That I was walking down the street not soooo far from where I live, and it was like a scene in a Yiddish short story. A visibly Jewish man -- which is an odd phrase but sometimes I bow to contemporary convention -- was sitting on a folding chair outside a row house,...
Uranus is shocking. If you study astrology, that’s one of the first things you’ll learn about our dear Uranus. Expect the unexpected. The one planetary energy we cannot predict. And this is nothing if not a Uranian week: Mars Uranus, Sun Uranus, Mercury Uranus: a...
"A little older, a little more confused." -Dennis Hopper in The American Friend * The best thing I ever did was stop writing at the school library. I have a book to write, a deadline to meet. Grateful for that. And, early on, I thought okay I would make the rounds,...
Working on my book, working on my writing, listening to Bon Iver, and taking a small blogging break before I get back to it. How are you? That was one of the last things my mother said to me before she died. She was in the hospital at the time. We were on the phone. I...

Sometimes the gifts are dark. That's how it goes. But those are often the gifts that change your life FOR THE BETTER. I had a great conversation the other day (with a potential mentor?) and he was kinda applauding my ability (is that the right word? Not quite but I...
It will be an interesting Leo Season because Leo Season will give us a Grand Cross. Grand Crosses happen when we have planets in all the fixed signs at the same time (or all the cardinal signs or all the mutable signs). We have Saturn in Aquarius. The rules are...
No, it's not exact yet, but it doesn't matter. You're probably feeling it or will be feeling it and I'd say that's normal but some folks are more sensitive than others to THE ENERGIES. Thing is this, though, any bold or fast move you take or make this week isn't out...
