*+-In honor of the Moon in Leo and the collective sigh of relief following the New Moon eclipse in Cancer, I bring you another one of my favorite singers, Maria McKee (click here) who has her Sun in Leo. I started listening to her way back when when she was part […]
Summer Eclipses 2011

*+-I swear, yesterday I felt the eclipse energy passing through me. Like a train. And I was on the train at the time. It reminded me of a Tenebrae service that I went to years ago and if you are familiar with this service then you know it gets real […]
*+-I feel very equipped to talk to you about this now because I’m going through it myself: working with the mind. And body, actually, because the two are always connected, never far apart. And this morning I was going to write about Libra, I was going to begin writing about […]
*+-The Moon is a trap. It’s not just how you feel. It’s also what you need to leave. Because the Moon is your Mum and we all need to leave home. Or we stay womby forever, attached by the roots to the source of our life, instead of to the […]
*+-The Summer Solstice is here, the longest day of the year. What this means to me, more than anything, is air conditioning 🙂 But seriously, I’m just like you, you know? Trying to figure everything out. By everything, I mean my life. Now, some signs are definitely more given to […]
*+-There is such a thing as productive sinking in. I mean, as a technique for dealing with intense emotions, for dealing with the fall-out, for dealing with feeling spent or… depressed even. Worn to the bone. Sometimes what helps is not to fight it. Not to do (see my previous […]
*+-Mercury Pluto: dark words, deathly words, transforming words, healing words, words from the underworld. Words words words. Today I went in search of the light, under a dark sky, Mercury opposition Pluto. An old friend’s daughter’s graduation and then a meal at their apartment. Hadn’t been there in… months? Leftovers […]
*+-Question: How will Cancer fare when it joins the cardinal family T-Square to make a Grand Cross? As I write this, Mercury in Cancer is at 0 degrees, Saturn is at 10 Libra, Uranus is 4 Aries, and retrograde Pluto in Capricorn at 6. Answer: It will fare sensitively. Weeping […]
*+-There it is again: the silence. It’s early morning. Early-ish. In the Big City. I hear the birds outside. Someone pressing buttons on their cell phone out back. The computer humming. My fingers typing. One cat purring and… my own thoughts inside my head, sleepy thoughts. The astrology? Read on […]
*+-1. Fight with your boyfriend 2. Experiment with your blog’s template (Sorry for the Under Construction look) 3. I don’t know if there is a three. All I know is that #1 and #2 are enough. Yesterday I felt agitated, emotional. And today? Today came the tears. Poor thing, the […]
*+-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 wish the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse would eclipse my agitation. I wish the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse would eclipse my worry. I wish the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse would eclipse my inability to… You know, I wasn’t going to write this morning. I was going to take a break. If I […]
*+-It can be easy to give advice. It is harder to see your own blind spots, how you behave. You can be so sure… that you are on the right track until someone comes along and says, “Hey! Do you realize that you…” This sort of news can be shocking. […]
*+-I’ve been on a low/no sugar diet since… early May and everything is better: my blood sugar, my stomach, my moods, and I’ve lost some weight. And this is not a diet, not temporary, but the way it has to be. Virgo Moon requires health, optimum functioning. The Moon now is […]
*+-I hope you are enjoying the eclipse season so far 🙂 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 […]
*+-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 […]
*+-One down, two to go. And today I almost wanted to apologize for how much I was sweating. “Real feel” 95 degrees or so in the big city. No ladylike Arid Xtra Dry here. I sweat the sweat of the entire NFL on a bad day. And it wasn’t like […]
*+-Bad things happen. Scary things happen. Are these platitudes? Maybe. Maybe for Moon Pluto people. That’s what we are, right? Some of us 😉 This morning there was a crisis on the homefront for me and my mind immediately turned towards this summer’s eclipses which are… right around the corner. […]
