Pluto in Capricorn Station-Direct: Purge, Release, Renew
It was 2011 and I had just made a pilgrimage the scene of my own personal nightmare– a place where I was once taken by the darkness, stripped of illusions, lost my personal power (& almost died). I attended my 20 year High school reunion. Many years later I realized I had been under the […]
Pisces Full Moon: Zen Moon
As a writer, I experience periodic blocks. I don’t think creative blocks are exclusive to artists. People experience life blocks all the time, periods in your life where despite your best efforts and intentions (or maybe because of them) the things you try to do just don’t seem to get traction or go anywhere. It’s as if, […]
Virgo New Moon: Humble Harvest
Astraea, the Goddess associated with Virgo, was the last immortal to live on Earth, until she left in disgust, so disturbed by humanity’s wickedness, evil and corruption. If she was truly a Virgo, she probably also developed a digestive, respiratory condition or other physical ailment from all the pollution, too. Nonetheless, Astraea became part of […]
Aquarius Full Moon: The Aquarian Stands Apart
There are only a few people I speak to consistently on a weekly basis: my husband and my therapist. My husband is a Leo, and my therapist is an Aquarian. As I interact with entirely different personalities, I receive very different gifts. Affection, play, fun-loving antics are the Leo’s specialty. An entertainer exemplar, he makes […]

Jupiter in Leo: Dare To Shine
Always jump in the puddles! Always skip alongside the flowers. The only fights worth fighting are the pillow and food varieties. -Terri Guillemets Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You. -Dr. Seuss Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which […]
Capricorn Full Moon: The Shape Of My Heart
Before the Uranus-Pluto square began making matters of life direction (and pretty much everything) tougher to unravel, it was much easier for me to offer Joseph Campbell’s career advice to those clients who were miserable in their professions. “Follow your bliss” I’d say, and point to the major career indicators in the chart: Sun (creative […]
The Nudge of The Moon
It’s Cancer Sun season. The Sun is now ruled by the Moon, so it’s a time for quieting down, listening to the Soul. The feminine Moon presides over our heart and soul while the masculine Sun presides over the Ego, the Self, and it’s glorious prizes of achievement and recognition. While both dance across the sky […]
Cancer New Moon: Healing Sanctuary
“Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.” -Rumi I first moved out to California shortly after graduating from college, and my mother’s death. San Francisco proved to be far foggier and colder than I thought. The saving grace of that first home I lived in was its close proximity to a lush […]
