It’s in the Cards

“Will I succeed? Is it in the cards?” I can’t decide what is more interesting: the Tarot itself or how people react to them. Some people do not want to make the smallest decisions without consulting the cards. Others think they are the work of the Devil. [I actually had someone say that to me… Continue reading It’s in the Cards

Lawn Mowers and Chainsaws

On March 5th, Jupiter stationed direct in Cancer. This is significant for a few reasons. First, this sets us up for the Grand Cross in April. With Jupiter moving forward, all planets are now applying—that is to say that they are all moving toward aspects with each other. The tension and pressure…so to speak…will grow… Continue reading Lawn Mowers and Chainsaws

Breaking Out

My parents live in New England and they often say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” Texas winters are very much like that too. Yesterday, the low was 26. Today, the high is supposed to be 79. I equate Astrology to the weather and if you don’t like the way things have… Continue reading Breaking Out

A Beating Heart

The (Zodiac) month of idealized love is over, and now we are within an expression of love that is very much human. In Alignment and Synchronization, I wrote how Aquarius—the water bearer—is the ruler of the 11th house—the house of ideals and aspirations. By this association, it is perfectly appropriate for Valentine’s Day, the celebration of… Continue reading A Beating Heart

An Orienting Force

A thought about Astrology that frustrates me is the idea that good times and struggles are fated...determined by the stars. We all hope we are destined for greatness and fear that we are destined for failure. Well one day last week, in response to my frustration, I heard this message from spirit: Astrology does not… Continue reading An Orienting Force

Sensitivity

The word sensitive has two connotative meanings. Consider the following two sentences: My new camera is so sensitive, I can take pictures in the dark without a flash. My girlfriend is so sensitive right now, everything I say sets her off. When someone is sensitive, they have an acute ability to perceive. When they are… Continue reading Sensitivity

A Marriage vs A Sacred Marriage

Those who oppose the idea of gay marriage state the claim that marriage is (and only is) a union between "a man and a woman". They then claim that marriage is sacred and must be preserved. I hate to tell you this if you don’t already know, but a Sacred Marriage has never been something… Continue reading A Marriage vs A Sacred Marriage

Mercury Retrograde in Air

It has been a long time since Mercury has gone backward in an Air sign. The last time was September 2009 when Mercury retraced his steps in Libra. Mercury works best with Air. Air is not just about thought, but also communication. In response to a friend's Facebook post this morning, I found myself writing… Continue reading Mercury Retrograde in Air

1 Step Forward…2 Steps Back

Once again, we find ourselves with Mercury creeping backward in a water sign. Thankfully, we only have six days of it this time. The remainder of the retrograde will be in the air sign Aquarius. Eleven months ago, Mercury stationed direct and ended his retrograde period at 5o Pisces 38’ on March 17, 2013. This… Continue reading 1 Step Forward…2 Steps Back

Alignment and Synchronization

The other day, I received a message from spirit about Astrology: Astrology is not just about space (alignment); it is also about time (synchronization). Two planets that align are related by their position, but two events that occur close together in time are just as significantly related via synchronization…even if they are unrelated by position.… Continue reading Alignment and Synchronization
