*+-Can a Cancer Sun find happiness with a Sagittarius Sun? I’m an introvert. Needs solitude. Needs time and space to process feelings. Need acceptance of WHO I AM, especially these qualities. Can’t be around someone who wants to force me out of my shell on those “interior days” and gosh […]

*+-A short play for your blog post: Scene One: The idea that synastry shows us just the topmost layer of a relationship and to get to the good stuff, you have to go underneath the synastry, which means go deeper into the relationship towards true understanding: who IS this person […]
*+-Sometimes I think Synastry is irrelevant. Synastry to put it simply is comparing two (or more!) birth charts. And the idea that you can have great synastry with someone and the relationship can still fail. I hate that. But I understand why we look and why we need to understand and […]
*+-You know what squares in synastry are? They are misunderstandings. And misunderstandings can be understood! Once you really get a sense of the planet in the sign that’s squaring yours… it becomes less painful. Trust me on this. It’s a lesson I just learned and it rings so damn true. […]
*+-Okay, in the Creativity class going on now, I told the gals this: “Your life is the frame and the painting. You really do have a say. About both of them. You can work together with fate. That is magic.” And I believe it. Do you? I want them to feel […]
*+-From November 2011. Sometimes a relationship is over, or nearly over, and the client (I hate that word client — I need a new word) wants the synastry, the chart comparison done and I always say sure, it’s up to you. But in the back of my mind, or the […]
*+-Part One is here! This is just a fragment that I posted on Facebook, but wanted to put it on the blog too: The quirky thing is that some folks have no clue about BDSM (and I mean in a real way, not in a cartoon way) and yet they […]
*+-I have’t read 50 Shades of Grey and I don’t know if I’m going to, but I do know a thing or too about dominant and submissive relationships. I understand the mindset very well. Thought it was “me” for a short time. Had a few relationships along those lines. Unsatisfying ones. […]
*+-Sometimes one sentence can inspire a blog post and I was on the train, reading an Astrology book of course, reading about Oppositions and Squares because I always seek a new way to understand or think about “the basics” which really aren’t so basic. Here’s my theory: a person with […]
*+-Moon Pluto people (and define that however you like 🙂 it can be a metaphor for anyone, no matter their chart) tend to get overly Emotionally Intense in romantic relationships when they don’t feel IT coming back to them. What is IT? Energy, emotion, passion, attention… in an obvious way. Cool […]
*+-I used to be more of a skeptic. I have a Virgo South Node. I think (Virgo) that I’m supposed to be less of a skeptic! Clients sometimes ask about the “fatedness” of their relationships and I do have a philosophy that there are “free-will” relationships and there are “fated” ones. That […]
*+-I write about my obsessions. Maybe not all writers do. Maybe some astrology bloggers are better at being fair. But not me. I write about my obsessions. And I’m obsessed, still, with the Cancer/Sagittarius combo. Do I have this in my chart? Well, Jupiter rules my 4th House which is […]
*+-I was going to write a Part Two to my Sex And The Opposition post but there really wasn’t more to say. We worked it out. We always do. Ever have a relationship like that? That you are given more than your share of opportunities to end it and it […]
*+-Sometimes I am pretty sure that I understand my cats (and they are very chatty cats) way better than a certain person in my life. I understand each meow (and there are many different meows and other sounds as any cat person can tell you). I know what the gestures […]
*+-I am working with a client who is Pisces Rising and has a serious boyfriend with some Serious Virgo Energy and I was emailing her about how I thought his Virgo energy was working (or *not* working) in her life and probably driving her batshit crazy at times. And I […]
*+-(Re-posting this in honor of the Sun in Sagittarius) Because it’s such a harsh sky out there, and because we’re all under it, I decided to try to write something light. And then couldn’t think of anything. So instead I’ll write about my love life 😉 My boyfriend is a Sagittarius with […]
*+-Sometimes a relationship is over, or nearly over, and the client (I hate that word client — I need a new word) wants the synastry, the chart comparison done and I always say sure, it’s up to you. But in the back of my mind, or the front of mind, […]
*+-No time to blog today so here is another repost… Relationships always bring you back to yourself… in maddening ways, but ultimately good, transformative, 8th House ways. Understand this: Moon Pluto people are always struggling in their intimacy. Wrestling with themselves. They are too intense, too domineering, they give too much, or they withhold. They […]
*+-I was deleting old messages from my phone and found this. It’s possible I’ve already, um, posted this but some things bear repeating. Whether this is one of those things, I’m not sure 😉 More about Moon Pluto People in relationship: I used to project my Emotional Intensity. I used […]
*+-Opal in the comments inspired this post. She was talking about my Synastry blog post this morning that was talking about how some people, more sensitive ones, will get exhausted by too many hard aspects in synastry and a more detatched type may have more stamina for this. Read the […]
*+-A gal on Twitter was asking about squares and oppositions in Synastry. She’s feeling bummed out about all the “doom and gloom” type predictions. My honest opinion? Too many squares and oppositions? It won’t work. Unless you are a masochist. That much misunderstanding, and I think that’s what too many […]
*+-I can’t seem to find the words today which of course makes me want to blame Saturn squaring my Sun which pulls in my Mercury as well, although not in orb yet. A Saturn Mercury square may… make one… hesitate… in speaking. Or writing. Or doing. If Mercury is fast, […]
*+-Sometimes I think (says Virgo Moon) that to love is to choose. It’s rational, says big bear Saturn. You wake up one day and choose. Decide. Today is The Day that I commit to love. And then Neptune says: I fall I fall I fall I fall oops whoops I […]
*+-This morning, a pal on Twitter asked my opinion about a minor aspect in chart comparison. I was my often cranky self and I told him: sometimes astrologers miss what’s right in front of them. And yeah he did go on to tell me about a Saturn square and a […]
