*+-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 […]
*+-Ah my current obsession. THE NORTH NODE IS NOW IN PISCES. I feel like I can really let down my hair here, on the “old blog.” As opposed to the new blog or the Substack or even the newsletter or whatever but HERE on MOON PLUTO ASTROLOGY I can say […]
*+-From the new newsletter I haven’t been blogging much these days. In terms of “content” I’ve been trying to grow my YouTube channel (including Tarot of the Day videos), but this morning I woke up thinking I needed to blog about the North Node entering Pisces (today!) so I thought […]
*+-As I type to you, drones flying above New Jersey is our headline news. The semester is just about over. I have two more classes. And everyone has their eye on NEXT YEAR. So many planets changing signs. I’m watching it all, just like you are, and doing my best […]
*+-I was writing about Mars retrograde today in the newsletter. Here’s an excerpt: A Mars retrograde carries many of the same keywords as a Mercury retrograde: review, redo, renew. This doesn’t mean that you can’t launch something or move forward, but you’ll be doing it a little differently. You may […]
*+-PLUTO STORIES I interviewed my Gemini friend Laura on YouTube about her LONG LONG Pluto through the First House transit (and it’s not over yet). Part One Part Two My interview with author and painter Harold Roth (he writes a lot about Jewish Magic) These YouTube forays are experiments but […]
*+-I haven’t blogged in forever. I handed in the first draft of my new book on November 1st. Yesterday was my mother’s birthday, November 12th. Today is… I don’t know what today is. But I just did this homework assignment for school, a writing assignment, and it felt good but […]
