*+-Why am I doing a short course on the Goddess Asteroids? Because I got obsessed while I was giving over my thoughts on VENUS in the Mars and Venus class and it felt complimentary to me – MORE female power to talk about. Especially helpful if your Venus is stressed […]

*+-There’s not a whole lot of flash and trash to my personality. Not a lot of surfacey baubles and jokes. I’m a quiet, serious reflective person, introspective. Always have been, yes since Day One. And I like myself just fine. I have a 1st House Pluto. Depth. Also since Day […]
*+-On the first day of class, I wrote about wanting to go deep with Venus and make discoveries that excite me — partly from rereading the “cookbooks” and rereading the deep astrology writers so that my own thoughts have more substance. Caroline Casey writes about honoring Venus and it got […]
*+-Venus is so damn tricky. Tricky to me. The Venus & Mars class starts today (the one I’m doing with Matthew Currie – and YES you can still join the class, email me for details) and I’m giving myself a fun refresher (perusing my books!) and getting inspired and looking […]
*+-Yes, the New Moon in Cancer may be overshadowed by the good news of Saturn going direct, as well as an unpleasant Venus Chiron aspect HOWEVER if you are a mid-degree Cancer baby, smile smile smile because this one is for you 🙂 By the way, Venus Chiron to me feels […]
*+-Venus questions. I get a lot of Venus questions in my work. Affairs, lonely hearts, obsessions, secrets, true loves, past lives, endings, happy marriages, everything. It all matters. It all has meaning. And it’s not always the big questions, stay or go, that should be answered or asked. There are […]
*+-I was just responding to someone in the comments, someone with a massive amount of Libra in her 1st House( (the Aries house) and I said to her: someone with that much Libra IS going to blow (at some point) because your default is VENUS i.e. making NICE. Mars is […]
*+-Jessica Lange, Taurus, in The Postman Always Rings Twice I never knew how much I responded to other people’s needs — and not my own — until it was pointed out to me, recently. And I wrote about this last week, I think. I need to take one, two, three […]
*+-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 […]
*+-I woke up this morning thinking about love and Venus is in slow, strong, steady Taurus as I write this and this morning I was thinking about how my definition of love has changed over the years but now — it’s that I’m still trying to figure it out and […]
*+-What gives you pride? Is pride always an ego thing? I started thinking about this because I was, well, feeling some pride about something (which I shall keep secret!) and immediately I thought of Leo and the Sun and realized that the thing I was feeling proud of DOES make […]
*+-In the comments, a reader asked how to redeem Venus from the 12th House (for those who have this placement). I gave a short answer and decided to put it here too. It’s when Venus stops longing for something/someone who isn’t THERE. When she chooses reality, real life, over fantasy. Chooses […]
*+-I wanted to use the word pathos but pathos implies pity and it’s not pity that gets inspired in me. It’s feeling. A dramatic arc to his life that I feel. My Venus is in Leo. I don’t always identify with it – the desire for the drama the big […]
*+-I am not a beautiful woman. I am the Invisible Woman. Or it’s that I’m beautiful but no one sees it. Or that I don’t see it. Venus in the 12th House. Yes I know YMMV with such an aspect but this blog post reflects *my* experience. Venus is beauty. The […]
*+-In last night’s blog post about Saturn and love, I ended the post by asking “How’s your love life” and the responses so far (in the comments) have been simple and poignant. Listen, I’ll tell you about my time in the trenches and my Venus is wack okay? I’m NOT […]
*+-My post from this morning was an example of my jacked-up Mars these days. I’m not usually like that. Usually far more subdued. I will miss this transit once it’s gone. Here’s my question for you this Sunday evening (well, Sunday evening where I am) — do you feel you […]
*+-You will be less lonely even though you can’t feel it now. You will be. It’s within your slippery reach. How do I know? I know. I am always trying to understand Pisces better. Wrong approach! Pisces can’t be understood with Virgo-picky-picky-Mind. Pisces is understood through the fins, the gills, […]
*+-People talk (and sing) all the time about falling in love, what that feels like. But how does it feel to you to fall OUT of love? Does it feel yucky icky heartwrenching collapse on the floor in a puddle of your own blood, sweat and sobs? Or do you […]
*+-(The following is the story of a Venus in Leo with a thorn in her paw and how a love nature can be twisted and the rocky road to straightening.) I spent the year in love with someone. And during times of difficulty, struggle, I sought counsel, wisdom, and I usually listened. […]
*+-Our lady Venus is in Virgo these days and, well, what do you think about that? Where’s your Virgo house? Are you beautifying what you find there? The other thing on my mind is insecurity, self-esteem, fun stuff like that. These are also Venus topics. And I thought to myself: […]
*+-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 🙂 What did I do? A ton of other stuff. Don’t make me list it all. I’m […]
*+-Love makes me feel weak. And I’m not saying this is good or bad. Yet. I guess it’s neither. Or either. I just know it makes me feel weak. Vulnerable? That too. Like a fight with my boyfriend renders me dumb, voiceless. Because I realize in those moments after the […]
*+-Yes, I did paraphrase a famous poem in the title of this blog post, but the line occured to me as I was looking for another “jail” metaphor to describe how it feels to be Venus in the 12th House. I never felt the way Dylan Thomas describes in the […]
*+-Probably 🙂 Aries is Mars and Libra is Venus and when Venus is in Aries, it’s, well, acting like a dude! Chasing, hunting, being a warrior. Not behavior fitting a lady. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sexist. But what happens to the man when the woman is doing the […]
