I’ve never really thought of my eyes as different but they *are* really light blue and I have dark hair so they stand out. This is my daughter as a baby… she still has adorably large eyes.

Well, I managed to snag an almost-exact Mercury Cazimi in my solar return chart today! That Scorpio Moon though… 😜
Circular astrology chart shown as a solar return chart against a starry background. The wheel displays the twelve zodiac signs around the outer ring with house divisions inside. Several planetary placements cluster in Aries and Pisces in the 4th and 5th whole sign houses, while the Moon appears in Scorpio in the whole sign 12th house.

*Not my car*. How is this story for an eclipse ruled by a retrograde mercury?!? A car parked in a local elementary school’s parking lot had its engine explode today. Thankfully no one was hurt. 😬
Front view of a severely burned SUV parked in a snowy lot during falling snow. The vehicle’s hood and front end are completely destroyed, exposing twisted metal, melted components, and the radiator. The windshield is missing, the interior appears charred, and debris is piled where the engine compartment would be. Snow covers the ground and lightly dusts the wreckage, with another vehicle and a beige building visible in the background.

Sparkles on snow… one of my fav things.
A close-up photograph of wind-sculpted snow showing layered, flowing patterns and ridges across a bright white surface. Soft blue shadows accent the curved lines and shallow depressions, while tiny ice crystals catch and reflect the light, creating a subtle sparkling effect across the snow’s abstract, wave-like texture.

From “The Rulership Book” about gall and the gallbladder. *Way* too fitting:
A screenshot of a printed dictionary-style page under the heading “G,” showing two columns of alphabetized entries. In the left column, two lines, “Gall,” and “gall bladders, gallstones”, are highlighted in yellow. Beside “Gall” are the glyphs for Mars, Scorpio, and (in brackets) Saturn. Beside “gall bladders, gallstones” are the glyphs for Saturn, Capricorn, and (in brackets) Cancer. The rest of the page contains many small, tightly spaced word entries in black serif type, with astrological glyphs beside the terms. A page number “56” appears at the bottom.

I just saw the most incredible light phenomenon in the sky! A double light halo around the sun with sundogs *and* a mirrored halo.
A wide view of the sky with two faint circular sun halos visible around the center. The sun glows low out of frame, partially obscured, creating soft light and rainbow-like sundogs. A bowl-shaped rainbow arc sits atop the wider halo - more vibrant than the other halos. A tall streetlight stands in silhouette in the foreground, emphasizing the scale of the sky and the atmospheric halo above.

I also thought this graph was interesting. It indicates lab-confirmed cases (people sick enough to seek medical care and testing) for each flu season since 2009. 2009 was the year that swine flu was circulating but post-2021 seasons show much higher peaks than most pre-pandemic years.
A multi-line graph showing weekly influenza case counts across multiple flu seasons from 2009–2010 through 2025–2026. Each season is represented by a different colored line, labeled in a legend at the top. The x-axis shows weeks from January to January across years, and the y-axis shows number of influenza cases. Most seasons display a single winter peak of varying height. Earlier seasons generally have lower peaks, while more recent seasons (especially 2022–2023, 2023–2024, and 2024–2025) show much higher and sharper spikes, with some weeks exceeding 1,500 to 2,000 cases. The 2009–2010 season stands-out with its peak higher than the years that followed. The 2009-2010 season featured off-season surges, strained ICUs and pediatric care in atypical ways, and permanently changed influenza surveillance and preparedness.

I find this fascinating. The Alberta respiratory virus dashboard actually has some neat interactive graphs. This graph stood out to me - look at the viral typing. H3N2 has been causing the biggest ruckus (which we knew) but it seems like sub-typing is falling behind likely due to system strain.
A screenshot of a bar chart from an Alberta public health dashboard titled “Total weekly laboratory-confirmed seasonal influenza cases by subtype in Alberta, 2025–2026.” The x-axis shows weeks from early November 2025 through early January 2026, and the y-axis shows number of influenza cases. Stacked bars indicate subtypes, including Influenza A (H3N2) in teal, Influenza A (H1N1) in pink, Influenza A (untyped) in dark gray, and Influenza B in light green. The chart shows a sharp rise in total influenza cases from November into December, seeming to peak in mid-December. While H3N2 dominates early in the season, the dark gray untyped Influenza A segment grows steadily over time and makes up a much larger share of cases in the later weeks. The untyped category might be growing because cases are accelerating faster than subtype confirmation, making it a signal of system strain and widespread transmission.

I cast a horary to find my daughter’s lost glasses and it was truly helpful. Haha. This is the chart and where I found them.
A horary chart cast for the question, “Where are my daughter’s glasses?” Whole sign houses, Leo Rising chart. I interpreted myself as the Sun (1st house ruler), my daughter as Jupiter (5th house ruler), and her missing glasses as Saturn (6th house ruler but 2nd house from the 5th house… representative of her “things”). The chart shows Saturn (her glasses) in the Pisces 8th house conjunct Neptune. The signifier fit because her glasses are blue *and* missing. Not only that but she lost them before we went to a funeral.A photo of a closet shelf with jeans stacked on it. A pair of dark blue glasses rest upside down nestled between two pairs of jeans. They blend in with the shadows and match the colour of one of the pairs of jeans.

The profile photo shows a close-up selfie of a woman. The post reads: “Implicit in a lot of anti-vaccination and anti-public health narratives like those of RFK Jr is a deep disgust/fear of disability; but also an unspoken hope that unchecked disease will ‘cull’ the population of ‘weaker/less fit’ people. I really just can’t see past a lot of that.”

I’ve been getting the weirdest omens this time around. This was today’s:
A screenshot of a phone notification over a blurry video clip. At the top, a notification reads: “Omen Time! Today at 10:40 AM,” dated Monday the 29th. The video shows an orange cat walking along a narrow dirt path surrounded by tall grass and greenery. Overlaid text on the video says, “Orange guy said he knew a spot,” and near the bottom it reads, “best tour i’ve ever been on.” The image feels playful and humorous, as if the animal is leading the way on an adventure.

I had an omen from this past year that I think I just figured out. One of my June 2025 omens was a maple syrup candle… I think it represented the Canadian wildfire smoke that spread across large swaths of North America. Essentially - Canadian essence being released into the air through fire.
A product image of a candle poured into a vintage-style metal maple syrup tin. The label reads “Pure Maple Syrup 540 ml” and features an illustrated winter scene with bare trees and a red sugar shack in the snow, noting “Product of Quebec, Canada.” The candle wax is a warm caramel color with a single wick visible at the top. Below the image, text reads: “Classic Maple Tin Candle, Maple Syrup.”A screenshot of an IQAir webpage headline reading: “Prairies and Midwest Air Quality Alert: Canadian Wildfire Smoke.” Below the headline, text dated June 13, 2025 explains that wildfire smoke from Canadian wildfires is affecting air quality across the Canadian Prairies and the U.S. Midwest. On the right side is a small thumbnail image showing thick wildfire smoke rising above trees and water.

Today’s contribution to the #artadventcalendar. This is my current WIP. A fav Edmonton view.
A stylized landscape painting of the Highlands Golf Course in Edmonton. It features lush green rolling hills and winding paths. Trees in vibrant shades of green, teal, purple, and burgundy fill the foreground and middle ground. In the distance, a simplified city skyline rises beneath a dramatic sky layered with blues, pinks, and soft yellow light, suggesting sunset. The overall style is bold and graphic, with flattened shapes and rich, harmonious colors that blend nature and city into a calm, dreamlike scene.

If you meditate or centre yourself and then go to the Thrift Store it will always have something to say. I looked at this fun holiday skirt and for some reason put my hand into the pocket. Hello, tiny Yeshua. 😂

It’s an app to see what’s happening astronomically in the sky. I don’t use it a lot but it’s handy for locating objects in the sky that aren’t visible to me *or* for identifying objects. For example, I’m sitting at my desk right now and can “read the sky” that would be in front of me:
A stargazing sky map showing the western horizon at dusk. The constellations Virgo and Leo are visible near the horizon, with the planet Mars labeled just above Virgo. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to light near the horizon, indicating sunset. The word Zenith is marked high above in orange, and cardinal directions (SW, W, NW, N) are labeled along the horizon in bright orange text. Thin constellation lines connect the stars across the sky.

Attended an outdoor music festival yesterday. Took this photo of the clouds during the final act (The Roots!) when the energy was incredible. I like to think that resonance is reflected in the world around us. Photo is unedited but I did up the exposure because it was dark.
An over exposed photo of clouds in the night sky. An almost vertical, slightly twisting form appears, which could be read as a guardian or sentinel figure. There’s a vertical column of lighter clouds in the middle, which draws the eye upward… and there are subtle branching or wing-like textures to either side giving it an almost angelic or phoenix-like posture.
