*+-I was finishing up a Tarot reading for someone this morning and starting thinking about fear, my own, and I can’t remember how I… started thinking about it so I decided to look at today’s planets and degrees and see where we’re at. There’s a dark energy, dark mood, moving […]
Chart Reading in Real Life
26 posts
*+-Truth is I can’t remember if I already posted this post. I did a search for the word “shit” and didn’t find it so maybe we’re good š Not long ago a gal who I did a reading for wrote me a beautiful email and I posted it here as […]
*+-Disclaimer: no conclusions drawn here. This is an exploratory post. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. I was talking to a fellow astrologer yesterday and the subject of depression came up. He remarked on the association of Pluto with depression, but I’d always seen it as a […]
*+-This morning, a pal on Twitter asked my opinion about a minor aspect in chart comparison. I was my often cranky self and I told him: sometimes astrologers miss what’s right in front of them. And yeah he did go on to tell me about a Saturn square and a […]
*+-So I wanted to write about love in the natal chart. And I don’t mean finding loveĀ but about the capacity TO love. They say the 5th House is the love you give and the 11th House is the love you receive. What if one is empty and one is full? […]
*+-It’s amazing to me how accurate astrology can be. I was doing a reading for my sister… I had sent her a couple of emails and then last night we finally spoke and by transit she is having two Uranus trinesĀ (involving Jupiter and her Sun) and the longer we talked, […]
*+-Do you ever wonder about the accuracy of your birth time? I have a birth certificate birth time but once upon a time had a face-to-face reading with an astrologer who wondered if I were Leo Rising and not Virgo RisingĀ (she based this on my presence/appearance) and then last night […]
*+-A couple people have asked me this recently. The answer is that I took a class in the city, a drop-in class, for some years. I also taped it and would listen to the tapes. That’s where I got my nuts and bolts. I loved the teacher, loved the way […]
*+-So I was talking to my boyfriend and I was remembering that my natal Uranus trines his Venus, exact I think. And I said to him, “Venus trine Uranus! Your love shocks me.” It’s a good shock though. It’s a trine. But a shock all the same. Shockingly good. Shockingly […]
*+-What has to happen before you make a much needed change in your life? How much pain do you need to be in? I think you do need to be in pain to save yourself from a seemingly intractable problem or at least begin the soul-aching process. Otherwise, you’d just […]
*+-I was preparing my second cup of coffee this morning and delighting in the sound of the birds from outside. I started thinking about the 12th House and wondering if 12th House people need quiet and solitude more than others. What do you think?
*+-I hope you are enjoying the eclipse season so far š I wish you only good news, good revelation, and that any difficulty is smoothly resolved. In the Jewish tradition, there’s a prayer, a plea, a blessing for just about everything. Before eating, after eating, upon waking, before sleep… There’s […]
*+-Good Morning, Stargazers! I couldn’t sleep at all last night and am hoping this post isn’t riddled with typos that I’ll have to fix after my second cup of coffee. I’d love to blame the Scorpio Moon. Or Saturn going direct. Or the Full Moon eclipse on Wednesday. Take your […]
*+-When I was a student at Iowa, I studied with a number of famous poets. This was a long time ago. I was in my early 20s. And although I was mostly depressed and immersed in unsuccessful love affairs, I loved being there. I loved that all of us were […]
*+-Got your attention? Taurus loves food, and Jupiter loves… large. My jolly Jupiterean boyfriend has a heart as big as his… positive attitude! So what will Jupiter in Taurus bring him? Will it slow him down? Steady him? Money him? Will he start getting man-icures? Remember, Taurus is Venus is […]
*+-Jupiter is at 1 degree Taurus! I don’t know why I think this is so awesome this morning, but I do. Just tracking it all. Good things to come, good things š Jupiter, the planet of good luck and good feeling spreading out, settling down for his stay with the […]
*+-What is the difference between compulsion and discipline? If someone writes everyday, are they obsessed? Or just working hard? Saturn disciplines. Pluto obsesses. When these two lovebirds meet up, in hard aspect in the sky or in your chart, the energy is not, sigh, easy.
*+-I’m a long time Grey’s Anatomy fan and I wrote a post once, imagining the signs of the characters. Now, celebrities don’t interest me, but characters do, and I was shocked to hear (last week while doing my laundry) that McDreamy is leaving the show!
*+-This morning my cat Goldy woke me up. He was yowling at the foot of my bed. It was a feed-me yowl. Goldy is my one boy cat, a Libra, but he made me think of Gemini Season, Gemini being the sign of the chatty. This one-way chat had a […]
*+-The outer planets creep and the outer planets creep and the outer planets creep. It’s soooo quiet. I look at the listing for the “current sky,” noticing Pluto at 6 degrees Capricorn, Retrograde, wondering when he’ll FINALLY cross over into my 5th House. I can never recall my cusp lines […]
*+-This morning I made friends with someone’s chart. I am very Virgo about it all (Virgo Rising, Moon Pluto, South Node). I take notes and I take notes on my notes. And if some days pass before I speak to the person? I review. And then I see new things. […]
*+-Of the Sun and the Moon, which is more important? What is the background of a person and what is the essence? Where do we find the soul? At the moment I’m thinking of the Sun sign as your cosmic wallpaper and the Moon as your… Damn. I’m trying to […]
*+-Remember April? Remember that wacky Aries stellium? Wasn’t that long ago. It was an 8th House transit for me, squaring my natal Cancer planets and to make a long story short, I thought about sex all the time, I mean ALL THE TIME. And, truth is, I’m kinda glad the […]
*+-So the other day I did a reading for someone with Scorpio planets, a deeply spiritual person. I mean: the Real Deal. Jupiter trine Neptune in the birth chart. Neptune in the 6th House. Real compassion, real caring, real… desire.
