-+*I was listening to a podcast just now (I have a couple favorites) and the host was saying “self help” but what I heard was “self hate” and I thought this was funny, and this morning I exercised first thing, and there was a moment when a part of my […]

-+*Have you ever built something from nothing? I have. Over and over and over. So I’m hard at work on the book the book the book, book number three. No agent yet, but I’ll get one and we’ll find it a home. AND THEN I CAN BE AT PEACE (yes […]
-+*I don’t want to write a gloomy blog post, really I don’t, but I’ve got my eye on this Venus Saturn square (exact this week) so let’s talk a little bit about it and see if I can give it a positive spin. I mean, I gave that Mars Chiron […]
-+*It’s been three weeks. It’ll be three weeks tomorrow: the anniversary of the last time I spoke to The Good Doctor, and the weeks leading up to the last time we spoke were excruciating, and the therapy itself (nearly a year’s worth) was excruciating, and I’d be lying if I […]
-+*Not every Full Moon is a life-changer and not every Full Moon needs to be, but one thing I think is unique about this particular Full Moon is the fact that Saturn is retrograde. Usually, normally, Saturn wants to teach us, but how I’m feeling under this Full Moon is […]
-+*I identify so much with the life and death. With the life and death story, struggle. When I bleed each month (or every couple months, these days) it’s life and death that I relate to. In my own Jewish tradition, blood is life and we’re not permitted to eat it. […]
-+*I’ve been going through something the last couple of weeks, a journey of sorts, in the emotional realm (OH that’s putting it nicely) and this morning I went back to sleep after being awake and up and fine at 4:30 in the morning, but I’m so glad I went back […]
-+*Grief is like heat. These days, it feels to me like heat, and I feel like it crawls on little feet, up the neck, down the neck. I know what you’re thinking: it’s a hot flash, honey. But seriously. There’s a lot of grief these days, too much, and plenty […]
-+*I keep forgetting it’s Eclipse Season. I need to stop forgetting that. This is the time of year when we can blame *everything* on the eclipses, and I’ll let you know when we need to stop doing that, and maybe that time is never. So it’s almost 9pm and I’m […]
-+*First, a story: Some years ago, I had a friend who was schizophrenic, and she would go off her medication with some regularity and would wind up back in the hospital after violent behavior. She lived in a boarding house run by a kindly woman who took in all kind […]
-+*There’s a whirlwind out there and I don’t know what it is or where it came from or if it’s your individual chart or in the collective sky or what, but there’s a whirlwind out there and maybe it’s the eclipses but they aren’t until April/May so let’s figure it […]
-+*The menstruation of mid-life, for me, has long been an underworld adventure. A trip. This one is typical and yet not so bad. Is it me? Am I reacting differently? Are those vitamins helping me out? New liquid iron supplement. My mother always said to take the B’s although sometimes […]
-+*A good friend of mine sent me a shidduch resume. Let me translate for you. My friend is a religious woman. That’s the word I use. She would use a different word. I also like the word pious. She’s a pious Jew and I’ve known her a long time, she’s […]
-+*My intuition is like a laser. I recently made a new acquaintance, and I saw through her like a pane of glass, and I think eventually she realized this, and then she blocked me because she couldn’t fool me. I saw it from miles away. My bad that I let […]
-+*I got a new Testimonial the other day! Aliza is the rare mix of accurate psychic, skilled astrologer, and clear counsel, giving you the message you need to hear in a way you can hear it. Her reading has helped me navigate changes and challenges with more grace and awareness […]
-+*Hi. It’s been a while. How are you? I know I don’t blog so much anymore and every time I come back here, I say the same thing! But I felt like it tonight, and also to remind you, and me, that we’re both still alive. We’re here. So in […]
-+*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 […]
