Foresight 2020
To Piper, the unprecedented turn of events in 2020 felt all but written in stone. As an astrologer, at the end of 2019 he forecasted the hurricane named Pluto, the blizzard of Saturn, and the tornado of Jupiter to make landfall in the sign of Grinch. That triple hit threatened to tear apart the very […]

Common ground
You may believe the earth is round,I may believe it’s flat.But we can share common groundAnd be a decent lad.You may have built your fancy shrineWith spheres all around.Mine is an open floor design.Both stand on common ground.We may complain to other friendsAbout our earth-shaped fight,But watch in awe as sun descendsBeyond the purple light.Alas, […]

Book report September 2023
Since I published Old Stars, New Light on April 26, I have been promoting the book the best I could. I reached out to some of you directly, posted on IG and FB, ran ads and countdown deals on Amazon, sent book for reviews, but I’ve not posted here. This is my quick update and […]

Towering Sun
As the sun’s visible path thru the sky becomes lower and shorter, and a winter blues is whistled by the northern winds, it’s up to our inner Sun to step up. Perhaps friends sitting across the table, or across the oceans of time and space, reflect that inner Sun back to us. When, in the […]

Jonah and the Whale
The chapter of our book for which Natasha drew this is about the Temperance card, and when I asked for a keyword Elias unexpectedly suggested Deliverance. I had to look that up and think about it. In traditional order of the trumps Temperance card is number 14, following Death at 13. So in card games […]

Beauty and the Beast
“The lion is drowning,” Naveed texted me upon seeing Natasha’s drawing of a lion and a water-pouring girl. Knowing my friend to be quite a lion himself, the joke struck a chord with me. “Or the girl is about to be eaten!” I replied. The drawing illustrates the predicament of opposition – opposite signs having […]

Emergence Day
Yesterday was my birthday, a.k.a. emergence day, so I picked a cute “Chick” drawing Natasha did for our book. In the chapter in question we discuss the Hanged Man, the card with rich and controversial interpretations from Haman of Purim story (see Stav Appel’s site), to Judas, to Jesus himself. We know that this is […]

September 11
When the first plane hit I just came up to WTC#7 22nd floor. I could have chosen to go for coffee across WTC plaza, in which case the hit would have been over my head, and I could have been injured. Maybe another version of me was, because I recall stopping and making an (unusual) […]

Roundup of Astrological Houses
Everyone knows their birth sign, the sign of their partners, children and dogs. But do you know your houses? Knowing a sun sign is great because, if you give the symbol the depth and breadth it deserves, there is nothing you do that doesn’t in some way reflect it. But adding the rising sign and […]
