Libra New Moon
I have this feeling that I want to run off and do something stupid- jump out of something that works perfectly well, or sign up for something that I know I won’t end up finishing. It’s a restless, physical energy that has me reaching for the bucket list and looking to tick something off. I…

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…

Heart…
New Moons are always pretty special. Part of this is because for those couple of days before, the sky is pitch dark. There is no light. Things are ending and they’re ending there in the dark behind the blackness. Past where you can see. I’ll let you in on a little secret- I’m scared of…

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…

In the Wild
I’m going camping this weekend. Ok, It’s not strictly camping per se- there are no tents or toilet rolls on a spade. There is, however, outdoor fires, a cabin in the middle of not a lot, wild animals (sure kangaroos and wombats), sleeping bags and an outside toilet involved. As such, it qualifies as camping.…

Sense and Sensibility
There’s a scene in Emma Thompsons’ Sense and Sensibility where Willoughby (played by Greg Wise) and Marianne (Kate Winslet) are swapping Shakespeare sonnets- as you do when a supremely hot man has just rescued from a watery fall down a hill by throwing you on the back of his mighty steed. Marianne’s favourite is 116:…

How to Build a House
I learned a lot because of the Brisbane floods last year. I learned a lot about electricity- how it works, how the wires act like capillaries and the different names for light types. I learned about generators, I learned about lift curtains (and how to hang them), I learned about bollards and how to damage…

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…

something about Taurus Moon
Each month I talk about how the Taurus Moon can be one of those times of the month when one is most prone to comfort eating. For lunar types (and the Moon is exalted in Taurus) when things get too much, it can be easier to swallow feelings rather than express them. The other reason…

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…
