An Epic Epilogue: Total Lunar Eclipse + Full Moon in Leo
An Epic Epilogue: Total Lunar Eclipse + Full Moon in Leo

The total lunar eclipse in Leo today (January 21) marks the final chapter in a 2-year story. Leo, ultimately, signifies the journey of the soul, through creative pursuits, and erotic adventure; learning through its many mistakes and inadvertent woundings of others, arriving eventually at its source, the wellspring of creative/erotic energy. The treasure of the epic Lion’s quest is the true and uninhibited expression of this raw vital energy, yet, tempered by the compassion Leo gains through its adventures and misadventures. In other words, Leo’s destination is authentic self expression.

We're Gonna Fucking Do This, Kids: New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn
We're Gonna Fucking Do This, Kids: New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn

The other night, I was overcome by this profound wave of emotion and knowing, inexplicable and unverifiable, yet undeniable, this feeling of: we are gonna fucking do this. It felt like, collectively, we hadn’t really decided if we are up for the challenge. We hadn’t really decided if we are willing to be fully in our bodies and to face the wreckage of the past thousands of years, to look squarely in the face of the carnage and brutality and trauma, and then to band together and to do all that it will take to move forward, to begin anew, to do better, to heal, to help each other, to rebuild—until now. I had this strong intuition that collectively, we’ve now decided. We’re gonna fucking do this.

Together: Winter Solstice + Full Moon in Cancer
Together: Winter Solstice + Full Moon in Cancer

Let’s gather together, loved ones. Let’s honour the darkness within, from where our vision grows, and let’s celebrate the return of the Sun, the lengthening of the days. More and more I feel like community is everything. How will we overcome? There is only one way. Together.

Visionary Fire: New Moon in Sagittarius
Visionary Fire: New Moon in Sagittarius

Is it getting louder, brighter, bigger? That’s Sagittarius. What a lift in the mood after Scorpio (even if Mercury and Venus are still there). Don’t get me wrong. I love Scorpio (actually, it’s my favourite).  But we all need a break at some point. We’ve been underground for a while, and goddess, the sky is beautiful, now that we’ve come up for air.

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.

Hello, I’m Andi

Thanks for visiting my home on the web.

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.

About Readings

A reading is a collaboration between you and me: together we unfold the meaning of your astrology, the meaning in your life, by exploring the connections between your chart and your story. 

People often leave readings feeling validated in who they are, and more confident in their direction.  Read more.

The ⚡️total lunar eclipse⚡️in Leo today marks the final chapter in a 2-year story (the time during which the eclipses have been occurring in Leo-Aquarius). Leo, ultimately, signifies the journey of the soul, through creative pursuits, and erotic adventure; learning through its many mistakes and inadvertent woundings of others, arriving eventually at its source, the wellspring of creative/erotic energy. The treasure of the epic Lion’s quest is the true and uninhibited expression of this raw vital energy, yet, tempered by the compassion Leo gains through its adventures and misadventures. In other words, Leo’s destination is authentic self expression. How have you come into your own in the past two years? In what ways do you feel more yourself? More free to express your creative energy without filter or inhibition or censor? As Leo is passionate, emotional, and subjective, at its best it is balanced by the detachment, logic, and commitment to serving community of Aquarius. With the Sun in Aquarius, and with the Sun’s light eclipsed from reaching the moon, what is it we aren’t seeing? How can we integrate Leo’s subjectivity with Aquarius’ humanitarian ideals? How can we integrate head and heart? . . Each of us has experienced our own unique version of this story, which can be glimpsed by the houses in which these Leo-Aquarius eclipses have occurred. I’ve included a table with the house positions for each sign on my website, along with more info on the meaning of this eclipse. If you want to learn more about astrology I’m offering a 10-week course in Vancouver starting in February. Also offering a cool astrotherapy series: find all the deets on my site! . . A big thank you to all those who came to my talk on Thursday and @banyenbooks for hosting. If you’d like my slides from the talk, shoot me an email. . #astrology #eclipse #fullmoon #totallunareclipse #leoeclipse #aquariusseason #totaleclipseoftheheart #astroinvancouver #vancouverevents

When the RCMP forcibly breached a peaceful checkpoint on unceded Wet’sewet’en territory on Monday they violated the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (that Justin Trudeau agreed to adhere to) which claims that “Indigenous people shall not be forcibly removed from their land or territory.” More importantly this continues a violent history of colonization and is one more way in which any hope of reconciliation is undermined. #unistoten #thetimeisnow #waterissacred #nopipelinesonstolenland #waterislife #wetsuwetenstrong #decolonize #downwithcapitalism #shameontrudeau #reconciliation @justinpjtrudeau you can do better.

Even as I’m sick and bed-bound I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by gratitude as I reflect on this past year #clichebutidontcare, especially for the beautiful people and places in my life. Really, so much beauty. And so many good adventures. There was more magic in my life this past year than ever. Life actually gets better and better as every year I understand myself better and settle more and more into who I am. And I couldn’t do it without my friends and family. And there are so many who aren’t pictured here. ✨✨✨🙏✨✨✨
