I am not an astrologer. However, the success of Sign Show is dependent on the contributions of astrologers. So, I have been looking astrology videos on YouTube and contacting the publishers of these videos. One of the publishers was Kelly Lee Phipps. I initially was not that excited about his content; it wasn’t what I was looking for. I wanted daily, weekly, monthly, horoscope videos, not lectures. But, I contacted Kelly Lee Phipps anyway. (To be honest, I had not even watched his video before contacting him.)

I got back an incredible positive and long response. Kelly very politely informed me that had recently completed a documentary about astrology featuring over two dozen prominent astrologers. This year he is going to be going around the United States promoting the video.

I have since watched the trailer for the movie and a few of the clips that Kelly has released. In the trailer, there was an interesting common thread among several of the astrologers – they got into astrology by trying to disprove it. Yes, several of the biggest names in astrology were original skeptics.

I will try to cover Kelly Lee Phipps as he promotes the movie across the country. Here is the trailer that I mentioned.

Diana Garland did some of the best 2009 video horoscopes. Many video astrologers provide a couple minutes of content, which can seem a little short and too general. Not Diana Garland. Be prepared for a thought provoking 15 minute discussion.

Why the apology? When I listed Diana Garland in ” Best 2009 Horoscope Videos” – I linked her name to the wrong astrologer.

To visit Diana, please go http://www.dianagarland.co.uk/

To get a sample of her horoscopes, I present her Libra 2009 Horoscope below.

I’ve been asked by the Sign Show to review my 5 top astrology sites, mentioning how I use them and what makes them unique. Here goes then, at the rate of one per week, in no particular order, I’ll begin with Astrotheme.   Http://www.astrotheme.com

There is so much information at Astrotheme, it’s hard to know where to start. It’s a veritable astro-banquet! The website is French-based and available in both English and French language.
What makes Astrotheme unique, for me, is the scope of their vast astrology data base, and the way it has been pulled together in so many formats to highlight different astrological factors.
Membership is optional and free. I joined a long time ago, but never need to log in. The information I use is available to all. For personalized service, membership is necessary. As a member you can input your birth data and receive details of your transits, forecasts, and many other goodies. There are sections on affinity, synastry, astro-twins, and lots of other sidelights. You can even assess your compatibility with your favorite celebrity!
I visit the site regularly to find times of birth of the people I write about in my blog. There are around 35,000 famous people listed, with their astrological data presented, dissected and collated in several ways . For instance, as well as straightforward birth data, natal chart, biography and horoscope interpretation, the data is collated in another part of the site, to provide lists of personalities with specific dominant signs, planets or houses; hemispheres, polarity, etc. You can therefore search for celebrities who have, for example, Jupiter dominant, or Scorpio dominant.
If, like me, you don’t appreciate Astrotheme’s French-style charts, there are clear lists of planetary and house positions at the end of each individual horoscope interpretation. The unfamiliar French chart is my main criticism of this site, but as the site is French-based,  I guess it’s something we have to accept. I don’t usually  read the interpretations nor their biographies, I prefer to do my own research and interpretation. For a viewer without their own astro software, or in depth knowledge though, all the information on each well-known figure is handily presented there, in one place.
I discovered one other drawback while visiting the site as I was drafting this piece. I couldn’t find one of my favourite sections – the one offering groups of personalities with a sign or planet dominant. I had to go to Google and type in “Aries Dominant Astrotheme” to get me into the relevant section. Later I found the relevant link at the foot of the home page, in tiny font.  Astrotheme could use a nice clear detailed site map, using one whole page. It would be a helpful enhancement for new users and regulars alike. In my searchings I did stumble upon some sections I’d never seen before!  So, in the absence of an all-encompassing site map, it’s worth spending time on the site investigating all nooks and crannies.
Astrotheme is arguably the most comprehensive astrological website on the Internet,  some other sites I’ll  review later are  in the running for that title too.
