Moon in Cancer or Why the Crab is Moody

They’re very ordinary sorrows That mark my todays and tomorrows Some pain must befall us all There’s nothing you or I can do Short of asking time to stall I watch the scudding clouds Sometimes white and sometimes grey And in my darkest hour Console myself with the promise that I’ll pray There are some [...]

Pisces retreats

Me, I’m going deeper in Going back to places I’ve been Me, I’m gonna look at the smoke And see what images it evokes Me, I’m gonna do some crying It’s been no use, all this trying Me, I’m gonna chant me a Vishnu mantra Though, I confess, I don’t know any tantra. Me, I’m [...]

I fell for Pluto, too

I was charmed, my dark lord, By your armor, by your sword. Your need to always be armed  Caught my fancy, had me disarmed. I was much taken by your unsmiling face: It had no expression that I could trace. Swept away by your mystery Long I wondered about your history. And was rewarded by [...]

Transit: Pluto conjuncts the Moon

I’m just standing here quietly, peacefully. Watching the dust settle down. If you wanted to know, this is what I’m doing: I’m standing quietly with everything lying shattered around me. I’m not crying now. I cried before when I thought it was going to shatter, to collapse in a heap. Now I’m just picking my [...]
