I’m finally crawling out of my cave now. This summer’s Creative Initiation adventure has been affecting us all in different areas of life, and for me it involved my husband and I uprooting from Florida for good, and coming back here to the Northwest. After a 4400-mile road trip that got longer as we traveled, [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Hippie Talk
As I was talking with Keesha the other day during our Uranus in Aries set, it occurred to me that I have a very reflexive reaction to using a lot of regular personal-growth or new-ager talk. When I back away from certain terms, it’s a visceral thing for me… more like, “Yuck! Back off the [...]
Friday Time Clock #5 – Deconstruction Edition
The Time Clock started as an offshoot of Havi Brooks’ nifty weekly check-in ritual, now known as the Friday Chicken, over at The Fluent Self. After years in the kitchen, and because we’re all about the march of time here, my weekly review involves gratuitous photos of clocks and often notes about food. If you [...]
NPR Pledge Drive Meets Scorpio Seattle
Listening to the NPR pledge drive pleas over the past week, I kept hearing the local announcers say something that made me think back to Amy Herring’s portrait of Scorpio Seattle. To make your pledge give us a call at (206)543.9595. Or, if you really don’t want to talk to anyone over the phone right [...]
Friday Time Clock #4: Night Final Edition
The Time Clock started as an offshoot of Havi Brooks’ nifty weekly check-in ritual, now known as the Friday Chicken, over at The Fluent Self. After years in cooking, and because we’re all about the march of time here, my weekly review involves clocks and usually kitchen notes. If you want you can join me [...]
An Oddball Wedding Date – Part 3
This is the final post in a series on choosing a wedding date using astrology. Part 1 covered the general factors taken into consideration, and I detailed the process of selecting a date in Part 2. Today we’ll look at finding the best time of day for an event, using the potential charts as a [...]
An Oddball Wedding Date – Part 2
Yesterday I talked about my cram session for choosing a date suitable for El Pisces’ and my wedding. A quirky relationship quite naturally leads to an odd date, so I wasn’t too concerned about the ceremony falling outside of the normal Friday-or-Saturday-evening window most couples require… people already think we’re weird and a Wednesday afternoon [...]
Mars Retrograde’s Parting Gift
In my earlier post on Mars retro, I was a little apprehensive about going about my day-to-day work while Mars was backing up over my ascendant. I have Mars in Leo by birth so I’ve been getting knocked around for the last couple months just due to that, never mind the angle. But, thinking that [...]
