I’m now in my seventh decade of life here, this time around, and find myself still firmly rooted in the same vicinity of my birthplace, Neptune………… New Jersey, that is. The fact that planet Neptune is located near the nadir of my horoscope is a constant source of amusement. Synchronicity, you know? During High School I was on the staff of The Megaphone, the APHS newspaper. At one time I…

So, we’re in the middle of two eclipses and five planets are retrograde. You don’t really need to know much about astrology to get a sense of the epic time cycle we’re living in. It really doesn’t matter where you look there’s change, upheaval, and fluctuating conditions mostly everywhere. You can try to block it out using whatever methods/medicine/magic you have at your disposal. But relief is temporary. There really…
….and I’m still experiencing the joy of learning with every new pattern that I put together. I’ve moved on now to what’s called stitching and weaving. This pattern I focused on stitching. I don’t have the energy right now to explain in words what that means artistically . . Suffice it to say that I fell in love with the technique and choose to continue. Here’s my latest, painted to…
May I devote my life to learning. May my highest self shine forth May I uplift my soul through meditation & prayer May I join with others to share love & truth. This Sunday we’ll be practicing Metta Meditation at The Sanctuary. Metta, or loving-kindness is one of the heavenly abodes according to Buddhist thought. It’s a particular state of mind, of being, that is imbued with peace, love,…
Election shenanigans continue to heat up and Hilary’s exact birthtime is still a well kept secret, as it should be for any high-ranking Scorpio. No doubt she has had some guidance from the astrologers, we’re always lurking around the power centers, if we’re not one ourselves. Gemini Trump is a poster-child for one who is unable to ‘focus’, the exact opposite of Scorpio. It’s quite the conundrum, Gemini vs. Scorpio.…
I have so many questions for you today. I wish you were here. I miss the quiet, calm, presence we shared when we sat together. What would you make of this world in 2016? I’d love to hear what you’d say regarding the current political situation! And, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’d be sitting with at least half a dozen digital screens around you….you were pre-geek. Well,…
Yoga is looking so different today from how it was represented when I first began to define the word. I’ve heard one of my personal guru’s say many times, “Yoga has become very popular, but what is popular is not yoga.”. That said, this weeks classes will focus on heart-openings, feels really appropriate given all the planets that are in water signs right now. While in CA, I participated in…
……I’ve given myself some time & space to write/tell some about my dear Aunt Em. She is a sister to my mother, and also to Uncle Sam….he’s the one I storytold about at the Hamilton Grounds for Sculpture. Blog post here. What’s so interesting is that since I told that story in September new information has come to me that sheds more light on my connection to civil rights issues… …
This Sunday I am hoping to participate once again at the monthly Circle Of Stories. It’s open to anyone and if you want the time/place details let me know. StoryTelling is a new art/hobby/practice for me and I’ve enjoyed watching the process that I put myself through to get from inspiration to presentation. It’s usually exhausting and exhilarating both at the same time. I wonder why am I doing…
Tomorrow is the first of a series of experiential workshops using the astrological natal chart as tool for self-inquiry and self-development. It’s been quite a ride for me personally, as I have chosen to follow the stars for most of my life. These days Uranus is conjunct my mid-heaven and moving in towards a conjunction with the NN. Neptune is conjunct SN natally. Obviously, things are changing. Unknown territory looms…
