journey with more joy!
I’ve been wanting to share these experiences with you for a while now. I think today a fine day to do so. I’ll go in reverse chronological order. The other day, while making tomato sauce, I burned my thumb. A large, piping hot dollop of sauce bubbled up and landed on my hand. By the… Continue reading Energy Healing
One week ago, Venus overtook the Earth in what is called inferior conjunction. That marks the halfway point of Venus Retrograde; she is a morning star now as shown in this pre-sunrise picture. Tomorrow, Venus reenters the sign of Pisces, which she left about a month ago. Since March 9th, Venus has been receiving a… Continue reading Venus Retrograde in Pisces
It’s been a while since I did an Astrological update, but that’s where the inspiration is taking me today…so here we go. Early, early this morning (East Coast time), the moon passed by the sun. This is the New Moon in Capricorn—the first of Winter (or Summer, down under). From the lunar calendar perspective, this… Continue reading Happy 2017!

Mars will leave Capricorn before Venus enters, and Venus will leave Sagittarius before Mercury enters. This is akin to three individuals who… Continue reading Astrological Transitions are Afoot
My intuition always leads me to the most fascinating places. In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that Jupiter stationed direct in Leo on April 8, 2015. Let’s look at that chart more closely: At the top of the chart, we have a quadruple conjunction in Aries in the 10th house: Psyche @ 16o 23’ Uranus @… Continue reading Jupiter (Ge)station
Once each year, the Earth passes directly between the two most gravitational bodies in our solar system: the sun and Jupiter. This happens today just past high noon Central Standard Time. Given the time of the occurrence, the opposition between these massive bodies occurs along the vertical axis of the chart. In my opinion, the… Continue reading Holding Back the Sea
About one year ago, I released Journey to the Temple of Ra. [There is a new-ish review on Amazon...if you're interested.] My original plan was to then release the sequel, Scribe to the Pantheon of Rome, a year later. The good new is: I am working on it. However, its not ready yet. Within Scribe, which… Continue reading Virgo New Moon 2014
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
[Updated August 2021. Essays on Tarot: XVI The Tower] The Tower often represents a time of rapid change in the world around us. The changes had been brewing inside of us, like the bubbling up of energy from inside of the earth. At the Tower, we experience the erupting forth of that energy. Old buildings… Continue reading Willingness and Intent
This morning, I was up well before dawn having woken from a moderately disturbing dream. In that dream, I was having a discussion with a woman that left me feeling a bit vulnerable. The last part I remember was that I was bleeding. I shook off the dream and decided to check out the Moon… Continue reading Used and Abused
