This is from September, 2008 recorded in advance of the US election. At the time most everyone stood on one side of the Saturn Uranus opposition preparing to vote against the other. A year later I think most can see how there is no one side or the other as planets in opposition are inextricably linked like the chicken and the egg.

From 2007 - Please excuse the tears in this. I left them in because they are Venus / Neptune of course. Stephen Arroyo’s book is linked below. So is Leonard Cohen’s Energy of Slaves. I think my 8th house is also vividly displayed here. I get pregnant… easy.

UPDATE in 2009, I wound up sending the book of poems to the soldier’s son when he was in Iraq…

Double Gemini and astrologer Claire-France Perez befriends the repulsive - Me! (recorded March, 2008)

Michael Erlewine has been a man to know in the astrological world for more than 40 years. He founded Matrix Software in 1977. It was the first astrology company as well as one of the first software companies on the internet right alongside Microsoft.

If you like your ability to calculate charts in seconds you’ve got Erlewine to thank. I’ve got Erlewine to thank for finding out I am a Capricorn rising rather than Aquarius! My sister messed up the math when we were kids and if software had not been created where would I be right now, hmm? More than confused than ever!

He contacted me a few days ago to ask if I would be interested being interviewed by him and I jumped at the chance. A flurry of emails followed.

Erlewine is a compelling and immensely kind and generous man. I enjoyed working with him tremendously and I hope you like the result.

Thank Micheal Erlewine for astrology software here.

Uranus rules astrology and with Saturn opposing, career comes to mind. I really think astrology is going mainstream and seems to me to be ready to come up like some kind of rogue wave. However I am an astrologer and in reality I am finding it harder and harder.

The difficulty is not in finding clients. I have more clients then I have ever had in my career, it is in what I have to tell them that is so daunting and difficult.

I have had a couple of people post me about their entire post showing up on the Astro Dispatch. In short they don’t like it and I wouldn’t like it either.

Please be assured I am a person who creates content myself and I have no interest in stealing anyone’s work. Matter of fact my entire focus is to drive traffic to astrology writers so let me tell you how this works.

If is the blogger’s choice what they send out on their feed. I have this “dispatch machine” set to show the first 100 words of a post which is what you see on the front page. However, if the blogger sends out their entire post on the feed, then it in fact does wind up on this site!

Okay we’re up and running! Meet my new baby, Astro Dispatch!

Now I think it’s glorious but I am going to tell you everything I know (or think I know) about this: It will not replace the Top 10 Astrology News or the recent Astro News unless other people pitch in and here is why (especially for you newer astrology bloggers).

I set up the Top 10 Astrology News almost 2 years ago. Seeing astrology going more and more mainstream, I thought we (astrology bloggers) could get more attention if we pulled together. As many of you know, it is very hard to build an audience but I’d done it. I had an audience because I have been writing online daily since 2001, so I set up the Astrology News with feeds from all the astrology blogs (there were about 40 at the time) and it worked.

I am getting ready to make a video, it’s the kind of thing that will piss off more people than it will please so I asked myself, why? Today’s Mercury square Pluto offers the opportunity to become aware of and accept your own motivations which may or may not be noble and I’m taking advantage.

I don’t do it because I want to be provocative or controversial although this may be the result. My motive is much more selfish, I simply want to get to the next (a deeper) level and to do that I have to shuck off this other stuff. So while may seem…whatever you care to project (I think I am Oprah is a common one) what I really want to do is get smarter and this is the only way I know how to do that.

I would go on to say, this is so important to me I don’t care the damage it does my reputation. I am already an astrologer and it’d be hard to damage a reputation beyond that.

Can anyone relate?

There’s a local little newspaper around the corner from where I live where I do freelance layout sometimes. There are articles about local politics, or which church is getting new bells, and if the University plans to renovate or move. Most pertinently, though, there are also weekly horoscopes, and I was curious about them.

On my first day at the newspaper, I sneaked a peek at the “Horoskop” file and found 52 weeks worth, each sign having three sentences, all neatly laid out on one big page. The weeks in Germany are commonly assigned a number, and right now, in case you don’t know, we are in Week 34.

Great news (especially for me) on the new Astro News. We found a way to get all the feeds to work which is a great relief because I have been trying to keep up adding them manually like some kind of crazed gerbil. I am loading the feeds now and should have everyone in there by tomorrow so if you are posting and now having your headline show up near the end of the week, please email and let me know.

Now many of you know the Top 10 Astrology News came back up unexpectedly, the same way it went down. I am greatly relieved because it represents and ungodly amount of work over the last 2 years. So it is going to be there (as far as I know) but will be morphing into a collection of astrology blog headlines where the Astro News will be what Top 10 was… a very robust and often updated source of astrology-themed content from all over the web courtesy this gerbil, Elsa P.
