I love astrology. I've used it now for at least 20 years. It still seems huge and dense to me so I've gone to Bill Herbst, an astrologer for readings every couple of years to help me navigate the waters of my life. I've found it hugely helpful, better than therapy.

I've become a huge fan of Anne Ortelee's astrology podcast, listening for over a year or two now and I really like her a lot. She's very grounded and gives good advice that often is just good plan common sense mixed with astrology, dream analysis, psychotherapy, mythology, and I'm sure other things too. She can sift through it all and explain the stars in a way that week to week is very helpful, comforting, and urges one to dig deeper, to heal old wounds and promote self growth. Plus she just sounds like a really cool woman, who I'd love to be friends with on top of it all.

In the past week or two Neptune has gone in to Pisces for the first time in 164 years. No one living at least has had experience in this new phase. So we're all sifting through new waters, dreams, ending things, trying to get our footing on new ways we want to live our lives while we're being dragged under this week to mine the depths of the murky stuff we've not dealt with, there's a lot more to it than that, but in a nutshell it's one more phase of hard work that's been set up for us to transform ourselves.

Tonight I listened to Anne's podcast again, while I made this postcard in oil pastel. I carved out the lines that made the image. She's under the water, her tears becoming the fish's bubbles, mining ideas that burst through up to the sky to become form.

May we all have success through the coming months of mining our own souls for dreams and ideas that become our own abundant beautiful reality.
