Goddess Is Rising and She Is Angry: New Moon in Libra
Goddess Is Rising and She Is Angry: New Moon in Libra

We have been told that anger is violence. We have been taught that anger is unbecoming. We have been led to believe that anger is not spiritual. When in reality the guise of false peace that passes for our societies is brutal. “Peace” is the true brutality. Anger is love. Rage is the right response to the realization of our collective history. If you are not angry you are complicit in the oppression and the continuation of the violent structures of old.

The Final Slough: Full Moon in Aries
The Final Slough: Full Moon in Aries

We may feel pulled in three directions: self, other, and our obligations and responsibilities. Creatively tending to and integrating all three is the secret to mastering this moment. This Full Moon may surface some tension, but there is enormous potential here for overcoming harmful habits and patterns, for moving in a different way, for choosing something new, and in so doing, healing.

Perfectly Imperfect: New Moon in Virgo
Perfectly Imperfect: New Moon in Virgo

Virgo seeks the impossible; perfection. It does so through a process of analysis, applied internally as well as externally. Coming after the sign of Leo, which, when imbalanced, can become self-absorbed, Virgo cuts the ego down to size, in order to embody humility. As such, Virgo is the master of self-questioning, of a thorough internal analysis designed to improve the self.

Relief: Full Moon in Pisces
Relief: Full Moon in Pisces

The Pisces Full Moon is exact on Sunday August 26th at 4:46am PST at 3 degrees of Pisces. With no hard aspects to the Sun or Moon, this is one of the gentlest lunations we’ve had in a while. (Has it been an intense summer, or what?) Pisces represents our personal connection to spirituality, whatever that is. It is creative and intuitive, and helps us to get out of our egos to experience something beyond ourselves.

Bossing Up: Your Guide to Saturn in Capricorn December 2017--December 2020 (Part 1)
Bossing Up: Your Guide to Saturn in Capricorn December 2017--December 2020 (Part 1)

Saturn shifted into Capricorn on December 19 2017, and--aside from a short stint in Aquarius--it will stay there until December 17 2020. Saturn can be a difficult energy to work with. But with a little knowledge, we can really use this transit to our benefit.

October 2018

Venus, the planet that rules what we value, stations retrograde on the 5th of October, where it will backtrack through Scorpio, and into Libra, until mid-November. This marks a period of reconsidering what we value, and how to align more fully with that. In Scorpio, themes around intimacy and transformation are highlighted, and we may be working to differentiate interdependence from codependence, through visiting issues such as sharing, possession, jealousy, commitment, trust, and betrayal, as we seek to untangle the knots of entanglement, and retie them with greater intention and care in ways that bind without deception or manipulation.

    Venus rules the Libra New Moon on October 8th, bringing all these themes to bear on partnership and whatever house the New Moon falls within for each of us. The Taurus Full Moon on the 24th is conjunct Uranus and opposite Venus retrograde. As we seek to find balance between self and other, as we seek to sort through the knots of entanglement, Uranus may bring shocks and sudden shifts to our physical life, and may challenge our values. At the same time, with the Full Moon square to the North Node in Leo, there is opportunity to make a decision that will serve our future evolution.

I believe astrology offers the medicine of a worldview in which Earth and Universe are understood as sacred, magical, and symbolic, and gestures to how we might live in harmony. 

From this perspective, I hope to offer practical guidance, and practices for working with and balancing the energy at hand. My intention is to foster self-knowledge & self-care. Read more.

The🌕Full Moon♈️in Aries🐑is exact on Monday September 24th at 7:53pm PST. On the heals of the Equinox, ⚖️the scales tilt now toward winter, the nights grow longer than the days. As the darkness deepens, our attention inclines toward inner contemplation more than external expression. There is much on the table as we process the summer’s harvest and prepare for the winter ahead; as we take stock of what we’ve reaped, and compost the waste and chaff. With the Sun conjunct Mercury in Libra, the conscious mind is on other people and other people’s needs. Opposite that, the Moon in Aries suggests that beneath that conscious focus, our emotional nature is tethered to ourselves and our own needs, even more so now than normal. Knowing this is a huge advantage as with this awareness, we can better work to balance (Libra) our own needs with those of others’. ....Read the full post on my blog. Happy harvest moon and many blessings!

VIRGO 🌚 NEW MOON: On a deeper level, Virgo is the archetype of Virgin, as virginity was originally understand before the rise of Rome: not someone who hasn’t had sex, but someone who does not belong to another, who is complete unto themself, who has dedicated themself to serving divinity, rather than serving a man. Virginity is a quality of mind; a pure mind. The concept of purification, also associated with Virgo, has itself been muddied though. Most of us in the west, whether we are Christian or not, inherit a Christianized understanding of purity which pits us as impure by dint of our very humanity, which sees the body as dirty, and sees women especially as dirty, especially women who express their sexuality. This understanding of purity has been distorted. Whether intentionally or not, the meanings of our words have been altered so that we might be better controlled. When I connect with the energy of Virgo, I understand purity as the state of mind of innocence, which celebrates the body, the earth, and sexuality, which has rid the mind of confusion around these themes. It is control and manipulation and confusion that are impure. The control that has been exerted by those with power for thousands of years to manipulate us, to convince us that we are dirty and flawed in our natural state, to alter the very meanings of our words, to mess with our understandings of ourselves and nature. On this Virgo New Moon, let us commit to purification, not to rid ourselves of sins, but to work to rid ourselves of these confused understandings that most of us have inherited from our culture. Let us question. Let us analyze. Let us turn our critical eye within to sort through the concepts that serve us, and those that work to control and manipulate us. Let us seek purity, not because we are dirty or flawed, but because we’ve taken on dirty and flawed understandings. Let seek purity of mind and body and heart, purity that sees nature as divine, the body as beautiful, and sexuality as sacred. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨. More on my blog. New moon love!!!!
