Astrology & Psychotherapy. Both can be part of our active imagination!

"Get in there, kid and snap them" This is a sincere response to a post that I put up on an Astrologer's Facebook site. No reprise from him and then he deleted my post response.

Frank Cotton: “demons to some… …angels to others”

The Cenobites are awesome and scary. Their directive is simple and the same as the plot of the film which is to bring pleasure or pain. Frank wants both. He gets his pain and pleasure.

Angry Angry woman

While driving my long drive home home I noticed a sign outlined in bold red, "Reiki treatment for shyness." I hate this. Sometimes Wellness clinics go too far.

Multiple-synchronicities

The other night at the local Pub, Scotland Yard, my friend, an expert toxicologist, was talking about synchronicity. She seemed a bit frustrated about them.
