journey with more joy!
In my previous post, I wrote about the Astrology brewing for the summer: the big stuff (as in the background vibrations created by the Gas Giants) and the poignant stuff (the eclipses). This post is about things closer to home (the inner planets) and closer to now (Solstice and the next few days). Today is… Continue reading Solstice Alignments
Alignment, if you haven't noticed, is my new favorite subject of focus. The thing is, the pursuit of alignment can be confusing. What exactly is it? How best can one get there? You may find yourselves asking, "Am I there yet? What about now?" Alignment is experiential. It is akin to an orgasm; if you're… Continue reading Feeling Alignment
This evening, we're in for a visual treat. The full moon will rise flanking Mars. As the following diagram shows, look ESE around sunset. If skies are clear, you'll easily spot them. Last night, I was able to see Mars glowing brightly about ten degrees below the waxing gibbous (nearly full) moon. The above diagram… Continue reading Moon-Mars Rise
Today is 11/22. By some measures, it is the most interesting day of the year. For one, it is a double master number. For two, it is the transition from the most internally intense sign to the most externally expansive sign. In one view, it is when we get flipped inside out. It is where… Continue reading Us versus Them
Back in February, I mapped out the relationship between the 2013 Mercury retrograde periods and the movements of Saturn. In two days, Mercury’s last retrograde of 2013 will come to an end when he stations direct. Of course, it will take until 11/27/13 for Mercury to finish his last sweep over previously trodden territory before… Continue reading Mercury in 2013: The Whole Story
When the salt touches your wound and causes you pain, will you condemn the salt? All of the oceans are teeming with salt. Will you condemn them too? Or can you begin the journey toward appreciating the salt for reminding you that you have a wound that has not yet healed and may be something… Continue reading Salt
October is such an interesting month. The first days can feel very much like lingering summer. Back in the old days, when I lived in New England, mid-October was decidedly autumn with leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. And in recent years, late October has looked an awful lot like mid-winter in some… Continue reading Murky Waters
Right now, we are in the middle of a triple conjunction in Scorpio including Venus, Saturn, and the North Node of the moon. The North Node is not an object and is thus invisible, but both Venus and Saturn are visible and can be seen sitting next to each other just above the western horizon… Continue reading Crossing the Bottom of the Sky
Have you ever had a three-way? Have you ever wanted to? Well hold that thought. 😉 OK, are you back? Now that I have your attention again (after your mind wandered for a moment), the kind of three-way I’m about to discuss is not quite what you were thinking. Yes, a dynamic duo is in… Continue reading A Dynamic Duo
My typical morning routine is this: I get up out of bed, head to the kitchen to make coffee, and then take my warm brew into the office to more fully wake staring at the computer screen. Lately, I get right into projects I’ve been working on. This morning, on my way back to the… Continue reading Sleep is a Battlefield
