Mercury Retrograde. The very words strike terror into the breasts of the initiated, particularly those who don’t have the option of holing up in the Himalayas and have to navigate the workplace—wherein they can expect delays, last-minute demands, computer gltiches,...

Sometimes I think about the story of Odysseus and his men sailing past the Sirens. Do you know the song those girls on the rocks were singing? “You’re the Only One Who Can Save Me…” It was dangerous then, and it’s dangerous now—as well as being completely false....

I owe an enormous debt to Katharine De Jersey. My Aunt Emily, who felt I should read it, gave me her autobiography, Destiny X 6: An Astrologer’s Casebook. And an astrologer was born. De Jersey (1913-2005) was a well-known “celebrity” astrologer, who practiced in...

This hardly qualifies as a blog post: it is a purely personal statement of re-purpose, issued as Venus (affection and gratitude) and Chiron (wounding and subsequent healing)–traveling together lately, but soon to separate–transit my Midheaven. I have had...

2017 will be better. The old year is dying; and with it, a number of people we have loved—seemingly more this year than ever before. There is a shift—not the much-vaunted THE Shift—a tilt in the axis, a new hollow ache in the heart where optimism used to lodge. It...
