Gentle reader, Patton Oswalt happened to throw his chart details out on Twitter for his birthday. Fun! I wish more celebrities would do that. And hey, what a cool chart. For those who may not know who Patton Oswalt is, he recently responded to someone trolling him on Twitter by boosting the guy's GoFundMe page. For [...]
Gentle Reader Sandy's questions afford me a perfect opportunity to christen the HMS Tarotsplained. I like to use a multidisciplinary approach. Let me note again that I recommend finding a competent therapist (PRO TIP: not necessarily the first, second, or even third one you talk to) and getting into a long-term therapeutic relationship. My mental [...]
So, this is really upsetting. There's actually nothing funny about it. The good thing is that the camel's back seems to have been broken on school shootings, thank God. Let's look at the chart before I say things I'll regret. The first thing I like to do is see where the Sun is and determine [...]
Friends, Romans, and astrologers: A beautiful thing has happened. Like the flap of a tiny butterfly's wing down by the river, a breeze has begun. Let all humanity rejoice. It seems quite small, and may not be permanent. But a federal judge has stood up to the unconstitutional, anti-human laws that make homelessness a crime [...]
I’m feeling the gestalt of this piece, which is truly life-changing for me. This was my first attempt at drawing myself. I have had a surprising amount of anxiety about drawing. I almost never draw anything, and it has never felt good. It never occurred to me to draw myself until a few months [...]
I have been making things all my life. But until a couple months ago, I was a craftsman. I didn't really understand the difference between arts and crafts. For as long as I can remember, I have been enormously anxious about drawing. I have always felt that I wouldn't be able to draw a representation [...]
Gentle reader, allow me to share with you my own personal Christmas Angel, Chicago's own Wesley Willis. Wesley was someone I bumped into quite often on the North Side of Chicago. He was always out and about. He went to every rock and roll show that came to town. He was often seen playing his keyboard [...]
I'm celebrating the holidays this year by Astrosplaining some Angels I Have Met (TM), people who were in my orbit in Chicago, like the adorable Lee Godie. This has been a pretty great year. Looking back on 2017, honestly I slept most of the time. I really needed it, I feel like a new woman. [...]
Lately I've gotten angrier more often. I've been actively managing my anger for decades, so this has been remarkable. I decided not to dwell in anger over a decade ago. By that I mean not buying into the idea that anger is appropriate other than as an indicator of a personal miscalibration. That was arguably [...]
