How Do You Birth a Reality?
Birthing a reality is a commonplace event. Each of us has created our personal bubble in response to our current life circumstances. Regardless of what is occurring to us externally, which may very well be out of our control, we are deeply responsible for our internal experience---almost a parallel reality if you will.
A key to our personal freedom is when we can travel between our inner and outer world with seamless grace and ease. We are one. We are transparent. And...We are living a congruent truth. There is no hiding, need for secrets, or shame/guilt that can survive such a luminescent attitude. There are shadows yet, and if we are humble in our approach, we can transmute that darkness into our empowerment.

Are We in Labor?
I suppose it depends on who the ‘We’ is. If ‘We’ are the ones who are aware that the current systems aren’t working while recognizing we are living into a choiceless election for the President of our country, then yes. We are in labor. Labor of what? We are birthing a new reality. Regardless of gender, we each have the power to give birth to the new. And now, perhaps a new politic. New governing structures, beyond the polarized imprisonment of mind. A world where we’ve combust into flames fueled by the blame and projection upon one another and the outcome? A rising of the phoenix of the future from the ashes of the past.

What Is the Cost of Freedom?
Isn’t it curious how in exploring this very paradoxical question we are immediately faced with an existential crisis? How can that which is inherently free have a cost? Good question.
Perhaps the reality that we are even in this inquiry reveals the truth about where we find ourselves at this moment. Where are we in: time (as in what century), location---externally (Yemen, the US, or...) and internally (in my mind, my heart, my body, or all three), the galaxy (Earth, Venus), the spectrum of duality (do I believe this is true)? Let the exploration begin…

Are You Ready for This?
A 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.

Crisis or Chrysalis?
Let’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.

Are You Breathing?
Under 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.

Why Do You Care?
Inside 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.

What Is the Answer?
Think 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…

What Can You Do?
At 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.

What if…?
Your heart is heavy. Not because you saw another black man killed by police... but because that man was your brother or husband. What if you woke up to learn that your son had been murdered? What if you couldn’t breathe because you were being held under a policeman’s knee without mercy? Is it a crime to be black? No. Is it a crime to be racist? Yes. Why are we living in a camera obscura reality where justice is ignored and bigotry is allowed?

What Are We Fighting For?
First of all, I hope to God I am wrong. When I look ahead, and I don’t have to look far, I see a civil war…and I pray it’s only a metaphor. In actuality, I think we are already here—men killing each other out of preference. It is a sad day and still, there is possibility for change.

Why Now?
After 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.

True Empowerment to the People?
To be fully empowered. To express our voice, our hearts, our creativity at volume. To live within the innate freedom that allows us to become who we truly are. Is this possible? Yes. Is it supported in the current reality we live in? No, not really. In a world that has been built upon greed, dominance, and manipulation, the actual freedom we seek is merely a myth, a fantasy. Until we do our inner work as courageous beings, we will remain enslaved to this world we helped create. Now it is our responsibility to undo this entanglement from the inside out. Yes, it is an inside job.

How Do You Prepare for a Pluto Return?
The 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.

What is a Lie?
There 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…

If You Were President?
What would you do? Please indulge me and ask yourself this question. Instead of us thinking how others should live into this immense responsibility, let’s dream together about what we would do in those shoes.
First thing, I would apologize. Deeply, fervently, with tears of love, and prayers for mercy. Standing in the present moment I would ground my feet into the earth and give thanks. There would be recognition for all that we have been given and rectification for all that we have stolen, lied about, and destroyed. To walk forward into a bright future, we must first know where we have been. The road is long and we will walk it together, not as sheep, but as lions

And Justice for All?
A 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…
