Uranus in Pisces and My Basement

First I wish to thank all my cyber-friends for their kind birthday wishes for me! You all make me feel very special and believe me right now I’m very, very grateful for every bit of the “good” stuff I can get!!

The day after my birthday the combination of Pluto exactly sextile my Sun and Uranus transiting my fourth house created a dozy of a situation in my home. An inexperienced heating oil delivery man didn’t stop pumping when he heard a burp and we ended up with approx 140 gallons on our basement floor! I [...]

Pluto and Self-defeating Behaviors

Let’s face it, as Pluto winds down his journey through Sagittarius and prepares to enter Capricorn at the end of November, like a lot of other astrologers Pluto and what messages he has for us are very much in my thoughts.

As I was waking up this morning it came to me Pluto either natally or by transit challenges us to face our self-defeating behaviors, the “cut off your nose to spite your face” ones. Those of us with a strong Pluto presence natally start out right out of the gate dealing with these while others have these [...]

Pluto and the Politics of Reproduction

Pluto in Sagittarius is now direct and I find myself contemplating how much I dislike the combination of politics and reproductive issues because the underlying theme is control, control, control.

I am very much for women having the final say over what is happening with their bodies. When the first state laws were being passed to legalize abortion it was the issue that sent me to register to vote. As a strongly Plutonian person my own life experiences taught me the importance of deciding for oneself about bringing children into this world. Women, in the western world at [...]

Musings on Values and Balance, a Libra Thing

Yesterday I was picking blueberries and musing on the Olympics and how they are a clear example of Pluto’s final hurrah in Sagittarius. China spent billions creating the various beautiful venues and the views are still obscured in smog. What I’m wondering about is the apparent emphasis on appearances over the health of the people in many countries around the world.

In this country the migration from rural America to the cities over the past 100 years or so is reflected by a population who on the whole has no real understanding of [...]

Musings from the Second House

With Pluto’s return to Sagittarius while transiting my second house and the Sun currently transiting my eighth house, I found myself contemplating the value of wealth for some reason. With the price of crude oil rising higher by the week apparently driven by speculators and in serious danger of damaging economies around the world, the obsession with acquisition of wealth is front page news.

From the perspective of someone who has spent most of her life pursuing intangibles instead of wealth, I am simultaneously saddened and angered by the flagrant disregard for the common good. After listening [...]
