It also rules groups, New age, change. It is the 'inner knowing'. The still small inner voice which is an intuition beyond reason. Meditation will help make us more aware of this knowing. Sit comfortably and feel your breath on your nostrils. when the thoughts come ...let them go. Mercury will be retrograde on 1/21/15 for three weeks. Great time to reorganize, redo, revisit many areas of ourselves, our home, our jobs. This is the 'dawning of the age of Aquarius' so come on people let's get together and experience 'one love'.

New beginnings. Hope is here.Time to be practical, set up boundaries, and make long range plans. Capricorn is traditional but with the uranian aspect new and improved methods may work best. Capricorn wants a plan. It is thoughtful and a bit harsh at times but it is also the karmic energy. We can expect a report card from saturn/capricorn. Mine will be in the 4th house of home, beginning and end of things and parents. I will let you know what happens. Uranus is transiting the 7th house of 'the other' and our relationships with others. Depending on where Capricorn falls in your chart, that will mark the area of action. I find it best to meet the energies head-on and begin work on my home and relationships before it begins 'working' me! Happy New Year everyone and things will get better if we work on them. The big question is : where we come from nobody knows, where we're going everything goes. The wind blows, the sea flows and nobody knows.' (From Robert Nathan...

What a delicious meal I had at Viana's Restaurant which is located at 300 White Horse Rd. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious. I was given a very generous portion. The outer layer of the crispy chicken was very light and tasty. The sauce was excellent. My friend had the Chicken Abruzzi. I knew it was delish since they couldn't talk. Just "Mmm..mmm", as they ate. It was a huge plate with sweet roasted long hots, sherry basil marinara over pasta light balsamic and a huge piece of chicken over the pasta. When we arrived we received a plate of roasted garlic in olive oil with rosemary to dip our warm bread. The salad,which was included, had fresh, crisp lettuce with a couple of thinly sliced cucumber pieces, a tomato slice and carrot shavings with a nice balsamic drizzle. The dining experience couldn't have been better. The staff was warm and friendly. I will be returning. 5*****rating

The full moon brings the water to a boil, especially in this bloggers life. In one week three family members wound up in the hospital. One got out and another one went in. Lots of prayers are being sent. Busy days and some thought provoking moments. Mercury is in aspect to the Sagittarius sun and Gemini moon. Many philosophical thoughts and everyday details to tend to. Hopefully, many of you spent good times with friends and made good memories.

If you haven't been to Carlucci's Restaurant, you better go! I invited my friend Edna out to lunch.  I found out that the Lobster Trap on the Cooper River was closed for good. We like to eat near the water. Someone mentioned the old Pirate's Inn, which is now Carlucci's on the waterfront (Rancocas Creek). What a surprise. This restaurant is a treasure, Great food, easy directions, beautiful view and friendly staff.  

 The effects of the solar eclipse of oct. 23 will be felt for 3 months. The area of your chart ruled by scorpio will be highlighted. Some examples are: 1st house- appearance, 2nd  house - money, values, etc. Eclipses energize the areas in your chart ruled by these signs. Planets in the early degrees of the signs will be energized also.

Last weekend I saw 'The Judge'. Robert Duvall, one of the greatest actors played the dad. He was  perfect for the part. He was an old grumpy, resentment- filled man but I still loved him. It was a truly touching movie and his portrayal was award winning. It brought up a lot of 'father' memories for me so I thought I would share the poem I wrote about my dad. remembrances of dad i sit here looking at the world war II photo of you in your lt. commander's uniform. you loved to garden and photograph us in front of the old magnolia tree. your blue eyes would melt into pools when you spoke of your mom- my nana. she had your same blue eyes and you both loved to dance. on st. patrick's day we'd go down to the basement and dance a jig. we'd watch the fights on friday nights and 'budgie' would fly onto your beer can and take a sip or two. you kept your promise to mom, not to die 'til she did. i'd bring you home for dinner and you...
