*+-Do you feel stuck? Keep pushing through these days, hard as it is. Make a list. That’s what I do. I make lists of my lists. Taurus vibration is slow-moving and solid. Good luck getting one out of his chair or his rut, unless he also wants to, and even then. […]
Taurus
*+-I’m in the middle of a Facebook conversation with my buddy Anita about exercise and crying 🙂 This topic came up because she’s a dancer (among other cool things) and I’m on a crusade to prevent diabetes, and somehow we got to talking about fitness and health one day. I […]
*+-I love the way Howard Sasportas describes the Second House: “…not only what we value, but what we hope to gain in life.” We are ALL having 2nd House transits these days because it is Taurus Season (Taurus Season opposing Saturn in Scorpio!) and you may be feeling the crunch […]
*+-Some lives never feel settled. Always at a crossroads. Something else, something more, to figure out. A new problem. A new discovery. A new love. Is your life like this? Or are you “figured out.” Dug in. This has absolutely *not* been a typical Taurus Season. Saturn is in Scorpio and […]
*+-Fitness gurus are my heroes these days, as much as my beloved spiritual teachers and then I realize that my fitness gurus ARE spiritual teachers too. I was reading a Jillian Michaels book on the train: “…it’s okay to struggle. So often we feel shame when we struggle, as though […]
*+-I was lying on the floor after exercise. Which was after scooping up a dead water bug (thank you cats for your killing prowess). Which was after having a little coffee and a little oatmeal for fuel. I stretched and caught my breath and lay down on the floor, half […]
*+-I have some memories that are buried. I don’t mean traumatic ones. Got those too, but that’s not what I mean and those aren’t buried. They dance around like the skeleton bones that they are. What I mean is… when I don’t have the time, space, energy to process my […]
*+-Where is Taurus Season for you? In what house (of your chart) primarily? I love the in between places: airports, filling stations, convenience stores… places where people are en route, not staying, not forever, in progress. The traveler. Taurus Season means 9th House for me and I don’t have any […]
*+-So today’s Full Moon Eclipse is the big news but don’t forget tomorrow’s Mars Neptune sextile. What is Mars? Mars is where you put your effort. What drives you. Your Passion, aggression, desire, violence. What makes you mad. What turns you on. Neptune is a dreamy and vague energy, the […]
*+-I learned something today. We are in the Hebrew month of Iyar and that Iyar is a “month of healing” and all we have to do is allow it. A friend of mine told me this at lunch today. She heard it from one of her teachers. Felt right. A […]
*+-It’s a juicy week ahead and you might be wondering why on earth I am feeling this way since we start the week off with the Moon still in fussy Virgo. Well, Mercury will square Pluto on the 21st (Sunday) which possibly isn’t the cocktail you are looking for but […]
*+-Body issues, body image, is a topic near and dear to my heart. Food too. And tomorrow the Sun enters Taurus and y’all know Taurus enjoys a good meal and dessert too 🙂 So here’s my Taurus Season advice: EAT. And you can take “eat” as a metaphor. Maybe it’s […]
*+-Was telling the girls in the room (and our one boy) how happy I am that it’s gloomy today. Cloudy, gloomy. Did I mention gloomy? No guilt for staying in. Turn up the music, get to work. The Moon’s in Leo. Have fun whatever you do 🙂 ** Goodbye Aries […]
*+-I get all excited when the astrological “seasons” change. Only Venus has entered Taurus so far, but Mars and the Sun aren’t far behind. Taurus keyword: I have. Taurus ruler: Venus. Taurus element: earth. Taurus quality: fixed. Taurus House: 2nd. When I think of Taurus, I think of the body, […]
*+-Taurus is said to be a sensual sign so during Taurus Season can you discover/rediscover this part of yourself? How? What do you need? What will you do differently? Can you slow down? How do you interpret Taurus? Sensual not sexual is how a Taurus friend used to describe herself. […]
*+-Scorpios are in for an interesting ride upcoming. Planets are beginning to transit Taurus this week (starting with Venus) and the stinger gets opposed, knocked off balance. And not only that but transiting Saturn gets opposed as does the North Node, all by Taurus the bull. She’s so possessive and […]
*+-Venus enters Taurus April 15th. The Sun enters Taurus April 19th. We can slow down now. Well, we will slow down. Mars enters Taurus April 20th. What did you dream during Pisces Season? What did you begin (or continue) during Aries Season. Are you ready to stop? Just a little? […]
*+-Mercury goes direct on Sunday, March 17th. What have you experienced? What have you noticed? The more orthodox among us may wait (to feel better, to buy a new cell phone) until Mercury is out of his “shadow” but I think you’ll feel the light go on right away, […]
*+-A friend of mine once told me (sigh) that I didn’t have enough SEX on my blog and writing about 50 Shades of Grey this morning has got me thinking about it. Not that I need or want my blog to be SEXY. That’s not my thing. But that I […]
“Give the Universe a chance to find the solution to your so-called problem.” – Louise Hay *** A friend just wrote me, happy that I reminded her about Mercury in Cancer. Said she’s been on the verge of tears since yesterday. I know that feeling. It’s like… almost sneezing. I like […]
*+-I tend to listen to songs obsessively, especially when I’m writing. Lately I’m hooked on a handful of songs from the band Over the Rhine. I know absolutely nothing about this band. I was probably listening to a “similar artist” on Spotify or Pandora and that’s how I find my […]
You do not find insight by searching for it. Or do you? Have you? *** Today I went to the water which is ironic because the other day I was counseling someone to go to the water so she could externalize her grief. That the mourning process, grieving, is like […]
I’m going on a trip today. Not far, but far enough 😉 Just an hour or two. And I’m not telling where until I return. Then I shall share all. Maybe… *** Taurus is my 9th House which is, among other things, travel! Sagittarius’ natural house: perspective, belief, and I […]
*+-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 🙂 Mercury entered Taurus today and I […]
