The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year. We go into the darkness, and then we welcome the return of the sun with joy and optimism for the future. Although this is a merry time, often spent in celebration with family and friends, it is also a time of reflection. […]
Lunar eclipses are intense times for us moon worshippers and sensitive souls. Sometimes I feel the power as a call to action, magically speaking. But at other times, I feel a drawing in, an invitation to reflect and let things unfold. Right now, I feel the drawing in. The Moon is asking me to slow […]
I love Friday the 13th. (Knock wood, no hubris, much gratitude.) I am happy when that day comes up. I mark it as a special occasion. If I had my way, it would be a floating national holiday, everyone gets the day off or it is totally fine to call in sick. FRIDAY THE 13TH […]
I’ve always had a knack for timing, at least when it comes to the smaller things. If I listen to the urgings of my intuition, I usually get to a restaurant or attraction just before a huge lineup forms, or I get the last one of something before it sells out. When it comes to […]
I have a special relationship with the Moon. I imagine that YOU do, too. 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 […]

May is a hopeful month, bursting with new life, green leaves, and miraculous blossoms that seem to appear from nowhere. At this time of year, we feel the promise of life, of growth, of our own ability to reinvent ourselves and to stretch towards new possibilities and desires. It is a wonderful time to plant […]
When I’m feeling stressed or overwhelmed, my overactive mind usually treats me to one of the bizarre and vivid anxiety dreams that I have on a rotating roster. My favorite is the one when I am staying at an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean. It is the last day of my vacation, and I […]
I have always been a worrier. It’s hardwired in me. I’ve learned to manage it, and of course reading Tarot helps with that, but over the past year my worrier genes have kicked into overdrive. (Thanks for that, pandemic.) Worry is connected to control. I worry about the people I love, and I want to […]
March 20th marks the beginning of Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and even though I still wore my winter parka today, my heart is starting to believe that gentler weather and green life will soon appear. I’m not a winter person, and in the best of times by March I am sick of the […]
