  • Something about Mercury, Neptune and a name…

    So anyways, it’s been a mad mad week. In parts it’s also been a mad bad week. This has been partly because I’m just back from holidays* and (in this weeks surprising news) wanted to still be on holidays, and partly because it’s been mad and bad and bad and mad in the partition job.…

  • Astro diaries…and more

    So anyways, I’ve been in Mooloolaba on holidays. We start the drive home tomorrow. If you want to know what I’ve been up to, check out my instagram feed…or the and anyways site. Spoiler alert, it pretty well involves sand, water, and eating. When I’m away, I rarely pay attention to what’s happening in the…

  • 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.…

  • Something about going back…

    Mercury is pretty well stationary and will officially turn direct in less than a day. For those of you who struggle with these things, it could be a case of heavy sighs of relief. I’m a little meh about it. Sure there’s been the usual Mercury retrograde stuff in the news, the usual Mercury retrograde…

  • Something about Mercury retrograde…and forests…

    Generally speaking, us humans take our senses for granted. Sight smell, sound, touch taste. Easy to say, harder to remember. Most of us pay attention, real attention to just 2- what we hear and what we see. Sure the others get a look in, but we’re usually all so busy being busy that we only…

  • Something about going where you don’t normally go…

    Your Weekend Stars Moon in Gemini Mercury is now retrograde. If you’re a Mercury type, you’ve probably been feeling it for the past week, as not only was Mercury slowing and preparing to turn retrograde, but was also in Pisces and sidling up close to Neptune. Today, though, with the Moon in Gemini, you’re likely…

  • Something about a Plan B…

    Mercury is retrograde tomorrow. For some of you, these are words that bring with them a forecast of impending doom, while others will welcome the respite and the inspiration. (If you’re counting, that’s the first re word I’ve used in this post…there will be more…) Back when I was in partition land, one of my…

  • How to prepare for Mercury Retrograde…

    Eight years ago we had a new kitchen installed. I love it…except the oven…it’s never cooked evenly…but that’s another story. Anyways in this new kitchen we doubled the width of our existing benchtop and extended the length. This allowed for extra bench space for prep work and a set of bookshelves for all my cookbooks.…

  • Something about using your re words….

    Wednesday 30 October Moon in Virgo As I write, Mercury and Saturn are about to join up. This is the 2nd of 3 meetings this cycle. Being Saturn it will involve a commitment. Your word is your bond…or something like that. Words mean Something- with a capital letter. Being the retrograde the retrograde or 2nd…

  • Something about the different shades of grey…it’s not what you think!

    Wednesday 23 October Moon in Gemini Back in the old days, somewhere in the dim dark past before digital cameras, I took photography classes. I was working with a completely manual rangefinder style Pentax camera at first. It was about 50 years old and felt beautiful in the hand, and had that satisfying click of…
