Who Am I?

The Unseen World

There is a lot that stays out of our awareness. It’s simple enough to see this when we consider the consciousness of other animals and people. What would it be like to smell the world with a dog’s nose? Or to claw a rug with the paws of a cat…

When Life Gives You Dead Dogs, Look at the Teeth

There is always more to the picture. All failure is nothing but a failure of perspective. You can always learn something if you are willing to see everyone and everything as your teacher. Your growth will be exponential if you constantly work to see things in new ways. At a…

Venus conjunct Mars: Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire

Some spiritual traditions see desire as the root of all evil. We should not be lured by “women and gold”. . . As they see it, desire for the things of the world keeps us bound to the wheel of karma, running here and there looking for satisfaction we can…

Sun-Neptune: The Good, the True, and the Beautiful

In my last post, I discussed the idea that astrology can help us open to “The More” — whatever lies beyond the borders of ordinary consciousness. Whether or not it will do so depends on us. Can we discern the real from the unreal? Can we empty our vessel? Today’s…

Gemini New Moon: A Perspective on Perspectives

Starting with today’s New Moon in Gemini, I plan to begin a daily, short blog relating to the energies of the moment, either astrological or otherwise. The Gemini New Moon seems a perfect time to begin such a project (though I didn’t plan it this way), given that Gemini rules…

Zen and the Infinite Depth of the Ordinary

Leo Full Moon (Feb. 4, 2023)

What is it going to take to be yourself? What is holding you back? The Leo Full Moon lights up the Leo-Aquarius axis — the axis of self and society. How do we achieve maximum coherence with ourselves and with others, so that we can live authentically and unapologetically? How…

Full Moon in Cancer, End of Mars Retrograde

This Full Moon in Cancer comes as Mars completes its retrograde (January 13), and a week into Mercury’s retrograde. Every successive inner planet retrograde I experience appears more and more as a gift. Like everything in life, retrogrades are here to teach us, if we will let them. I always…
