This is how it feels…
Think about the last time you had your heart broken. Or even the last time somebody hurt you or upset you or took you for granted. How did you react? Did you confront that person? Did you talk to them about it? How quickly did you get over it? Have you moved on? Did you…

How Does She Do It?
Despite being located in Indonesia, the official religion in Bali is Hinduism- but a different sort of Hinduism to what is practised in India. I won’t get into details here (mainly because I’ll probably get them wrong!), but is has to do with what the Balinese worship in addition to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. They…

That’s Freedom
Today we said goodbye to my Nan. The Moon is in Aquarius (as was Nan’s natal Moon) and the music they played was John Farnhams’ “That’s Freedom.” She loved John Farnham. One of my cousins talked about how Nan always had a costume for any occasion. There was the full Santa get-up for Xmas (complete…

something about the Moon in Cancer- and crook guts
I write this watching my hubby painstakingly chopping assorted veg into tiny little dice to make a no point (yep I’m on Weight Watchers) soup for me. He’s quite excited- the fridge is a bit like a mystery box for him. Anyways, he’s preparing something to keep my tummy full and satisfied during long days…

Something about a smash cake- and a little seething…
The highlight of today has been the Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Gemini. My sister in law made this smash cake for my nephews’ first birthday party. The deal was pop the cake in the middle of a picnic rug, sing Happy Birthday quickly, and then get out of the way as all the kids hands make…

Something about Venus in Cancer and Jamie Oliver…
I asked the following question on my Facebook Blog page today: So, Venus is about to move into Cancer & I have 2 questions for you: Do you like to cook? What types of food do you like to cook? The response has been incredible- a great conversation. Cancer rules the belly, so we often…

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart…
Yesterday I broke up…with my personal trainer. I even said those words that I’ve always wanted to say to someone but never have- I’ve always been the dumpee not the dumper (awwwww). So yesterday, I said it: “It’s not you, it’s me. The last two years have been fun, but I think we now want…

Capricorn Full Moon
I’ve been thinking a lot about Failure lately- amongst other F words like Fear, Faffing and WTF. Yesterday I read a story on Salon where the author spoke candidly about her first novel, her hopes, her dreams and its failure to get published. Then she talked about her second. Then at the gym I was…

Something about Cancer, Life, Death and Cycles
It’s been a tough few days here in Chez Tracey. Yesterday was my Nan’s 94th birthday. I’ve written about Mavis in these posts before. Nan breaks the Cancer cliché mould, yet also fits it perfectly. She has a penchant for silver strappy sandals and will forever be associated in my mind with feather boas and…

Jar of Hearts
There is such a thing as Moon memory. You know, when you “just” know something. It’s also when you smell something and are immediately taken back to that time- not just the events of that time, but the emotions that come with the memory. Music does it for me. In the days before…
