*+-I’m in the midst of doing laundry which is a very Virgo Season way of starting a post but I don’t want to talk about Virgo Season. I want to talk about Chiron and the excruciating pain of Chiron and how clients keep finding me from my old Chiron posts […]

*+-(This blog post is a work in progress. Edits to come!) Freud wrote that dreams were the royal road to the unconscious. Well, so is the Tarot. Here’s the deal. Maybe you want to be a Tarot reader (for self or others) or want to create a Tarot deck or […]
*+-Life update: I’m blogging a lot these days, here and on Substack. You can subscribe to my Substack – for free — but also as a paid-subscriber. Paid subs get MORE posts (i.e. all the posts) including the WRITING PROMPTS. New one coming up this weekend. I have it scheduled […]
*+-I’ll try to break it down for you, make it so you don’t need to know any astrology to know what’s going on in the sky (and thus with you). (Plus a reminder that I’m blogging here and on Substack because sometimes I write so much that I got to […]
*+-Blogging more over here on Substack but hmm maybe I’ll write some here and some there? Not sure yet. Just wanted to make sure I put the link here. Still writing about astrology, tarot, and magic but also my adventures in psychoanalysis. On Substack, there are paid-sub only posts and lots […]
*+-My analyst acts like we have all the time in the world. I don’t know how old he is, but he’s older than me. Today I asked him what something meant. “Symbolically,” I said. What does it mean symbolically? And as I sit here typing to you I can’t remember […]
*+-You have to understand (I say to my analyst): I’ve been out of circulation for a long time. What I mean is: not just Covid. Not just pandemic time. I mean, I’ve been self-employed for decades and that’s how I like it. I was a pet sitter (working totally alone […]
*+-When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the diners of New York City is what I think to myself as I walk home from my morning walk and pancakes. Nice cold crisp weather, below zero in actual temperature and real feel. Finally got my layers right this morning and am horrified […]
*+-I want to remember how to write. I used to write so freely. That’s what this blog was, all freedom and pain and desire. And astrology. And, yes, I did delete years worth blog posts recently. Writing my two (published) books didn’t make me a better writer. I think they […]
*+-More often than not, I don’t understand my own nature. I’m scared all the time *and* I do things that scare me ALL the time. And there’s lots of stuff that doesn’t scare me in the slightest and I do those things too. But it’s the fear stuff that fascinates […]
*+-After my therapy came to an end, I had a story to tell and I told it. I told it and told it and told it. I told it to the 20 or 30 therapists I interviewed in the hopes of finding him in a new form. I wanted a […]
*+-Sometimes I don’t mind when clients/students cancel (ahead of time, that is). It lets me recreate my day. Today is cancellation day so it seems and my friend Christopher also cancelled coming to NYC (he’s not feeling well) but I’ve got an errand to run and lots of reading to […]
