Retrogrades

Progress with no hindsight may occur for a limited time until incontrovertible boundaries are exceeded. From running too hard and too fast without training, to driving a car without regular maintenance, to pursuing goals without pausing to consider deeper and broader issues.  Unlimited progress is the propaganda of capitalism and those who’ve delegated payment ofContinue reading “Retrogrades”

Mirror, Mirror

‘May I do your Astrology, please?’ ‘Yeah but you know it’s shit.’ ‘I knew you would say that.’ I went on to accurately define the lack of awareness he has of his defensive self-expression, Cancer ASC with Moon in 12th, his inherent non-chalance, Sun in Libra in 4th conjunct North Node, and his incredible intellectualContinue reading “Mirror, Mirror”
