A first spark of light
Materializes into form,
Fire emblazing from cove of Aries,
A truly dynamic storm…
Pioneer of the zodiac
The rebel warrior of youth,
Stakes its claim and says…I AM here
And darling, so are you

Everything that we see, breathe, eat, experience, run through, put on, listen to and feel is created from nothingness. Perhaps my definition of “nothing” is slightly paradoxical as it also contains everything, but that is another conversation…

When Pluto arrived onto the astrological scene, it was first referred to as Planet X. There was an ominous energy that arose in the collective psyche with new awareness pointed towards the epic power radiating from this unknown, mysterious and controversial planet. An eleven-year-old girl, Venetia Burney is accredited for having named the planet after the God of the Underworld when her grandfather read to her from The Times about the Planet’s discovery in 1930.
Although invisible to the eye, the inner workings and the profundity through which we are collectively, and I dare say individually, marked by Pluto are undeniable. As with all planets, Pluto has two faces, the higher and more regal expression of itself which has been associated with the Roman Goddess of Minerva – ruling strategic warfare and wisdom as well as the deeper, darker and more infamous qualities of Hades – Lord of the Underworld.

Traversing the inner planes and integrating what I find has always been a favorite way for me to spend my life, yet the more I continue, the more I recognize my place in all of this. More specifically, the power I have, the power I have not, and the right relationship between the two.

It is through the illuminating sun in Capricorn, glowing in full glory upon the canvas of the Cancer moon, that I am able to look back in review with the clarity and discernment of a Saturnian gaze. This year has taught me that: love does exist and even thrives despite hatred, betrayal is inevitable medicine, boundaries are a virtue, speaking up and silence are both strengths, patience is still a virtue, the choices we make are ours alone and, if we choose wisely, they are gold within our hearts. I learned that amidst chaos I can lean into my values and thrive while undergoing immense internal stresses in the face of temptation. And perhaps the greatest gift has been collaboration as an artform.

Besides being a question that could be answered in volumes, in the moment…a lot. The theme of recent months has woven itself through and within the epic passage of Venus in and out of Scorpio. From the depths of loves touch, the casting of shadow aspects of the darker feminine lurk forth for reflection. This new moon in Sagittarius offers the guidance of perception to assist in navigating these unruly cosmic tides. Mars conjunct Neptune squaring our moon adds a sandpaper-like rub to the already raw texture of late.

Do I speak my mind? A very wise teacher shares that it is just as erroneous to speak when one should be silent as well as to be silent when one is to speak. This one sentence is full of profound consequences and pretty much sums up this Gemini full moon.

The harvesting cycle seems to run throughout my soul no matter the season. At times I am emotionally about to burst, the joy or the tears are nearing capacity and something has got to give…or physically I feel more voluptuous within my personal rhythms aligned with the moon. Sometimes an idea that has been brewing is now coming into form and ready for birth into the world.

My heart is pulsing and yearning…and my head? At times spinning or perhaps contemplating. Breath is my sanctuary and reminds me I am alive and have been held from the moment I arrived here. My body is both tired and energized while my creativity is afire or teasing me out of overwhelm. I have the privilege of choice and I notice this, again.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. ~Matthew 10:16
Consider we are both sheep and wolves and that the way to resolve this dualistic internal battle coincides with the wisdom and innocence Matthew alludes to.

The majority of astrologers focus on themes according to the zodiac sign through which the moon is transiting when it turns full. Today, that would be Sagittarius. However, the moon always has two faces, that which we can see, the light, and that which is unknown to our eyes, the shadow.
