How could we not be? We’re in the dog days of a summer that feels like it’s just beginning and yet school and the election are just around the corner, winter is coming, and a looming unknown remains in nearly every area of life. A Leo new moon (feels like a full moon) has arrived and with it the fierce nobility of the creative fire beckons us to express! Now the question…in what ways will we choose to express ourselves and from where?
Read MoreEvery one of us is made up of an internal universe. Stars, planets, asteroids, and space debris are all orbiting the inner planes, instigating an experience that is completely unique to our individual lived present moment. In this way, each common and known planetary body is represented as well as those yet to be discovered. Uranus, a planet of extraordinary energy, insight, and power is the rebel of our galaxy and is also center stage in the exploration of our current full moon in Aquarius.
Read MoreA Cancer moon. And not just any Cancerian moon, by the way, this is a new moon ripe with emotions yet expressed. A fruit nearly bursting through its tender flesh awaiting fullness; a luscious drop of nectar slides down the hidden curve, seeking resolve…Welcome to the complex moment of our heart’s desire to be heard, be seen, and belong.
Read MoreLet’s pause, take a deep breath, and observe the moment. Can I get to an objective perspective while immersed in such a profoundly uncomfortable subjective experience? What is this all about? And where is my power at this moment? Regardless of what the current crisis is, I’ve been through enough of these to understand that there is something for me to learn here. This perceived moment of immense challenge will inevitably fortify me into a new level of resilience and I can trust that I am letting go of what I no longer need, making room for more truth on the other side.
Read MoreUnder a knee? Behind a mask? Swarmed by locusts? In the midst of the sandstorm? Can’t summer in the south of France? Everyone has their relative anxiety-inducing reality. One equals death, the other equal inconvenience. We share a world and yet we each live in our own. There are as many different realities as there are people on this planet. Some people share common circumstances thus their days are similar, yet most hover inside a bubble of their own creation. Whatever it is, be it horrific, sad, or exhilarating and inspiring, it is familiar and, in that familiarity, there is false a sense of security; or an idea that the world as I know it is indeed the world.
Read MoreInside our hearts, there is a light. Inside this light, exists a fire. Inside this fire, is your love. Your love is a superpower, a high octave of sound beyond mind. An insurgence of fierce knowing, a doorway to compassion…And with this love, everything is possible.
Read MoreThink for yourself.
In a time of forced reflection upon our collective wounds, the past, misdeeds, and various forms of oppression, the truth is yet to reveal itself entirely…This is just the beginning. At this moment, we reflect on racism. It is an ugly beast and degenerate wart upon our society. It is a virus that lives and breaths under our skin.
Racism, within itself, does not care what color your skin is, it only craves to torment the “other,” and label another as less than itself. This thought that another is less, creates an air of superiority in the racist. The infliction of supremacy begins to eat one from the inside unknown within social circles and the raise of a glass. All appears well on the outside, until…
Read MoreMy mind? My perspective? My limiting beliefs? When we talk about change, what are we actually talking about? Changing our hair, moving to a new town, changing our name, changing partners…many of us have exercised these ways to “change” up our current experience of life. Or maybe, if we just want to feel different, some reach for a drink, others buy something online, sext with a new prospect on Hinge, or just scroll through Instagram. These actions do not reflect or induce change. How do you define change and are you truly ready for it?
Read MoreAt this moment, as with any moment that I am conscious and aware, I can always, always listen. First, I listen to my heartbeat, and to the powerful voice of love that guides me toward my truth. And from there, I can listen to the many voices of my community who have fought hard to finally be seen, heard, and witnessed. There is no ‘easy’ about this moment, every single one of us is called to do our part. If we have been living in the shadows of our own shame, fear, and suffering, it is time to rise into healing. If we have been oppressed into a voiceless and shamed reality, it is time to rebel into action from our heart, if we have been an oppressor - consciously or unconsciously, it is time to recognize our weakness and ignorance. And most likely, if you are human, you can claim all of the above.
Read MoreEvery month we have the cosmic privilege and blessing to receive a new moon cycle. We are drawn into a dance of planting seeds, new growth, vibrant realization, depth of reflection, and integration again and again. The moon is accountable, just as the sun, to provide us with the unceasing reminder of our inherent nature of death and rebirth. Has there ever been a new moon like this one? No, and there never will be again. Our Queen Moon, Mother Moon, Indelible Moon once again is new today and perhaps in a moment when we’ve never craved something ‘new’ more than now.
Read MoreAfter a seemingly endless period of illusory timelessness called ‘lockdown’, let’s pose the question of why to this full moon in Scorpio. Why are you asking us to dredge up our unconscious desires? Why are you exposing our private longings or long-kept secrets? Why are you the brightest light in recent months while still asking us to go deeper into our psyche than we may want to at this time. Can’t you sense the collective exhaustion?
Perhaps speaking to the moon directly, anthropomorphizing our process through inquiry toward what used to be an earth herself (moons are skeletons of planets), will provide more answers than we can imagine. Look to this moon as a mirror of truth and truth is what you shall find, ready or not.
Read MoreThe best thing we can do right now is gear up for the long haul. Stamina. A word of strength and in this moment, possibility. We always have options in the face of deep challenge. Maybe we resist completely, hide and scurry away under our metaphoric blankets, hoping that others will take care of the dirty work for us. Perhaps we get loud and speak out against, activating the fight instinct without really knowing where to direct our angst. Or maybe, just maybe we can orient ourselves in a center of gravity that can withstand any storm. And storms…they are coming.
Read MoreThere is a slithering cauldron full of untruths within each of our shadows. These facets of ego shy away from the light, and they lurk deep within our unconscious realm. The more we avoid them or ignore(ance), the stronger they become. Generally, they are already running the show beneath the surface, starless kings and queens of internal real estate that if seen with the naked eye would shock our nervous system into convulsions. And we think we are free…
Read MoreWelcome to the revolution. Change is never comfortable and yet we yearn for it, pray for it, and at times demand it through our activism. We have officially crossed over from Winter’s grasp into the renewal of Spring. And this Spring is unforgettable, to say the least. Every aspect of life as we have known it is now touched by the presence of change. There is no going back to where we have come from. Only forward my friends… and onward we go.
Astrology is a powerful tool for inner work. At this moment, the cosmic weather provides a mirror of a combined archetype that is unprecedented in our lifetime. Not only is this a new moon cycle in Aries, calling forth our internal warrior/ess to the front lines, we are also at the beginning of a new astrological year. This chapter will forever be etched in our souls…shall we dive deeper?
Read MoreIf that means that I offer my body, blood, and vigor for the sake of our enhanced overall wellbeing as one of the billions of the extraordinary human species on this glorious gift of a planet of ours? Then yes, halleluiah, amen! To be of service…
Read MoreI’m in a high-rise hotel nestled into a bustling city; home of one of the stronger cultural pulses within our country. Life is everywhere you look and it moves, weaves, honks, cries, consumes, smiles, decides, acts, conceives, eats, masks, etc., all within a heartbeat. Despite the ramping up of mass hysteria and necessary precautions to avoid a pandemic virus, everything seems to be continuing as usual.
Read MoreA powerful new moon calls us inward for cultivating our inner power within the dreamy dimensions of Pisces. Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream, and each of us does as well. What is your dream? The one that is bigger than you, that is more illuminated than the limited scope of your current vision? The one that will change the world for the better? I dare you to discover it…
Read MoreThis is a powerful inquiry, Truth, approached throughout the ages by philosophers who have assisted in paving neural pathways of thought for us to reflect upon and assess our own groove. On this Leo full moon with a trine from Mars, we have the propulsion to take action from the heart, in other words with courage. And what is more courageous than living our truth?
How do we navigate this topic in an era of false facts? Perhaps the question is how do we choose not to? Clearly, we have graduated into a higher necessity of self-responsibility than ever before. While our context of ‘reality’ is constantly shape-shifting before our eyes as we witness the power to bend words, wash brains, and the use of propaganda is amplified throughout the social and traditional media universe, we return to the question of ‘where will we each land in our own truth’?
Read More2020? Check. Pluto/Saturn conjunction lunar eclipse to ring it in? Check. A new decade calling us into becoming who we truly are? Check.
And now this…a new moon in Aquarius squaring Uranus. Whenever I think about the weather on Uranus, I am gratefully reminded that we inhabit such a small corner of real estate within the universe here on the Earth Star. That what would be perceived as miracles here are of everyday normal occurrence on other planets. Have you heard about the weather on Uranus? It is -193 degrees Celsius and rains solid diamonds.
Read MoreGentle Wings: A poem duet with Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy”
Joy! A spark of fire from heaven
A new day is born…
Whilst in deep review of what has been
From the past, we’re caste and torn
Lord Jupiter amplifies golden skies
While the moon passes over the sun
Hark the herald angels sing
And the day has barely begun!
