To celebrate 11 years of Big Sky Astrology, we’re sporting a brand new look! Huge thanks go to fabulous design diva Tzaddi Gordon of ThriveWire, for her creative inspiration, beautiful work, and patient professionalism. After 12 years as a confirmed do-it-myselfer (with an occasional assist from my awesome spouse), I was more than ready for a collaborator, and Tzaddi was everything I could have hoped for.
You’ll find things have changed a little around here. Some of the older articles from the archives haven’t been moved over yet, but they’ll gradually find their way. There’s no longer a dedicated “articles” page; it’s all part of the astroblog now, though a few pages (wedding astrology, eclipse astrology) have links to specific, related posts. But all the stuff you’ve enjoyed is still here, and if you have trouble finding anything there’s a groovy little search thingie at the bottom right of this page.
Most of all, there’s room to grow. I’ve got some plans for what I want to offer you in the coming year, including:
- a membership area/playground with specific content for mailing list subscribers and folks who’ve purchased specific products that include videos and other downloads;
- an affiliate program, specifically to help promote my Moonshadow eclipse report and the new, expanded and updated Wedding Date Workshop (coming in June). So many readers and colleagues have recommended Moonshadow to their friends, clients, and customers, and this program will give me a way to reward that support and get my reports to new readers.
- more stuff to help you learn astrology, including videos, quizzes, and other fun downloads to support my book, The Essential Guide to Practical Astrology, which lands in a bookstore near you in June.
Interestingly, the progressed Sun for BigSkyAstrology.com recently entered a new sign (Cancer), and all the chart’s progressed angles are poised at 29 degrees of mutable signs. So this is a fitting time for both finishing up and new beginnings for the site – and I’m grateful for those of you who’ve been along for the ride, and for all who’ll join us for the next part of the journey! ETA (5/12/11): The Sabian Symbol for the degree of Big Sky’s progressed Sun is 1 Cancer: “On A Ship The Sailors Lower An Old Flag And Raise A New One.” Salute!

Wow April! I like it! This design has a buzz of excitement about it.
Wheee! Thank you, Michelle!
Wow, looks fabulous!! I look forward to perusing when I have some time!
Thanks, Leslee – I know you’ve been with Big Sky through a few of these redesigns!
Love it!
Did you pick this date to launch it?
But of course!
Glad you like it, Leslie – thanks!
April, it’s gorgeous, totally! I love it… what a wonderful reflection of your wonderful work!! Cheering from DownUnder, Lxx
Thank you, dear Lynda!
We launched with the Sun at 22 Taurus, “White Dove Flying Over Troubled Waters.” What a great image! xoxo
Awesomeness! I love the Alice-theme, and especially how the “Astrology” overlaps the primary navigation.
Thanks, Jeff! I was a little concerned about the logo font initially, but now I completely love it. We were trying not to be too overtly Alice, but the images are so awesome that we kept finding ourselves poking them in here and there!
- slick, yet fanciful invitation to discover Astrology a la April
-sorta like any Aston Martin
cheers
Absolutely the first time anything associated with me has been compared to an Aston Martin – and I LIKE IT!
Thanks, Dar!
Oh la la!!!
Oui! ;D
Beautiful, juicy and lively….reflecting you April, and your gifts to all of us.
Congratulations~~
Very kind of you, Colleen – I especially love “juicy.”
Love it April!
Thanks, Kelly! xoxo
Love the new look of this site! Creative and interesting!
Thanks – and speaking of creative and interesting, you have an awesome name!
I have been a member of MoonCircles.com for several years and navigated to this site today because of your article this month, WOW! what a beautiful and informative site. I love the Alice theme, too. And I am getting the new book for my Kindle. An astrological follower since my teens, I always want to know more! And now I want to do more!
Neat – thank you on all counts, Toni, and welcome!
Hi April
I came across your blog through Technorati and I love the look youve chosen. It seems to differentiate you from all the woo woo sites out there.
Congratulations.
