*+-As I type to you, drones flying above New Jersey is our headline news. The semester is just about over. I have two more classes. And everyone has their eye on NEXT YEAR. So many planets changing signs. I’m watching it all, just like you are, and doing my best […]

*+-I was writing about Mars retrograde today in the newsletter. Here’s an excerpt: A Mars retrograde carries many of the same keywords as a Mercury retrograde: review, redo, renew. This doesn’t mean that you can’t launch something or move forward, but you’ll be doing it a little differently. You may […]
*+-We’re in the midst of a long angry slog by the name of Mars retrograde and this week we have a Full Moon in Mars Retrograde in Gemini. Where are the boundaries? What needs to be said? Gemini rules speech. Everything means something and nothing means anything. I’m at that point […]
*+-Mars retrograde is worse than you think and especially for Pluto in Virgo generation in the late degrees because we’re having this prolonged Mars square Pluto transit. I was about to finally catch up on Patreon and I hit my toe (and had to sit down, elevate it) and then […]
*+-I was sitting in class (on Zoom) thinking about emptiness which I guess makes sense with Zoom. Zoom class is there and not there, impersonal. And remembering that I need to tell you that I unpublished YEARS of blog posts. Long story. I’m not even sure where the blog begins […]
*+-Thinking about Mars going retrograde at the end of this month and thinking about my new analyst. My first analyst actually. Whereas before there was “therapy” now there is “analysis” and I have a feeling he’s not typical and I think that’s a theme with me. For better or worse, […]
*+-LETTERS TO MARS IN ARIES Letter no. 1 All crossroads are hard. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and they may try to. They may try to talk you down, try to talk you off the ledge, try to talk to you with those stupid stupid words in their mouth, […]
*+-Action precedes motivation. I learned this phrase decades ago from a friend who was in a Depressed Anonymous group. I said it to someone today. During Mars retrograde you may feel stuck, stymied, in prison. You may feel low ambition, low confidence, low self esteem. Anxiety. Existential dread. You can’t […]
*+-Has your life fallen apart? Let it grow around you. Let what remains, or something new, grow around you, to protect you. I’m thinking about a house. Maybe this is a metaphor and maybe it is the real deal for you. You’ve moving into a new house. Or an old […]
*+-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 […]
*+-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 […]
*+-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 […]
*+-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 […]
*+-This whole Saturn retrograde thing may have you feeling like you’ve gone back in time. Something you thought was settled is not settled at all. But if you were (are) watching the stars, then you knew it was coming. April is a funny month. Mercury goes retrograde at the end […]
