What makes a successful astrology writer? I had a fantastic video chat with Misty Lane about writing & astrology. We looked at charts for Linda Goodman, Rick Levine, Frank Clifford and Erin Sullivan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpib...

If you write astrology content, my Kepler College masterclass is for you. It’s a 3-week small group intensive. You’ll learn market research, best practices, common mistakes, and more. Enroll now, class starts May 16. store.keplercollege.org/product/writ...

The timing of this Canvas hack made me laugh, since this is my class’s very next assigned reading (which they now can’t access lol) eric.ed.gov?q=lms+AND+k1...

The cool thing about the Canvas hack carnage is that if you search Canvas on Bluesky you get to read a bunch of snarky faculty hot takes AND see a bunch of gorgeous acrylic and oil paintings at the same time

I started a list of recommended astrology books at BookShop.org One more step to support independent business and move away from behemoth billionaire nonsense. It will grow over time, and I’ll add some writing resources too. bookshop.org/lists/astrol...

If you've ever walked into a wellness or spiritual space and quietly wondered whether you were welcome, this is me saying: You are. I happily serve LGBTQ+, BIPOC, people of all faiths and none. My astrological practice (& all work I do) is for the full range of human experiences. Except jerks.

They got by with it for decades. Maybe change is finally here.

Tag me! I’ve marked five boxes already.

Want to debrief about the recent astrology transits and plot out what’s next? I host an astrology meetup tonight. You’re welcome to join if you’re in the New Orleans metro. Bring your chart, bring your questions.

It's tulip time! The bulbs are starting to bloom at City Park. Athena and I appreciated them while taking a brisk walk this morning. Go see. #NOLAsky

I made a savory bread pudding (aka veg strata) because a friend left sourdough behind after Mardi Gras and I had random veggies to use up. I mixed in pesto and this is delicious! New favorite menu item. What else should I try in a strata?

Sometimes the best thing about a set of transits is that it only happens once in your lifetime. I’m looking at you, Saturn, Neptune & Chiron.

I intentionally chose to turn off #RexComus last night. Although I've greatly enjoyed the social engagement of watching and commenting, I realized that giving it any attention at all wasn't a choice I wanted to align with any longer.

I'm fixated on quotidian choices, our everyday decisions about time and money. It's a mundane arm of economics, where "political dimensions pervade everyday, ostensibly non-political choices, particularly market choices" (Ann Lloyd, 2013). EVERYTHING is political. Every purchase, every choice.

Given what we know about the Epstein files, events pairing old men with much younger women are even creepier. It’s time to end this. #RexComus

If my posts confuse anyone, we are watching #RexComus as an annual Mardi Gras finale in New Orleans. www.youtube.com/live/mHljI5J...

Bring the trumpets! Let’s do something. #RexComus

If anyone's wondering why #RexComus is a thing

Here ya go. #RexComus

He was toasted that night? Pages seem young for that. #rexcomus

I’m so happy to see the #RexComus commentary. 💜💛💚

May the baleful rays miss you and the shimmering beautiful beads land smack into your hands. Happy Mardi Gras / Solar eclipse!

To distract myself from this week’s astrology, I started looking at transits eclipses in the 2040s, after the next Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction. It is wild that Pluto enters Pisces as we anticipate big sea level rises.

In OPA’s last survey, the majority of astrologers were part-time practitioners. If that is you, what benefits do you see? Do you want to stay PT or is FT your goal?

It’s so therapeutic to focus on crafting Mardi Gras throws and costumes this year. Humor and hobbies are survival skills for mental health.

Couldn’t help watching the Moon and Saturn tonight, feeling somber at the last Moon with Saturn & Neptune in Pisces. It’s been a ride. End of an era. Then I thought about Robert Frost’s poem Fire & Ice.

very very vetted list here www.standwithminnesota.com

According to Zillow’, my house lost 1/3 of value since Spring 2022. I knew a market downturn was coming & tried to sell in 2022, 3 deals fell apart. It’s a bummer, but have a place to live & a great tenant. I’m definitely at a loss when you look at major repairs and upgrades though. #NOLAsky

It’s bachelorette party planning season! I’ve gotten three inquiries for Spring dates in New Orleans in the past week. If you want to get on the schedule for astrology / tarot readings at your party, reach out.

What is your favorite way to use fennel? I still have some grapefruit from the neighbor, so was thinking the two might be a good salad mix.

I forgot how delicious cabbage fried in bacon fat is. So simple, so yummy. Inspired by my River Queen Greens CSA & the vendor selling pork! Love local farmers.

In the sky, Venus meets Pluto today. Seemed like a good time to clear out my makeup drawer, toss expired items, clean all the brushes and put them in the sunlight to dry. We’ll have no underworld dirt in this drawer!

Can you imagine life without humor? It truly would be unbearable. Comic relief is necessary.

I’m saddened at news of Jorge Caicedo’s death. He was one of the first friends I made when I moved to New Orleans in 1995. I’ve seen him at so many music shows over the years. Peace, my friend.

Dreamed that someone at work accused me of drug use. Nope, just a Saturn-Neptune transit to crucial parts of my chart. I’m swinging between exhausted and inspired.

Oh man, spent time contemplating Memento Mori this morning and this afternoon heard news of an old friend’s death, younger than me. Sure brings it home. 🖤

If you’re investing in an astrology reading, you deserve accessible language, accurate information and a caring presence. Have you read reviews / testimonials? That’s a good way to background check.

This is one of my childhood dreams. 📖

Everything is political. Politics are a reflection of values.

Kepler College is offering an Astronomy for Astrologers class starting Jan 18. I know a few people were asking about options. store.keplercollege.org/product/astr...

My day is made! I discovered a new restaurant near my office that kind of works like Chipotle for Mediterranean food. The gyro bowl was delicious. 504 Shawarma & Falafel in Metairie, LA!

When life gets tough, purposely seeking joy matters and it can be simple. Highly recommend the book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness Book by Ingrid Fetell Lee.

This is very bad.

Hey Orleans Parish folks, don’t forget to vote today! Lots of Important stuff on the ballot.

Creativity thrives in New Orleans, seen in Bywater.
