SpaceWeather informs me: NOAA forecasters have boosted the odds of an M-class flare today to 30%. The reasons are Sunspots AR2367 and AR2360, which are growing with unstable magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares. At the moment, both active regions are crackling with low-level C-class flares. It may be just a matter of time before…

Another video blog?!
Actually, the shorter ones (meditations and such) will probably just get posted to my Patreon account going forward. In the meantime, enjoy!
More on Navigating the Current Mercury Retrograde
This Mercury Retrograde seems to have 2 main components: (1) We are being asked to do some heavy processing of old old old issues from our past, sometimes with the focus on just being present to the emotions that come up without even knowing what they are attached to; and (2) Being super flexible with…
Because there wasn’t enough going on
This just in from SpaceWeather: A moderate (G2-class) geomagnetic storm is underway on May 19th as Earth enters an unsettled stream of solar wind. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight. So we’ve got darker-than-dark new moon energy (more on that later), Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, and…
There’s Something Ironic About Trying To Clear Up Misconceptions During Mercury Retrograde
But I keep doing it… …over… and over… and over… Mercury rules communication, thoughts, travel, and what some people might call luck or what others might call opportunism. A retrograde period is a chance to go back over what has been done before and fix any mistakes. It’s a time for reflection and repair. Maybe…
Regression During Retrograde
As we move into Imbolc (traditionally 2/1, astrologically 2/3), with Mercury (logic, communication) Retrograde in the visionary sign of Aquarius, and the push-pull on our emotions of having both Mars and Venus in Pisces, we have an amazing opportunity to push through old blocks and health old wounds. If you’re feeling like perhaps your old…
Welcome to the month of Aquarius!
As I mentioned last week, any time You have a Solar and Lunar shift at the same (or almost the same) time, it can be a little jarring. Since Aquarius is the archetype of visionary and change on a transpersonal scale, the fact that Mercury is about to go retrograde may be creating a bit…
You have some things to take care of before the 19th…
As of this week, we are in the “pre-wash” of Mercury Retrograde. The actual shift happens on the 21st, but Nature does anything abruptly, and this is a pattern that always shows itself about a week out (and goes on for a week longer than it has any right to). It will happen the day…
Honoring those who have gone before
I need to put up my ancestor altar before Thursday. It’s time. I’ve got help in the office this week, doing a bunch of my back filing (and believe me, there’s a bunch). She came across the memorial card for my dear friend who passed in 2013; it’s sitting on my desk, his face staring…
Interesting Sun Flares
On Friday, SpaceWeather alerted me to some solar activity that, while significant, wasn’t aimed at earth. I intended to write about it anyway, but it’s a waning moon, and I’m not betting as much done as I would like. The, this morning, I awoke to this missive: Solar activity increased sharply on Oct. 19th when…
Numerology of the Eclipse
It didn’t even occur to me to run the numerology on this event until I went put to look and, on coming back in the house, saw it was 2:22. Some numerologist I am… I’ll blame it on being under the weather, and the lunar astrology workshop I’m taking. Anyway… Interestingly, whether I run the…
Observations from the Labyrinth on Yom Kippur
I’ve resumed my labyrinth practice for the month of October, though certainly not at the level of the 40 day devotional I did this past spring. It started mostly as a way to easy my passage through Mercury retrograde and to support me through the thinning of the veils. I did a walk today, and…
