture, class and memory. Abandoned houses, workers’ housing, porcelain swallows, hidden exhibitions and a clearing carpeted with fallen apples beneath a waxing Moon.

Field Notes – Solstice Roads my new post on The Polymath site is Field Notes from a Solstice journey between Porto and Lisboa. A day of buses, trains, sea water, unexpected encounters, a lost scarf, and the quiet arrival of summer. It can be read here.
Gemini New Moon, June 15 – The Things That Remain, my new post at The Polymath, is not an ordinary astrology post.
It starts with real every day life things, a song – The Irish Goodbye by Bernard Butler – conversations, a exhibition – Sentimento Monocromático (Monocromatic Feeling) by Gustavo Sanches de Castro, a poem – Na Spailpíní Fánacha (The Wandering Spailpín) read by Ian Duhig – a radio show – RTE Arena 100 – to arrive to what, for me, endures.
There’s pigeons, swings, sliders, ice creams, conversations too. You can read the full post here.
