Safe space, my space

I just read this article by Judith Gayle, who is as ever amazingly frank and astute:
We humans have various energy fields that overlap: physical, emotional, mental. Each has its own frequency, existing as layers in a single space. Emotions have a resonant signal; they attract more of the same, and send signals to those who [...]

Poll: Jupiter direct

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 [...]

Pluto direct: Blog stats spike!

Hey, I was totally surprised to find out that the number of hits to my blog has spiked exponentially in the past 24 hours! Mainly because some very popular and respected astrologers have recommended my blog — I’m awed and humbled. Is this an effect of Pluto direct in my 1st house?!
Thank you to all [...]

So I decided to Twitter after all

Or is the proper word, ‘tweet’?

Anyhow, I decided to sign up for Twitter just ahead of the new moon in Leo.
‘Follow me’, or whatever it is they say.
Isn’t that what the Pied Pier of Hamelin said to the townsfolk…??!

Break up songs: the Zen pick

Annie of CafeAstrology Relationships posted a list of break up songs. All great choices.
It might date me a bit, but personally, ABBA works for me, weirdly enough; especially the late-career songs mirroring the group members’ own failing relationships.
Anyway, here’s one that speaks to the Zen approach to break-ups, I think. Lyrics below the break.

To Twitter or not to Twitter?

Okay, all you Twitter-bugs out there, I’d like some advice.
Shall I Twitter or not?
Saturn in Gemini is resisting, wondering if it’ll add to the white noise (what with blogs, Facebook, email, texting, news feeds, and all) but Sun-Merc thinks it might be fun.
If you’ve had a positive or negative experience, please share in [...]

Safe space, open space

Neeti Ray’s comment about my use of the analogy of the front porch below got me thinking about how we create psychic spaces safely for others to enter, and how we behave when we are invited into another’s.
Children’s literature is full of these spaces: Winnie-the-Pooh’s 100 Acre Wood is one, Narnia is another. These are [...]

Melancholy baby

I have been weepy all week.
There. I’ve come out and said it. Ordinarily, I’d wait to process the pain before confessing to it, my Capricorn moon preferring to hide in the basement until it passes, but I have been bolstered by the courage of those like the inimitable Lucy Looking Upward to bear [...]

‘Peace is this moment without judgement’

As the Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn and buried emotions rise to the surface, I was originally intending to blog about a heartbreaking experience that happened to me recently. My natal moon is in Capricorn (trine Pluto = Hades Moon!) and Eric Francis writes about how Capricorn moons often have their hearts shattered; well, [...]

You ‘are’ who I project, but who am I?

The more I read about Venus retrograde and self-reassessment, the more my unconscious behaviour is starting to surface, and I’m using this blog, as ever, as a means of keeping it in the light.
As I summed up in a previous post, Venus retrograding in the self-centred sign of Aries is forcing us to come to [...]
