*+-I took the day off today because today was acupuncture day and I was also trying out a new practitioner. I’m still a bit dreamy-feeling and it’s been… about 5 hours. That’s how I felt the first time I saw Mr. Lee. While I was on the train I remembered […]

*+-And it won’t just be the Moon. It will be the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn! Saturn in Scorpio fortifies by sextile. Please take a moment. Stop what you’re doing and take a moment because that’s a big BIG helping of Saturn, of Capricorn, in one (or possibly two) houses […]
*+-When does class begin? January 21st and we’ll wrap things up 1st weekend in February. The cost is $25. Who is this class for? For anyone interested in beginning a Meditation Practice or for those whose discipline is wavering 🙂 Why meditate? You either already know or can Google the […]
*+-I have a wild side. I know what you’re thinking… and that’s *not* what I mean by wild. My natal Uranus is unaspected (except for a much needed trine to my MC). And my Mercury Mars squares Jupiter. When it’s time to go? I go. Mercury Mars square Jupiter: no […]
*+-Here’s one version of enlightenment: you get to the point where… you just can’t live in fear anymore. You can’t. Your entire body rebels against it. The old you is married to the old way. But the new you is… already somewhere else. It may start as a feeling. Or […]
*+-Your Venus has needs. It’s not just the Moon who needs. This topic is on my mind because I was about to start a thread on the message board but wanted to share here too. It took me a long time to make sense of my Venus in Leo. She’s […]
*+-Sunday evening in the Big City. I had to leave the house just now… to buy chocolate. It’s like that sometimes 🙂 Today in the comments, one of my readers said I’m reminding her of a late night talk radio host, which I take as a compliment 🙂 I’ve thought […]
*+-I was running my errands this morning and ran into an old acquaintance. She’s not homeless or itinerant but she is… I don’t know what to call it. She’s part of the community but not really all there. I don’t think she works. She has a sweet nature, chain smokes, […]
*+-Mars squares Saturn tomorrow in fixed (stubborn) signs, January 7th, and I just posted on the message board: roadblocked? Or fork in the road? Does it matter? With Mars square Saturn, you can’t move either way. Mars and Saturn in hard aspect is resistance. An immoveable force. Don’t push it. […]
*+-Another approach to the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn is *not* to set an intention at all but just to notice what is there. I’ve written a few posts about the New Moon in Capricorn already. Sometimes to examine the aspects that day. Sometimes to give my advice for “intention setting.” […]
*+-I know, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve posted this much in a single day. Enjoy it while it lasts, bitches! But seriously 🙂 A gal on the message board was just asking if any of us had an altar or shrine and I used to have one […]
*+-The other day I got a visit from the High Priestess, reversed. My gentle reader told me this referred to action. Whereas the High Priestess (upright) can signify a time of waiting or “non-doing,” the reversed-ness here was showing a more direct and conscious approach to the matter at hand. […]
*+-I had a Tarot reading the other day and the Queen of Pentacles showed up twice, upright, for two questions similar in nature. This is a good thing, but I wanted to know more. Rachel Pollack is my favorite Tarot person and she has this to say (from her book […]
*+-When the New Moons roll around, I always wonder what to write about. The subject of “setting intentions.” Easy to look at the aspects that day and tell a story. But what can push us deeper in to the experience so that we wake up transformed. As though the day […]
*+-Saturn in Scorpio. It’s about rape, isn’t it? This blog is not a current events astrology blog but more philosophical, metaphysical. And yet the mind boggling and it seems unending announcements of brutality in the news, that which is unspeakable… needs to be spoken even though there are no words. […]
*+-Whenever I get a Tarot reading, I always get a message about sleep. How’s my sleep. I need to sleep more. Sleep sleep sleep. Sometimes I think I’m catching a cold and my head is fuzzy and more often then not it’s sleep that I need. Not tylenol or even warm […]
*+-A transit I neglected to mention in this morning’s blog post: Mercury in Capricorn sextile Chiron in Pisces. It’s worth mentioning (even though this transit has passed) because Chiron needs all the help he can get 😉 And I’m not sure I can educate you anything special this morning on […]
*+-This morning’s Grand Trine in Air signs is active now on the East Coast: Moon in Libra, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Gemini. If you’ve been up a while, I wonder what you’re feeling. Or *thinking* as the case may be. Observing. I was tweeting about this last night, how […]
*+-It was feeling like an astrological no man’s land to me so I decided to take a deeper look at the weekend stars. The most interesting aspects: Thursday morning, Mercury in Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries which means you may be feeling this square now. We are IN ORB, people! What […]
*+-I haven’t done a Tarot blog post in a while and I want to give you some encouragement 🙂 I say this realizing that I want to pull cards for the New Moon in Capricorn happening January 11th. 2013! New Moons are the dark times, chosen for planning, hoping, wishing, […]
*+-Sometimes I follow rules and tradition and sometimes I don’t 🙂 I was reminded the other day that the upcoming Chinese New Year is the Year of the Snake and I was up in the middle of the night for a hour-ish and the thought came to me that for […]
