April in Sedona
I’ll be giving a short lecture at The Blast conference in Sedona on April 1, 2007. It looks like Moses has put together a really exciting lineup… a good mixture of veterans and new voices. If you’re going to be there, let me know so we can meet up.

I miss blogging, but I just don’t have enough words to go around right now. I’m working on an intense project with lots of writing that will be finished in about a week; then I’m tackling another project that will last for several months. I’ll let you know more if …

Shameless Self-Promotion.
Hear ye, hear ye: I was a contributor to the “Chart Challenge” column in the Oct./Nov. issue of the Mountain Astrologer, which should be on the newstands any minute now (subscribers should be getting their issues in the next week or two, I think). Geared toward the beginning astrologer, the …

Air conditioning, Mercury retrograde style!
Okay, so we’re bad people: we decided to buy a second air conditioner, even though we really can’t afford to run the one we already have. The heat shows no sign of letting up, and the bedroom that serves as a guestroom/office has become uninhabitable for guests (of which we’re …
Read MoreThe Pluto Monologues
If you’re in San Diego and would like to listen to me blather in person, drop by the San Diego Astrological Society‘s monthly meeting this Friday, April 14 at 7:30 pm. My lecture, on Pluto transits and ethnographic astrology, is cunningly entitled “The Pluto Monologues.” God knows how the thing …
Read MoreThe Espresso: Drink it, read it.

A wifely shout-out to my darling spouse, who designed the site: http://www.theespresso.com Sending positive thoughts …

What kind of astrologer launches a complete redesign of her website while Mercury is retrograde, you ask? This kind.
Read MoreDancing as fast as I can.
If you’re one of the many people to whom I owe an email, a report, a reading, or some variation of the same, bear with me, please. 2006 is getting off to a galloping start, and I’m dancing as fast as I can. (And mixing metaphors even faster.) Mars is …
Read More“Fetch me more mead!”
I guess it’s the Sun approaching that conjunction with Jupiter – picture a sort of Henry VIII figure sitting at a banquet table that’s groaning with food and drink, waving a turkey leg and hollering “Fetch me more mead!” Well, Sun/Jupiter or whatever, we’ve got a busy weekend coming up. …

Acceptance! Validation! Money!
I wrote a rather cranky and marginally self-serving article about how so much astrology writing is kind of boring (I don’t put it that way, exactly; but there really is no nice way to put it, is there?), and how taking an ethnographic approach might spice up our astrology writing. …
