+-*I woke up at 5 a.m. today. Well, the cats woke me up, and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I’d stopped blaming the eclipse energy for any and all, and I knew I had laundry to do. Did I brave it? Leave the bed? I probably had two clean […]
+-*I hate it when there’s not enough time. That’s how I feel today, this week. As a good Virgo Moon and Rising, I rarely run late and I’m rarely behind. So I’ve decided to blame the eclipses! And why not? I hope to be back later tonight or tomorrow to […]
+-*Easy for me to do: I don’t have that many! Trines are ease, trines are flow, with a trine you don’t even have to fiddle with the doorknob; the door magically opens! Has this been your experience?
+-*Is Venus actually about sex? And not about love? I am wondering this more and more. We are taught that Venus is our love nature but I keep seeing it played out otherwise. Not that Mars and Venus are interchangeable but that I think the Moon has more, way more, […]
+-*In love, you make yourself vulnerable. True? Open yourself up. Show yourself? Nakedness is not about the body, never about the body. It’s about what’s under the surface, inside, but how does one get past the surface of the body with all this schmutz in the way?
+-*Yep, I have one. My Venus is squared by Saturn and Neptune. The Saturn square is wide, but I claim it. The Neptune square is painfully close. My Venus also sextiles Jupiter but tend to forget that. My Venus is in the 12th. Interesting how easy it is to remember […]
+-*So the other day I did a reading for someone with Scorpio planets, a deeply spiritual person. I mean: the Real Deal. Jupiter trine Neptune in the birth chart. Neptune in the 6th House. Real compassion, real caring, real… desire.
+-*When I think of “psychic,” I think of people who can tell you where your keys are when you lose them 🙂 But I know it’s more than that. It’s a continuum. For example, when you meet with an astrologer or Tarot reader, etc and they venture away from the […]
+-*Everybody’s talking about the Moon in Taurus, Moon in Taurus, Moon in Taurus. Because what comes after the Moon in Taurus? The Eclipse! New Moon in Gemini!
+-*I’ve decided that the inconjunct should be called the inconJUNK. Because that’s how this aspect feels to me. Junky. This is the “needs adjustment” aspect. The two inconjuncted planets don’t make sense together. They can’t even see each other. I mean, an opposition? That’s across a crowded room. A square? Out […]
+-*Do you go deep into a chart? I am doing more and more readings and… I realize that I like only one (!) chart in my head at a time. As I write this I realize I’m the same way in love: monogamous! I look at the wheel, look at […]
+-*If you want a little bit of harmless fun, then spend some time talking to a Venus in Aquarius who is in denial about the legendary Aquarian detatchment. Even though Venus is supposedly love and Mars is supposedly sex, either one in Aquarius seems to me to be a bit […]
+-*I was tired today. Felt under the weather. Allergies maybe. Or getting used to the new warm temperatures here in the Big City. I began to worry whether my blog posts and comments sounded sleepy, too stream of consciousness. I posted anyway. We all have our days 🙂
+-*These things go together: astrology, tarot, meditation. Meditation more than anything (or as much as learning/practicing the esoteric arts) will improve the intuition which I believe will make you a better reader (of cards, charts, etc). Of course, you also need a heart (rare), and soul (even more rare), and […]
+-*How do you handle a crisis? Is life still beautiful when you are in crisis? Or do you collapse? Do you become a superhero, or a child? Or parts of each, 3/4 Save the Day and 1/4 Fall to Pieces. It’s like cooking. Measure by measure.
+-*Today’s Inspirational Message: Doors must open. Some people spend their whole lives trying and not succeeding. Some people spend their whole lives lucky and in love. Still others are in the middle, win some, lose some. Sigh. Cue “Maybe This Time,” from Cabaret.
+-*This morning I informed my boyfriend that a number of his female Facebook friends look like hookers. Not that they are hookers, but that they cultivate that look. Well, a certain hooker look from a certain era: perms, boobage, slinky outfits, come-hither looks. You know what I mean. And not […]
+-*Yes, meditation and cats. I’d been wanting to write on this topic for a while now. I’m a long-time meditator with sometimes shoddy discipline and sometimes… good discipline. I basically do two types. I’m a huge fan (if fan is the right word) of Pema Chodron and her teachings. And […]
+-*Sometimes I think astrology was invented just to talk about Scorpio. Sure, we can stroll through the zodiac, chatting about… Geminis who need more than one girlfriend or Pisces with sensitive feet or Leos who light up the room when they enter, but… it all pales in comparison doesn’t it? […]
+-*And so begins my series on Romantic Compatibility. Please know that I’m probably not going to write about the obvious: water and water, earth and earth, fire and air, etc. I want to write about the weird. And what could be more weird than homey, homebody, oversensitive, mothering Cancer… with […]
+-*And now the Moon is safely tucked away in Aries 😉  Yeah, I know, it’s kinda funny to say that, but I’m just glad we’re out of that Pisces void-of-course Moon and onwards, fire, onwards. Back to the beginning, zodiac-style. And, no, I’m not going to mention the New Moon […]
+-*Bad things happen. Scary things happen. Are these platitudes? Maybe. Maybe for Moon Pluto people. That’s what we are, right? Some of us 😉 This morning there was a crisis on the homefront for me and my  mind immediately turned towards this summer’s eclipses which are… right around the corner. […]
+-*Insight. Where does it come from? I often use my own chart and my own experience as a jumping off point when I write. Or the charts of people I know well. I always hope others can relate, to my chart, to my… issues, even if they aren’t exactly the […]
+-*I think I am going to start tracking the VOC moons, see if they are related to mooD and mood swings, the downward kind or any kind. I may look at aspects to my chart, but just by sign. For example, Pisces works pretty well with mine, trining my water, […]
