As the Sun moves through the constellations, once again we find our selves at the beginning: Aries. The zodiacal sign of Aries has over the years, earned my admiration. Full of vigor, can-do and the enthusiasm of perpetual springtime, Aries has the power to turn away from the past, the whole 11 signs that came before. After swimming with the Fishes, Aries juts chin out and in an act born of defiance & Truth makes this moment, this life, this day, brand new. No other sign can claim that.

Sure, I have admiration and even love for this sign. But I don’t look forward to this season. Read more

Mercury in Aries, Retrograde: Retro-fitting the Self

Filed Under Aries, Astrology In Daily Life, Mercury the Messenger | 4 Comments

The weather, wet and cold right now in northern California, is great for staying indoors, reading novels, deep introspection and calling in sick – which is what I did today. As the piled high mountain of used Kleenex mounted, and after reading a few chapters of a fantastic novel, I decided that what I most wanted to do with my sick day was to put some attention on my latest life mission: figuring out a way to do what I love, without killing myself (the alternate title for this post).

Virgo Full Moon: …And Don’t Forget to Take Your Vitamins

Filed Under Illuminated Lunations, Virgo | 1 Comment

Virgo is undoubtedly one of the hardest working signs in the zodiac, and Virgo’s virtues –meticulousness, fastidiousness, and mental focus– she applies to keeping the inner workings of our lives, keeping body, home & business running smoothly, seamlessly. Because I’ve known so many Virgo folks (and those with mega-Virgo planets) who make it their job to assist others be their best, I often think of Virgo as the invisible helper– someone who tirelessly works on behalf of others, sometimes going unrecognized, often doing the grunt work that few others have the aptitude or desire to do – save Virgo.

Paying Tribute to the Gods, Pisces New Moon

Filed Under Illuminated Lunations, Pisces | 9 Comments

What’s your connection to magical consciousness? For me it’s very Third House/Mercury, driving, walking, writing… also, dreaming. Last week I was working on a reading and I couldn’t help thinking I was missing the overarching thread that would pull it all together. Troubled, I silently asked for guidance, got in the car; and a show on NPR gave me the missing link. Often when I’m on the phone with a client, in answer to what’s being said on the other line our neighbors’ pack of wolf dogs start howling – eerily amplified by the canyon. And recently, feeling bereft of focus, I decided to write a mission statement for my astrological practice. Later, I received generous feedback on the reading I did prior, the feedback mirroring my intentional statement almost word for word. I connect synchronous magic to attentive Mercury, but also to Neptune and Pisces, conduits of consciousness.
