So I’m looking at the news and following the COVID coverage wondering if my Jack London mini-adventure is going to come to fruition or if I should wait until the fall. The adventures may have to be in my head and my starry nights splayed across my television. But at least I'll live. Metabolically, I'm … Continue reading North Node Aversion and South Node Indulgence

There is No Hollywood pedo ring and your paranoia and lack of reasoning is making it harder for the rest of us to help actual children.
I don’t know what to say other than when you’re crying wolf over Twitter and conflating jokes about child abuse with child abuse, you’re making things worse. I can’t think of anyone among my colleagues who work in child protection who are into quanon thing. Granted, we’re all educated, and we’ve all similar training, and … Continue reading There is No Hollywood pedo ring and your paranoia and lack of reasoning is making it harder for the rest of us to help actual children.
The Shy Astrologer
One day, she'll become a mighty doe whos runs straight into your car one winter night. I start draft after draft of posts on various topics. Some are purely about astrology.

Astrology Services Are Back
You can sign up for them here. Why? Looks like we need each other. I've been asked about offering services a lot lately, and I've missed it. These are troubled times, and people are looking for guidance. I offer three basic types of services: astrocoaching, sessions, and analysis. But I do everything. Pretty much. Astrocoaching … Continue reading Astrology Services Are Back

Owasco Lake, NY. Can you see the other side? Between this post and the last are many, many drafts of posts about various things, like how weird and difficult it was at times to actually move to my new place, my current foot sprain that is forcing me to spend the 4th of July weekend … Continue reading Fugitive Umbrellas Has a New Home
Seven Weeks.
So through most of high school, I was into Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel, even his later stuff when he was just having a perpetual mid-life crisis because that’s how he makes money. But I didn’t know, because I was a teenager in the nineties and I didn’t know about all the life that … Continue reading Seven Weeks.
Back in Business
Two things: I am definitely going to start offering astrological services again. Services and pricing to come. Second thing: Six weeks in, I am now used to being alone. This is what it is, and one book has closed, the ink on the last page dried and set, and a brand new one, gleaming white … Continue reading Back in Business

I’m tired of mourning. This is work, and the more work I do, the more work I discover has to be done. I had to go back to work full time because I can’t afford to stay on bereavement even though I could really use the time to sort his affairs. But that is loss … Continue reading One Month Plus In

Grief; Transits in Quarantine
The silver lining to this is that I am pretty good at being alone anyway. I actually don’t mind sheltering in place since I can leave when I want to. Quarantine was awful. Not having a choice as to whether I stay in the apartment or not. Rick’s death. The process of announcing and dealing … Continue reading Grief; Transits in Quarantine
