  • November

    November continues with the volatility that we have seen with one significant difference. While much of the wild swings that have been occurring since the Autumn of 2008 have been influenced by the Saturn Uranus opposition that has been operational and continues to impact us, both in our personal lives and in the world at large, into 2012; we now have a further energy configuration to deal with and one that may be even more powerful and forceful in its influence.

  • October

    This October seems a paradoxical month, but should that surprise any of us? We have been living, continue to live and will be living in a paradoxical world. For many of us, we may feel as though we have entered a strange and bizarre landscape where the parameters have dramatically shifted, the terrain unstable at best, and people’s attitude a little edgy, edging towards a seething frustration, fraught with anxiety.

  • My October Visit to Connecticut

    My October Visit to Connecticut — I shall be in Stamford, Connecticut, and available for In-Person Sessions from Saturday, October 17th, through Thursday, October 29th.

  • Autumn 2009

    The season of this Autumn continues the alchemical process, a period of purging and eliminating, a season of deathing in order to provide the fodder for a rebirth. Like nature in the Northern Hemisphere with the leaves falling from the trees and the skeletal structure of branches, limbs and trunk exposed, we may feel as though during this Autumn we are being stripped down to the bare bones, being rid of excesses and cut to the essence of our very being. There is a purging going on, a dropping away of those characteristics of our lives that have served their purpose and now prove no longer functional for us.

  • Insanitus Depravitus

    During this so-called Information Age, it is disconcerting how little information is revealed. Oh, there is more than enough information about this celebrity, that celebrity, diet items, health fads and all the trendy things that most people consider as making up the substance of their lives. But important information seems to be less nowadays rather than more… ironic for a time often denoted as an Information Age.

  • September

    September is a time when we get back to our normal routine, although normal is hardly the word to describe these times. We are locked in a push – pull between old and new, between deathings and birthings and often wondering which is which.

  • Autumn ALERT

    I cannot conceal my concern for some difficult periods as we come towards the end of the Summer and especially in the mid-Autumn period.

  • August

    We’re looking for good times even if that means suspending rational judgment and embracing irrational exuberance. It doesn’t matter. We want to have fun, affirm our hope and assume that things are straightening out and getting ever better after a period of tumult and turmoil.

  • July

    July seems like a roller coaster type of month with ups and downs, but we should be used to that pace by now during these volatile times. The characteristics of July can be seen in a paraphrase of the old nursery rhyme: when it is good, it is very, very good. But when it is bad, it is horrid. The month has swings from irrational exuberance and downright delusions to snags, delays and frustrations that can let the air out of the inflated balloon.

  • Summer 2009

    While Summer is often associated with down time, getting off the track of our routine and taking time for relaxation and re-creation, this Summer can have us balancing our personal needs with the demands of our daily responsibilities.
