The lovely and personable Sara Blumenfeld and I had a wonderful chat this morning. I have to admit I was quite nervous as the clock ticked up toward 10:00, but Sara's light(ness) has a way of making one feel quickly at ease. If you are so inclined, please visit her site or mine to listen… Continue reading How to See the Perfection

Interview with a Centaur
In light of my last blog post, I have a very special guest with me today. It is such a treat to have him along. Please enjoy the conversation. D: Good afternoon. Since I’m guessing that most of our reading audience is not that familiar with you, please tell us your name and… occupation? C:… Continue reading Interview with a Centaur
Castles in the Sky
The Journey of the Fool is from where you are to where you want to be. Sometimes, within a reading, I ask the querent, “What do you want?” or maybe, “If you could have everything the way you want it to be, what would it look like? What does it feel like?” Then I might… Continue reading Castles in the Sky
Fat to Fit
With spring just days away, a lot of people are thinking about weight loss. Here in Austin, we just finished with SxSW - a bit of Carnival Austin style. In response to the excess, there's a city-wide movement to cleanse. Be it creating a new habit of diet or exercise, a little inspiration can't hurt.… Continue reading Fat to Fit
Collaboration
Here in Austin, TX, it is a cold and rainy day. What better day to sit inside and read? As such, I have decided to share another excerpt from The One who Wrote for the Gods. It is from chapter 2 (2 - Two - II) and about the number two. I hope you enjoy… Continue reading Collaboration
The Waiting Room
[Post updated 7/19/2021. This is a story about Pluto, but equally applies to 7 and the Death card in the Tarot.] Janice trudged up to her luscious bed, tossed the decorative pillows onto the floor, and crawled into it. She pulled the comforter up to her shoulders and then fell back onto the last of… Continue reading The Waiting Room
Donuts and Diamonds
We all like donuts, right? How could we not? They’re sweet; they’re cute; they’re sometimes colorful. But do we love donuts? “Lucy in the sky, with donuts?!?” “Donuts are a girls best friend?!?” “Nothing says I love you like a donut?!?” Clearly one cannot replace a diamond with a donut and get the same results.… Continue reading Donuts and Diamonds
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
For Good
[Updated July 2021. Essay on Tarot: 6 of Swords] Recently, I encountered an interpretation of the 6 of Swords as: "moving away from harm." I prefer to look at it as: "moving toward something better." In numerology, Six symbolizes harmony. In this case, the emphasis is on harmonizing...and specifically using movement to restore harmony. In… Continue reading For Good
Tides
Sitting on the beach watching the waves. We notice the obvious ebb and flow right off, but is the tide receding or coming in? We look at the marks in the sand for evidence and watch what the water is doing. After a handful of waves, we see one that goes just a bit higher… Continue reading Tides
