-+*Socia media can be painful. I just had one such interaction. I was making a joke and the other person (total stranger, probably decades younger than me) didn’t get the joke and I was sarcastic in response. I knew they wouldn’t get that joke either and they didn’t so they […]

-+*That everything is painful and you feel like it shouldn’t be so you fight against it and then it only hurts more. And it keeps on hurting until you learn this truth. That life IS painful. And there doesn’t come a time without pain, regret, loss. No matter what the […]
-+*Hello and happy Sunday. I’m thinking about therapy again and I’m thinking about writing. See, I’m working on a new book (which doesn’t have a home yet and thus seeking an agent/publisher) and the book has a therapist in it and I started this book last summer, a year before […]
-+*There comes a point in life — that if you want to stay alive, remain alive — that you have to stop asking God why you didn’t get what you wanted: beauty, love, money, children, whatever it is, or was. I was thinking about this tonight as I was walking home — […]
-+*Catch up here: Most recent blog post And the one before that I was sitting here thinking about how I’d love to talk about my ten years plus experience as an astrologer, talking to people, all kinds of people, including very difficult people. And by difficult I mean, well, I […]
-+*Today I had a fight with a stranger. So what else is new? I live in New York City. This was one of those dating app things. The Sun is in Libra after all. We’re in Libra Season with Mars in Libra and Mercury retrograde in, you guessed it, Libra! […]
-+*I don’t feel dead inside. Do you feel dead inside? I’m thinking about how I’m writing, working on, this new book, and I spent a year writing three chapters, off and on, and I keep searching for some of the feelings I had, the intensity and passion and pain and… […]
-+*I just deleted a bunch of stuff from this blog post. The entire first paragraph! It was about a certain Scorpio. I might tell this story another time. Let me do the commercials and links before we talk astrology: To book a Reading go here (and it’s busy but I […]
-+*So the Sun Pluto opposition is exact today and one way we can think of the Sun Pluto opposition is that the monster is inside us, not outside us. This is not true in all cases. And it may be both, inside and outside. You have an enemy over there […]
-+*I’m assuming astrologers are talking a blue streak about this week. We’re in the midst of Mars action: Mars entangled with both Saturn and Uranus and I’ve gone live a few times on Instagram and made podcast episodes about it and my final answer is this: DO NOTHING. Wait. You […]
-+*I feel like I’ve come out of a dark time, a dark wood. Some of the astrology: eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, but I believe it was more than that. An exorcism that a friend did for me. Neither of us intended this (it’s not on her menu of spiritual services) […]
-+*The most important thing you can do right now is realize how powerless you are. The second most important thing is the Saturn Uranus square, to know where this is happening in your chart because it tells the whole story of your life right now, including your powerlessness and who […]
-+*I meant to take a picture of the Chelsea Hotel but I was heading to the train and I didn’t stop to think and I didn’t stop to take the picture. I have one or two Chelsea Hotel stories in case you’re wondering and the first one, the one I […]
-+*Aries Season is dark for me. I mean, it’s my Eighth House. It’s not light bright shiny. And I know, I know, many fire signs will say to me: but I’m not light bright shiny at all. Still. It’s how we think of fire. Lighting our way out of the […]
-+*I find it hard to write about astrology these days and “these days” has lasted a couple years now. Once upon a time I blogged all the time, but no longer. I try to transition to other mediums to talk shop, but those don’t stick either. In short, I’m at a […]
-+*LETTERS TO MARS IN ARIES Letter no. 1 All crossroads are hard. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and they may try to. They may try to talk you down, try to talk you off the ledge, try to talk to you with those stupid stupid words in their mouth, […]
-+*Some thoughts on this weekend’s astrology: Two big events. Chiron goes retrograde. Mercury goes direct. They are related because they are both happening in such a short span of time. One in Aries, the other in Cancer, two signs (astrologers tell us) that are at odds with each other. Aries […]
-+*A few thoughts on this week’s #astrology – week of July 6, 2020. Follow me on Facebook. Dear monsters, I was going to talk about Chiron going retrograde this week (and I will) or Mercury going direct this week but really I want to talk ECLIPSE AFTERMATH and how my […]
-+*A few thoughts on today’s Full Moon Eclipse (July 4, 2020). Follow me on Facebook! Dear monsters: That this could be a Full Moon of self-loathing and I want to encourage you not to fall into the pit and you’re gonna want to fall into the pit and never get […]
-+* Read me on the Huffington Post Hear me on Kristy’s podcast (we were beset by Mercury retrograde difficulties but still interesting I think) The following post was originally on my Facebook. ** A few thoughts about this week in astrology the end of June 2020 and where we are, […]

-+*All the outer planets are monsters to me, huge beasts, often with wings, flying in, flying out of our lives, and loving us. Loving us to pieces. Crushing us. Crushing us to pieces. I spend my morning loitering as I look for the perfect café on the avenue. There’s a […]
-+*What you need is a life that gives you life. This is what I was thinking while taking the subway for the first time in three and half years, and I left a voice message for my friend wondering why I ever went to Manhattan when there was so much […]
-+*Gemini Season begins next week with the Sun and Mercury entering the sign on the same day – Tuesday May 21st. Now remember that Mars (aggression, initiation, energy, passion) just left Gemini and hadn’t been there for a couple years. That part of your chart was tending to other planetary […]
