Memory. Photo for Book of Blue by Eric Francis, with retouching by Kelly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today’s photo was taken Monday at about noon in Rosendale, New York, where our community laid to rest a young woman who died of a heroin overdose last week. Not that I assume a lot of heroin junkies read Planet Waves, but if you hear of anyone getting hold of some “really good stuff” called Parmesan, or just simply cheese, it’s a killer. Not that ordinary heroin is good for you or anything.<\/p>\n

Kaila’s story so far is told in three parts in Book of Blue<\/strong><\/a>. Note that they are posted in reverse chron order. The first is called “It’s Not Hard to Die.” The second is “The Faces of Kaila Watson” and the third is “How These Things Happen.”<\/p>\n

This news arrived late Friday night. Among other things, since the year began I’ve photographed a memorial service, a funeral and a child being born. In the process of having many 8th\u0412\u00a0house transits (I have Aquarius up there) I’ve begun to associate these moments with the theme of getting real. <\/p>\n

I have cast her birth and death charts. Personally I think that death charts are among the strangest entities in astrology. The summary version is that Kaila was late Taurus rising (with Jupiter in the last degree of Taurus tight against the ascendant, in the 1st), with a Cancer Sun and Libra Moon. She has an intense 8th house — precise conjunction of Saturn and Uranus conjunct the Galactic Core; this is a one-degree alignment and Pluto just spent two years working it over. Those were the heroin years.<\/p>\n

Please hold her in the light. Thank you.<\/p>\n
