The Orbit of the Sublime
Recently my friend Carrie sent me something powerful, written by a nun and author Sister Joan Chittister: “I have a parrot who does not sing. She screams for whatever she needs. But when I sing to her, or play music for her, she stands stark still and listens without making a sound. She just perches…...
Peace is How We Travel
It was coming up to Valentine’s Day this year, and I sat my husband down and told him that I wanted to be in Ft Worth on the morning of the 14th, to greet the bus when the monks arrived home. The sweet man that he is, we went together. Like so many others in…...
Have an Oracle Card Party
I love Tarot cards, and I love teaching people how to have fun with them, but I do admit they can be complex and sometimes difficult to understand. That’s why Oracle cards have become such an important item in so many metaphysical bookstores and peoples lives. I recently visited one of my favorite places in…...
2026 Sun Sign Book Recommendations
This is important—The most significant fact about 2026 is that it is a ONE year in numerology! Yay! Endings are always difficult, and last year, 2025, was the end of a nine-year cycle, difficult for everyone. Just ask around. My advice to my clients in 2025 was, “I know it feels personal, but it is…...
Can a Book Change Your Life?
Every January for the last fifteen years or so, I’ve written book recommendations for each sign of the Zodiac. I base these recommendations on planetary transits and how they impact each Sun sign, and cross my fingers. It’s so tricky to try and do monthly astrology forecasts, and if you have ever done it you…...
2025 Book Recommendations for Your Zodiac Sign
We want you to get the most out of this next year because 2025 will be unlike any we have experienced in our lifetimes. ALL the outer planets change signs, and historically astrologers noticed when an outer planet changes signs it seems to change the flavor of an entire generation. We’ll be experiencing four of those…...
The Moon: Where Should We Move?
One young woman I know who has been living in Austin, Texas, decided to do just that and asked me to help her figure out where she should move using her birth chart and astrocartography. Here’s her simplified map (I’m only using the birth planet lines, and not using paran lines yet—that’s for another post):…...
AstroCartoGraphy: Plan the Perfect Birthday Trip
An interesting request arrived in my email a couple of days ago. An astrology client was trying to plan her birthday, which will be at the end of September, so she requested a Solar Return chart. I have a very cool program that can print out a report for your solar return, so I sent…...
Making AstroCartoGraphy Personal: How Strong are Your ‘Lines’
If you own an iPhone, and you are interested in astrology, there’s no better learning app than AstroGold, and almost every astrologer I know has it installed on their phone and uses it to do quick birth charts. However, AstroGold just added an AstroCartoGraphy feature. It’s not free, but it’s terrific. I’ll begin this little…...
Musings on the Tarot: The Wandering Star Tarot
It is a fact universally acknowledged that a small town anywhere is in want of a cool, sandalwood-scented book and herb store which also carries tarot and oracle cards. At least, that’s what I’ve discovered during my extensive travels. The tiny northern California town of Arcata was no exception, so this May when I found…...
