Kind and True: Libra Full Moon #2
Kind and True: Libra Full Moon #2

Libra, as diplomatic, refined, and gentle, is a master at keeping the peace, but what about expressing dissatisfaction, standing up for itself, expressing its needs, speaking to difficult truths? For that, we need Aries.

The New Self: New Moon in Aries
The New Self: New Moon in Aries

This Aries New Moon offers us a new beginning in self-healing, and self-trust; trust in the ancient knowing residing deep within our bones, in the ability to heal that we developed life-times ago, that over millennia of abuse, was buried in the sand, but now is being revealed.

And Then We Were Healers: Full Moon in Libra
And Then We Were Healers: Full Moon in Libra

Last night, I sat in my small home with a handful of students, reading and embodying each others’ charts, with the intention of helping each other heal. As we journeyed together into the depths of one souls’ chart, the sky darkened outside and the Full Moon rose and shone down on us through the window. And I felt like, this is Chiron, this is Libra, this is Aries, as we hold each other in this space of healing, as we support each other on this journey, as we delve into our wounds for the sake of understanding.

Are You Psychic? New Moon in Pisces
Are You Psychic? New Moon in Pisces

This energy feels to me like silence. Silence, not as nothing, but as the most profound experience. I’ve been meditating for many years, but in the last few days I’ve experienced some of the most profound moments of silence and presence and stillness. And then for a moment everything makes sense and there is nothing to know or understand or say.

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 with me is collaborative: 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.

🌙Moon Watching🌙 ✨A Workshop✨✨ . Hello loves! I’m teaching an astrology workshop this Saturday on the moon: what it represents and how to track its movement 🔭 through the sky, the zodiac, and your chart. . Tracking the moon helps us live in harmony, offers insight on the energy at hand, and is a really great way to take your basic knowledge of astrology to the next level. . Check out @thegoodspirit for all the deets. I hope to see you there!
⚡️⚖️⚡️ FULL MOON in LIBRA . This year, we have a rare second Full Moon in Libra: the first, a month ago, was with the Sun and Moon at the very early degrees of Aries and Libra, and now the Sun and Moon are at the very late degrees. This represents the potential of a deep learning over the course of this past month, evolving the Aries energy into a more mature form. . Evolved Aries, more than anything else, is courageous. (Thank you universe for this second helping of courage when I need it so!) It takes courage to heal. It’s terrifying to look truth in the eye. To acknowledge the pain and suffering in ourselves, in others, in the world. It takes courage to love in the face of that. To love even those who cause suffering, knowing they lash out in pain. To love even those who won’t love you in return. That is courage. That is the heart of a warrior goddess leading the way. . Libra, as diplomatic, refined, and gentle, is a master at keeping the peace, but what about expressing dissatisfaction, standing up for itself, expressing its needs, speaking to difficult truths? For that, we need Aries. . There are times when we have to do or say something that others won’t like. Libra energy tends to avoid such moments. But then it suffers in the end because it hasn’t been true to itself. It lost itself in others. It forgot who it was. . Aries remembers. Yet sometimes Aries feels such an intensity of knowing what it needs that it can forget to move gently, considering the feelings of others. . Together, Aries and Libra can help us to communicate difficult truths or make difficult decisions in a gentle and loving way. We can be effective and kind; bold and gentle; courageous and compassionate. . Be true to yourself. Be kind to others. It’s as simple (and as challenging) as that. . There’s always more on my blog! . . #fullmoon #courage #badassaries #astrology #libra #yougotthis #astrologersofvancouver

🌚NEW MOON in Aries♈️ . Artwork by @samuelflegal This New Moon in Aries marks a courageous new beginning, a leap into a new self. But before the beginning, is the ending; the release. With Saturn and Pluto conjunct the South Node, is there some ancient hang up that’s been residing in your bones, that is ready to be deposited into the earth? Are you carrying the baggage of your ancestors, bags and bags of shame and sadness? Oh, but there are treasures in there too, hiding under the pain. While Mercury is moving forward again (as of March 28th), it is still in its retrograde “shadow”, meaning it is retracing the ground it backtracked through in March. So, we are coming to understand and then act on what the waters of Pisces revealed. It takes great courage to SEE what has been dredged up from the depths of the sea—to see ourselves clearly, to face our sea-monsters and accept our treasure. Aries offers the gift of courage. With this gift, we may look at what the waters of Pisces have washed up onto our shores—our addictions, our pains, our sadness, our grief. Other signs may run at the site of grief, but Aries can sit with it, with the understanding that even the most difficult or ugly or painful parts of ourselves, are simply seeking love and understanding. They just want to be seen, and felt. They want presence, the way a child does. So when your grief washes up, what do you do? Do you run away? Do you throw it back into the sea? Do you bury it—or your head—in the sand? That’s ok too, because few of us have been taught how to heal. So forgive yourself for that too. But this Aries New Moon offers us a new beginning in self-healing, and self-trust; trust in the ancient knowing residing deep within our bones, in the ability to heal that we developed life-times ago, that over millennia of abuse, was buried in the sand, but now is being revealed. ...More on my blog.

🌕⚖️💫 FULL MOON + EQUINOX . The Full Moon in the evening on March 20th, is in Libra, sign of relationships, balance, justice, harmony. The Sun is conjunct the planetoid Chiron, also known as The Wounded Healer, suggesting we may be reminded of our wounds, but with a potent opportunity for healing and transformation. And with the Moon lighting up Libra, the wounds we tend to both derive from and heal within relationship. . Such work takes such courage (Aries); to dig up the past, to face our pain. And it takes tenderness (Venus), and care (Libra) as we support each other, and ourselves, through the process. There is so much we learn in relationship (Libra), when others mirror to us our hidden truths, when our friends help us see ourselves, when interpersonal conflict helps us grow, and when we can hold each other through the trials of healing. . This is a path of healing the Self (Aries), and somewhere along the way, we see that the self is never alone. The self is defined by relationship. The self exists only because of the other. Some of us may walk alone for a time, only to realize we are hiding from the real work, which happens in and through relating. . More on my blog.

📖🔮📖 An astrology reading can help us understand and accept ourselves better, clarify our purpose and direction, and can help us feel more at home in the Cosmos. This is my cozy space where I hold readings, for now (an office is in the works!). I have a few more spots for readings in the next 10 days before I leave town for a month! HMU if you’d like a reading before I go!! (You can see available time slots on my website under services.)
🔮🌚🔮 Pisces New Moon . Are You Psychic? . An excerpt from my blog: . As I seek to tap into this energy, there are few words. This feels to me like silence. Silence, not as nothing, but as the most profound experience. . I’ve been meditating for many years, but in the last few days I’ve experienced some of the most profound moments of silence and presence and stillness. And then for a moment everything makes sense and there is nothing to know or understand or say. . Pisces, as the last sign of the zodiac, encompasses all. It’s aim is universal love, it’s motive is compassion. It knows--not intellectually, but deep down in its every pore--that we are all connected, that ultimately, all is one. . With the added influence of Neptune and Mercury retrograde and Vesta, we all have greater access to psychic abilities right now. We are all more open to the vibes of the collective. Our psychic boundaries are more permeable. We can feel what others feel, think what others think. . There are many different ways in which to be psychic. We tend of think of being psychic as knowing intellectually what’s going to happen. But some people receive sensations or see images in their mind’s eye, or are sensitive to the energies around them. I suspect there are many ways to be psychic and energetically sensitive. . Are you psychic? How do psychic messages come through for you? What’s your sign? Share in the comments! .

🐍🌝🐞 FULL MOON in VIRGO . . . We’ve all been through the wringer. Over lifetimes, we’ve been lied to and manipulated and hurt and abused. We didn’t receive the love and care and nurturance we needed. And we developed all kinds of ways of coping. Some of those ways have meant that we in turn have hurt others, or that we haven’t lived up to our potential, or that we’ve settled into negativity. . It’s a devastating cycle that began before history and will have no end unless we learn to forgive; and forgiveness begins when we forgive ourselves. When we see that we were doing the best we could, and that we are deserving of love; when we see that we are divine beings, of the cosmos, not in it. . Isn’t it incredible that the cosmos created us? That these bodies exist? Isn’t life miraculous when we stop to consider it? Look at what Earth creates. Look at existence, at the stars and the planets and the flowers and the forests and the creatures. And we think we are so special as to be guilty? What egos we have. We are just souls among souls, among all the other creatures and beings in existence, that make up this cosmos. Let go, child. Remember that you are of this cosmos too. That you aren’t over and above it. Let go. Surrender to what is and you will know love. . ➡️Follow the link in bio for the full post or to sign up to receive my Moon Letters to your inbox. 💌 . . . . #astrologytransits #followthemoon #moonmagic #ofthecosmos #everydaymagic #astrology #fullmoon #witchy #witchesofinstagram #astrologersofinstagram #magicisreal
