*+-So eclipse season has come and gone, eh? Au contraire, my little kittens! The eclipses set up an ENERGY PATTERN (yes, it needs to be in all caps) for a full year. You won’t know the spoils of this war until, possibly, the very end (September-ish 2026). Yes, yes, the […]

*+-This post is from my Substack So I made a visit to an herbalist to talk about my health, and I’ve started to brew teas made of dried leaf (or maybe bark or maybe flower—can’t remember now) and I’m realizing that I haven’t touched the plant matter with my fingers. […]
*+-I was trying to work on my YouTube channel. Got myself a gimbal and a mic and was having technical difficulties (hello Mercury retrograde) and was washing the dishes when I thought to myself: I’m not a YouTuber. I’m a writer. I’m a writer who realized she was pretty intuitive/psychic […]
*+-Oh Mercury Retrograde, what are we to do with you? The astrologers guide us thusly: It’s a time to review and possibly to redo. Don’t sign a contract. Double check your travel plans. I bought an air fryer and regret it already. I knew better! But I want to show […]
*+-This post is from my Substack “I want to become an expert in what was shattered.” That quote above – and I didn’t quote the whole sentence — is from Jeffrey Rubin’s new book, Psychotherapy Case Studies: Escaping the Prison You Didn’t Know You Were In. I started reading it […]
*+-Routines, health, homework, housework, purity. These are some Virgo keywords. There are many Virgo keywords. Sometimes, but not always, when I talk to the Virgo people, they ask about health. They ask about work. But what’s underneath it all is purity, that which is, or is not, clean. Clean meaning… […]
*+-Catching up: One more. We’ve got one more big change on the way: Uranus entering Gemini on July 7th. All my recent blogs posts have mostly been lists of slow moving planets in new signs. Hard to wrap my mind around it all. I’ve been blogging since 2011. Everything is […]
*+-I realize I haven’t blogged in FOREVER and I’m sick of my writing voice. I’m working on book edits. Maybe being here, with you, blogging, will free me up, will make me feel free. Here’s what I know: the less social media you consume the better but keep reading (books!) […]
*+-I know I can’t speak for everyone for all time but I feel we FORGET Neptune which makes sense because the first thing I ever learned about Neptune was what my astrology teacher told us all those years ago: illusion, delusion, confusion. And there might have been another ION word […]
*+-Pluto in Aquarius is a brand new transit for us all. We’re just getting to know it, like a new friend. Can you make it nice and light like that? I went for a walk the other day with a new friend by the water and in the wind. Pluto […]
*+-It’s uncanny. It’s all uncanny. A morning like any other. School’s out for two weeks and I decided to do an early morning load of laundry. Paid a few bills. Had coffee, breakfast. Got word that I had an open spot for a new (or returning) Tarot student. Can’t remember […]
*+-If you look up Neptune transit to the Eighth House you tend to see the same things over and over. Internet searches have their limits of course. Neptune, however, has none. Boundaries dissolve. Here I am likely beginning a new career path (maybe, maybe) a very Eighth House one, so […]
*+-I woke up with a dream about getting stuck in an elevator and the odd thing was that I woke up in a good mood. When is an anxiety dream not an anxiety dream? We were rescued by dream’s end and I wasn’t stuck in the elevator alone. I’m still […]
*+-It’s been an intense few weeks. It feels like a thousand lifetimes and at the same time it feels like things are finally settling down. What was that shamanic initiation that had to happen and why? An intense whirlwind, about a month in duration, a process of dismemberment and integration. […]
*+-It’s all so unprecedented. It’s hard to give advice. I say one thing and then the opposite becomes true and then it flips again. What does this mean? It means… if you find yourself at a loss you’re not doing it wrong. You will figure it out. You’ll (eventually) intuit […]
*+-I woke up at 3am with a SPLITTING HEADACHE, a stabbing pain. A friend of mine reminded me that Mars is currently on my Sun (and I have this aspect in my natal). I was saying to her: SATURN IS OPPOSING MY MOON and blah blah blah Pluto blah blah […]
*+-Today was the day I discovered the true meaning of the NORTH NODE IN PISCES (all caps on purpose) which is also my North Node. We are having our Nodal Return. It’s time for us to finally understand the lessons and the techniques and whatever it is we need to […]
*+-You’re gonna hear people say their structures are falling, they’re collapsing, falling though space, an atomization of the spirit, the self. I’m thinking about a paper by psychoanalyst Esther Bick. This line: “This mother too has lost her spacesuit.” This is what the eclipses may feel like to you, to […]
*+-That feeling that Jupiter is the cosmic Santa Claus. I remember learning in astrology class many years ago that “Jupiter expands what it touches,” and this was usually presented in a good light although my teacher was quick to say that “too much of a good thing” or “too much” […]
*+-What is it that will come out of left field? This Full Moon is square Uranus. Who will surprise you? Who will be surprised? Questions without answers. Yet. It’s *just* a Full Moon. It’s not the beginning or the end. But Eclipse Season is coming. Mercury retrograde is coming and […]
*+-So I guess I will keep blogging. I should keep blogging. Maintaining a blog is the old world. Today I was thinking about Facebook. I was thinking about the older social media platforms used to be ways of connection for me. I found friends and clients. Now it’s all… dismembered. […]
*+-People like to read about the hard transits. I always wrote about them. I don’t think I ever got over Uranus and Pluto squaring/opposing my Sun at the same time. My life IS the shape of the Uranus Pluto square from all those years ago. So now what? Pluto is […]
*+-Ain’t nothing wrong with a can of sugar-free whipped cream. It might be exactly what you need (talking to the sugar-free crowd here). Mars is (retrograde) in Cancer after all. You will submit to your weird craving. Today I found myself in a familiar spot. I remember a couple years […]
*+-Let us not forget about Sedna, currently at zero Gemini. Is she like the Fool card from the Tarot, eternally zero? Slow mover Sedna. Yesterday I was writing on the Substack that my time at the institute has been like a dream of dismemberment and how dreams of dismemberment aren’t […]
