Mars direct in Leo, and we now have some forward motion in actualizing our deeper desires. In the Osho Zen tarot, an old lion is seen wearing a sheepskin, and is surrounded by sheep. The story goes that another lion came to bring him to a reflective pond, where then he could see his true nature. What past

 The first half of the month is mutable and shifting, the second half more fiery and tense. So many planets are either in Pisces or Aries that we are all really experience a combination of fire and water in our lives. Are you just

I recently gave a presentation for my Leads Group on how I became interested in becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist. Here is a small part of my story:

My father is Italian, my mother is Swedish, they met in Greece, and when my brother was a year old, they emigrated to America. While I was born in Washington DC and lived in

AstroChat for Sun in Scorpio 2009

There has been a general feeling of universal frustration and soul exhaustion in the stars. How are you taking care of yourself? Can you accept being human while holding onto your cosmic intentions? Yes, I know you can. And with all these planets going direct in the next month or two,

“Discontent is the first step towards progress”. So many folks seem so unhappy lately, this quote sprang to mind. If you're happy with life, one doesn't change. It's only when we're unhappy that we do start to change - look at health care! It took a long time for this country to be discontent enough to change presidents.

It's 09/09/09 and spam texts (spexts?) about what a lucky day you will have by forwarding this message. "Luck is being prepared for opportunity when it comes" is what springs to mind, this Moon in Taurus & Mercury Retrograde Tuesday.

I started the day around 6:30 am posting on Twitter that now was a good time to re-assess all you value most. Health, time,

Sun moves into Virgo on Saturday, August 22. Happy Lammas! We are now halfway between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. Lammas is the time of the unexpected gift. In the past it was the time of lambs and kittens, early harvests and abundant gardens. Look into your life and count your blessings - spread the seeds of kindness and appreciation, and surprise a

We move from the New Moon in Cancer on Monday, July 20 and roar into the summer as the Sun and Mercury enter the sign of Leo on July 22. SThis August, shake out your mane but check your ego at the door. Now is the time to voice your prides and joys, and to come into touch with your core values and beliefs. Open your generous

Sun in Cancer/Leo Happy Summer Solstice! Whether you're proud to be an American at the 4th of July or proud of your transgendered child at a Gay Pride Parade (Go Chaz!), now is the time to find out what you are proud of in your life. Your ancestry? Your sports team? Your college? Your accomplishments? And who is in your pride-

Sun in Gemini Inward, outward, up, down... feeling like a yo-yo this last month? Or maybe like a slingshot? Boomerang effects rebound as the Sun joins Mercury in Gemini, sign of the Twins. Where do you find yourself fraternizing, and where do you find those identical to you? Both serve a purpose. Now is a great time to start a journal.

Venus continues to retrograde until tax day. How appropriate. Read those documents at least three times before you sign. Having traveled through fiery Aries, it’s detriment, for a brief time Venus floats in exalted Pisces, allowing our love of spirit and our spirit of love to flourish. All the lessons of love and finance that you

My fourth time over the hill in 4 days. Not a big deal to some, but more times than I've driven in probably a year. After all, I live in Santa Cruz, and why leave paradise?

I started out with Every Day Reiki - Magickal and Mundane presented by Francena Marie Hancock. Based on Diane Stein's Essential Reiki, this certainly was the calmest, most peaceful

Sunday I went solo to PantheaCon, weathering the pouring rain as best possible,  Astarius cranked on the CD player. Dressed today in rich velvets and sumptuous silks, I felt sparkly - my gypsy skirt covered in gold sequins, my anklet tinkling silver bells, glitter on my cheeks & bindi's aplenty on my third eye (Bindi there! Done that!). Indeed, the whole

On Saturday we were smart enough to stop at The Buttery before venturing off for further adventures at PantheaCon. The food at The Double Tree Hotel is not only hideously expensive, but veritably unpalatable as well, especially for kids. We loaded up our bags with avocado sandwiches, boiled eggs and organic pop tarts, little cheeses and bottles of water,

Brezsney's Libra horoscope for this week:

The Madonna of Orgasm Church is a Swedish institution. Its leader claims that the sect is not obsessed with sex, nor are orgies included in the regular worship services. Rather, deifying the orgasm is a symbol for cultivating a lust for life. Making love is just one of many ways to experience peak states and

Today's ritual:

I went to a baby shower for a friend last fall, and one of the hostess gifts was a packet of seeds - Sweet peas in Cupid Pink, to be exact. They have been sitting in a dish on one of the around the house altars for awhile, gathering energy, if not dust. Fairy dust, of course.
