*+-Yesterday an old friend said to me that I “dodged a bullet” and I thought to myself: are you kidding?? I got shot! Didn’t dodge no bullet. I’m riddled with them. Swiss cheese! But there is such a thing as surgery and wounds heal. I know THE BEST surgeons in […]
saturn in the 9th house

*+-Something I’ve written about before that was inspired by something from Howard Sasportas about the migration from 8th House to 9th House. And I am paraphrasing him + inserting my own ideas here– How the 8th is the house of trauma and taboo and death and surgery (and also I […]
*+-A gal in one of the chat rooms mentioned Jupiter square Saturn in the context of our current sky… that Jupiter in Leo (lovable lion) is square Saturn in Scorpio (dark and stormy) — in wide orb currently. And I took a look in my little book. The square won’t be […]
*+-Saturn isn’t just the meanie teacher, the disciplinarian, the oppressor, the Lord of Time (old age wisdom) and Karma (reap what ye sow) who makes us eat our groats 😉 Saturn is also our WORK. Remember that Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn is your BUSINESS i.e. you best […]
*+-Where is Taurus Season for you? In what house (of your chart) primarily? I love the in between places: airports, filling stations, convenience stores… places where people are en route, not staying, not forever, in progress. The traveler. Taurus Season means 9th House for me and I don’t have any […]
*+-So I was writing on Facebook: had my Moon in Cancer mood swing melt down and now I can take my trip 🙂 I was feeling that natal Saturn (fear) of mine in the 9th House (travel) absolutely but then my Scorpio friend called me and told me all the […]
*+-So I spent the morning in pain. Took about 4 hours to not be in pain. Pulled a muscle in my back and I think it… was spasming for that long. I could not lie down or sit in any position… I noticed that mild pacing was the best I could […]
*+-An old college friend emailed me last night. He’s going to edit a new on-line poetry journal and once upon a time we were colleagues, poets together, undergraduate. He wants me to submit poems. I haven’t written a poem in years. Not since I started writing plays. When I was in school, […]
*+-You know what squares in synastry are? They are misunderstandings. And misunderstandings can be understood! Once you really get a sense of the planet in the sign that’s squaring yours… it becomes less painful. Trust me on this. It’s a lesson I just learned and it rings so damn true. […]
*+-You know what gives you perspective? REALLY gives you perspective? Having terrible things happen. Having ENOUGH terrible things happen. And if it doesn’t crush you, doesn’t crush you permanently, you do emerge not only stronger but… different. Your brain chemistry changes. I speak from experience. There comes a point where […]
*+-The Word for Today is TEACH. Read on and you’ll see why… Wednesday: Okay, kitties! You have way more than you realize. Way more resources. Way more people on your side. Support. Rely on them. This is the law of the Universe in your life at this time! The Authority […]
*+-Jupiter rules hope and Gemini is the multi-tasking Twins and I was thinking about hope while fiddling with my dry-erase board (see here for my introduction to the power of the Dry Erase!). Wondering if we need to abandon hope (as Pema Chodron may suggest) or embrace hope. In order […]
*+-(Pictured: You and the Killer Whale inside you) Free will exists. It just DOES. You can blame the world all you want for your problems or blame your parents. Or yourself. And it may be true. The world may suck. Your parents may suck. You may be totally inept 😉 […]
*+-I have an extreme longing for God. Or whatever you want to call IT. I’m Jewish but when I was a kid I bemoaned the fact that Jews didn’t have convents (there’s a joke in there somewhere). I didn’t consider converting but began to collect rosaries. Oy. What did my […]
*+-Travel agents, ambassadors, attorneys… The 9th House is a BIG HOUSE! Devotion, courts of law, what you believe… Why do I say this? It’s the house associated with Jupiter and Jupiter is BIG. Foreign countries, counselors, your consciousness expanding… It expands what it touches (the old saying goes.) College, clergy, […]
*+-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 do believe (Sagittarius) and I do declare (Sagittarius) that I am going to be travelling in 2012: textbook astrology in that Jupiter (expansion) will be transiting my 9th House of long distance travel. Now, it’s not always so literal, but sometimes it is. I have natal Saturn in my […]
*+-A reader shared something with me so beautiful this morning that I had to share it here. That she was at the start of her day, her daily life, busy with her kids, the sun was rising, it was cool out, she was noticing her world and the day ahead, […]
*+-How free are you? I mean *really free*. Could you leave it all behind, whatever you have? Your things, your home, your people, whoever is around you? And for what would you give it all up? I’m thinking about Jupiter Retrograde and how I don’t believe the retrograde cancels out […]
*+-I was going to write about my Saturn transit this morning, I have the notes for it, but instead I may just post the Billie Holiday song which came to mind as I was writing. “Love for Sale.” Fits, doesn’t it? Libra is love i.e. Venus i.e relationships. The 2nd […]
