Sometimes I would get a call in the early morning from friends of mine who have gone out, met a guy, and wanted to know right away if he’s a good catch. Usually, I think that anyone you meet at a bar at 2 a.m. is NOT a good catch, so I was already thinking … Continue reading 21 Worst Case Scenarios in Your Partner’s Astrological Chart
In a way, inspired by Fernanda, I'm going to try something new: I am going to teach astrology through memoir.

Today and tomorrow, I have to power through all of my assignments because we are celebrating my boyfriend's birthday on Sunday, and I have to not have to hand in outlines or writing assignments that day.

I hit the reset button when I had my Saturn return back in 2009. Recreating a life isn’t an easy task, and six years later, I’m still working on it.
