The Deep Roots of Self-Care: New Moon in Virgo

September 2, 2019

For all the faults of this culture extending from Greek and European thought, there are nonetheless threads of wisdom and spirituality that we might draw on as resources. And we might even use those very resources to reflexively analyze the traditions they derive from--that reflexive process is actually definitive of the tradition. We are not floating, without ground, in some new-age soup. There are roots, thick and deep, that we just need follow down a little beneath the surface to find life-giving wisdom and spiritual nourishment.

Rise Above: Full Moon in Scorpio

April 29, 2018

Scorpio courageously dives into the depths to grapple with that which has been repressed, to confront the dragons and turmoil within--to release, accept, clean up, forgive, love--ie to offer medicine to those monsters, not to kill them. And then to emerge renewed and utterly transformed.

Uranus is Genderqueer, Who Are You? New Moon in Aries

April 15, 2018

While Uranus asserts their individuality, they also long for belonging, and they know that both are possible. Uranus dreams of a world in which we make space for difference and respect each other for who we are, in which we are radically free, and radically ourselves

I Am Because You Are: Full Moon in Libra

March 30, 2018

With the Sun in Aries, and the Moon in Libra, this Full Moon activates the self-other polarity, reminding us that there would be no self without others, no others without the self: the seeming opposites of any polarity are necessarily formative of each other. We literally are who we are because of the people in our lives.

The Way Forward: New Moon in Gemini

May 24, 2017

The New Moon in Gemini, exact at 12:44pm PST on Thursday, May 25th, ups the pace for the coming month. The pattern of background energy shifts from mellow and sustaining to energetic and staccato. As the weather warms we naturally feel more active and curious. This month we are likely to be busy with many different activities, tasks, and social engagements. We leave the home, we leave the garden, we go out into the neighbourhood, we go out and explore. We do many things, maybe all at once.
