+-*And today the Boyfriend said something that surprised me. He was joking but not really. Telling me that my purpose in life was to fret over him. That that was the reason why I was born. I told him I didn’t want that. It would deplete me. He laughed. It […]
+-*In Greek mythology, Pluto is given a helmet that makes him invisible. It’s a really interesting story, if you have the time to look it up. Even more interesting is that writers throughout the ages disagree on the details. Did the helmet belong to Pluto? Did he borrow it? Well, […]
+-*So I learned something new today. Paul of Solaris Astrology stopped by my blog, and I visited his, and I read his lovely descriptions of the planets, including the fact that Pluto governs orgasms. Did you know this? I think I used to know this… or remember reading it, but how […]
+-*One down, two to go. And today I almost wanted to apologize for how much I was sweating. “Real feel” 95 degrees or so in the big city. No ladylike Arid Xtra Dry here. I sweat the sweat of the entire NFL on a bad day. And it wasn’t like […]
+-*Romantic troubles have always inspired me. I love movies about marriages falling apart. And I don’t want to fight with my boyfriend, but when we do? I usually get 3 or 4 blog posts out of it. It’s just the way I am. What about you? Where do you find […]
+-*Now why would you want to do that? Because you have to! Squares don’t leave you alone. They act *inside* you, whether you want them to or not, whether you are conscious of them or not. Yes, THEM. I have more than one. Many of us do!
+-*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 […]
