I was talking to a colleague about the difference between the energies of the Feminine and Masculine Divine. The connection with the masculine is directed, linear, and outward; it has definable points. The connection with the feminine is inward; it’s a space of enveloping and being enveloped, a space of allowing. When you think about…

Moving Through Ego-Generated Resistance
The third chakra, which sits at the solar plexus, is the lower mental body. It is the seat of our individuation, whence logic and intelligence come, and the internalization of the polarity that exists out in the Universe. It is, for most westerners, our main operating system, so it’s pretty strong. That polarity, the push…

Shifting Paradigms
We are in the midst of some revolutionary energy right now. The astrology points to it, and we’re certainly feeling it. This is creating “paradigm shift” energy. Essentially, we have the opportunity to change not only how we’ve been doing things, but the conditions under which we’ve been operating. We can let go of what…

From the February Newsletter: Blessed Imbolc!
Imbolc is a time of renewal and rebirth as the Goddess springs forth from deep within the earth where She has rested since Samhain. We see the physical form of this in our gardens – as the daffodils and crocus begin to sprout and bloom (in some parts of the world, anyway), we are secure…
Regression During Retrograde
As we move into Imbolc (traditionally 2/1, astrologically 2/3), with Mercury (logic, communication) Retrograde in the visionary sign of Aquarius, and the push-pull on our emotions of having both Mars and Venus in Pisces, we have an amazing opportunity to push through old blocks and health old wounds. If you’re feeling like perhaps your old…
Welcome to the month of Aquarius!
As I mentioned last week, any time You have a Solar and Lunar shift at the same (or almost the same) time, it can be a little jarring. Since Aquarius is the archetype of visionary and change on a transpersonal scale, the fact that Mercury is about to go retrograde may be creating a bit…
You have some things to take care of before the 19th…
As of this week, we are in the “pre-wash” of Mercury Retrograde. The actual shift happens on the 21st, but Nature does anything abruptly, and this is a pattern that always shows itself about a week out (and goes on for a week longer than it has any right to). It will happen the day…
