Mercury/Saturn: Awakening to the Sounds of an Old Bell
Mercury is stationing in a close conjunction with Saturn, about to turn retrograde. Last night, out of nowhere, one day after the Mars/Uranus opposition and an earthquake shook my house, an old antique clock started working again, perhaps shaken to life by the tremors of the earth. It actually woke me from sleep, and I puzzled over it for an hour or so before going back to bed. The winding key for the clock is missing, and it literally hasn't worked for years.During the night I had a dream that …

How I Came to Write Horoscopes
As Mercury and Saturn are conjunct today, I'd like to take a moment to share the story of how I came to the practice of daily horoscope writing... * The practice of daily writing began for me when I was sixteen years old. I carried a pad of paper with me to school and because I was a new kid, and typically Cancerian, I hid out in my shell longing to return to the town I grew up in. The Sun in Cancer is like this. The season of Cancer begins with the descent from the highest light, and just like …
