*+-I was going to write a Part Two to my Sex And The Opposition post but there really wasn’t more to say. We worked it out. We always do. Ever have a relationship like that? That you are given more than your share of opportunities to end it and it […]

*+-I was writing to a client and Lethe came to mind. Lethe: the river of forgetfulness in Greek mythology. One of 5 rivers of the underworld. One was required to drink from Lethe to forget one’s earthly life. And then rebirth, reincarnation, could happen. I was telling this client that […]
*+-Earlier today I wrote about the upcoming Grand Trine in earth signs and the root chakra. That this trine is an opportunity to, if nothing else, ponder your root chakra and its meaning, questions such as: do you feel secure. Why or why not? Do you feel steady? And you […]
*+-Sometimes I am pretty sure that I understand my cats (and they are very chatty cats) way better than a certain person in my life. I understand each meow (and there are many different meows and other sounds as any cat person can tell you). I know what the gestures […]
*+-Travel agents, airmail, atlases… Okay. I’m biased. I *rarely* if ever think about the 3rd House. Bicycles, boat trips, bookkeepers! It just doesn’t interest me. We all have our favorites. Do we have to love everything equally? Clever people, cars, calculations… It’s not dark or mysterious or spooky or gloomy […]
*+-I am trusting my gut more and more. I now consider what I do “psychic readings” even though that makes me feel like a storefront Fortune Teller with big earrings and poofy hair and an off the shoulder blousey blouse. I can’t get away from it, even though I use […]
*+-Keeping track of the planetary comings and goings: -Mercury entered Aries this morning! -Venus leaves Aries for Taurus on Monday The Moon will enter Cancer this morning as well so you can expect a rift between your thoughts, Mercury, and your feelings, the Moon. You may want to go fast while […]
*+-I love the treadmill. I love love love love the treadmill. And the other day I realized why. And I realized why when I hurt my toe and couldn’t use the treadmill and had to use this other machine where the feet just STAY THERE. Ugh. What I realized, remembered, […]
*+-Uranus breaks. Saturn builds. These two planets rule Aquarius and the Moon is in Aquarius today. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury (according to the amazing Isabel Hickey). Mercury is the mind/words/writing, and Uranus? Intuition, which I believe is related to Inspiration and, thus, the breath. This is elementary […]
*+-Cigarettes are life’s punctuation marks: you can put one after anything, after completing any task: food, sex, work. Cigarettes mark time. Cigarettes say “I’m on a break.” Cigarettes say, “Now on to the next thing.” It’s an existential addiction. It makes you think in between the doing. Today will be […]
*+-I was up to something today, don’t remember what, when I started wondering what in astrology rules the breath. Some context: I didn’t smoke today and for a few months now I’ve been smoking more and more. It used to be one a day or two a day… and now […]
*+-Our lady Venus is in Virgo these days and, well, what do you think about that? Where’s your Virgo house? Are you beautifying what you find there? The other thing on my mind is insecurity, self-esteem, fun stuff like that. These are also Venus topics. And I thought to myself: […]
*+-I swear you guys, this blog is going to become about Writer’s Block pretty soon. What do you want to hear about? The subways? New York City? My dinner? Because when I think about writing about astrology, my mind goes blank. When I sit down to write about astrology my […]
*+-Have you failed? Have you failed often? Do you not consider it failure, but change? I have failed over and over in my life, failed to achieve things that I wanted very much. I was trying, I was doing. Maybe I was trying and doing the wrong way. Maybe this, maybe that. So I often wonder what […]
*+-Our friend Mercury is in the late degrees of Gemini and you know what comes after Gemini, right? The sign of the Crab, the sensitive sideways mover, the mother of indirectness: Cancer. Now I’ve got Mercury in Cancer and yet I do not feel qualified to speak on this topic. […]
*+-Answer: North Node in Pisces feels like VIRGO!!! I’m talking about this topic today by request, although I’m pretty obsessed with the Nodes anyway. But back to my train of thought (says Virgo South Node. Don’t interrupt my flow which really isn’t flow at all but R I G I […]
