Sunday, October 23rd, 2011I love Halloween! It is so much fun to step out of your everyday world to don a costume and mask. You can be anyone you want to be. Then there are the parties… and don’t get me started on the candy. I just LOVE the concept, not to mention the practice, of trick or [...]
Zodiac Constellations, Astrological Signs, and Media Hoohah
Sunday, January 16th, 2011I wondered why I was getting a sudden influx of questions about the news about changing astrological signs. It turns out that a pronouncement make by the Minnesota Planetarium Society has gone viral. Seems that the MPS “discovered” that the alignment of constellations and the signs of the zodiac are off by approximately a month, [...]
Good-Bye to Summer
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010We say good-bye to summer this week. In my part of the world, the nights have noticeably cooled and gotten longer. In fact it seems that sunrise comes later and sunset, earlier every passing day. The Sun is moving quickly now as it travels through the last degrees of Virgo and with it, the last days of calendar summer. Yes, [...]
The 2010 Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Retrograde
Thursday, August 19th, 2010In the Northern hemisphere, the days are noticeably shorter. Above average temps coupled with humidity to match still blankets much of the continental US while Russia bakes and Pakistan drowns. This has been a summer to remember both meteorologically as well as astrologically. Days of high intensity are not over this season. Not by a [...]
The Sun, Leo, And Yes! The World Really Does Revolve Around You!
Friday, July 23rd, 2010The Sun enters the sign of Leo in late July of each year for a month-long stay. That is when all of the princes and princesses come out of the woodwork. They are amusing to watch; they delight us with their antics and they renew our sense of fun. All of us are princes now [...]
A Meditation on the Shortening of Daylight
Friday, July 2nd, 2010It is with poignancy, that I gaze at the setting sun at this time of year. I love the long beautiful days of early summer. And the hour of twilight is a magical time. The sky’s colors change from vibrant oranges and reds to more subdued pinks and violets. I feel kissed by the goodness [...]
What’s with the Earthquakes?
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010A new moon took place this morning at 24 degrees of Aries 27. Since new moons often trigger events, I went to check the headlines. I discovered that a deadly earthquake hit Quinghai province in China (7:49 am local time/7:49 pm ET Tuesday according to CNN). Currently the death toll is estimated at over 400 [...]
The Dark Side of the Moon
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010On Wednesday morning at 8:29 am, if you live on the East coast, there will be a full moon. It will be in the sign of Aries. Our monthly fresh start will be in the sign of fresh starts and new beginnings. But to get to the new moon, we have to complete the old [...]
Journaling to Learn Astrology – More
Sunday, April 11th, 2010After writing yesterday’s post, I realized that I had left out the very easiest approach to using a journal as a tool to learn astrology. Simply keep a journal or a diary the old fashioned way. Record your thoughts as you normally would without thought to the palnetary actors in the heavens. Then go back [...]
Year of the Tiger, Valentine’s Day and Astrological happenings for 2010
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Well, I didn’t get much advance warning… the severe snow storms blanketing the east coast prevented Kelley Rosano from giving her presentation at the Society for Metaphysical Enlightenment. A couple frantic phone calls later, and I am now the speaker. I will give Kelley’s presentation, but with my own twist. If you have been following [...]
