Dr. Seuss and Jupiter in Aries

I had a wonderful day recharging my batteries. Transiting Moon was on my Venus and you gotta love those Moon-Venus contacts. Today is also special because a few hours ago, Jupiter moved into Aries. As I write this the planet of plenty is on 0 Aries. Earlier this evening, I had an interesting email exchange with […]

Loving Venus-Uranus

 I’ve cottoned on to your game Of hide and go seek With pieces of my heart. Peek-a-boo! Now I see you Now I don’t. I have learnt from you, my dear About the virtues of blissful detachment And the pain of too much attachment. And from you I learnt how to love Someone unconditionally […]

Vesta Speaks

I give you sacred tasks. I infuse your soul with the need to serve. I equip you for your duty. You belong then to no man, no woman, no child; you belong solely to the tasks you are responsible for. I pull you away from the world, from personal relationships, from ease. I pull you […]

Pallas Athena speaks

You know me. You’ve seen me. I walk on the sidewalks next to you, you’ve passed me in corridors of power, you work by my side or you work for me. I am Pallas Athena, I am my father’s daughter and I am shaped for power and success. I sit in your boardrooms and even […]

Venus-Neptune Loving: A Glimpse

Why don’t you come in? It’s warm here and the lights are low and the sounds muted. True, we can’t see clearly, but do you really care about that? Leave that harsh world and its unending demands behind. What do you need that for? The world is not going to care whether you lived or […]

2010: We wuz here, too!

Each time you say something. It’s a risk. Someone could shoot it down. Each time you stand up for what you believe in. It’s a risk. Someone could attack your deeply held belief. Each time you dream, wish, hope. It’s a risk. You could fail. Each time you open your heart. It’s a risk. You […]

A Little about Hugh Hefner

He’s a Democrat, he supported the rights of people with alternative sexual orientation back in the 1950s, admitted to experimenting with bisexuality, gives to charity and called his first wife’s affair before their marriage “the most devastating moment of my life.”  He’s had four children from two different wives and now at the age of […]

On Venus and Chiron in the Current Sky

You remember when you were a kid and they made you learn the figures of speech? Did you hate ‘em? I loved ‘em. Still do. But, really, we owe our English teachers a big “thank you” because where would we be without a fine appreciation of irony? Take me for instance, I wrote a whole […]

In the Shadow of Venus Retrograde

“All things betray thee, who betrayest Me.” That’s a line from Francis Thompson’s religious poem, “The Hound of Heaven.” It’s a powerful poem and this one line has been echoing in my head. I want to write about Vesta, I’ve been looking at Juno, but it is Venus cruising through Scorpio that’s got a hold me […]
