Press Dispensary - May 14, 2008 - Acclaimed astrologer, Archie Dunlop, is making his brand of smart, subtle stargazing available online with the launch of [http://www.elnu.com|elnu.com]. elnu.com answers the UK's appetite for real, gimmick-free astrology, that is often left unsatisfied by the kind of fast food mysticism served up by the majority of popular astrology sites.
On elnu.com, sophisticated star sign forecasts and an [http://www.elnu.com/blog/archives/category/askarchie|'Ask Archie' ] page sit alongside regular [http://www.elnu.com/news-index.php|astrological commentary on news, celebrities and global trends ]. There are also free daily audio horoscopes – normally only available from premium-rate phone lines.
The site’s straightforward design and clear, clever content reflect the personality of its creator, who is as down to earth as a ‘star man’ can be. A professional full-time astrologer with more than 20 years experience, Archie shuns ‘psychic-babble’ in favour of profiles and predictions based on actual analysis of how movements in the heavens affect what happens down here on earth.
And, unlike the predictable purple colouring and stale ‘sky at night’ design replicated across a host of horoscope sites, elnu.com’s muted monochrome look is refreshingly free from astrological paraphernalia.
But what really sets the site apart from its competitors is its regular news commentary, updated several times a week, to help readers understand the [http://www.elnu.com/blog/archives/category/newsastrology|planetary movements behind the headlines]. The site currently gives the astrological perspective on topical stories such as [http://www.elnu.com/blog/newsastrology/2008/33|Hillary-vs-Obama], [http://www.elnu.com/blog/newsastrology/2008/37|Josef Fritzl], and the [http://www.elnu.com/blog/newsastrology/2008/40|TIME 100 most influential people ]list.
Archie Dunlop says: “Astrology is much more than churning out generic horoscopes – it’s an ancient art going back thousands of years to Babylon and beyond. I also work with Hindu astrology, to harness its potent predictive powers, and I apply the same techniques that astrologers used in seventeenth century Europe to offer a different outlook on twenty-first century politics and current affairs.
“My latest ‘Astrology and the news’ article argues that the powerful [http://www.elnu.com/blog/newsastrology/2008/42|20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle will contribute to the break up of the European Union], just as it played a part in the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall, and questions whether David Cameron has what it takes astrologically to cope with the situation he would have to face as Prime Minister.”
The site features comprehensive coverage of the 12 star signs, each [http://www.elnu.com/find-your-star-sign.php|illustrated by original hand-drawn designs], looking at personality, careers, money and love. It also includes free daily audio forecasts for each sign. The love section includes compatibility checks with other star signs, so users can find out whether a new romance is destined to be a ‘star-crossed love’ or a ‘battle of the planets’.
