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…
Category: Shift
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…
A New Video Blog Series
I’ll be trying to post one of these a month. In Light of the World episode 1, Ginger asks me about some of the astrological energies going on, and then we take a look ahead into 2015. There are a few predictions, and some practical, tangible suggestions for how to better support oneself amidst all…
We’re All Equal Here, Right?
Please note: This blog post is designed to make you think, not to make you feel bad. In case you were wondering. Equality’s a funny thing. If I ask you if you’re pro-equality, most people would answer “yes,” some people would ask for clarification, but I suspect that few people would say that any one…
I posted some of this to Facebook last night, but you might have missed it…
A geomagnetic storm is underway on Dec. 12th as Earth enters a high-speed stream of solar wind. (source: SpaceWeather) These can make people feel spacey or jangly (or both, which is even more disconcerting). Make sure you’re drinking more than enough water, work on your foundational spiritual practices, and do some focused, slow breathing exercises….
2015: A New Kind of Shift
Everything I’m seeing indicates that 2015 is going to be a year of big, sweeping changes. We are moving rapidly into a space where more and more people are having to confront their ideas of how the world works and how we all fit together. The choice becomes on of evolution or resistance. The more…
December 2014 Newsletter
Happy Holidays! We have moved out of the intensity of October and November and into a place where we can muster some enthusiasm, looking ahead, and take a long-term view towards change. Hopefully you are hooked into that joy and anticipation; if you’re not, here are some helpful things to move you in that direction:…
Family of the Heart and Family of Origin
Some people grow up in tight-knit families. Regardless of any disfunction, their family is un-dissolvable. They get together for holidays, even trading off hosting duties, pretty much no matter what. Their family comes before their social circles, and they only show up at “orphan” gatherings if finances and geography keep them from their blood relations….
How the Sun’s Energy Affects Us
I post about this sort of thing frequently, but I thought it might be nice to have it all in one place. We all have an electromagnetic field. Heck, all matter is made up of energy, so to assume that we’re not affected by changes in the energy that bombards the earth is a bit…
Epidemic of Sadness
I had a massive mood drop yesterday, and when I mentioned it to friends, it would appear that I was one of many. This leads me to believe that there’s something going on, beyond seasonal changes. The astrological forecast wasn’t leading me to think it was planetary. My next choice is always to check SpaceWeather…
November Newsletter
The veils between worlds are thin… This most recent New Moon (10/23) and Solar Eclipse have catapulted us into a place where we have the option of living our dreams, but only if we are willing to go into the shadows and see what we find. Your shadow self is that part of you which…
Solar Flare Alert!
SpaceWeather says Giant sunspot AR2192 erupted again on Oct. 24th (21:40 UT), producing a powerful X3-class solar flare. Using a backyard solar telescope, Sergio Castillo of Corona, California, was monitoring the sunspot when it exploded: “This flare was so intense that it almost shorted out my computer! Well … not really,” says Castillo, “but I knew right…
