“Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.” —Alexander Graham Bell This morning as I was walking my dog I listened to a podcast of This American Life called “Million Dollar Idea.” One of the stories was about Michael Larson, a perpetual seeker of “The Big Opportunity” who ended up beating a game show’s formula in 1984. The game show was ironically titled “Press Your Luck.” According... Read more

Sunday inspiration: Take what you are and use it

Last updated on: August 28, 2011 at 7:10 am By Lynn Hayes

At a ritual recently I learned of a wonderful book called Remedios: Stories of Earth and Iron. Each us of selected one of the remedios, and mine was Milk Thistle. The story of Milk Thistle is very appropriate for the Virgo New Moon so I’d like to share it with you for this Sunday’s inspiration. (Image is Ancestor Spirits by Willow Arlenea.) Milk Thistle works with what is here: the yellow layers of toxins, the charcoal grit, the green bile... Read more

New Moon in Virgo, August 28 2011

Last updated on: August 27, 2011 at 6:25 am By Lynn Hayes

New Moons are the beginning of a new lunar cycle and a time to wash away the past and begin anew. What we call the astrological New Moon, the exact moment in which the Sun and Moon are aligned in a new zodiacal sign, is actually the dark of the Moon. Not a sliver of the Moon is visible at this time: it is absolute potentiality. The previous cycle is complete, and something new is beginning. In Virgo the New... Read more

Those of us on a spiritual path seek transformation and spiritual evolution but then resist it when the experience is upon us. This is human nature since the ego seeks to control the experience of the life – to surrender that control can be frightening to many of us, especially if we have planets in fixed signs (like I do!!) which tend to be more inflexible and lack adaptability. But life is about change and adaptation, and understanding the astrological... Read more

An interesting astrological history

Last updated on: August 23, 2011 at 6:58 pm By Lynn Hayes

I confess I have never heard of Simon Forman, so I found this article about him very informative (it was posted on Facebook by Stephanie Gailling of Planetary Apothecary). He was an astrologer in the late 16th century, predating William Lilly who is one of the more famous medieval astrologers and evidently inherited a wealth of Forman’s knowledge via Elias Ashmole who collected Forman’s papers after death. Forman may have been one of the first medical astrologers. Though he “fancied... Read more
