Are You an “Epiphany” Junkie?
Warning: This post may piss you off… If one more person tells me that their event will “change my life forever” I may have to hit them with an overripe banana. I don’t know if it’s just a New York thing, but everybody and their cousin seems to be offering “breakthrough”, “life changing”, “shake up…
Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: From the Darkness into the Light
[pullquote]Mercury will be retrograde from Monday, 10/21/13 through Sunday, 11/10/13[/pullquote] #3 in a Series of 3 Mercury gets a bad rap.

For others, “Success” is a “Twilight Zone”, even more frightening than failure, because it is pregnant with possibilities and potentially dashed expectations. In either case, our vision of…
Saying “Yes” when you mean “No”? Reclaim Your Sun
Why do we say “yes” when we mean “no”? When we say that what someone wants is more important than what we want; we give them our power. (Note for Parents: Our children are very important and… they learn self-valuing by watching us. Striking a balance here is vital which is a topic for a…
Quit “Shoulding” on Yourself? Reclaim Your “Why”
Shoulding all over yourself? (Wish I could claim that one, but an excellent friend coined it, or borrowed it…) Are you doing what you “should” do? You ever get stuck in your day ‘cuz you’re “shoulding” all over yourself? You know what I mean, “I should do that…” no wait, “I should do this…” and…
Moon Shadow: Have you divorced your Moon?
Play Podcast (6:01 minutes) It’s complicated… Most people know their Sun Sign… you know, it’s the answer you give when someone asks you your “Sign”.
