Feeling smarter yet?
The Sun entered clever Gemini this morning at 3:12 am PDT, but I don’t feel any smarter yet. How about you? The last couple of weeks have been all about fixing things around here. When the transiting Sun squared Saturn (May 9), my back went out – as per usual …
Read MoreGetting Unstuck
Two great friends of ours just made a huge move from San Diego to London. For months, they downsized in preparation for the move; they must have had three or four yard sales, and everytime they visited us they left boxes and bags of household items. They spent weeks scraping …
Read MoreDeath of a President
Kathryn has posted her thoughts about the upcoming exact Jupiter/Saturn square and its implications in the “Presidential Death Cycle.” Planetary alignments currently indicate an increased likelihood of the death or assassination of a World Leader and as these indications coincide with the ‘Presidential Death Cycle’ and his chart is highly …

The latest in a long line of renovation nightmares: shoring up our 80-year-old garage, which has been threatening to topple into our neighbor’s yard. Since it’s the nice neighbor and not the one who hates our cats, Jonny is parlaying the recent Solar Eclipse opposed his Saturn (poor guy) to …
Read MoreFinding the Inner Puritan
Garrison Keillor, no doubt responding to transiting Saturn approaching his Sun in Leo, ruminates in Salon today * about “finding one’s inner Puritan” as the road to “weight loss and eternal happiness.” When I tell people I want to lose weight, I wish they’d look at me in slack-jawed amazement …

Saturn in Leo really IS bad news for leaders.
In light of articles such as Ed Tamplin’s, which suggests that Saturn’s recent entry into Leo spells difficult times ahead for “kings and kingdoms” (are you listening, George?), I found this story from Salon very amusing (note: to read full article you’ll need to be a Salon subscriber or sign …
