• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

We are now in the mythological sun sign territory of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, known to the Babylonians as The Curse of Rain. Pluto has also made its first ingress into Aquarius of 2024, presaging its final ingress in November, and then we will have Pluto in Aquarius until 2043. Last time we had a 20+ year period of Pluto in Aquarius, the world saw the first Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, The American Revolution, the Haiti Revolution...The Enlightenment aka The Age of Reason, the first cast iron, the first vaccine, and many more world changing inventions besides. In a deck of Tarot cards, the major arcana card representing the principle of Aquarius is The Star. The figure, unclothed, is representing the truth, naked and unadorned. The single star above her head is saying that we are like stars, the collective of Humanity, shining out together, but alone, unique and individual. Holding to the star of Humanity, but guided by our own inner stars.

The Star

Bridging water, land and sky
Cloudy, cool Aquarian eye
Reasons, gauges.
Rain assuages
Pours, refills an empty jar
Learning, thirsty, leads us far
But Hope outshines all other stars
