I hope you have all recovered from Mercury Retrograde.
It went direct on Tuesday Dec 13th about 5pm Pacific Standard Time.
This was in Scorpio so it was very intense for most people.
So forgive yourself for all the goof ups!
The planet Jupiter which we love has been in retrograde goes direct on Christmas day.
Christmas day should be joyous… enjoy it!
Even if you don’t celebrate it.
Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year!
My next post should have some reviews of the Oakland Art Murmur.
Halloween was wonderful. Last year 3 friends and I went to the SFMOMA costume party and we wanted to return this year. Only 2 of us could go. One said the date was Fri. eve at 7. I felt rushed so I bundled up the elements I picked out from the closet and drove over to Fiona’s. Only to arrive and hour early. Chuckle. Chuckle. I had on a full length silver sequin lingerie coat with several feather boas with no hat just my hair. So we had tea and dressed in our outfits before Barting off to San Francisco. It is fun to be public and in costume both on the train and walking the streets. Well, we got to the museum and it was dark. Wrong night.
So we decided to pub it. Next to the Jewish Museum is a bar based on the wine country estates. All of the sections only had chardonnay and I like dry white wine. On to the next place which was the new Four Seasons Hotel bar with cocktails for Fiona and a Tuscan dry white for me. And nice snacks. Yum. they loved our costumes.
Then we decided to go window shopping in our costumes. All the big stores with lots of compliments on our costumes on the way to the train and home.
Much fun.
Nov. 2, just came back from voting and this year the place was Studio One Art Center and Theater in Oakland. This 100 year old building was been refurbished by SKARC.com. It is beautiful. Just plain beautiful. Making it a pleasure to be in.

Just plain beautiful. Making it a pleasure to be in. Another one of Oakland’s hidden treasures. It is located on 45th Street next to the swimming pool.
We are coming out of a period of intense strain on everybody. It has been a combination of Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter in aline in the sky which is very rare. Whatever Pluto touches, it takes you to the bottom of the barrel, it takes you deep inside where you usually don’t go. Saturn is the task master of the Universe. It is telling us to get it together. Deal with your issues and take care of it now. Uranus is the spiritual planet of change. It forces change automatically and quickly. You have no choice about it. You have to pick up the pieces and get it to work. Whenever the planet Jupiter is in your chart, you will find life easy and feel a general sense of well being. However that was disconnected during this transit. It’s very important for everyone to work on issues that have come up because in 2012 these issues come up again in greater detail. So the Universe is telling us to be prepared.
Many fear the end of the world in 2012, but it is just the end of the Mayan calendar. We are being urged to make the necessary shifts in our lives so we can go into this new arena together.
For me October is pumpkin pies and beautiful Indian Summer days. It’s warm and it’s beautiful and it makes me feel great.
There is still room for people to join in my workshops and classes. I would be delighted to have you.
A show that I recently saw at the Walnut Creek Art Center / Bedford Gallery was the WPA show. And for those of you who do not know what WPA is, it was an art program instigated by President Roosevelt to put the artist to work during the depression of the 1930s. The show is mainly prints, there are also watercolors, drawings, and photographs. During the opening, they had music from that period. It is an interesting show of high quality work from California collections. The Bedford Gallery is two and a half blocks from the Walnut Creek Bart station.
And of course there is Halloween to look forward to. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has a wonderful Halloween party with a costume contest and prizes. I’ll see you there. Go to their website for more details.
