I used to think that circumstances meant everything. For example, if planning a vacation, I felt that I had to pick the right dates and location, and choose the best hotel and flights, to ensure a good time. When I encountered awesome weather on vacation, I felt lucky. When it rained, I felt defeated and… Continue reading Circumstances
Do you remember that verbal spat you had (or heard) on the school playground? One, sparring with another, makes a threat. The other responds with, “You and what army?” and the first retorts, “Me, myself, and I!” Three is a magical number. It has esoteric significance. It is one of the three special numbers I… Continue reading Me, Myself, and I
[Updated July 2021. Essay on Tarot: V Hierophant, VI The Lovers, & XV The Devil] ∆ ▲ ∆ Sometimes, the best way to understand a concept more deeply is to compare it to an apparent opposite. Take for example The Lovers and The Devil. If you don’t know anything about the… Continue reading Love and Sin
About nine years ago, I received a message from spirit. What I heard was something like this: “If you let go of everything you have, you will receive everything you want.” Every now and again, I recall that message. Often, I remember it when I am a bit frustrated. I yell back at it and… Continue reading Taxi!
At 9:40 this morning (CDT), the Libra moon crossed over the North Node. [I just happened to look up today’s chart at that exact moment.] The gibbous moon is attempting to balance the conjoined energy of Mercury and Mars (who just recently traded positions in Gemini) with the vast (polluted) waters of Pisces where Neptune… Continue reading Awash
The sun is now officially in Gemini and for the first week of this new astrological month, we are alive with some very basic alignments. First up is a pair of oppositions. Tonight at 8:56 CDT, Venus, with the moon right next to her, opposes Pluto in the middle of Cancer/Capricorn. Almost exactly 24 hours… Continue reading First Week of Gemini
[Update 7/19/20210] These years, thanks to Google Maps and smart phones, we almost always know where we are (on the globe). But how often do we get lost within our spiritual journeys? For someone who stays home a lot, I’ve been on quite a journey. I moved into this house three and a half years… Continue reading Reinvention
The last Pluto-Uranus square occurs in eight days. After that, it’s over. The next square between these two won’t happen until 2073. Aspects like this mark eras. It may take some time before we fully understand this one. We now, however, have an understanding of what the Pluto-Uranus conjunction in the 60s brought. The last exact… Continue reading Pluto Rising
Yesterday I did a Tarot reading for a woman who may have a decision to make in the near future: to stay at her current job or accept an offer that is forthcoming. The first card I pulled, front and center, was the Nine of Cups—the wish card. The sign of Aquarius, which we are… Continue reading Is it a Sign or just a Coincidence?
Early this morning (CST), the sun crossed over the cusp from Capricorn to Aquarius—from an earth sign that is very active, to an air sign that seeks stability. Within the same timeframe, the moon crossed the same cusp and conjoined the sun initiating a new lunar month. In less than 24 hours from now, Mercury,… Continue reading The Water Bearer Arrives
