Each chakra also has a planet associated with it (as well as many other things like colors, stones, sounds, and other natural elements). Here are the planets and signs [...]

Super-Quick Space Clearing Routine
Picture this: you’re a counselor of some sort, and you have clients who come into your office for an hour, get emotional all over your nice couch, and then leave. You see a few clients in a row, and after a few hours the air in the room gets… loud. You’re more tense, more stressed, [...]
A Solar Return, and A Spirit Walk
Today is my birthday, and I’m spending it roaming around the beach at Golden Gardens here in Seattle. I’m definitely in a much happier and less eventful transit pattern than I was at this time last year. As I head into some intense work-related transits over the next two years, though, I am making a [...]
4 Free De-Stressing Audios
It’s Friday, Venus has turned retrograde for the next six weeks, and you need to chill out. And this last week was rent week (or maybe your house payment if you do the mortgage thing), so not spending money would be even better. Today I have for you a snack-sized list of audios (some downloads, [...]

Gretchen Lawlor, another local astrologer, gave a great presentation that was really useful for all different practitioners that attended: massage therapists, reiki healers, astrologers, naturopaths, and others. I came away with a lot [...]
A Bit of Vedic Astrology, and Taurus Talk (audio)
Last Thursday Melanie Farmer and I got together in the T-Mobile building again with Keesha Ewers, ARNP, to bring you half an hour of practical astrology on KKNW 1150AM. During the first fifteen minutes of the program, Melanie gives a terrific overview of the planets in the Vedic tradition and how they relate to body [...]
A Conversation with the Pisces Moon
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 [...]
