Some of you out there are keen observers of the planets. You know that mercury is retrograde and are acting accordingly. Many of you are cautious. Some out there tell you not to start new projects, and not to expect results [not what I would say, necessarily]. If Mercury retrograde is reason to pause, then… Continue reading Fish or Cut Bait

The Expansion of Beauty
In celebration of the Jupiter-Venus conjunction that is forming before our very eyes this month, I would like to take a moment to share with you beautiful examples of what this conjunction is all about. Jupiter is the planet of expansion. He is optimistic and playful. Whatever he touches grows larger, and in less than… Continue reading The Expansion of Beauty
The Prosaic Dreamer
The Journey of the Fool is from where you are to where you want to be. So knowing where you are and knowing where you want to be is helpful. But knowing where you really are is sometimes more difficult than we think. And that’s where Neptune can help. Right now, and for the next… Continue reading The Prosaic Dreamer
Pluto
[Updated August 2021. Essay on Tarot: XVII The Star] The Star represents guidance and connection with one's Higher Self, the Universe, or God/Goddess/All-That-Is. The Biblical story of the Three Wise Men following the Star of Bethlehem is a clear example of this idea. Following one's guiding light, can be experienced in more than one way.… Continue reading Pluto
The Opposition
Those of you who follow the teachings of Abraham and/or the Communion of Light are familiar with their views on contrast. Frequently, they discuss its value as a tool. Out of contrast comes creativity. This morning I would like to talk specifically about opposition. In Astrology, when two planets are very close together in the… Continue reading The Opposition

As you know, I am writing my third book with a backbone of Astrology. I am basically allowing Astrology to inspire… Continue reading Astrology Report from the Mud

She pulled the comforter up to her shoulders and then fell back onto the last of… Continue reading The Waiting Room
It’s All I Can Do
Today is January 20, 2012. 1-20-2012. It's like we’re counting, but stuck at 1-2. The T-Square I wrote of last time is as tight as it’s going to get. The Sun already squared off with Saturn, and will have its turn with Jupiter soon enough. And today the Sun made the transition from Capricorn to… Continue reading It’s All I Can Do
As the Dust Settles
Astrology is an endlessly interesting subject. For me, it is simply a study of the experience of life as we know it on this planet. It is not just about personality and the natal chart; it’s also about the seasons and cycles of life. There are personal horoscopes, but also vibrational weather. Take for example… Continue reading As the Dust Settles
The Military Brat
When one works with the Tarot the way I do, he or she works with a set of Archetypes. Archetypes are off-the-shelf personalities, situations, or challenges. Examples are the following: The hero and his quest The damsel and her distress The wise sage in the forest and his teachings The military brat and his dad… Continue reading The Military Brat
