*+-I feel like I’m at the edge of the world. It’s so quiet here sometimes. It’s so quiet that I can hear the trash blow down the street. But this quiet is because it’s Shabbos, and I live among religious Jews, and I am not so religious, but somewhat religious. […]

*+-Think of Pisces as a cloud. Think of Pisces, ruled by Neptune, as chaos, no boundaries, no limits, too much freedom, too much liberty. You can see, my friends, how this could be bad, how this could go very very wrong. We need rules. What if there were no stop […]
*+-I feel it and I know you feel it. Probably the most important month of the year. I just finished lunch and I’ve got class in an hour and THIS WEEK. It’s all I can think about: this month, this week, and how I’m gonna keep doing what I’ve always […]
*+-So Rachel Pollack is not well and I don’t know the latest. I don’t know if she’s “here” or “there” or neither. I never met her in person but had a couple of readings from her over the years (actually one reading and one Celtic Cross lesson). I think this […]
*+-Yesterday my tooth hurt. Sometimes I get a little nerve pain from an accident a few months ago which caused some little fractures. My amazing dentist recommended a watch and wait approach and it’s been the right one, but occasionally if I eat the wrong thing, it’ll hurt for a […]
*+-Saturn symbolizes death in astrology (among other things), but the truth is all the planets do, and yes some more obviously than others, and Saturn changes signs today, and I’m thinking about death and loss and grief and myth. I’m thinking about myth. I never think about myth even though I’m […]
*+-I’m thinking a lot about anger and decisions. Mars is in Gemini. We don’t know what we want exactly. We don’t know what we want, inexactly. But we yearn and our ambition is pushing us somewhere, but where. I don’t want to quit but I am wondering if the institute […]
*+-Time is a bastard and we all get robbed. I’m only six months in to my analysis, and I’m ready to talk about things that I’ve never talked about before. I don’t mean the usual old traumas seen in new ways (or the usual ways) but new thoughts about my present […]
*+-Some thoughts on how I teach Tarot: When I started teaching Tarot again, it had been a while. The last time I think was… 2016. I’d been holding little Tarot (or astrology or creativity) groups/classes on Facebook over the years, but one-one-one Tarot teaching was more sporadic until recently. I […]
*+-Already I’m thinking about this month’s New Moon in Pisces. February 19th. We have a Venus Pluto link on that day (a good one) and Venus enters Aries. Fireworks in a thunderstorm are still fireworks, right? Pisces Season with Venus in Aries. I’m sure you know one or two of them […]
*+-What is moderation anyway? Well, we do have a Temperance card. The Tarot gods created a Temperance card. And a Devil card. There’s a card for everyone and everything if you look close enough. But I was thinking about this topic — moderation — as I started to ponder my […]
*+-When Saturn is in Pisces, we keep trying to structure God and then we realize it can’t be done. We keep trying to control God and, no, it can’t be done. He keeps slipping out. He’s near and then far. Far and then near. And yet we need, must learn, […]
*+-My analyst acts like we have all the time in the world. I don’t know how old he is, but he’s older than me. Today I asked him what something meant. “Symbolically,” I said. What does it mean symbolically? And as I sit here typing to you I can’t remember […]
*+-I listened to the same music over and over when I was writing my memoir (and yes I am still agent-hunting). When I listen to that music now, it takes me back to how I felt when I was writing it: intensity, hunger, longing. But the book is funny — […]
*+-I don’t even know what to say anymore about Mars going direct. I can hardly believe it. After all this time. It’s happening this Thursday and it’s been so many months and Mars still needs to go through almost all of Gemini again but… This was a big one. I […]
*+-I see my Pluto so clearly now and I have a feeling it’s only going to get more clear, which scares me a little. It’s exciting too. To get to know oneself. It’s a deep process. Make no mistake. I used to think I knew my Pluto, could see my […]
*+-So I just got off the phone with one of my Tarot people. I teach Tarot one on one (old school!) and for special students only meaning that… it has to be just right. They have to be the right student for me and I’m the right teacher for them […]
*+-The transit of the moment. The least you need to know. News you can use! You may already be feeeeeeeeeling it. I AM FEELING IT. Break out the fireworks, my friends. Here we go. MARS GOES DIRECT THIS WEEK. Thursday! Today I did a long rambling storytime audio for Patrons […]
*+-You have to understand (I say to my analyst): I’ve been out of circulation for a long time. What I mean is: not just Covid. Not just pandemic time. I mean, I’ve been self-employed for decades and that’s how I like it. I was a pet sitter (working totally alone […]
*+-You’ve really got to think about your life these days. Today I started to think about everything that happened in my life while Pluto was in Capricorn. Me and my friend Laura were sharing lists of major events. She had hard and “easy” aspects from Pluto too. My entire astrology […]
*+-Pluto comes to change you. Pluto comes to change us all. Listen, I’ve been through Pluto opposing my Sun, my Mercury, my Mars. I was born under a Moon Pluto conjunction (in my First House). You know what Pluto does? Pluto gives you depth you didn’t want. Now, the details […]
