As a writer, I’ve always been inspired by song lyrics. The writing many of us enjoy reading often has a special lyricism to it, and I aim for a similar sort of harmony and symmetry in my own work. If a piece feels off-balance, or it can be made more lovely through the use of […]

Leo Full Moon: Shine On
Who in the hell d’you think you are? A super star? Well, right you are. – John Lennon This weekend, I took a walk down the block to visit a new friend. She served me tea, peppered me with questions about myself and soon enough out my reindition of “How I Met My Husband” tumbled […]
Aquarius New Moon: Liberation Moon
When I think of the spirit of Aquarius, I think of the Nile River. Every year in ancient Egypt melting winter snow flowed from the Ethiopian Mountains into the Nile, essentially flooding the city surrounding. Since it was their only water source, a small flood or no flood meant famine, so they depended on this […]
Saturn in Sagittarius: B* Slapped By The Unfamiliar
Last night I was bitch slapped by Saturn. Specifically, by Mars in Pisces, transiting my fifth house of risk, performance and self-expression, squaring Saturn in Sagittarius, now located in my second house of self-esteem. What comfort zone was I pushed to face? I threw myself directly into the fire of my fears and went to […]
2015: New and Continuing Trends
It’s a New Year! Welcome! In 2015, some trends are continuing, while some are radically different from 2014. Here’s my very brief overview of what’s happening. A FRESH LOOK As of 12/23/14, Saturn is now in Sagittarius until 12/25/17 (Saturn will retrograde in Scorpio from 6/16-9/17/15), giving Sagittarius planets the cosmic push to accomplish something […]
Cancer Full Moon: Computers Don’t Have Hearts
Thoughtless, heartless, unkind, cruel…these were some of the words used by the author of the blog, Algorithmic Cruelty, and in the reader comments, to describe what it felt like to have his Facebook “Year in Review” feature a picture of his dead 8- year-old daughter with the caption “It’s been a great year…” Immediately, the blog […]
Saturnalia Ritual Spell: Inhale Your Authority Back
Saturnalia was a Roman festival involving presents, revelry, and a little bit of bad behaviour. First there was a radical reversal of the established social order, when for a brief period of time slaves would become masters, and masters would become slaves. Another cool aspect of the celebration involved a statue of Saturn, bound in straps […]
Capricorn New Moon: The Tower and the Touchstone
Every year as Capricorn season arrives with bells on, so does our awareness of the passage of time, along with just how tightly we’ve scheduled our self, how pressured we feel by our numerous commitments, and how many hungry mouths and empty bank accounts we’ve got to satisfy. This sobering influence, on the holiday known […]
Venus Meets The Uranus-Pluto Square: Peeling The Onion
We really don’t know what we’re getting into when we fall in love with another, do we? We fall under the spell of love, we fall for someone trustworthy, kind and true, and trust that no matter what comes our way, the tender feelings we have for one another will insulate and protect us from […]
Gemini Full Moon: Messenger Moon
“He doesn’t listen to me,” said a client with a Gemini Moon. “He acts like he’s listening, but I can tell he’s not.” I could relate. I have a Gemini Moon partner. Constantly multi-tasking between science fiction videos, shopping and work, catching his attention is like trying to catch a butterfly in motion. As a result, […]
