In yesterday’s post (Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats), I discussed the Venus-Mars conjunction. A conjunction occurs when two (or more) planets appear next to each other in the sky from our vantage. They needn’t be anywhere near each other in reality. For example, Venus is still quite close to earth. She just overtook us… Continue reading Virgo Pisces Opposition

Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats
Tuesday is the first day of September. At 12:04 am CDT, Venus will conjunct Mars to simultaneously kick off the day and the month. Six hours later, one with a clear view of the eastern horizon will be able to watch them rise side-by-side ahead of the sun. I’ve been observing Venus before sunrise, but unfortunately there’s… Continue reading Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats
Design and Implementation
In thirty days—on September 17, 2015 at 9:49 pm CDT—Saturn will ingress the sign of Sagittarius, where it will remain until December 19, 2017. Less than nine hours before that happens, Mercury will station retrograde at 15 Libra 55. Noticing this synchronicity, I decided to explore the Gemini and Virgo perspectives of this event. That’s when… Continue reading Design and Implementation

When you look up at the sun today, keep in mind that Venus is hovering right next to it, though you cannot see her. At 2:21 pm CDT, she will make her closest pass as that is the moment of peak conjunction. The moon, also invisible at this time, hovers near by and is not… Continue reading 4400

I looked at all the information and found myself saying, “Who cares?” and, “What’s the point?” I walked away from the computer and started doing errands. It then occurred to me that I did have… Continue reading Double Red
What’s in a Name
Last weekend, I received an interesting reaction to the title of my new novel: Scribe to the Pantheon of Rome. It was primarily a facial expression, but it stuck with me. Two years ago, I was struggling with titles for my books. The first version of my first novel was called A Fool's Journey. To me, the… Continue reading What’s in a Name
Razing a House
Three days ago—Monday at 10:38 am CDT—the earth directly aligned in between the sun and Pluto. Astrologically speaking, we say that the sun and Pluto formed an exact opposition. In six days, the same will occur with Mars and then Mercury. That's three pluto oppositions in less than ten days! These Pluto oppositions affect all of… Continue reading Razing a House
Q and A
I recently received an email that started with: “Perhaps you could write [] an explanation of your Journey book[.]” This is an excellent idea, so I am doing that here. One reader asked: “Why did you write this as fiction?” In his mind, the teachings were better conveyed within a spiritual/metaphysical self-help type book. My answer… Continue reading Q and A

In last week’s blog post, I asked for feedback and got some. I still welcome more. If you have thoughts or opinions about my book(s), my blog, my readings, or my ideas, you are welcome to share…publically or privately. One thing I now understand is this: for many, it was never very clear what kind… Continue reading RFI
