A quick announcement: I’ve been elected to the board of the Washington State Astrological Association for 2010-2011. My position was reconfigured to roughly equal technology/marketing wonk, so we’re planning to bring a lot of exciting new online ventures and digital media to the astrological community this year. Stay tuned for a new website rollout as [...]

Ask the Astrologer #8 – Eclipses
On Thursdays I answer astrology questions I’ve received through email or the search bar. If you have a question, contact me and yours might be answered next! Gary writes, Does the lunar eclipse on 26 June have special significance for me? I simply want to ask, “What does this mean?” Gary was kind enough to give [...]
Esse Quam Videri
To be rather than to seem. I had stopped by Simone’s blog a little earlier and her tagline caught my eye. This is at the heart of why I’m an astrologer, I think. Astrology, to me, is a tool. We can use it to slip beneath the surface of ourselves, or the appearance of a [...]
Soul Mates and Kindred Spirits (audio)
Oh, karma. There are just some people in our lives whom we’ve known all our lives, or maybe even longer than that. This past week I talked with Keesha about soul mates and kindred spirits, the western idea of “the one”, and why good marriage partners aren’t necessarily those “fated” people in your life (I [...]
The Creative Initiation, 2010
Happy summer, everyone- it was official as of 4:30 this morning, when the sun moved into the sign of Cancer. There’s been a lot of talk in astrological circles about this summer’s planetary conditions; big, BIG changes are afoot. And a lot of astrologers have really worked themselves into a lather: dramatic predictions, dramatic names—The [...]
Time to Migrate…
Hi everyone, Sorry for the slow posting this week- I’ve had some server issues and have decided to switch hosting. I should have it all taken care of in the next day or so. I don’t anticipate any downtime for the site here, but I’ll let you know if I need to take it offline [...]
Gemini New Moon, and a bit of tarot (audio)
On Healthy You! Radio last week, Keesha Ewers and I talked at length about lunar cycles and how to work with new moon timing. It really makes things easier when you’re moving in the same direction as all the energy out there, rather than swimming against it! Later in the show we took a couple [...]
Ask the Astrologer #7 – Moon Transits and Lunar Returns
On Thursdays I answer astrology questions I’ve received through email or the search bar. If you have a question, contact me and yours might be answered next! What’s the best way to deal with moon transits? The moon moves very quickly compared to all the other planets—13 degrees a day—so individual moon transits are very short. [...]
The 21.5.800 Project.
Late last night I stumbled upon Bindu Wiles and her lovely site, with a project that instantly fired up my creative juices. The idea is that for 21 days, you practice some kind of yoga for 5 days of each week, and write 800 words a day. How marvelous is that? I had already written a [...]
The Fall of Helen Thomas
The controversial remarks veteran White house correspondent Helen Thomas made last week have ignited a storm of coverage, and her sudden retirement from Hearst on Monday brought a decisive but unsatisfying end to her unparalleled career. The retirement announcement itself seemed more like a last-ditch attempt to exercise some control over the chain of events, [...]
