*+-Working with Aliza is always deeply rewarding and helpful to me. She’s accepting and easy to connect with; I feel like I can tell her anything–even the “dark” or hard stuff–and she remains unflappable. No matter what frame my (Gemini) mind is in, she syncs with me and helps me […]

*+-Fuck off, Mother’s Day. And in other news 🙂 Jupiter goes direct tomorrow. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL. Fuck off because there are people in the world (raises hand) for whom mother or mothering is painful. Their mothers are dead or GONE IN OTHER WAYS – narcissistic, careless, neglectful. […]
*+-I wrote about the New Moon in Taurus yesterday and then I deleted it. I didn’t like the blog post. It felt empty. And then this morning I went for my walk and realized the depth of the New Moon in Taurus for me and perhaps others — It isn’t […]
*+-Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Pluto are retrograde– but it’s Mars and Pluto that are on my mind the most this evening. YOU WILL FEEL POWERLESS. How can you not feel powerless under such a sky. Not if you know what Mars and Pluto mean. Mars is PASSION. Pluto is PURIFICATION. […]
*+-Extrapolating on some stuff I’m talking about in the class: how it’s hard to have faith right now. We have MARS and SATURN in Sagittarius (Sag tends to be hopeful) –but these planets are retrograde (confused). Saturn in Sag anyway would be a test of faith, making us work for […]
*+-Mercury is retrograde. Mars is retrograde. Saturn and Pluto retrograde. Even Jupiter is retrograde, but goes direct next week. And in the midst of the review, delay, and malaise or however you are experiencing this time, stagnation or relaxation or a little of both, we have  Sun, Venus, and Mercury […]
*+-Em commented on the blog: I still don’t know exactly, but the raft in the midst of the Seas feels safe. Or at least, it no more feels unsafe. We keep going. Anew. My Paris friend, Em. Let’s draw a card or two shall we? For the safe raft, for […]
*+-So far what I’m noticing is that folks are not freaking out over these retrogrades. They are taking it/them in stride. In fact, I’m noticing optimism and breakthroughs of spirit. So far so good. Maybe it’s the Sun Jupiter trine this week that’s causing the uptick. It’s in orb. Whatever […]
*+-There’s only one right answer for the girl or guy who wants love and been denied — that it’s coming and coming soon. Happily ever after. Truth is I have seen it. Confused clients barking up the wrong tree (mismatches, bad synastry) and then boom love walks in without warning. […]
*+-That feeling that you’re feeling is mourning. And it’s nothing to be afraid of, really. But you have to feel it. If you don’t spend time in it, feeling it, you won’t process it, won’t move through it, won’t chew it. It’ll stay stuck in your bones and grow arms […]
*+-It’s already Monday so let me catch up a bit. I wrote this to an Email client this morning who was concerned about the retrogrades and what it meant for her chart. Wait. Before that let me tell you that I am starting to keep track of my moods – […]
*+-Blog posts about Mercury retrograde often come with these lists of DOs and DON’Ts. Don’t buy this. Don’t sign that. Do review, redo, revise, renew. I made a little meme today using one of my favorite RE words: RESURRECTION. Or this: EIGHT WAYS TO KEEP MERCURY RETROGRADE FROM FUCKING YOU […]
*+-The Full Moon in Scorpio did exactly what it was supposed to do, deliver the news, bring shit to light. Emphasis on the shit. Scorpio is ruled by both Mars and Pluto and Pluto rules shit and elimination. Mars rules blood. It was a messy messy bloody bloody Full Moon, […]
*+-Mars is now retrograde. Pluto goes retrograde tomorrow. Saturn is retrograde. Jupiter is retrograde. Mercury goes retrograde this month too. Lately I’ve been thinking about what I’ve lost and what can be replaced and the other day I wrote about Mars retrograde in Sagittarius (it went rx today) being something […]
*+-MARS GOES RX THIS WEEKEND I drew one card for Mars Retrograde and it’s interesting to me because I got myself a reading today and the last card, the “take home” was Judgement, a card I happen to like a lot. But how can this be, MoonPluto? Mars, our courage, […]
*+-From my Facebook:Â To truly get what you desire and value (whatever that is), you cannot have a continual adversarial relationship with life itself, with being alive itself. Life itself will keep tripping you up then. Thinking about the Tarot I’ve drawn for the house (that I’m interested in renting) […]
*+-Life has been busy the last few days and I regret that I’ve not had time to blog yet. It’s already Tuesday!! Let’s catch up a bit — Today is the Mars Venus trine. Sagittarius and Aries, fire signs, and I consider this lucky, a lucky break. Fire isn’t practical […]
*+-So this just happened and it surprised me. Drew for advice. OH TAROT WHAT DO I DO (about such and such)? Devil? Hold on? Chain myself? Huh? REALLY???? Yes, says the Devil. Hold on. Chain yourself. And then came the Four of Wands. The cards change, but they are always […]
*+-This post is for a client – who is struggling with the Three of Swords (heartbreak sorrow, heartbreak chaos). She doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t know where to turn. Everything hurts. The New Moon was in her First House, yes she’s an Aries Rising, and Aries/Mars is the […]
*+-Someone once told me that my obsessions were my gifts, but I don’t know how this can be. Being obsessed with someone, or something, is painful to me. Sometimes lucrative (good for making art!) but often just leads to wheel-spinning or wasted time. Emotional fuel and no car. So I […]
*+-Things are just getting weirder and weirder, which is a perfect time for a New Moon. A perfect start in something. It’s perfect because it hasn’t happened yet. It lives in the unknown. Potential. A Tarot Ace. What do you want? Think about it. New Moons = opportunities. Regarding weirder […]
*+-Old entrenched patterns. How to fix them, heal them. Are they fixable, healable? Is there hope for us? Well, I’ve got good news for you. Jupiter is retrograde. This is good news because Jupiter will go direct early May, and Jupiter is in Virgo and Virgo wants to be healthy. Doesn’t […]
*+-Even though I just blogged about the weekend, I want to talk about next week, briefly, and next week is amazing. I’ll do my best to blog day by day but let me give you a little list: SUN TRINE SATURN (build it) VENUS ENTERS ARIES (love it by fire) […]
*+-If you’re obsessed or distressed, I think this weekend will help you out. Aquarius is a worker, a thinker, a worker. Not to say that Aquarius doesn’t obsess; of course they do BUT I think you’ll still feel immense relief. I told you this week would be rough (for many) […]
