Tim Rubald is based in Hawaii and publishes Astrology STARTALK, where he writes about solstices, equinoxes, cross-quarter days, and the astronomical basis of the tropical zodiac, often situating these in the context of seasonal and cultural traditions such as Samhain and Yule. He distinguishes the tropical zodiac used in most Western astrology from the constellation-based zodiac used by sidereal and Vedic astrologers, and argues for in-depth, individualized horoscope analysis rather than generalized sun-sign astrology. He maintains a Facebook page, Astrology with Tim Rubald, and an X/Twitter account under the handle @STARTALKER.
