There is a study that I think about a lot- it’s a study on the Maharishi Effect where a certain number of people get trained in transcendental meditation in a given city, and once the number of participants reaches a certain mathematical threshold — like a certain percentage of the population — their meditation sessions […]

Over the past year (actually several), my boyfriend has been reading through my large and mostly unread collection of Carl Jung books, and I’ve heard all about Jung’s long-windedness and inability to get to his point. Finally he’s found an essay of his that he likes, and that’s Answer to Job which he just finished

My boyfriend and I were walking the other night and we were talking about how important it is for kids to learn skills in order to be able to express what’s in their minds. He teaches coding to kids, and he just wrote a book about it, in which he says “we’re not teaching kids

I’m trying to write a script for a video about T-squares to record this weekend, and I’m stuck bouncing back and forth between the three planets that form my own t-square, which is a bit meta, but I want to get to the bottom of it. Being off for Christmas, I have these expectations that

Yesterday’s full moon in Cancer was really nice with its sextile to Jupiter and trine to Saturn, but Mars and Mercury were square Neptune, which may have added a sinister touch to your day, or you may have experienced someone driving a truck through your boundaries, or you may have been confused, misled, or gotten

The planets in a t-square can represent different archetypes in your life at different times. For example, as I wrote last week, the three warring planets of my t-square are Saturn, Neptune, and Mars, which often make it hard to stop snacking, with Neptune ruling my fourth house (emotions) and sitting in the 2nd house
Dec. 25- Stuck in a T-Square for Christmas Read More »
I was so excited about blogging this morning, I woke up at 5:40 am. I just graduated with my degree in political science last April (took me 20 years!), and politics has weighed heavy on my mind of late. Politics is as much about policy as it is about psychology, and I would like to
