Nicholas Kollerstrom has always had an interest in hermetic and alchemical matters. For nearly thirty years he has produced Britain’s Moon-gardening calendar. Emerson College He studied at Emerson College, becoming deeply immersed in the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. But he has also worked for the Medical Research Council (no animal experiments in the lab) and as a school maths teacher. Crop Circles He has produced a study of the geometry of crop-circle patterns, recommended by the Association of Teachers of Mathematics as ‘a must for every school library.’ More recently he has published evidence showing how the fertility of racehorses is linked to the lunar cycle. Scientific Inspiration And Astrology The main innovation in his life came when he was 42 years old at his Uranus-opposition, when he and a colleague showed how moments of scientific inspiration were linked to quintile and septile aspects – a result which has been recognised as scientifically valid in astrology.
