Update

I have not been writing blogs lately. Part of the reason is that I got busy with other things in my life. I. I’ve been writing a regular blog for the past 2 ½ years, and was also experiencing a bit of fatigue. Right when things are getting exciting, too—Pluto into Capricorn and the primary elections. I’ll still try to write an occasional blog, but I don’t think that it will be as often as in the past.

I heard someone say recently that they’d gone beyond their own supply line. That’s a little like I’ve felt. My own supply line has always started from within, and I found I was not spending enough time nurturing my own inner self.

I went to an all-day mindfulness meditation in November and that caused me to re-assess a lot of what I am doing in my life. Sometimes it is important to withdraw for purposes of reflection, especially when one feels at some sort of crossroads. At about the same time as that all- day meditation, my secondary progressed Uranus—a key planet in my chart—went stationary retrograde at 0° Cancer and the cusp of my 3rd house…very close to my chart-ruling Venus. A once in a lifetime occurrence, it’s had a huge impact. Add in some other key progressions, like Sun conjunct Neptune, and I feel my life shifting beneath my feet.

I’ve started work on a new book, a departure for me because it is fictional. It’s a young adult mystery novel about a troubled teenage girl who solves a crime with the help of an older female mentor who uses Tarot and astrology. It may go somewhere or it may be just an outlet for creative juices which have been flowing in new directions.

We too took a break from even looking at anyones blogs that much till yesterday and today. Seems like an age.

We all want that refresh button.

Happy New Moon! Here is to a great wish list! Go for it all! All of us!

Fair winds, starry skies,

Will you still try to post something on the election however?

Susan and John, How synchronous that you also decided to take a "blog break"!Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words--the Internet's a better place because of you.

James, Thanks so much. I have been following the election with great interest and may try to post an article or two on my website sometime. In the meantime, watch for effects of Pluto in Capricorn and, in a few months, the Saturn-Uranus opposition. The more I study McCain, the more I fear a McCain presidency and at the same time I remain astrologically fascinated by his rise from the political dead. Obama or Clinton will form the Uranus side of the Saturn-Uranus opposition.
