I’m just back home from the Midwest Astrology Conference at the Double Tree Hotel in Independence, Ohio, near Cleveland. If you didn’t get a chance to go, well, here’s a rundown on my experience. This was my first time attending an astrology conference, yea, first time meeting another astrologer in the flesh. (This is after 9 years of studying in isolation and only talking with other astrologers by email or telephone.) I had a great time.

I didn’t realize things were so bad up there… I’ve been having a good few weeks, the first in ages too.

Z – I think some people thrive in inclement weather. I know I do. I went to an astrology meeting once, about 12 years ago, the topic was gambling. There was a gal presenting who had various theories about when a person should or should not gamble.

Well I haven’t gambled in a while but I used to gamble quite a bit and I was stoopid lucky. I once broke open 6 slot machines in one casino in the space of 2 hours. The mechanic would hear the bell and come running… “You, again?” It was embarrassing!

Anyway, I have won way more than my share, and back at the lecture the gal presenting asked the audience to chime in.

One gal, obviously psychically sensitive said that if you walked into a casino and the energy was bad, you should leave. Say what?

“That may be true for some, but for me… when I walk in a casino and I can feel how bad it is, well it just fires me up,” I said. “I become very determined to win. The thing is the energy in general. To me it doesn’t matter if it is good or bad, only that there is a lot of it, the more the better.”

People turned to stare as they always do at these things. I was so embarrassed.

A few minutes later they held the drawing for a door prize. I won and was mortified. For someone with such a big mouth, I sure hate attention! So anyway, finally the thing ended (thank God) and I got out of there as fast as I could. Have you ever seen a walking person, run? That’s me.

Do you ever bolt like this?

My coffee date was going to the desert last week, for work. He was going to Sedona, specifically. There is an astrology conference there at the end of March, if you didn’t know. It’s called “The Blast”. But anyway, since I am from desert, he asked what he could expect.

“Sedona? Well I can’t tell you much. I’ve only been there once. I was on a blind date in a plane, if you can believe that. Yeah. Some guy took me on a blind date in a plane and we stopped there for lunch. We just landed, ate lunch and left to go fly around the Grand Canyon, which was cool. They don’t let you do that anymore. No more flying around in a plane in the Canyon!”

“You had a blind date in a plane?” Continue reading Jupiter in Sagittarius – A Plane Story About Sedona, Arizona – Home of The Blast Astrology Conference

This is another thing that happened at one of these seminars. Actually, nothing but things happen at these seminars. I just go from event to event to event, suffering.

But anyway, I once saw astrologer, Robert P. Blaschke speak and it was awful. Not his talk. His talk was superb. In fact, he was my favorite speaker at the entire conference. However I cried through his entire presentation. And I was sitting in the front row, no less so it was especially hideous. Continue reading Tales of Astrology Seminars… Part Six : Robert P. Blaschke

I was talking to pal and astrologer, cf perez today about feeling lousy for no reason. This is how it is for Saturn Neptune. Your depression has no basis in reality and either does your bliss! Get it? I can feel bereft for no reason at all. I can also feel like I am walking around with God on steroids, totally taking care of me and I have no reason for that either/

Lucky for me I run about 90/10 away from depression, but anyway we were discussing this. And cf was reminding me how we are part of the collective and we take on and take in whatever is going on. And there is so much going on. And it’s especially gloomy in Denver right now. It’s cold!
