…On the Virgo New Moon & Mercury’s Station I heard somewhere that it takes 60 days to form a new habit. I then heard it was 21. Truth be told, it’s probably somewhere in between — and mostly variable due to the person attempting it, along with many other mitigating factors. In my experience, 29.5 days seems to…

…On the start of another Mercury cycle Recently, I came across an article about Alan Watts’ first experiences with psychedelics (similar LINK, couldn’t find the original). Indeed, he was impressed with the compounds, yet seemed even more smitten with the garden he was in. Many of his first journeys took place at the historic Druid Heights in…

…On the Full Moon (Pisces) It’s that time again when the moon becomes “super” by coming a bit closer and is kind to those who are near-sighted. Perigee is the term and it happens with nearly half of the full moons each year. When the moon is perigee it’s around 25k miles closer to Earth…

…On the Dark Moon & difference between Soul and Spirit There are some words that are interchangeable, and there are some that are not. The ego and the self could be exchanged in certain contexts, but not the unconscious and darkness — or even the heart and love; creator or god or programmer can be swapped, but never should we…

…On the Venus/Uranus square & her cazimi Time is a hoodwinker. As we get older, it speeds up. We wish we had more of it, yet we can’t seem to find it. It costs us a lot and it’s the only commodity we can never get back. Time also disappears; when in flow, what is time? And…

…On the Mercury/Saturn opposition & another pre-shadow “The good man, though a slave, is free; the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave, and not the slave of a single man, but- what is worse — the slave of as many masters as he has vices.” -Saint Augustine It often feels like our ideas don’t stand a…

…on the Mars/Saturn opposition, just before she stations Let’s be honest, if we were to spend most of our lives out at sea, always studying the clouds and waves, dealing with the concentrated drama on deck, sunburnt, lonely, and always fighting the anchor pulling us down from true longing, some…

…On the Nodal sign change There are those who track the Nodes of the Moon and there are those who do not; there are those who focus in on the North one, feeling the South one is something to forget — and then there are even those who use the Mean over the True measurements…

…On Mercury joining the pride, making a few meetings with the Outers Soon, Mercury will return to the sky and will be chasing down the lovers — Venus & Mars (Leo). Battling with jealousy, duty, and keeping the focus, it’s in this phase of the cycle where he grows a wizardly beard and adorns a fresh blue feather; wisdom is budding. When…
