Primary considerations
Articles need to show a good understanding of astrological principles.
Articles need to be about astrology, or matters relevant to astrology with references to astrology included, with the main body of the work devoted to astrological discussion.
Preference is given to articles that have not appeared in any other publication. Please advise the editor if the article has been previously published or has been sent to other publishers.
Length
Maximum length is 4000 words and shorter is preferable (1000 - 3000 words). Longer articles may be divided into smaller parts for publication.
Data sources
All data sources for astrology charts should be given. If you have got your data from a Data Collection or biography, please cite the name of the collection or book.
Please endeavour to utilise Lois Rodden’s Rating System as given here:
AA: Birth Certificate; Birth Record; state, church or family records; A: Accurate data from person, family, or associate; B: Biography or autobiography; C: Caution; no source of origin; DD: Dirty Data: more than one time/date/place/source
Quotes
Any direct quotes from books, magazines, articles, journals, etc must be in quotes with full reference to the source in a reference section at the end of your article.

Howard Sasportas, The Twelve Houses, The Aquarian Press, London, 1985 pp. 271-72 When citing periodicals or magazines, Author, Title of article, Title of publication, Date of publication, Page number. eg Babula Phillips, Lilith the Black Moon, The FAA Journal, March 1998, p 33.
