Mercury Retrograde…here we go again
I don’t know what made me look again at the instructions for the piece of work I was about to start this morning, but something did. And I saw a piece of information I’d missed the first time through. An extremely vital piece of information. The sort of information that would have led to not…

Mercury in Scorpio
If I were to say to you: can you keep a secret? Would you know just what to do- or where to keep it? Poison Arrow, by ABC. If you have Mercury in Scorpio you know the answers to these questions. Not only can you keep a secret, you know where to keep it: locked away…

The DIY Guide to Mercury Retrogrades
I’ve prattled on a lot in the past about Bali and why I love it – and the people. Possibly, though, the thing I love the most are the offerings. The process of constructing and offering the tributes is not just a belief based ritual, but also a deliberate pause to be fully in the…

How to prepare for Mercury retrograde…
Mercury, as we know, does this a few times a year. For dates and degrees, check out this page. Dealing with it requires common sense, flexibility, clarity and patience. I often tell people to act as if they don’t have a smart phone, or are overseas with the data roaming turned off. What do I mean…

Mercury in Taurus
Saturday, April 1, 2017 Mercury in Taurus Moon in Gemini Miss T has most unkindly, and not entirely unfairly, compared my singing to cat wails, or Kali (Adventure Spaniel) howling. As I said – unkind. I happen to think that I smash some of those Adele high notes out of the park. She says I…
