Making Your Mind Up…
Mercury in Libra There’s this cute little trattoria in a suburb near us. It overlooks a bush valley with brightly coloured rosellas and king parrots darting through the gum trees in amazing flashes of colour. The restaurant itself is one of those real traditional Italian “let us serve you” styles. This essentially means that there…

and on that farm he had a…Mercury in Virgo
One I prepared much earlier… ‘and on that farm he had a …. crocodile!’ announced Sarah. ‘But there aren’t any crocodiles on farms, Sarwah,’ pointed out A. My daughter and my niece were singing “Old Macdonald Had a Farm” in the back of the car. Both girls were about 4 at the time and very…

Darling, you were fabulous… Mercury in Leo
I posted this last year, but seriously just wanted another excuse to use this photo! So, Mercury in Leo and one I prepared earlier. Thou goatish rump-fed strumpet! I was having some fun on Facebook the other day with Shakespearian insults. Lines like the above or this one: Thy lips rot off! Or even: [Thine]…

How to travel under Mercury Rx
So anyways, I’m one of those people who doesn’t sleep on planes…at all. I never have.. As a result, I’m writing this after being awake for approximately 40 hours, so any spelling mistakes are the result of tiredness and not Mercury retrograde….Which leads me neatly into a segue to Mercury Rx and travel. As you know, I’m…

Mercury Retrograde…
So anyways, I posted something this morning over on and anyways about the offerings that the Balinese make each day. 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 moment- regardless of the business of life going on around.…

Mercury in Pisces- When You Say Nothing At All
This post was originally published a couple of years ago… One of my closest friends has his Mercury in Pisces- just like me. Like me, his Mercury is more Piscean than the usual Pisces Mercury because it’s in the 12th house. His Mercury is better than mine because it’s direct (mine is retrograde), but also…

Something about random thoughts and spreadsheet hell…
Earlier this morning I was in spreadsheet hell in the partition job. And by spreadsheet hell, I’m not exaggerating. They were everywhere. And they were doing my head in. Seriously. So I did what I usually do when I can feel my head being done in, and when I can feel the danger that my…

A Different Point of View…
Mercury in Aquarius…one I prepared earlier… Remember school sports carnivals? I hated them- with an absolute passion. I loved the swimming carnivals, but that’s because I was good at it, and usually in line for age swimming champion, or at least get a few decent wins beneath the belt, but dry land? Forget it. I’m…

Only Thinking…
Mercury in Sagittarius I’m here at home sitting in my armchair, listening to my mind at play. I’m building buildings, I’m ploughing hilltops, I’m crossing oceans… only thinking. … I could go anywhere, do anything…only thinking. There’s a line in the great Aussie movie The Castle where Dale Kerrigan is introducing us to his family. ‘Steve…

Something about Mercury Retrograde…
Yes, yes, yes, I’ve been neglecting you all again. September has been simply manic in the partition job- to the extent that multi tasking activities such as walking and talking at the same time have come with health warnings. Before you ask, I’m ok- just worn out and doing some (ok, a lot) priority juggling.…
