*+-It is starting to feel like fall here. That infernal sun has been less infernal for the last few days. It’s brand new these overcast skies. Although I was born in summer, I hate summer. It’s loud and hot and stupid and tomorrow the Sun enters LIBRA. Tis the Fall […]

*+-I’m not sure how to talk about my weekend yet — so instead I’ll talk to you about the week ahead. Remember that Mercury is retrograde now, in Libra. I had my first taste of it this morning, some internet streaming troubles on two different sites. I trashed a plug-in […]
*+-People really do come back from the dead. Especially the later-degree Pluto in Virgo generation RIGHT NOW with Mars conjunct your Pluto now. (Pluto is also conjoining my Moon.) Mars is blood, life. Pluto is death, rebirth. You can move mountains with this transit. What will you do with it? This […]
*+-So this evening I embarked on a journey 🙂 I asked my husband one of THOSE questions. One of those exploratory Moon Pluto questions. I asked him what challenges he was facing being married. To me. I wasn’t looking for critique… I was looking for… what was he going through, experiencing, […]
*+-Young women have been commenting on my blog lately, self-admitted virgins (in their 20s and 30s I think) and I just wanted to address this — that there is NO SHAME in feeling shame. Think about that for a minute. And NO SHAME in being a virgin. And NO SHAME […]
*+-Part One is HERE Part Two is HERE ** Ideally, Virgo is small, fast, and efficient. Gets the job done. The 6th house is Virgo’s “natural” house, the house of small animals, pets. Manageable, right? Unlike the vast 12th house of horses and lions of the imagination and monsters in […]
*+-I’m starting with the 12th House because Mars (now in Virgo) is transiting the tail-end of my 12th and EVERYTHING for me goes back to The Spiritual. EVERYTHING. All roads lead. The 12th House is a mystical house. It rules not just suffering but THE SEA. The afterworld. Other not-so-random […]
*+-Mars is now in Virgo… Want to take the Virgo challenge with me? Organize your body: physical body, mental body, spiritual body, home body. Clean something up. For me, it’s the apartment (de-cluttering, organizing) and my health – back to a regular work out (HIIT) routine Mars is still in […]
*+-Me: Honey? Him: What? Me: I think I might be… happy. And yes, this feeling is… that unfamiliar. And again I re-commit myself to mindfulness because life can change in an instant. Is this wisdom? Or worry? A little of both maybe. And VERY VIRGO. A little doomsday with your […]
*+-My Canadian husband and I wanted to go out to eat today for something very special but the place closes at 4pm and there’s too much work to do. Maybe Tuesday. They are closed Monday. It’s Thanksgiving today in Canada. Didn’t know this. He didn’t tell me either. I accused him […]
*+-I took the long way today. Do you ever take the long way? I was heading to Christopher Street in the Village and switching trains when I realized that I’d made a mistake. The train I was on was the one that I needed. So I decided to walk. I […]
*+-Neptune went retrograde on Monday, which was Eclipse Day. And if Neptune, on a bad day represents our confusion, then what does Neptune Rx represent? More confusion? The dream inside the dream is another way to look at it. Edgar Cayce talked about Ideals, having an Ideal, a spiritual ideal. Something […]
*+-Wednesday morning in the Big City and I was just tweeting that I’m not ready to open the blinds yet. I can hear the birds outside and still waking up 🙂 And I woke up this morning thinking about Saturn in Libra and Saturn in Scorpio– If Saturn represents boundaries and […]
*+-You may feel like hiding in your shell from the world. The Moon is in hard and soft Cancer trine Neptune and Chiron. Beauty and the beast 😉 Do you ever have a sudden good mood or a sudden lousy mood or a sudden eh mood and then run to […]
*+-Does the teacher teach the student or does the student teach the teacher? It works both ways, right? Today I met with my new teacher and it was better than the first time. Much better. I prepared the right way although I was still nervous. I relaxed though, once I […]
*+-There are things I feel I should be writing about, such as: the Uranus-Pluto square, Mercury entering Taurus, the Venus Transit, the coming Eclipse, and more! The Sun is conjunct Jupiter NOW but gets closer and closer as the days pass and perfects on Sunday morning, Big City time. Find […]
Some weeks ago I introduced my Mars in Virgo (Direct!) Challenge: how’s it going? Did you start something new? Or leave something behind/quit? I quit smoking. Click here for the link! to the original post *** I’ve been writing about the 6th House/12th House axis lately, and I realize it matters […]
*+-I’m a little under the weather this morning but wanted to check in with my peeps 🙂 See how everyone is doing. How’s your Mars in Virgo (Direct!) challenge going? Click here for the link! Mine is going pretty well and maybe why I feel sick. My body is doing […]
*+-The other day I announced my Mars in Virgo (Direct!) call to arms, a challenge for anyone interested. A Mars in Virgo support group 🙂 Click here for the link! And with the incentive that I’d do a raffle once Mars is done with Virgo (one winner for a Mini-Reading). […]
X is a querent who came to me for a reading and what resulted from the reading was passion. Finding it. Where was it hiding? *** I primarily looked at some of her outer planet transits, the ones that spoke to me. Yup, on the angles or heading there. 1st […]
*+-Is there something in your life you want to fix? Think Virgo, think 6th House: Daily routines, health, work… but you can insert any Virgo/6th House matter or issue here and just commit to… working on it! Not commit to perfection or eradication or WORRYING about it, but… for the […]
*+-I never knew I went around anticipating others’ needs until it was pointed out to me and not even in those words. Maybe the words she used were “taking care of” others and I never thought of myself as taking care of others because I do believe that some people […]
*+-I am using charged language here on purpose: FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT. Because that’s what I hear in my head sometimes. That’s what many women (and men) hear in their heads. Sometimes. And I’ve got Mars, PASSION, in the sign of Cancer, FOOD, square Jupiter EXCESS.  The square is the tension. […]
*+-Gemini rules writing and writers, and Venus enters Gemini late morning, tomorrow, Big City time. Before things felt more solid with my boyfriend I used to feel that he was my love story. Funny how that works. Something can be shifting and uncertain but you hope, romantically so, and you […]
