Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide
In our lives, we are so busy multi-tasking, juggling devices and schedules that we forget to notice the details. We miss things. For me, Mercury retrograde has always been that time when we’re reminded that a little back-tracking, a little revision, a few deliberate pauses in the day can be a way in which we…

Sagittarius New Moon
Tomorrow’s New Moon in Sagittarius is about hope, spontaneity, optimism, faith and adventure. Wherever it falls in your chart is where you need an injection of these things. For that reason, this is one of my favourite New Moons of the year. It’s the opportunists New Moon. It’s not so much glass half full or…

What dreams are made of …
The copy edit for the first in my Whale Bay mysteries came back yesterday which means it’s time for me to begin playing with images for the cover – not that I do my own covers, I’m not that clever or creative. I do, however, have to have some images in mind to brief my…

Venus in Scorpio
Venus has just moved into Scorpio – a sign in which she’s not at all comfortable. When Venus is in Scorpio, you see, she’s in what traditional astrologers term the sign of her detriment. This doesn’t mean that Venus is weak in Scorpio, it means that she is in a position where she can’t use…

Mercury in Capricorn – Drawing lines in the sand
Since leaving my day job a couple of months ago I’ve struggled with daily structures and routines. Rather than being more productive with my writing, I’ve been less, and rather than using my time more efficiently, I’ve regularly found myself faffing about watching Hallmark Christmas movies when I should be doing something that will contribute…

Gemini Full Moon
My daughter has always loved a question – not in that incessant “but why” way many kids have, but other … deeper … questions. Things like “We only see them out in the rain so where do snails go when it’s not raining?” Or even, “where does all the snot (mucus) live when you don’t…

Handling your truth
So hubby and I have been wearing one of those glucose monitoring thingies on the back of our arms over the last week. It’s something a visiting medical friend suggested last week. Hubby, you see, has been in denial about things like that – what you can’t see blah blah blah. Nothing I could say…

Freedom and the Aries Full Moon
So anyways, yesterday I walked away from my day job. It wasn’t as dramatic an exit as that sounds, it was, instead, quite lovely and something I’d made a decision on and been working towards for a couple of months. I know I’ll miss my colleagues and the daily interactions – even though as I…

Once in a Blue Moon
31 August 2023, Full Moon 7 Pisces 25′ Driving back from the beach this morning the radio announcer was talking about this week’s blue moon. A blue moon – when you get two full moons within a month – is relatively uncommon, happening once every 2 ½ years. Two blue moons in the one year…

Uranus Retrograde
If I had a dollar for every person over the last couple of days who has mentioned how much they need a break, some time away, some time alone, I’d be very nicely off, thank you very much. I mentioned only yesterday to a friend how I was struggling with this. Uranus sits on the…
