Some unsettling energy going on – What to do with it?

Saturn is in Capricorn, which has the effect of forcing us to be present and in the moment. On March 8th, Jupiter went retrograde in Scorpio. Jupiter is generally expansive and is very tied to our beliefs. Scorpio is all about transformation. Also on March 8, the shadow of Mercury Retrograde in Aries began (actual…

Rainy Full Moon

I am inordinately excited about the timing of weather in Southern California this week. Thursday will be both a Full Moon and raining, which affords me a rare opportunity. I have talked before in this blog about the moon (and occasional solar) waters I make, but there hasn’t been much opportunity to do it with…

What is your health telling you right now?

There’s a flu epidemic, you might have noticed. The flu, when we are talking about the ailment that affects the respiratory system, is about life change. At least in Southern California, there seems to be a potent stomach bug going around as well; that is more about processing and releasing. As I noted in last…

Grandmother Tree

While I was in the mountains over New Year’s weekend, I had occasion to commune with a tree. To be fair, I had occasion to commune with many trees, but this one stood out. She was large, with a thick trunk, although she wasn’t a redwood. She didn’t have a visible Ent, and yet she…

Just be prepared, it might get heavy. Better than not doing it, though. (2) This week Earth has been moving through a…

A comet returns, suggesting some interesting events

SpaceWeather tells me: Today, spacecraft are monitoring a close encounter between the sun and Comet 96P/Machholz (link mine). This is no ordinary comet. 96P/Machholz has a strange chemical composition that has prompted astronomers to wonder if it comes from another star system. Moreover, it is linked to a complicated network of debris streams criss-crossing the…

Choices

We all have choices. The entire experience of life is made up of choices.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Your Mindset Affects Your Reality

This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse is an excellent time to examine all of your ideas about How Things Are. I say this for two reasons:   (1) They’re going to get louder, because they want to be released; and (2) The energy for releasing old, stuck ideas is optimal right now.   So give some thought…

The World is Not Binary

Viewing an issue as involving only two choices creates unworkable limitations. Stand up for change.
