I don’t know much about degrees. I know very little. I have heard of and read about critical and anaretic degrees but that’s all. It was a comment my friend Carl Karas made on my one of my Facebook statuses recently that got me thinking about them. He mentioned how wistful I sound and he […]

Before Synastry: A Very Basic Look at Charts
Because I’m awfully lucky, I have a copy of Richard Idemon’s Through the Looking Glass: A Search for the Self in the Mirror of Relationships. The book is a transcript of a week-long seminar that Richard did and it has been edited into a book by another person I love to read, Howard Sasportas. In […]
On Love
Venus is going through my twelfth; and we’ve all just come out of its conjunction to Neptune and Chiron. It’s still in Pisces, the sign of its exaltation. The sign of surrender, of dissolving of the self into the infinite void. I don’t know what Venus in Pisces is really like, but I have been […]
A Small Scorpio Journey
I’m in a little village at the foothills of the Himalayas right now. I cannot tell you how lovely it is here. The mountains radiate calm and serenity. The air is clean and perfumed. The pine trees are tall, dark and perfect. I’ve been here for about two weeks and all I’ve done is brood […]
Here Comes the Sun
I am the Sun. It is the heat generated in my core that makes all life possible. It is my light that makes this world and other worlds visible to you. I am all pervasive, visible to all; and even the blind who do not have sight feel my warmth on their face. When my […]
To Moon in Gemini
You’re content stringing me along Like a jangly toy whose sound you like And I’m content, sometimes, to jangle by your side. I’m fascinated by how you soul-bond With your laptop your papers and your phone And by how you’ll go to a dictionary To nail the nuance of a word But miss the heart […]
Neptune, get off my Mars!
I went crying to Mike recently. I do that lot, go crying to him. “Why,” I whined, “is my energy so low?” It was, too. Two weeks ago I sprained my neck, felt fatigued for no discernable reason and my will to engage in life faltered. Everything seemed too much, getting out of bed seemed […]
Venus in Scorpio
Cast a spell
With a look
So deep, so intense
It burns the soul
And makes the heart yearn
For just a little bit more of you
And afraid
Of that light and of that passion
That run so very deep.
Scorpio Moon: Peeling the Layers
I’ve read a lot of things about the Scorpio Moon. It’s in its fall in this sign, it’s a difficult position, it’s deep and intense, it’s secretive, it’s regenerative, it’s suspicious, it goes through intense moods, it’s probing. It’s all true. But have you ever been close to someone with this moon? Or rather is […]
Scorpio Moon Urges
Go deep inside When the pain comes Let it consume you Surrender And go deep inside Stand and stretch Stretch as much as you can And then stretch more Stretch till you can’t anymore And then let go and release Be alone with nothing And no one around And then see where that takes you […]
