Inside Out & Inside Out 2 and Astrology- Of Course!
What would your emotions look like if you could see them? Maybe seeing your emotions in whatever form they might take isn’t necessary.

Malefics and Benefics- the Labels We Give Planets
I recently read an article from a well-known Western Astrologer about his upcoming webinar on Mars. He stated how unfortunate it is that the planet Mars gets labeled as a 'malefic'.

Part 3 – Miyazaki’s Saturn
You may have been wondering why I didn’t mention Saturn in Part 1 or 2 when writing about Miyazaki’s planets. Well, it just didn’t jump out at me as an influence behind his creative genius. That said, I also know that no planet is unimportant or somehow ‘not’ involved. (That would be impossible.) So let’s … Continue reading Part 3 – Miyazaki’s Saturn
