On a constant learning curve, as indicated by my blog’s title, I frequently come across an artist unfamiliar to me, then attempt to learn something. One such artist: Carl Andre. After some research I discovered that he’s an interesting subject astrologically, so…To demonstrate that he clearly represents a Virgo-type artist, I’ve used the words of other writers, who have no interest in astrology
Never move house under mercury retrograde! Well, you don’t always have a lot of choice, I didn’t. I’m currently down at the local library with just a few minutes left to type this. British telecom massively messed up my connection, connecting my new neighbour instead of myself to my new number and then insisting there was nothin g wrong with my connection - which there wasn’t, exception the connection wasn’t mine!
After 2 hours in the public phone box, I said I’m not getting off till you sort this, and 2 hours later I got off the phone with it sorted!
I don’t get broad band till next week, though, I could probably get compensation but I can’t be bothered.
Meanwhile, not only is the UK going through a Uranus opposition, David Cameron will continue to have Uranus hard aspecting his angles through…
“People are going to quit getting Tarot readings from me,” I tell my husband with a sigh. “I keep telling them things they don’t want to hear.”
“That’s not a very good business model,” he says matter-of-factly. I’m married to Captain Virgo. He’s very helpful that way.
Today’s Tarot is Temperance, from the Zodiac Tarot. Temperance is XIV, major arcana. As you may recall, the Zodiac Tarot focuses exclusively on the card’s astrological associations; majors are assigned either a sign or a planet. On those with signs like this one, a place is pictured. As Sagittarius is a mutable sign, the scene is sunset. And of course, what Sagittarius wouldn’t be happy with this illustration of a trip underway?

As an ex-pat, I am completely bemused by the British political and public obsession with sexuality and the scandal that goes with it. I say amazed, because in the Netherlands, politics and sexuality are quite simply separate affairs. In the Netherlands, as long as someone does their job well and doesn’t break the law, sexuality [...]
Today I have an entire hour of Metaphysical Thursday to share with you! I talk with guest host Donna Frindt about the value of getting an astrological reading, getting beyond sun signs, the new moon in Leo, and more current events. At the 34-minute mark we talk at length about the moon cycle, and using the phases of the moon as a guide for your month.
We talk to callers throughout the hour about relationships, visits from the in-laws, navigating major life changes, and finding your place in the world.
I’m working from South Dakota in this segment so the audio gets a little sketchy occasionally, but we have a great time and share a lot of great information. Enjoy this super-sized show!
Healthy You! Radio – 12 August 2010
The Moon moves into Cancer overnight (US) and we wake up to a grand cross.
That said, the Moon catches support from a variety of players and it’s just not as bad or stressful as it was in August.
Also note Venus and Mars are conjunct in Libra in a tight trine to Neptune. This has got to be good for love and other partnerships. In some cases, a glass of wine eases things.

Looking back and reviewing my personal experience of the journey from the Capricorn to the Cancer Eclipse this year provides me with a slightly different perspective, born from a deeper understanding and a more comprehensive overview of the events that have transpired and affected my thought process considerably, than when I was traveling along that path. My consciousness would indeed undergo a sensitizing process as heralded by the Sabian Symbol for the Capricorn Solar Eclipse from January this year, in particular so, because this Eclipse formed a conjunction with my SAD Mercury in Capricorn. So, the structuring of my mentality and forming of my mind that’s been going on for the last 25 years in tandem with my need to expand my mental horizons, extend my connections and enrich my perception (natal Mercury in Sagittarius) received a major impetus that influenced the…
I explore projection in relationship relative to Saturn’s current transit through Libra, the sign of the other. Birgitta asks about finding fulfilling work and Beth asks about what relationship karma she needs to deal with while Saturn transits Libra (with both Pluto and North Node in that sign).
The term “ship of fools”, as an allegory, harks back to medieval times when it was the custom to rid society of “undesirables”: the mentally ill and other outcasts, by gathering them into a boat or cart and having them taken away. The origin of the descriptive phrase appears to be a book by Sebastian Brandt, 15th century German humanist and satirist. His allegorical poem/story “Das Narrenschiff”…
