I’m the sort of person who is a fan of finding significance in events- surely this is part of why I’ve become an astrologer. For me the new year’s season has always been personally exciting in an intellectual way, since I find the experience of tying up loose ends and taking stock of things satisfying.

Libra New Moon – Domino Effect

Posted by Shannon in Personal Anecdotes, Pluto Pluto Pluto, Transit Alerts on 17. Oct, 2009 | 2 Comments

The Libra new moon is setting up shop right on top of my natal Pluto and then rolls on to my Mercury, to top off my week of reckoning. World, forgive me if I’m impatient with frivolous crap right now, but if there’s big stuff going on? I’m all ears. I have a special craving [...]

Moon Transit Adventures

Every month, after the fact, I remember what an impact the moon has on me when it transits certain signs. And every month, before the fact, I say to myself “oh it wasn’t really that big of a deal last time… I’ll just carry on like normal.”
Hoo boy.
Normally I’m an exceedingly calm and rational person [...]

A terribly good friend and I used to have one of those pacts where if neither of us were married by a certain age, we would just marry each other. We’re both practical people, so this was a great strategy for us at the time.

After reading Jo Tracey’s emotional overdraft post on Saturday, I decided to cut my overly anxious, poverty-complex-riddled Virgo 2nd house a break and book a massage for myself. Of course, it didn’t involve spending new money- I had a credit there already that I needed to use- but the act of calling and making the [...]

Full Moons and Singing Bowls (with video)

Posted by Shannon in Metaphysics, Personal Anecdotes on 13. Jul, 2009 | 0 Comments

The recent night of July 7th was the full moon in Capricorn, as well as a much-discussed lunar eclipse. My local teahouse/metaphysical shop hosted a crystal bowl ceremony, which drew an unexpectedly huge crowd- nearly fifty people, which was almost unheard of for them. Debra Kelly arrived with a full complement of quartz crystal bowls, [...]
