The Dog Park Encounter

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Trish and Rob

Nigel – pooped from the heat, but ready to chase a ball!

For most of the summer, our dog park has been empty of dogs and people. except for a small group of us whose dogs can tell time. Between 2:20 – and 3 p.m., they’re ready to hit the dog park.

The other day, Rob and I and Nigel, Nika, and Abby were the only ones at the park. Then a couple came in with a dog and joined us in the shadiest spot.

Mark Konkol and his partner, Sasha Weinert,  were on a road trip from Chicago, with their  dog, Nelson. It’s their  way of celebrating the end of a 15-month lock down.  Mark is a journalist in Chicago- and Pulitzer-prize winner for local reporting!  – and in the link, explains that he and Sasha were in Wellington, looking for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who owns an estate here. They never found the governor, so we were the lucky ones to meet them.

From Wellington, they headed to Orlando, where this picture was taken.  And here’s the link to Mark’s terrific piece in patch.com

Even Nigel is mentioned!

Safe travels, you two!

The Sidewalk Oracle

Posted on June 26, 2021 by Trish and Rob

A writer friend whose life is in flux found this card on the sidewalk the other day and texted me.   “I was so taken back. This is what it means.  I’m ready. I was like, Wow!
I was going to pick it up but I said let me leave it for others to see and get their message.It gave me that boost I needed. Unreal.”

In the deck I use, this card is the equivalent of the  Ace of Wands and points to new beginnings in work/career, in life.  Sometimes it’s a timing card that points to spring.

I love this synchro!

Spirit Contact – on CNN?!

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Trish and Rob

 

I ran across this article about spirit contact on CNN. The headline is:

They lost their loved ones to Covid. Then they heard from them again

It struck me as a kind of media landmark. It isn’t written tongue in cheek. Take a look.

And today, a reminder, there’s a full moon in Capricorn. Read about it in the June astrology forecast in the masthead – and how it impacts your sign.

The Mystical Underground: Andy Paquette: The Ghost In The Dream

Posted on June 20, 2021 by Trish and Rob

A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Andy Paquette: The Ghost In The Dream”:

Join Trish and Rob for the first part of a conversation with…

Andy Paquette is back. Andy was here recently, but just as it was getting really interesting, we were cut short by technical difficulties. So we asked Andy to come back.

Andy Paquette is the author of “Dreams: 20 Years of Psychic Dreams” as well as a research paper on the spiritual content of dreams for King’s College in London. In his research, he used a dataset comprised of 34 dream journals that contained 12, 224 dream records that you produced over a period of 27 years. His intention was to explore the relationship between veridical and spiritual content in dreams.

He’s also an artist and as he describes it, “My background is all about making pictures: drawings, paintings, and photographs. I like to shoot athletes in part because I wasn’t allowed to participate in sports as a kid, but also because the culture of sports is rich in drama, excitement, inspiration, and even humor.”

He’s known primarily for his work as a CG artist in the feature film and video game industry. He also has worked as a comic book artist.

The Degree of Your Sun

Posted on June 19, 2021 by Trish and Rob

At some point in my love affair with astrology, I read that the degree of your natal sun usually corresponds to a pivotal event in your life that helped to shape who you are. Possibilities include: parental divorce, a significant move, the birth of a sibling, the death of a loved one. In other words, a BIG event.

When I first learned this, I tested it on the charts of people I knew well, starting with my own chart and that of my family. My Gemini sun is 16 degrees and 12 minutes. Five months after my 16th birthday, my parents left Venezuela, where I’d been born and raised, and moved to Florida. The significance of that move once prompted my dad to remark that since that move, I was reluctant to call any place home. And he was right.

Rob’s sun is 25 degrees and 27 minutes of Taurus. His corresponding age was around 25 – or 1973. He received a pardon from Gerald Ford for dodging the draft and refusing to go to Vietnam, a “crime” for which he was convicted  in 1972 and sentenced to alternative service.

Our daughter’s Virgo sun is 8 degrees and 32 minutes. Around that age – third grade – I had her I.Q. tested to see if she could get into the gifted program. The  school she was in just wasn’t challenging her. The school counselor tested her first. I  still remember sitting with the woman, who wouldn’t show me Megan’s actual score, but covered it up and showed me some other numbers that didn’t make any sense. I got annoyed and asked her to tell me what my daughter’s I.Q. was.

“94,” she finally said.

I burst out laughing and got Megan tested privately. Her I.Q. came out at 135 and she got into the gifted program. That made all the difference in her education.

My dad had a 26 degree 44 minutes Libra sun. He was around 27 when he met my mother on a blind date.

Recently I did a chart for a friend whose Virgo sun is 10 degrees and 58 minutes. Around the age of 11, she saw a UFO and everything in her life changed.

Another friend asked me to do a chart on a man she’s seeing, His sun was around 8 degrees. At that age, his brother was nearly killed in an accident.

When I do charts for people born right on the cusp between two signs and the sun is 00 degrees and a few minutes, I always ask if something big occurred at the person’s birth. Often, there were complications at birth. One man was born with the cord wrapped around her neck. A woman was born dead and revived.

Here’s the place to get your free birth chart.

Just enter your name, place and date of birth. If you don’t know the time, use noon. The sun travels a degree a day, so you’ll be able to see the degree but the minutes may not be correct. Take note of the sun’s degree, use that for your age, and think back. What pivotal event occurred for you that year?

I think of this as synchronicity in action.

Reports from Merc Retros

Posted on June 17, 2021 by Trish and Rob

 

This Mercury retro in Gemini started on May 29, 2021 and ends on June 22. Today is June 17.   So we’ve got less than a week to go.   Take a look at this checklist and note which ones apply to you in the last week or so.

1 I’ve heard from someone in my immediate or distant past

2) I’ve had computer/ electronics problems

3) My travel plans suddenly changed

4) M cell phone got lost – or stolen

5) My luggage got lost

6) I started weeding out stuff I no longer use

7) I signed – or didn’t sign – a contract

8 My appointments got screwed up

9 I returned several items I bought.

10)I had a chance encounter with a stranger & we traded numbers.

11) I got lost en route to…

12) An opportunity that surfaced a while back came up again.

13) My ex-spouse showed up in my life.

14) Old wounds surfaced.

15)  I had some oddball synchronicities

For Mercury retrogrades, there are more possibilities then these. But this list includes the most common snafus and dilemmas. Which ones apply to you?

-For me, just a week into this retro, computer issues and weirdness have been the norm.

Something I wrote was rejected.

A woman I hadn’t heard from since the last Mercury retrograde emailed me out of the blue.

I bought a Carl Jung book that I erroneously sent to our daughter rather then myself.

Tech issues on a recent Zoom meet-up.

But the worst so far? I got a call from Megan, who was feeding three cats while the owner was out west somewhere, getting married. She walked into the house and found one of the cats dead. It brought back memories of the sudden death of her own cat, Piper, a year earlier. As every parent knows, that call you get from your sobbing kids in the middle of the day or night is always the worst.

I’m practically holding my breath until June 22, when Mercury turns direct again.Until then, I’m revising, reviewing, reconsidering.

Montana: Like a Foreign Country

Posted on June 15, 2021 by Trish and Rob

 

After Rob and I received our 2nd Pfizer vaccine, I started thinking about our first out of state- or out of country- trip since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.  I hungered to visit a foreign country, but the dicey situation with travel to another country seemed too complex to navigate.

Then in May, a work opportunity presented itself , in Montana. I’d never been to the state, Rob had but years earlier. So off to Montana  we went. The photo above was my first glimpse of the state, and my first thought was, Uh-oh. Winter.

The plane trip , two flights, wee sheer torture, crammed into a middle seat, no room to cross my legs, rest my elbows, and no food except goldfish crackers. And a bottle of water. Or a soft drink.Or coffee. Flying is no longer fun.

But we landed at Kalispell – the airport for the Glacier National Park – it was ten at night – midnight our time – and I was too tired to notice much of anything except that I was cold. I think it was 44 degrees. The air smelled cold, clean,

We checked into the Firebrand Hotel in downtown Whitefish. As we headed upstairs to our room, I kind of felt like I was inside a Stephen King novel. Such silence. But I slept nine hours.

 

From this spot the next morning, we toured the town on foot. By car.

We visited a bookstore where the owner has a sticker on the front door that’s telling:

This isn’t a diverse town. I saw only four African-Americans, heard Spanish only when we ate lunch at a Latino restaurant, and yet, it’s the only blue spot in Montana. The beauty is incomparable and so strange to me, as a Floridian, that it counts as a foreign country. Our first night, we ate dinner here:

The little kid in the corner was having a good time scrambling around the deck. Stay tuned for our venture into Glacier National Park.
