About

A blog and an exercise in nostalgia. For about 20 years, I would go to an astrology meeting at 10 am where we would drink lots of coffee, read each other's charts (and anyone else who came by). Well, we can now drink coffee at anytime and stare at our computer screens, snug and warm with a bagel at our side.

Cruel Summer

Sunday 28 June 2009 at 6:46 pm What is it about this week? So many people dying, so much suffering this week. I lost two icons this week: Michael Jackson (I was 13 when "I want You Back" came out), and the Farrah Fawcett (my brother had a poster of her on his wall). I didn't mind it when icons of the 50's and even early 60's went, but this is cutting it a bit close. Michael could have been by baby brother, Farrah my big sister.

Everybody's Going on Welfare

Monday 24 November 2008 at 08:37 am My theme of the day: "Everybody's Going on Welfare". What happens to the working class when there's no working class working? When white and blue collars both share the same park bench in the middle of the day? I think we are about to find out.

How many of us are counting the days until Obama takes over? Forget counting down to Christmas-more people are looking to see if there is really is a Barack Obama, and will he come down the chimney January 20th in fine style.

Times like these make me grateful I'm in a Credit Union, and that my mortgage is in a Community Bank. Credit Unions weren't allowed to get in all of the crazy stuff by both their members and the rules of the game, and Community Banks are far more conservative and skeptical. If you still have a checking account worth something, thank them for staying out of the rigged game. Remember all of the cash lures the big banks were making to get you to sign on? What is it like to find out that not just your account is gone, but the bank vanished too-and the remains are to be found in a financial institution in the Caribbean. You can't afford to go on Vacation to the next town over, but your money and the banker holding it is lying in a fortified beach house on an unmarked island. Fortified, because seven million angry investors would storm the place if they ever found out where it is. Of course, given the fact that the Feds are left holding the bag, they may get there before the crowd-soldiers get restless if they don't get paid. I'm not finished yet...

Abundance Prayer

Wednesday 19 November 2008 at 2:55 pm
ABUNDANCE PRAYER

1. I am always in the flow of universal abundance and all my needs are met.
>
> 2. I call forth abundance, prosperity, health, and wellbeing as my natural birthright and the birthright of all humanity and I manifest them abundantly.
>
> 3. I am blessed with the gift of psychic energy and I use it to multiply and pass on the blessings I receive.
>
> 4. My wealth is in alignment with the Universe and working for the highest good for all humanity.
>
> 5. I gratefully receive my birthright of abundance and prosperity on all levels of my being.
>
> 6. Through love, all things are healed and blessings flow freely.
>
> 7. I consciously choose the focus of my intention, manifesting my highest good in the physical world

AMEN…let it be spoken, let it be done.

I'm a strong believer in metaphysical stuff...affirmations and denials and positive thinking. One benefit for me is that I always feel there is a solution to my problem-not always the one I anticipated, but there is one if I search for it. I'm at least a nominal member of the Unity Church-while I now am a member of the "Church of the Restful Sabbath", I still read the stuff I have gotten from them from time to time.

Putting Out My Shingle

Thursday 13 November 2008 at 10:46 pm I've done charts for twenty years. While not making a living at it, I have gained a great deal of understanding through doing them. I've also have done chart/calendars as well.
What it is, is that I take your birth data and do your chart, and transits to it for an entire year and do so in a Calendar Format. For a personal chart, no calculations ($10 each) With interpretation, $20. The calendar, $30. Knowing yourself and your future is worth the money. Keep it simple-just hit the donation button and e-mail me your details at this address

Inauguration Day-Obama's First Term

Tuesday 11 November 2008 at 07:04 am
The first thing that you notice if you are an astrologer is that big Aquarius stellium in the tenth. (For you amateurs, stellium is four or more planets in conjunction). Stelliums impart a great deal of intensity, and in the tenth, public standing is a near obsessive focus of attention for the incoming Obama Administration.

Obama's November

Thursday 06 November 2008 at 9:10 pm
What's next for Obama? There is two months before Obama officially takes the reigns, but still there is a lot to watch for, because these two months will set the tone of the entry into office. It will be interesting to see how Obama makes the transformation from Senator to President?
This is a good time to introduce a trick that I learned from my mentor. This tool allows you to just look at an ephemeris and see if there are any transits for something or someone during a month. So just what is going on with Obama this week? Example:
November 2008 Ephemeris
Just looking down the Ephemeris list and comparing numbers with the list you have created, we see no big transits among the heavies. Mostly Mars, which is fitting for a contest already ended. On the 10, Mars sextile Mars, square Saturn, he may have the opportunity to push against a frustrating obstacle, on the 13, we may see a flash of unexpected temper that is really not in his best interests. On the 14, he may be more than usually personally assertive, on the 17 effort leads to expansive opportunities, the 24th, an old wound may stir up some emotion, the 25th, an explosive burst of temper and a bit of institutional struggle. I'm not finished yet...

Pumpkin Week

Sunday 26 October 2008 at 07:04 am pumpkin and corn


The week before Halloween is Pumpkin Week, the week when the streets explode with orange-orange leaves, bright orange plastic pumpkins, and the muted orange of the real ones, candy corn, and sometimes orange traffic cones as last-minute road work gets completed. People either shiver with delight or the cold as winter makes its first nippy arrival. Every four years, the shiver falls on the losing party in the Presidential Election, the first sign that the next term will be another one out in the cold.

So what does Pumpkin Week have in store this time? For America, it's transiting Neptune inconjunct natal Neptune by transit. America is getting a second look at all old fearmongering and is having to adjust to new realities and discarding the old fears. Tinfoil is the style as people contemplate missing ballots and misprogrammed electronic voting machines.
Obama's has transiting Neptune in the first, so much of the fearmongering is about him and his "mysterious" past (re his birth-First house) He supposedly has "mysterious origins". He is also the target of all of the Neptunian fearmongering as well. Fortunately he's level-headed, so the effect makes him more glamorous and not fearful.
Sunday 10/26, Venus conjunct Obama's Point of Fortune: While points aren't planets, it is a sensitive place. Obama gets good luck today.
October 10/31-Mars squares ASC-Obama should be careful how he handles some of the more tifoil hatty material he may hear today.

So there is going to be shivers-hopefully just from the cold this week reflecting off of the roofs, and not from the many tinfoil hats people will be wearing instead of good old fashioned wool.

Sagittarius Week

Tuesday 30 September 2008 at 09:49 am SagittariusWritten Last Year, I hate to have been right on some of this stuff.

Welcome to Sagittarius Week

Starting with the New Moon in Sagittarius, this is a powerful week for Sagittarian energy.New Moons are the beginning of the monthly energy cycle. At the New Moon cosmic and emotional energy is concentrated, therefore, it's a good time to begin projects. What kind of projects? Sagittarius likes to grow and explore, so this is a good time to start those projects that expand the mind, such as reading philosophy, or meditation. Actually, any time is good for meditation, but this time is excellent for dealing with the more devotional, philosophical kind of meditation. This may also be a good time to explore higher education or to learn a foreign language.

This beginning of the monthly cycle has once again brought us news about religion, international affairs, higher education and speculation. There's the climate conference in Bali, the granting of the Nobel Prize to Al Gore, the upcoming withdrawal of troops from Basra by the British, the international effects of the housing market decline, and the shootings at Ted Haggard's church in Colorado.

Next comes Jupiter and Pluto combined in Sagittarius, (1:26 pm EST, 28 Sagittarius December 11, 2007, the culmination/end of a 12-year cycle of great expansion and high optimism. When Pluto and Jupiter last conjoined back in 1995 it was in Scorpio, and it ended/culminated a period of economic contraction where what grew was mostly decay: the drug trade, and the rot of the end of Communism. There were positive things: the quiet growth in reproductive technology, the exploration of the human genome, the growth of hospices. What then began was a great deal of speculation and expansion, a growing interest in international matters fueled by terrorism and the internet. That period is ending, and a more pragmatic (Capricorn) approach is coming to many matters. Suddenly the rhetoric of fanaticism is cooling down, atheism at least gets a hearing, and people now realize just how diverse we really are and that we need to at least try to get along for the sake of the planet. Another end of a cycle. I'm not finished yet...

Love of Latte

Monday 29 September 2008 at 9:32 pm Coffee with a cookieCoffee and I have long and happy memories together. It first started on those cold mornings I had to take the bus to high school, standing outside while cold winds would sneak under my bubble coat and chill my stockinged legs. It sustained me while I walked across the Quadrangle in college on my way to breakfast on cold chilly mornings. When we had our 10 am astrology meetings under an outside shelter and the wind would pick up a bit, and we needed to get the eyes open and the fingers warm, coffee kept us going and was a bridge that got us to noon.

So I like coffee. Good coffee. Fancy coffee like lattes andmocha, with a bagel and lox. I'm not finished yet...

» Free Astrology Software Astrolog Freeware is great for a novice. You can do charts without a great deal of financial outlay for someone who just wants to learn and observe.
Astrologis the famous freeware that has all of the needed functions without a great outlay. The drawback is it's interface: it needs to be more user-friendly. But it has all of the more complex calculations that an astrologer can use for free, such as fixed stars and progressions. In a later post, I will show you an example of its output.   No comments |
» Introducing Astroworld This is one of the two sites that I hang out heavily. It's a blog, but it's chatty and conversational, not pedantic and slow. We have a conversation there. We talk about everything: politics, children and grandchildren, organic food, whatever, while following the changes in the world. Sally's blog used to be part of a site calledMyDD (Due Diligence). It was the astrology section. When MyDD converged into more of a site that kept track of elections, Astroworld hived off into an independent site.   No comments |
