Mars/Saturn lessons
We’re only a few days into Mars’ interminable journey through Cancer (until MAY 9, people. MAY 9! – okay, with January and February off for good behavior, but still), and already I’m feeling defensive and prickly. Someone owes me money (Mars is conjunct my natal Venus), a situation that never …

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 …

According to my SkyLog report, Friday was meant to have been something of a banner day for me: transiting Uranus was precisely conjunct my IC and opposed the MC. By rights, a day like that should have found me moving into a new job with an accompanying palatial residence, such …

Maybe it’s a byproduct of all that Virgopalooza/eclipse action from Friday – an eclipse within shouting distance of my natal Mars if you use a six-degree orb (which I wouldn’t, normally, although I’m rethinking that) – but the Aprilian Rage is very close to the surface these past few days. …
