The atmosphere at the start was amazing. The band played as runners queued for portaloos. The sky shone blue and volunteers wandered around with bottles of sunscreen for those (like myself) who then declared “oh, it’s the one thing I forgot.” Up …

something about blenders, bridges and balsamic moons…
I’m doing the Bridge Run on Sunday. It’s a 9km walk/run/whatever across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through the streets and finishing at the Botanical Gardens. You can read a bit about it here. I did it last year with a friend- it was sort of an acc…
Why I love astrology…
I had lunch the other day with some ex colleagues from the old partition job. Actually, all of them had left the Mothership some years before I did, but we still catch up from time to time. Naturally the conversation got onto what I’m doing these day…
Your Career & the Cosmos: Chaos Theory
I have a friend who is a Virgo Sun and Moon, with Capricorn Rising. She said to me a few months ago, ‘Do you know how exhausting it is to be a Virgo? I wish I wasn’t.’ Sure, she is uber Virgo, the Virgo from the textbooks, the type of woman who

Ever noticed how some times of the month you have more energy that others? Sure there is that time, but there are also some days where you just feel like jumping out of your skin and other days where you want to curl up on the couch and stuff your fac…
something about cheese and dad…
What a weekend! I spent Saturday with my husband at a cheese making workshop. I’m never buying ricotta again! In 48 hours we will be eating our own feta and in 4 weeks will be slicing into hand made camembert. If I follow the instructions, that is. I…
Blue Moon
I’m having a few 8th house transits at present, so some of the more unpleasant things in life have crept in of late. They are, however, life. And that is what the 8th house is ultimately about- life in the raw, life as the cold hard facts, life as a …
That’s Freedom
Today we said goodbye to my Nan. The Moon is in Aquarius (as was Nan’s natal Moon) and the music they played was John Farnhams’ “That’s Freedom.” She loved John Farnham. One of my cousins talked about how Nan always had a costume for any occa…
