+-*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, […]
+-*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, […]
