I help leaders to make their firms or agencies stronger by using digital social technologies to relate to people, so the organization becomes more human. Being human also makes more money. My new book, The Social Channel, is coming out in 2015. The focus...

Sharp Contrast: USA in Nature and Its Human Things
I have just returned from a railroad trip to the only areas of USA in which I had not lived, worked, or visited, and a striking dichotomy of the country presented itself. Its natural beauty is stunning in diversity and raw beauty. It is quietly majestic and overwhelming in scale. Its vastness enhances its natural splendor. In sharp contrast to USA’s natural beauty is the ugliness of the…

Cancer New Moon 2025 [Astro Weather Brief]
The reunion of Moon with Sun in Cancer is upon us, summer is here, and it’s time to scrape off the grill and make sure our beach gear is complete. If only. the Cancer idyll this year is peppered with a tight yod and two T-squares, so much strife amid the harmony. Our desire for summer, to reunite family and close friends around home faces obstacles that, when we are aware of them can be less…

What Can You Learn?

I am Dying, and… [Augenblick]
As I mentioned in Making Death a Part of Life, Death has become my life partner, and I am so glad to have it by my side. Since it is certain that I will “pass over to the other side,” having death beside me is comforting, a kind of cosmic Doppelgänger. Okay, that is a pretty easy concept, but how does it actually work? Here is a simple example that has helped me completely reframe the process of…

A Slow Boil of the Human Brain [Pluto Disruption]
Have you noticed that all kinds of tech interfaces are increasingly bristling with bots and assistants lately? Whatever we are trying to do while using a smartphone or web interface, we have new options galore, mostly powered by some kind of artificial intelligence (AI). It is getting easier and easier to do less and less. As I explained briefly in Gemini New Moon 2025, every sign of the zodiac…

Gemini New Moon 2025 [Astro Weather Brief]
Gemini New Moon 2025 looks to be a lively and charged with surprising social change and transformation that may favor society over the individual. This is likely to involve hightech and artificial intelligence (AI). Old hurtful issues can present in relationships, and business is fast and furious with tons of communication and ideas as well as potential strife between employers and employees.…

Life as Sacred Practice, Connection (Augenblick)
I have shared some of my sacred practices and that I observe that my/our energy with which we act can make the action sacred or profane. Today, I encountered a beautiful example of a sacred, connected culture, some of whose practices I had unknowingly adopted, so I’ll briefly describe it and how we can learn from it.

The Drive to Virtuality, an AI Knock-on Effect [Pluto Disruption]
Disruptive tools have periodically disrupted how humans have lived and died; “tech” is simply the latest example. It is natural for us to apply new tools to everything to discover their benefits and limits, so the adoption curve of artificial intelligence (AI) is on the early part of the curve, which is the “elation” phase. Right now, its power may seem limitless. My crystal ball says that AI…

Manmade Is Straight, Nature Is Round [Augenblick]
Just in from the Department of Hidden in Plain View. Have you ever noticed that nothing in nature is (perfectly) straight? I think this is due to the fact that every object or being in nature develops over time, so variance in the environment result in different patterns in the object or being. In addition, there is no reason for something to be perfectly straight, unless of course, it is formed…

Taurus New Moon 2025 [Astro Weather Brief]
Get ready for a complicated month with a vengeance! Mars in the master of ceremonies this month as it is the connector of this cycle’s two dramas, the grand cross in which Mars opposes Pluto and Lilith opposes Sun and Moon as well as the lingering Pluto–Aries party that Neptune is hosting. Mars in Leo is much more dynamic and more able to express its innate energy: due to its retrograde cycle in…

Transcendental Toasted Cabbage Salad
Do you ever abandon yourself to fantasy when you’re in the kitchen? All the Pisces energy a couple days ago—triple conjunction of Moon, Venus, and Saturn with North Node looking on—my logical mind barely functioned, so I just let it go to sleep. The triple was sextile my natal Venus, so she had NO idea what she wanted, haha. This salad was the result of the dance we ended up doing, and it was…

Taste + Surprising Health Hack [Augenblick]
When I saw this in the digital stacks of the Chicago Public Library, the ethnographer in me could not resist… Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s Tastes of Paradise is an absolute delight because it decodes how European civilization adopted spices, stimulants, and intoxicants from “the Orient,” medieval Europe’s term for a mythical place that he decodes as paradise (Heaven). Therefore, these substances were…

Reflecting on Difficult Aries Transits
I don’t know about you, but I am more than ready for this extended series of frustrating Aries transits to ride off into the sunset. Yes, astrologer me says that no transit is good or bad, and if I find it difficult, that is because I have made it difficult. Many other people around me have also found it difficult; that’s how these energies affect us. However, Mensch me is just as frustrated as…

On the “Spiritual” Quest to Lose Self [Augenblick]
Have you noticed that virtually any group, belief, or practice with any “spiritual” claim focuses on suppressing or letting go of ego? I have also written about this concept here in Practiced Ignorance as I have shared glimpses of my so-called dark night journey. Somewhat further along, however, I have come to see that letting go of ego does not work for me, and I suspect that it would not for…
