I seem only good for posting polls these days. The last time these two titans made contact was in 2001 (a momentous year everyone remembers), and Saturn opposed Pluto. At the time, Pluto also opposed my natal Sun-Saturn on my Saturn return (which I’ve mentioned here and here).
This time, on 15 [...]

Poll: Neptune direct — sleep, and perchance to dream?
Posted in Astrology, Poetry, Wonder on 5 November 2009 | 5 Comments »
I don’t often take naps. When I do, it feels like a luxury. And I definitely felt like one today after a very long few months, and took it. A cue from Neptune direct (see also) perhaps, to give the psyche a break, a rest, and a chance to recuperate. Dreams were strange too.

Poll: Jupiter direct
Posted in Astrology, Blogging on 12 October 2009 | 7 Comments »
I remain phenomenally busy through October, but thought I should mark the week Jupiter goes direct, since Jupiter rules my chart and I’m badly looking forward to a break after a v.e.r.y. l.o.n.g. s.u.m.m.e.r.
For a list of what else is happening astrologically this week, have a look at Lynn Hayes’ post and Pat Paquette’s on [...]
The mad woman leaves the attic

My Sun-Mercury-Saturn in Gemini and Moon in Capricorn frequently struggle to understand insanity. I don’t mean clinical insanity (though maybe it’s not exempt!), but the calculated insanity imposed upon moderate people — crazy-makers, rather than crazy people per se. Just look at all the loonies shouting and crying out against Obama’s ‘death panels’ and ’socialism’. [...]
Poll: Saturn-Uranus opposition
Posted in Astrology, tagged poll, Saturn-Uranus opposition on 13 September 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have a half-written post on the Saturn-Uranus opposition about to make its third pass in this cycle, but as I’m travelling from tomorrow for 2 weeks, I might not be able to finish and post it by the 18th.
So here’s a poll of what you might be expecting. Share some stories on Twitter or [...]
Healing Pluto problems: Obsidian order, Walnut way

If you are currently experiencing the Pluto station at a sensitive point on your chart — it is currently square my natal Pluto, and opposite my natal Venus — it’s likely you’re feeling just a bit taut, like waiting for a shoe to fall, but not knowing if it’s going to be made of soft [...]
Healing Pluto Problems
Posted in Astrology, Awareness, Compassion, Death, Desire, Fear, Meditation, tagged book, honesty, Pluto, Pluto in Capricorn on 7 September 2009 | 6 Comments »
In honour of Pluto going direct on 11 September 2009, I thought I’d share some thoughts about Donna Cunningham’s book, Healing Pluto Problems, whose title I’ve borrowed for the title of this post.
I picked up this book on Neith’s recommendation. It is not as heavy-going as Judy Hall’s Hades Moon, which I’ve written about [...]
Relocation charts
Posted in Astrology, Thinking, Travel, tagged invisibility, relocation chart on 6 September 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’d always been vaguely aware of astrocartography but never thought about it much even though I now live something like 6,000 miles away from where I was born, until Neith suggested I should do a relocation chart for myself. The results were fascinating.
A relocation chart basically casts your natal chart for the place of [...]
Why don’t we have a name for it yet?
Posted in Astrology, Thinking on 15 August 2009 | 6 Comments »
As the Sun in dramatic Leo opposes the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron conjunction in Aquarius, the astrological show of 2009 in spite of all the others, I find myself wondering why we haven’t found a name for it yet.
Months after its first pass (in May, I think), we are still reeling from its effects and wondering about [...]
No Country for Old (Wo)men

I have transiting planets aspecting every angle as well as a few personal planets at the moment, and this is pretty much how I feel today.

Poll: Are people feeling better yet?
Posted in Astrology, Thinking, tagged eclipse, poll on 12 August 2009 | 3 Comments »
As we leave the crazy summer of eclipses behind us, we are reminded that their effects will be felt for weeks/months/years to come. Nevertheless, I feel the mood lifting slightly, if only like one surveying the rubble after a storm!
However you’re feeling, enjoy the lull now. In September, we will have the Saturn-Uranus opposition to [...]
