Things to do under the Cancer Moon…
I wrote the other day about how I used the cycles of the Moon to write some of the scenes in manuscript. This prompted a lot of questions- both from fellow writers and others just interested in how to use these monthly cycles more effectively. So, first on the list is Cancer… Things to do…

Full Moon and eclipse in Gemini- and a NANOWRIMO Update
I did it! NANOWRIMO- 50,000 words in the month of November. My poor little writers hands are suffering, and I feel like I’ve been burning both ends of the candle, but I got there. What’s interesting is that I got there, this time, with the help of what I knew was going on in the…

Something about the Moon, Uranus, Mars and Bondi…
So, the Sun has moved into Sagittarius. In homage to all the backpackers whose first stop in Oz is Bondi, here’s a pic I took today. Just glorious. For those of us coming into the last week of nanowrimo, this may bring that inspiration to get across the line… Given that Venus is now in…

something about electional astrology & a lot about words…
Electional astrology is the art of choosing a date for the best possible outcome of something. It’s one reason why weddings often happen on a Saturday- Saturday is Saturns day and therefore associated with commitment. Oh, there’s also that other pesky reason about making sure your guests can get the day off work. You wouldn’t…

something about being busy…
I’m busy. Seriously busy. What else would you expect from a Saturn-Mars conjunction? Yep, that’s my life just now. Saturn-Mars. I’ve taken on an extra days work, so am now working 3 days a week. It’s November, so that means NaNoWriMo– National Novel Writing Month. And I’m doing it again. That means 50,000 words in…

Green paint and sextiles…
On the Facebook page I’ve been banging on for the last couple of days about the sextile between Venus (in Virgo) and Mercury (in Scorpio). It’s been one of those astro weather aspects that has the potential to work for us all if we take the opportunities it offers. See, that’s what sextiles are about-…

Patterns
As I write the Moon is officially full- which seems weird as the Sun is streaming down here in Sydney. It got me thinking though about patterns. Patterns in the birth chart, patterns in the sky. I’ve been feeling seriously restless the last week, but especially the last couple of days. This morning it hit…

This Place’s About to Blow…
At the Aries Full Moon last year I confessed to an inexplicable and hidden addiction to plastic cheese and True Blood. I’m over True Blood now- the witches series pretty well did it for me. In truth, it was just an excuse to put an image of a shirtless Alcide on the blog. The Aries…

something about triangles, squares and lines through the middle
So the Moon has been in Scorpio for the last couple of days. The ingress into Scorpio coincided beautifully with Pluto going direct, and added some extra oomph to the Pluto/Uranus square. I haven’t written a lot here about the Pluto/Uranus square. This is because there’s a lot being written about it by astrologers a…

something about blenders, bridges and balsamic moons…
I’m doing the Bridge Run on Sunday. It’s a 9km walk/run/whatever across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through the streets and finishing at the Botanical Gardens. You can read a bit about it here. I did it last year with a friend- it was sort of an accidental entry- a BUI (Booking Under the Influence) incident.…
