Mercury Goes Direct In Scorpio
Full Brain Function Resumes
My latest notebook: Moments Precieux!
Moments Precieux was a suprise from the last two days. I had the blank notebook lying about for weeks, meaning to paint it...but then time kept slipping by and I had the cute fabric covered book from AMS that I added stuff, to personalize...but it's not the same. I need my archives to be arranged properly...But I was lacking ideas, until Venus went to Capricorn and I just wanted to do it. I figured I could play around with my stuff, until something hits. With collage, it's sorting out a puzzle and scavenging for the pieces.
Usually, I will have one hint, like the title, a concept or actual visuals--or a combo of the three. I love when it comes together and how amazing that feels to put finishing touches...
This time around, I was not working ahead of myself in any way. No ideas, but I liked the brown paper the best, so started by covering the entire notebook in it....Then, pulled out the supplies, started playing around and voila--as soon as the fence was laid, they were obviously tracks to me and obviously she would be at one end and the train at the other. Of course, despite the grim predicaments, there are still more than enough seconds for the track to get switched or she gets pulled off or she rolls off herself. She may not be tied to the tracks. She could of put on the blindfold herself. If anything, I see Moments Precieux as a study in hope.

Saturn Goes Direct In Scorpio
Turmoil, Back On Full Blast
Oh yeah, got to love it, bad ass Saturn is back to full tilt boogie and in that crazy bitch Scorpio. To honor it in true Mercury Rx style, here's one from the archives, Life Sucks!
I wrote this gem when I was a teenager, for the hardcore band I joined when i was 15, called E.G.O., which stood for Extra Genital Orgasm. We formed one night at our friend Roberta's post X-mas party, where we had crazy experiences ouija-ing. It was my friend Inchan's idea and his band name. He was the guy that was in a band with anyone and everyone with any musical ability, even if it was just being into the same stuff.
By default of not knowing how to play any instruments, I was the lead singer. And of course I can't sing, so we were hardcore, because I could scream. We had a rehearsal the next day, where we composed a song about the Ouija and I went outside to scream my lyrics, while Inchan and Christine, the two in the band that could play music, banged something out on a baby grand piano in Christine's living room with the front door open, so we could hear each other. That lasted for an hour or so.
Six months later, we had another rehearsal. This time, in Inchan's garage with a real set-up -- drums, guitar and amps. Inchan even drank beer....Our friend John did say, from his experience of being in a band wth Inchan that, "... he always takes over the whole band."
Obviously, I was totally cool with that, since the only thing I liked about any of it was saying I was in a hardcore band, which I actually had no one to tell. Eventually, I did get booted to the back, to the drums, but I did sign up for lessons, but only got so far as to buy the sticks and carry them around. I just couldn't wake up early enough to get to any lesson. My life as a pseudo rock star was a disaster and had no chance. All I could get down were the habits.
Anyway, Life Sucks was actually written after my first day of college, when I was17, in 5 minutes, because in that deep desperation, I really did wish E.G.O. could of been my option. That was/is how I felt/feel and somewhere in another dimension, it would of been our band's anthem song.
...and years later, I put it in my 1st book ANGST, but under the name Babelicious, who I made live in London, in hopes the publisher would think there was an audience there and would send me there. Of course, they never did, but in the book I did include 4 of the poems from my teenage days.....and it seems nothing has changed at all.

Mercury goes direct in Pisces!
Feel it! Feel it!
Pisces only goes in two ways, up or down. So, with Mercury going direct, this means the pressure will be lifted and chances for thoughts to move towards a more upwardly flow is more probable....To feel the power, here is a Mercury goes direct in Pisces theme to get into its groove...

Saturn goes direct
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead! Karma back working for you, not against you.
A big dose of happiness for you today!
It's Margarita Pracatan, magic maven, performer extraordinaire, a friend of mine and one of my personal heroes. I first saw Margarita on her public access show in which she plays hot hits in her special style, with her keyboards and flashing psychedelic graphics throughout. It was a late afternoon some time in the late 90s and it was instant love. Her number was on the bottom of the screen throughout her show and I called immediately to interview her as a role model for the teen girls I was writing for at that time and lucky me, we became friends. Even more amazingly fun in person, I love her to bits — full of life, love and positivity and if you click below, you'll know what I mean. Enter the fun and glamour! Pracatan!
