Here we have the archetypal Knight-in-shining-armor, a romantic figure on his elegant steed. Pure romance. It is mid-April, and we are in the midst of an ice storm. It is messy and very un-springlike out there. I woke up in a melancholy state, and then I pulled this card. This Knight was an unexpected and pretty […]
This is what I feel like this morning. I want to draw in my energy, hold it within myself. I feel a little vulnerable, I want to wrap myself in a blanket and be cozy and held. I want to feel the earth solid and supportive beneath my feet. I want to keep a level […]
I’m an airy Gemini. I spend a lot of time in my own head. My imagination flies towards scenarios of possible triumph or disaster at lightning speed. I’ve gotten into a habit of running through a dizzying array of options before making a decision, which is exhilarating and also exhausting. I’m aware of this, and also […]
That magical moon…in the days up to a Full Moon I don’t sleep well. I DREAM. Vividly. The images are so clear, it’s like it’s happening in real life, or like watching a movie. This is both wonderful and terrible, depending on the subject matter of the dream. Do you feel the pull of the […]

Grief is different than I imagined it would be. About six months ago we lost my Dad, and I feel worse now, or I feel MORE now, than I did then. Grief has become a more visceral thing. When my Dad was sick, I shifted into pure adrenaline mode. My family created a pattern of […]
I received the Lunar Nomad Oracle from Weiser Books, like magic, there it was, falling though my mail slot one morning. This is a luscious, shadowy, intuition-inspiring deck, and I am already a little bit in love with it. When I first took it out of the packaging, which is a sturdy and attractive box […]
I have a special relationship with the Moon. I know I am not her only admirer, but my love is true. I FEEL the Moon, even when I can’t see her. I flow with her changes, I look to her for guidance and comfort. She sends me dreams that both inspire and confound, she steals […]
Do you know what your 2018 Tarot year card is? If not, here’s how to figure it out. For me, 2018 is a Death year. Of course my first reaction to that card was OH GREAT. What might that mean, a Death year? Yes, Death does bring great transformation, gets rid of what you don’t need […]
