The only thing I have to do on July 31st is drop off the rent check. We still pay for rent by check here, another one of those stripped-down things about this building that I'm used to dealing with. August 1 is Lughnasa, Lammas, the midpoint between summer and autumn in which the harvest begins. … Continue reading Lughnasa without Grain

Fuck the 4th of July. It's on my list of no-go holidays with Thanksgiving now. SCOTUS is a sacred cow that needs to be melted back into jewelry. And only in a country in which we don't put our fundamentalists in insane asylums where they belong but give them tax breaks to fleece the poor … Continue reading Fuck the 4th of July

Saturday was the last perfect spring day of the season here, and I got to enjoy it a bit. Sunday was a perfect late spring day. Monday was definitely a great day to stay in and get things done, and today, it was 100 degrees at one point. The flowers are long since gone and … Continue reading It’s The Summer Solstice of 2022

I know the wisdom is to not fuck with eclipse energy, … Continue reading It’s an Eclipse for Beltane and a Pisces Stellium

Recently, I had a dream that a fellow astrologer wanted me to join a media project to use astrology to predict the weather and establish patterns of climate change. I said no, because there's scientists who do a much better job of that, and why would you need astrology to predict the weather and establish … Continue reading Two Months’ Hiatus: Where I’m At

Happy New Year! The Sun entered Aries, making an exact inconjunct to the Moon in Scorpio, so talk about a lot of Martian energy. We are now almost a month into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the pandemic is having a quiet resurgence in China and Europe as restrictions are lifted. Oil companies have … Continue reading Happy Equinox!

The Pluto Return isn't for you or about you. Russia has declared war on Ukraine. This is not directly related to the Unites State's Pluto return...or is it? Since Putin installed Trump who gave Putin the green light, this is our problem, at least in part. And everyone who voted for Trump, supported him, and … Continue reading The Pluto Return isn’t about you and I’m taking a break
