The truism goes, you have to love your self before you can truly love another. I experienced this truism as 100% true the first time I realised I’d given the love I should’ve been giving to my self to another and wound up empty & unloved. As I get older the love truisms develop in […]

Libra Full Moon: Time To Get Growing
Springtime is the season of awakening. All of nature is conspiring to wake up: the Sun warms the birds so they’ll sing, likewise encouraging the buds. This encourages certain housecats to chase said birds. We feel this, too. We get the equivalent of cabin fever in our bodies, lives and relationships: it becomes increasingly impossible […]
Pisces New Moon: The Knower
I used to co-teach a monthly new moon astrology class, one where we’d give a handout months’ worth of transits coming down the pike. Always, students bemoaned the transits. Mercury is retrograde, again? What good is that? Yet hope springs eternal — even in the heart of the most jaded starwatcher. When Jupiter met Venus, […]
Neptune-Venus Transits, Neptune Seventh House Transits: The Impossible Relationship
There are times in life when impossible relationships appear. They aren’t available, you aren’t available, there’s a difference in age, or geography so vast that coming together is not only crazy but exceedingly impractical. Some may say that’s the definition of true love. It may be one. However, the difference between a possible or impossible […]
Virgo Full Moon: The Being & The Doing
My client called me the other day, confused by the way the very ground of a decision she had just confidently made had quickly emotionally bottomed out. “Yesterday I was so sure of my decisions but today I’m feeling anxious, uncertain about everything.” I looked at her chart: the Sun, currently in Pisces was transiting […]
Saturn Transits The First House: The Life Waiting For You
With Saturn now moving retrograde, I figured I’d check in on how I’m faring with Saturn. Saturn has been transiting my First House since September 2011. I had been looking forward to Saturn leaving my Twelfth House like I looked forward to being released from an obligation I had no interest in keeping; in my […]
Leo Full Moon: Stand In The Light
I was backing out of the animal shelter, after stopping by to say hi to the kittens and puppies (it’s good for the mental health), when Saturn in Scorpio and I had an automobile collision. She got out of her car, and immediately dished me up a nasty insult. But I was so high on […]
Capricorn New Moon: Spiritual Instincts, Earthly Rules -or- Why Earthless Girls Work Harder
Dolly Parton, a Capricorn, once said: “The magic is inside of you. There ain’t no crystal ball.” Well, to tempt Fate, the Capricorn Gods, and Dolly, I had a psychic reading yesterday. The psychic told me she’d never seen an aura like mine, it was larger than normal (apparently the average aura is 7 inches […]
2013: Just The Essentials
Around New Year’s I like to plan some yearly goals. This is less about resolve, more like focusing and clarifying my mind on what I’d like to accomplish in the coming year. This year, I’m going extra gentle on my “worldly ambitions” and instead going for the feelings I’d like to possess (vitality, serenity, peace, […]
Uranus Direct: Surrender The SuperEgo
Uranus moves direct on Thursday 12/13/12 at 5′ Aries. Uranus retrograde has allowed us to get real familiar with how our SuperEgo limits our person-hood. Our SuperEgo is that part of us that is chock full of shoulds, judgment about being too out- there, different, weird, and whenever we experience an authentic call from the […]
