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

Mars enters Libra, July 30, 2010. This is from 2007:

Recently I’ve become aware of some very shadowy manifestations of my Mars (in detriment) in Libra. Eventually I’ll probably get my nerve up and write about it but to be candid writing things like this is doubly hard. First because I have to reveal my weakness in plain terms with real life examples which I actually don’t mind all that much. The part that is exceedingly difficult is the defending this once I’ve done it which becomes necessary because it is not politically correct to say, “This Mars in Libra is a lousy Mars!”

From 2008:

Astrologer, Claire-France Perez is a double Gemini and can’t help but be interesting.

“You don’t live in the world of agreement, sweetheart. You live by your heart…” she said. I can’t quote her fully because I can’t remember her words verbatim but she was essentially saying I did not do things so I could get along. “You don’t care if you get along with anyone, you care that you do what is right to you, in your heart.”

“Err…”

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. The planets are again opposed and I think most can see at this point, there is not 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…

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?
