Leo New Moon: Walking the Circle
Perhaps this Leo New Moon calls for a new glyph for the Sun – not a closed circle with a dot in the middle, but rather a labyrinth. We set forth in life on a walk through this labyrinth, and no matter which course we take, we’ll inevitably end up precisely where we’re meant to be.

Eclipses in Action
Sometimes, change is a release; we let go of the bad lover, the fear of a good man, the dream of the perfect home, the unease over letting a pilot take control of our well-being.

Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius: Quilting
The Moon’s North Node in Sagittarius or the ninth house demands that, like a confused college undergraduate, we must choose a major emphasis for our life’s curriculum.

Read MoreA MoonShadow of My Former Self
In the past couple of days, I’ve become preoccupied with two things: snacks, and Airstream trailers. The former is a textbook response to a looming Solar Eclipse (tonight at 7:35 pm PDT) in the food-loving sign of Cancer. And as for the Airstream… well, they’re so darned cute, cozy, and …

Fault Lines
Oh yeah. Eclipses. They rattle us because they remind us where the bones are buried. They haunt our sensitive spots and tap on the trick knees of our psyches with the tiny ball peen hammer of fate until eventually – reflexively – we shoot right through the ceiling.
