Inspiration

I posted this back in 2006, and have never been able to discover the source. Since then, there has been a proliferation of Hellenistic and other ancient techniques which have added a great deal to the astrologer’s toolbox, but not, in my view, to the ability of the practitioner to help a client to heal the wounds of the soul and find better psychological integration for more effective lives. This is how I see the magic of astrological symbolism and hope you will find it […]

Monday’s eclipse of the Aries Sun may reveal something unexpected; perhaps a new adventure. It could also facilitate the healing of an ancient wound. (See this article for more details about the eclipse.)

I thought this beautiful piece was perfect for today’s Sunday post. Every door that closes leads to a new adventure, and we are ready. 💖

Here’s to the beginning of something new. The endless possibilities that await us. The memories yet to be made. The friends we’re yet to meet. The love we’re yet to receive. […]

I can’t remember where I found this poem from Clare Dubois, but I just love it. The shift of Pluto of Capricorn to Aquarius in the Age of Air* takes us from the solid world of Earth to a new awakening.

On the heels of the Aquarius New Moon with all its Uranian shock and awe, some of us may be looking ahead to an unknown future. Well to be fair, isn’t that all of us. 🤔  Here’s some sage advice.

My grandmother once gave me a tip:
In difficult times, you move forward in small steps.
Do what you have to do, but little by little.
Don’t think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.
Wash the dishes.
Remove the dust.

When the world is traumatized it can be difficult to distinguish the pain inside from the pain outside. With Chiron conjunct the North Node over the next couple of weeks, urging the healing of our deepest wounds so that we can be freed to pursue our destiny, this poem seemed appropriate. 💖

you worry yourself
with what’s out there
politics
crime
diseases
a thousand thousand reasons
for you not to hear
the voice inside
crying

it’s crying for
your attention
