Are You Ready for the March 2010 Astrology Day Blogathon?

Both Astrology and Art things are really simmering on the hob now in preparation for March 20's Spring Equinox 2010 as a variety of astrologers prepare informative articles for the 2010 Astrology Day Blogathon! If you read any Astrology at all, you know that Spring 2010 begins the difficult time period of Cardinal T-Square and Grand Cross energies which will last into 2014.

These patterns between Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto were also in effect during the Great Depression of the 1930s so full economic recovery may be remain on the backburner for a few more years, sad to say. Therefore, the 2010 Astrology Day Blogathon will contain articles on how best to navigate these difficult energies by way of practical solutions.

Plus, I am honored to be offering a little Cosmic and Moon Art to go along! More on that later.

Pictured above: Mystic Biscuit Tea Room which is my meager representation of a dream I had a while back: a cosmically inspired Tea Room serving teas, coffees, and steamy biscuits and jam, with for-sale Astrology books on the shelves, and my office tucked in back from whence I offer insightful Astrology consultations.

Ahhh! Yet so far it's only a dream and a drawing though I often have tea simmering on the hob. But from the looks of it I could use more customers, pass the butter!

So stay tuned for more details on the 2010 Astrology Day Blogathon and you may wish to keep current with Donna Cunningham's blog Skywriter for important updates on this upcoming online event which will provide Practical Ideas for Our Trying Times.

Return of the 'Silver Tree'

Silver Tree is a drawing from 1996 when I using paper in the 18" x 22" or 20" x 24" sizes. But these days all my drawings are scanner bed size, know what I mean?

There are two reasons I think this image looks yellow-ish...it's third generation because it's been scanned from a slide (you do remember slides, right?), and back then I embossed most of my drawings with silver pencil (actually aluminum which stays silver-looking longer than an actual silver pencil could.)

Perhaps I should have titled it 'Aluminum Tree' but somehow that's not as...lyrical.

The original framed and matted Silver Tree has been described to me by more than one person as looking as if a unicorn might step out from behind the foliage.

Well, what do you think? Are you imagining any magical creatures in the forest? ;p

Take a 'Uranian Road' for Spring Equinox 2010!

Soon it will be time for the 1st annual International Astrology Blogathon scheduled for March 19 - 21, 2010. Various authors will present articles to aid us with the challenges brought by the now-forming T-Square pattern between heavyweights Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto.

This difficult planetary pattern will influence the collective off and on from 2010 - 2014 so practical ideas are in order from the most up-to-date astrologers around. The most helpful info will be gained by readers who have a copy of their own natal charts so that the houses involved may be noted yet Blogathon articles will be educational for everyone.

If you wish to keep updated on the Blogathon and its Aries Ingress 2010 celebrations visit Donna Cunningham at SkyWriter where it's all happening at the zoo...and with your Auntie Moon, C. J. Wright, helping coordinate, along with Mandi Lockley from Astroair Astrology.

Part of my own Blogathon 2010 contribution is a new drawing 'Uranian Road' which is now available as a small Art Poster for your wall, or as adornment upon an electric blue tote bag for stylishly transporting your Astrology books or other stuff. For as you undoubtedly know, one of Uranus' favorite colors is electric blue so grab a sneak peek of 'Uranian Road' by checking out my Zazzle Art Shop offerings.

'Shroomhome on Silvery Tree Path

'Shroomhome on Silvery Tree Path is actually not one of the original drawings from an early attempt at writing and illustrating a children's book, it's a more recent effort.

No, I'm not certain at this point which of the story's characters lives here though perhaps it's the home of one of the Chimes Sisters who appear each Saturday evening at the Roasted Root Cafe, premiere gathering spot in the Great Lichen Forest!
