Tonight begins Rosh Chodesh Elul, which is the month before the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana. I love Elul. Elul has a distinctive smell to it. Sometimes it's the smell of fall, of leaves, the smell of seasons changing. I start to feel hopeful as we move away from...
Hello the Solar Eclipse/New Moon is next week, August 12th. Wednesday. Sign of Leo the Lion at the 20 degree mark. When is the moment of clear seeing/focus? 1:37 pm Eastern. WRITE IT DOWN. Worth noting the presence of both Mercury and Jupiter (and the Sun of course)...
Here we are. Heatwave today. Wait. No. It's not a heatwave but it is DAY ONE of hotter temperatures after a cold cold winter and a moderate spring. I only had to take my allergy medicine once. And I haven't blogged here consistently for a long time but instead...
It’s been an intense few weeks. It feels like a thousand lifetimes and at the same time it feels like things are finally settling down. What was that shamanic initiation that had to happen and why? An intense whirlwind, about a month in duration, a process of...
It’s all so unprecedented. It’s hard to give advice. I say one thing and then the opposite becomes true and then it flips again. What does this mean? It means… if you find yourself at a loss you’re not doing it wrong. You will figure it out....
I woke up at 3am with a SPLITTING HEADACHE, a stabbing pain. A friend of mine reminded me that Mars is currently on my Sun (and I have this aspect in my natal). I was saying to her: SATURN IS OPPOSING MY MOON and blah blah blah Pluto blah blah blah. But she’s...
You’re gonna hear people say their structures are falling, they’re collapsing, falling though space, an atomization of the spirit, the self. I’m thinking about a paper by psychoanalyst Esther Bick. This line: “This mother too has lost her spacesuit.” This is what the...
What is it that will come out of left field? This Full Moon is square Uranus. Who will surprise you? Who will be surprised? Questions without answers. Yet. It's *just* a Full Moon. It's not the beginning or the end. But Eclipse Season is coming. Mercury retrograde is...
People like to read about the hard transits. I always wrote about them. I don’t think I ever got over Uranus and Pluto squaring/opposing my Sun at the same time. My life IS the shape of the Uranus Pluto square from all those years ago. So now what? Pluto is...
I haven’t blogged in forever. I handed in the first draft of my new book on November 1st. Yesterday was my mother’s birthday, November 12th. Today is… I don’t know what today is. But I just did this homework assignment for school, a writing assignment, and it felt...
