“I’m an Astrologer”: The Complexity of Naming What We Do

Today while notarizing some papers–there with my husband and father-in-law– the chatty and sweet notary asked what I did for a living. “I’m an astrologer,” I answered with a bit too much emphasis, knowing how such occupations are received at small, boutique banks in the heart of academia. My father-in-law, an otherwise intelligent and generous man, promptly laughed apologetically — a laugh which I read as “ridiculous, isn’t it?” This

Playing Dead

I play dead like the best of dogs. But I don’t do it for a treat. In fact, it’s quite a miserable reaction to certain stresses in my life.

Here are a few concrete examples:

If Andrew is driving and I’m sure we are going to crash (which is every 10 minutes even though Andrew is an excellent driver), I close my eyes and stop breathing.

If I am feeling something that I

Hammock Monday

~A new commitment to meet myself and you in the hammock once a week~

It’s dark. I have finally made my way to the hammock. It’s also pleasantly chilly.  We just ate dinner and the kitchen and the dining room table are a mess, but I’ve decided to make my hammock date the priority. Andrew is putting Dylan to sleep. And I’ll clean up later.

As I sit in the hammock tonight,

My Capricorn Moon Tries to Get Dylan Down for a Nap

Anyone who knows anything about Capricorn already knows what I’m going to write. It’s impossible to convince a cute, kissing, hyper toddler that he should go down for a nap just because one has a plan for how the day should unfold.

I spent all morning working on getting Dylan to sleep. He didn’t sleep well last night and he was grumpy from the moment he awoke. He, in fact, dropped

The Glorious Wretchedness of each Astrological Sign

It made me smile to write that title. It’s the first time I’ve smiled in a number of hours. I’m definitely on the out-of-sorts side. It’s some combination of grumpy, anxious and impatient. My house is a mess. I don’t feel far enough along with all my summer work plans. I want to be writing SOMETHING every day. And our appliances are breaking one by one.

On a completely different note,

The Hidden Sun Sign

So, you’re a Taurus? Or a Capricorn? Or a Gemini? You’ve read the newspapers about your sign. Maybe you’ve even been to an astrologer. You know certain qualities associated with your sun sign. Maybe they seem right on OR maybe you’ve never understood why you don’t feel like “a typical Pisces.”

One of the reasons you may not feel like your sun sign is that the sun sign is only one

The Opportunities of Saturn

I was recently at a great workshop, taught by my friend Erin Schlabach. We did a simple exercise to warm up in which two people stood one behind the other. Then the one behind held the hips of the one in front. The one in front tried to walk, while the one in back created as much resistance as possible. It’s difficult to say the least. After trying to walk
