First, We Feel: New Moon in Scorpio
First, We Feel: New Moon in Scorpio

This Scorpio New Moon marks a new beginning in intimacy. As we come more and more into the knowing that we are not separate, we turn toward each other, we turn toward home. We see that our isolation was self-imposed. We accepted shame, that lethal gift, that lie, that holds us apart. And because we accepted it, we can lay it down now.

Now we know. We are intricately, intimately, entangled with every other being in existence, whether we wish it so or not. The universe is an open system. Every move, every breath, every thought, ripples through to infinity.

It’s time to come home. It’s time to come together.

Life and Death: Full Moon in Taurus
Life and Death: Full Moon in Taurus

We have a choice: stay stuck in this box, in this system, with all this injustice and inhumanity. In which case, humanity may not make it. Or to break open the box. But what is outside of it? We can’t possibly know. We’ve been held in this box for so long. We hate it in here, but we’re used to it. It’s all we know. So, this is the choice we face: to stick with what we know or to face the unknown, where maybe, just maybe we will find freedom.

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.

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.

Life or Death:🕷FULL MOON🕷in Taurus. I had such a hard time writing this blog post! There is some real intense energy going on and a challenge to break free of what we’ve know. And I am FEELIN it: We have a choice: stay stuck in this box, in this system, with all this injustice and inhumanity. In which case, humanity may not make it. Or to break open the box. But what is outside of it? We can’t possibly know. We’ve been held in this box for so long. We hate it in here, but we’re used to it. It’s all we know. So, this is the choice we face: to stick with what we know or to face the unknown, where maybe, just maybe we will find freedom.

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!
