It’s True — I Am Crushing On a Girl!
Yep. You read that right! I, the openly gay astrologer/tarotist/psychic/kabbalist am totally smitten with a girl. How can this even be possible?

Mercury Moves Into Water Cancer

Mercury is like a child that has to test and experiment [...]
It’s Not About The Weiner
Attempting to write about the general cosmic energy of an eclipse is challenging at best, but sometimes the media works perfectly in providing material that expresses the eclipse energy in a profound and universal way.

The 12 Days of Yule: Day 10 — Energize Your Inner Child
During the 1970’s, the initial steps of analytical psychology merging with pop culture began with the advent of transactional analysis. The recovery movement quickly jumped on the “band wagon” addressing new concepts such as codependency and adult child issues. The movement gave birth to noted authors such as Melody Beattie, Ernie Larsen, John Bradshaw, Alice [...]
