*+-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 […]

*+-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 đŸ™‚ And I woke up this morning thinking about Saturn in Libra and Saturn in Scorpio– If Saturn represents boundaries and […]
*+-I have very little fire in my chart. One planet in fire, a personal planet, AND in the 12th House. Doused! Even my Mars (i.e. Aries i.e. fire) is in a water sign. Adventure for me is… going to a different diner which is kinda what I’ve been up to […]
*+-I was telling someone on Twitter that I felt self-conscious on my blog lately, my posts tending to be extra rambly but even before I said that she mentioned she’d been enjoying my posts lately so for some people, I’m doing something right đŸ™‚ Mercury entered Taurus today and I […]
*+-How do you feel under a Scorpio Moon? Astrologers always told me I should follow the Moon cycle because I am a Cancer Sun and it wasn’t until I started studying astrology and doing astrology that I really paid attention. The Scorpio Moon works nicely in my chart, receives trines […]
*+-I can feel life slow down. And I can feel life speed up. And over the last day or so I felt this shift and today while waiting for my train I became conscious of my Life in the Big City. Do you know that feeling? You become aware of… […]
*+-The weather in the Big Apple has turned heavenly. I don’t even know what the temperature is exactly today (just checked, 60 F) Â but I know that it is COOL and a little windy and a cloudless sky and heaven. This is the time of year that I like… the […]
*+-So cool! And I don’t just mean today’s temperature, which is deliciously cool and a preview of fall, my favorite season for weather. A reader wrote in to say that she read one of my Virgo posts to a group of women she meets with on the New and Full […]
*+-A professor friend of mine told me that his buddies in the meteorology department told him that predicting the weather is “an art, not a science.” I grew up in Miami. There’s no way to know which way these things will turn for sure. Many will probably accuse Mayor Bloomberg […]
*+-Almost 5pm, New York City time, and the rain is starting, and the leaves on the tree outside my window are blowing. I was outside just a few minutes ago, for a Marlboro Red, which I didn’t finish. In addition to bread, peanut butter, batteries, radio, flashlight… cigarettes are *not* […]
*+-Virgo? It’s your day! Sun and Venus in your sign + New Moon tomorrow! Prim and proper Virgo, I suggest you work your Virgin-side and go for something lacy. Or racy đŸ˜‰ Leo? Mercury went direct in your sign, so go bold with your look. Organza! And Big Hair Absolutely. […]
*+-I felt sick to my stomach. And as I went to the bodega to buy a loaf of bread, I thought to myself: Self? Is this your fear? Or are you doing that Moon Pluto thing again? The antennae. Merging with NYC’s collective anxiety. My arms have broken out in […]
*+-So I’m listening to the radio, for as long as I have power. WOR, which is AM. I discovered this station during 9/11 and it’s my preferred listening for… events like this? Freak weather? And I’m pretty much all set here with my supplies. Now comes the waiting because we’re […]
*+-Hey guys I’m back! For now đŸ™‚ I know I’m behind in responding to comments but will-do as soon as I can. Wanted to write here first. I’m listening to the Mayor now on my little radio, my little plugged in radio. Here’s a Mercury Retrograde story. Mercury is still […]
*+-The weather dude on the radio just mentioned the New Moon making things worse for this “perfect storm,” Hurricane Irene. We all know about the moon and tides but rarely do we (I) think of it so literally and how it affects us. Still, I smiled at astrology on the […]
*+-The first astrologer I ever spoke to — I was in my early 20s I think — told me that my Moon Pluto conjunction meant that I tuned-in to the collective. I could feel what they were feeling and may have a hard time separating their feelings from my own. […]
*+-I have been a cleaning maniac this weekend. Unprecedented. Or, at least it’s been a while. I even want to mop. Please note that I did not mop, but the desire is there đŸ™‚ What did I do? A ton of other stuff. Don’t make me list it all. I’m […]
*+-The Moon is in the early degrees of Aries right now, New York City time, so of course we have, or we’ll get, a conjunction to Uranus, a square to Pluto, a square to Mars, and an opposition to Saturn. Huh. Interesting. Makes me think about the kids born during […]
*+-I’m not from New York, but I live here now. Have lived here since January 2001 and was here on September 11th. I was sick that day, home from work and sitting at the computer (was I really sick? heh heh) and checking email and all of a sudden people […]
*+-We’ve been having a heatwave out here in NewYorkLand, a tropical heatwave. Temperatures rising, it isn’t surprising, you most certainly can Can-Can. Remember that song? I remember Marilyn Monroe singing that song, fan that I am. But back to the heatwave. How’s the weather where you are? Want to talk […]
*+-Do you feel restless during Void of Course Moons? Irritable? Can’t sleep? Is there a Moon tonic we can take for this? Lack of sleep makes me feel awful in every way, and I was on the train the other day wondering whose arms I could crawl into, who would hold […]
*+-The 4th House is our home, and half of the parental axis. The 3rd is our short trips. The 12th is our cloister, who we are when we’re alone. The 1st is our body. Each house in the wheel is a place. Where do you find yourself the most? Can you […]
*+-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, […]
*+-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 […]
