+-*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, […]
+-*I find myself wanting to write and not finding any inspiration. I look on my Blackberry (it’s where I write, during the day) and the drafts don’t interest me. And I think: uh-huh. Void of Course Moon. But really? Could it be? Okay, I’m a Cancer Sun. I’ve got Moon […]
+-*Has this been true for you? I’m less than two months away from turning 41 and I still don’t identify with 40. Or with thirtysomethings. What did turning 40 or 41 or 42 (or more) bring you? Can you pinpoint any interesting transits? For the under 40s, what ages/transits were […]
+-*My new blog feels like a new baby. I don’t want to leave her alone for long 🙂 So I’m driven to write this little post here to… whoever is reading this now… that I’ll be back later to write more and respond to comments. By the way, if there […]
+-*A few years after I started studied astrology, the same teacher offered Tarot classes. I loved his wisdom and his knowledge so of course I signed up. I took to it right away. Best thing was that the Tarot seemed to perfectly complement my astrological studies and made my astrology […]
+-*Are you an early riser? Do some signs wake up earlier than others? Who longs to stay in bed the longest? For me, it’s always different. If I haven’t slept well, and this happens frequently, due to frisky cats waking me up, or not, then I want to sleep until […]
+-*A little discussion on Twitter got me thinking about Sagittarius on the I.C., my natal placement. This has meant for me, among other things: 1. Always moving house, as a kid and up to about age 30. In college and grad school I must have moved EVERY year. 2. Always […]
+-*One last Virgo post before I take a much needed Virgo break. See, I write a lot about Virgo because I have a lot of Virgo in my chart and when others have Virgo-related issues, I want to help. And with Virgo? A little goes a long way. But first […]
+-*How to be a Virgo in 5 Easy steps! Okay, I’m teasing. Just a little. I’m trying to help a pal who has South Node in Pisces who wants to learn how to do her Virgo better. While I was on the road today, I jotted down some thoughts. 1. […]
+-*Jupiter really is hanging in there, hanging on to his last days in Aries. It was a quick transit and I think overshadowed by the awesome Aries stellium action (not even including Jupiter). Remember that? I thought I was going to lose my mind as it squared my Cancer Sun, […]
+-*Depression. What is it good for? Astrologers often blame Moon Saturn contacts for the heaviness of depression and I’ve got the trine and do not disagree. And then there are Moon Pluto aspects which can cause much emotional intensity. No matter how you slice it, does it all come back […]
+-*Answer: North Node in Pisces feels like VIRGO!!! I’m talking about this topic today by request, although I’m pretty obsessed with the Nodes anyway. But back to my train of thought (says Virgo South Node. Don’t interrupt my flow which really isn’t flow at all but R I G I […]
+-*So I just found out, or realized, that when someone comments on my blog, an excerpt of the comment doesn’t show up on the front page, just the name of the commenter and the post. This bums me out because I like to respond and maybe people don’t realize that […]
+-*Here we go, Gemini! The Sun is in your sign and so it begins. For me? Gemini is my 10th House of career and my MC trines my natal Uranus. Which reminds me of a recent snowy day in NYC. Actually, not so recent. This was back in February, and […]
+-*I find this topic hard to talk about, which makes me want to talk about it even more. Somewhat. Transiting Uranus in opposition to natal Uranus is one of those famous mid-life transits and I’m just about there. But where it takes me is to the body, my body, and […]
+-*Yes, this is about my own Venus placement, but it might be yours too: Venus in House 12, in Leo, t-squared by Neptune and Saturn, sextiled by Jupiter, and… why do I always mention that detail last? The Jupiter Venus sextile. As if this sextile, the closest aspect in my chart by degree, is […]
