April is all about Change!
They say “April is the cruelest month” and I think now I know why. Technically TS Eliot said it was the cruelest month in his poem “The Waste Land” which starts out as follows: April is the cruellest month, breedingLilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirringDull roots with spring rain. It’s [...]
Spring Equinox!
I’ve been a little “off the grid” lately during the past Mercury Retrograde. . . I took an almost two week vacation to Mexico, which included a one week yoga retreat, and then my boyfriend came down and we hung out on the beaches of Tulum together. It was amazing. And probably the first trip [...]
“Brave New World” Lunar Eclipse Mix tape!
How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world! That has such people in it! -Shakespeare “The Tempest” Lately I’ve felt like I’ve been catapulted into a “Brave New World” that I did not know could exist. Sometimes, when you encounter certain individuals who, let’s say, are behaving neither [...]
Strange Days Are These–the June Astrological Eclipse Forecast!
I can feel it in the air, almost. I get the feeling some kind of roller coaster is coming up ahead, and well, I’ve never been such a fan of roller coasters. I went on the Cyclone in Coney Island once and thought! I! was! going! to! die!!! I was so relieved and glad when [...]
The Changing of the Duvets!
Spring is a wonderful time to try something new, and while Spring Cleaning is all well and good, sometimes you just need a change inside your apartment to mimic the changes and new growth going on outdoors. This Fall, possibly due to several friends having bed-bud infestations, I became, well, a bit overly precautious. I [...]
The Doldrums and the Transition from Winter to Spring
One of my favourite books as a child was “The Phantom Tollbooth” and one of my favourite scenes was when the main character, Milo, gets caught in the doldrums and has to find a way to get out! The doldrums, as we are told, are a place where thinking and laughing are forbidden. The people [...]
Mercury Retrograde Alert: Roadwork ahead!
I like to think of Mercury Retrograde’s in terms of roadwork. You’re driving along through life, just doing your thing, and then a Mercury Retrograde comes up. You stumble upon those men in the orange vests with their hardhats holding “Stop” signs, or signs that tell you to detour. Eventually you’re either told to “Go” [...]
Springing into the Equinox and New Growth: March New and Full Moon Analysis!
I’ve been meaning to write about this month’s Astrology since I got back from my yoga retreat at the start of March. However, I have to tell you, I’ve been in kind of a daze for the past couple of weeks! At first I thought that it was just getting back from such a warm [...]
Creativity Dates!
After spontaneously deciding to go to Governor’s Island when the weather was so amazingly beautiful last Friday, I realized I need more, what I’d like to term “Creativity Dates” in my life! I took the ferry over on what would be the last Friday ferry service of the year, with my camera and all, and [...]
