Growth

It’s been a long time since I posted: I’ve been growing.

I’ve been exhuming my innate knowledge of how to keep house, play with toddlers and get dinner on the table at a decent hour. I’ll blog about that here soon.

I’ve also been doing chart interpretations and reading more books on astrology than I’ve been able to get to in a long time. I feel like I’ve finally made it across the desert to a cool, deep well.

And I’ve been planning and promoting workshops — not only here in L.A. but now a week-long one in Taos, New Mexico, slated for October 12-19. Put it on your calendar and check back here for more info soon!

Finally, I’ve been building new skills and expanding my audience over at Offsprung.com, a humorous website for parents. I didn’t think I could write funny, and trying my hand at it has definitely been a challenge: Check out my inaugural column here. But in the yin-yang of life, it’s been fun to push myself into a new way of seeing the world and communicating about it. It’s also been a wonderful reminder not to take myself too seriously — a crime I tend to commit serially.

While I use the Offsprung opportunity to poke fun at myself, at the poorly-formed public image of astrology, and at the world at large, I do try to balance it with a little dose of serious information about horoscopes, astrologers and the state of the stars each time I write: I’m hoping to indoctrinate readers one-by-unsuspecting-one.

So this space will likely be a bit slower for a few more weeks as I find my sea legs in the world of online snark, sarcasm and parenting advice. But don’t give up on me! I’ll be back, deepening the tracks of depth astrology on a regular basis once again.
