I believe it was Michael Herkes, the GLAM Witch, who has coined this phrase and deserves all the credit. Read his books. We all need Lilith to liberate us from the Karenization of the occult. Sometimes I feel like I should soften my stance on organized religion, usually because of coming across people who have … Continue reading Karencraft and the Karenization of Astrology

Dispositors: Creating Full Pictures By Going Around the Zodiac
While I set out to create a blog to teach astrology, I realize that I either failed to do so or didn't create the expected blog. I don't think I intended to create a blog that synthesized astrology into daily life and thought, but I guess that's kind of what I've done. There are so … Continue reading Dispositors: Creating Full Pictures By Going Around the Zodiac
You were not born on a cusp.
No, really. You weren't. I'll stop you right there and repeat: You. Were. Not. Born. On. A. Cusp. You were not born on a cusp. Period. I don't care if your birthday is October 23rd, November 22, or December 22nd and for the love of the universe: Virgos, stop telling me that you were born … Continue reading You were not born on a cusp.
Eros and Psyche in Composite
So here I am on a cool, rainy night, trying to figure out how to get kimchi bokkeumbap delivered to me that 1) doesn’t cost $25, and 2) comes with banchan and not just some weak wae-guk kimchi.

Do Guys Hate Astrology?
I have dealt with the backlash and the comments myself, even though at this point in my life, I’m not asking for anyone’s birth data or drawing up charts immediately. After 20 years, I pretty much can wait a little bit before deciding if a compatibility chart is needed, and I know that I could … Continue reading Do Guys Hate Astrology?
Astrologers are All Doing It: Crushing on (or Falling in Love With) an Astrological Chart
UPDATE: This article has hit some very particular nerves with some very particular people, including a couple hasty, self-righteous ones who think I'm talking about my own clients.

I'm talking about the very real thing I address later in this article, which is one of the reasons I warn … Continue reading Astrologers are All Doing It: Crushing on (or Falling in Love With) an Astrological Chart
Astrology is for Atheists
How can an atheist be an astrologer? How can I be hanging out in the threshold of the woo closet under the mistletoe and still just say there's no higher power? Isn't this all part of the claptrap of belief? You can live without belief in higher powers and still be an astrologer. Atheism and … Continue reading Astrology is for Atheists
Corona Virus, Equinox: Happy Aries Season!
Happy Equinox Plague! Hiding, or breaking out? So I was wondering what the big Capricorn energy was going to bring, but I didn’t guess pandemic. Yet, with Saturn at the 29th degree of Capricorn, it held on desperately, and the evil witch cast her spell upon the world, and it was all sealed up until … Continue reading Corona Virus, Equinox: Happy Aries Season!
Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio!
Down the lonely dark road of your mind, you walk aimlessly, wondering how you got there, and what's waiting for you at the other end of the light.
