*+-Let’s talk upcoming transits. Transits are where the planets are now and how they affect us. You may think I don’t want to waste my time in this Neptune sea, but I recommend you waste your time in this Neptune sea. You want to be psychic? Want to “improve your intuition?” […]

*+-Sagittarius is the storyteller. They don’t stop talking. And I don’t mean this in a mean or critical way. I’ve always had Sagittarius in my life, especially women. I love them. My favorite priest is a Sagittarius. Even the friendly and fierce manager of my favorite coffee shop is a […]
*+-I want to tell you what to do for Scorpio Season without giving you an insipid list of tips and tricks or tell you that the veil is thinning even though the veil is indeed thinning. It’s more like a wall for most people. A WALL. And now even necromancy […]
*+-When a saint calls to you, I think you should listen. You don’t have to commit. But you should listen. No matter the saint or spirit. At least acknowledge it is happening. That’s what happened to me. Here’s Part One. I saw her face and that was it. The Sun […]
*+-So basically I had a year long love affair with Santa Muerte and I didn’t talk about it. I didn’t tell anyone. But she called me. The first time I saw her, ever, it was love. I wanted to know her. If you don’t know who she is, then just […]
*+-Season of the Dead: when folks start talking about “the veil” and the veil becoming thin — that whatever separates us (here, now, earthly, reading this blog!) from them (THE DEAD), that whatever separates us… stops. And we can reach through. SEE through. A longtime reader of the blog (her name […]
*+-Wherever I go, I crawl into a little room. Makes sense to me astrologically. I’m a Cancer Sun, Mercury, and Mars. Venus in the 12th House. Got my shell, got my hidden place. I’m thinking about space this morning. The space I live in. And thinking about making space sacred. […]
*+-I didn’t write about my mother on her birthday, which was November 12th. But I started thinking about her a moment ago. How she was worried I was lonely. She always wanted me to have “company.” I am thinking of a conversation I had with her, I was in my […]
*+-Sun in Scorpio. Saturn in Scorpio. The transiting Node in Scorpio. Mercury will retrograde back into Scorpio. Neptune in Pisces is trining Scorpio. And the Solar Eclipse New Moon on the 13th will be in Scorpio. There is no escape. You are supposed to… stop lying to yourself. Stop pretending […]
*+-I’m under the weather today, but wanted to get another word or two in here and I had this thought: That whatever that thing is that you think you want, that you know you want, that you do not have, or think you do not have, how you are already […]
*+-Is my heart asleep? I can imagine loving. I do love. But I can’t imagine being IN love again, falling in love. Having *that* feeling. My heart is asleep. That’s what I wrote last night. And then I spoke to my old Scorpio friend last night. He and I have […]
*+-Well, actually we do have secrets 🙂 I mean, Scorpios do. Scorpio Season does. Like clockwork, I get off the train, the phone rings, I wonder who it is. I know who it’s not. And who it is is a Scorpio. From what I remember: Sun, Neptune, Venus, Jupiter in […]
*+-As the Sun reaches the higher degrees of Libra and prepares itself to descend into the depth of Scorpio, it behooves us all to once again review the lessons of Saturn in Libra and the current Libra season: What was lost, what was gained, what you want, where you are, […]
*+-Leaving can be good or bad or neutral. It depends on the context. Here’s one example: when you stop dreaming of him (or her) then you know it’s Really Over. When he (or she) stops coming to you in your dreams. When you spend hours *not* thinking of him (or […]
*+-The Sun is still in Scorpio but I feel like Sagittarius is taking over. Is it just me? I was writing about the New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign and just now about Mercury Retrograde. Everywhere you turn there shall be archers and half men/half beasts leaping leaping leaping […]
*+-A few months ago, an old friend sent me a coffee maker. I’d never had a grown-up coffee maker before although I did have one of those little silvery colored espresso makers for Cuban coffee. Well I realize that I love taking the old, used coffee filter out of the […]
*+-Why does everything take so long? I mean a lifetime and shit. Why is that? Fate? The chart? Free will and bad habits? Venus and Mercury in Sagittarius make me think of freedom and how we free ourselves from blocks and fears (hello Saturn). I had lunch today with a friend […]
*+-(Please visit my previous post because this is Part 2.) So during Scorpio Season you may need to say goodbye to something or someone but don’t forget that after the death comes… new life, new forms, new beginnings (as opposed to old beginnings?? Huh?) Here’s an example, and I know […]
*+-The Sun is still in Scorpio. It’s still the Season of the Dead. I feel it all around me. My mother’s birthday is coming up. A picture in my phone of my doggy friend who died this summer. Other losses. So what if Mercury and Venus have entered Jupiter’s sign. […]
*+-So I just finished editing the Planetary Round-Up for the coming week, my new feature on the blog. I wound up dividing it into sections: highlights, important aspects, how to work with the energy, this week’s visualization, this week’s ritual, tips for nurturing, and a thought for the week (like an affirmation […]
*+-What do you do when uncomfortable feelings come to meet you? Feelings that you don’t want to feel. I have never felt Scorpio Season this strongly. Haven’t felt this introspective in a while. Maybe I haven’t had the time. Nothing could get through. I have Moon in Virgo and tend […]
*+-The Sun today is at 5 degrees Scorpio. Question: what ritual did you perform to enter Scorpio Season? What offering did you leave at Pluto’s altar? It’s not too late, you know. Remember that a ritual is something physical, tangible, suffused with an idea, thought, intention. Your intention, your thought, […]
*+-I haven’t been writing about my life so much lately, and I think this is because there’s not much going on. Well, there are shifts but they are more internal, behind the scenes: very Scorpio Season, right? It could also be because I am BORING. And there’s just not much […]
