As someone with a very un mainstream career, when people ask what I do for a living, what I call myself (at this point either: writer, astrologer or health coach), sadly, is determined by what is most likely to merit the least amount of judgment from others. Being so firmly planted “outside the system” has […]

Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse: The Guts Of Love
A friends of my friends are in newly committed relationships. After the heady high of romance, things can get rocky. From listening to their stories, I’m reminded of the challenges a relationship faces during that precarious and magnificent time when two people decide to merge hearts & lives. John and I quickly decided we couldn’t […]
Aries New Moon: Me First
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 […]
