On Creating the Future: Leo Season

August 13, 2021

Leo describes the process by which our true nature, the energy of our soul, manifests in the world of form. The creative act is an act of channeling our own being into the world. This is why Leo also governs love and joy: our pure unconditioned soul is Love and the feeling of embodying raw unadulterated Selfhood is Joy.

Pisces sees the universe (creation) itself as embodied in and through us, peering out at itself through the many eyes of all the creatures.

A Parody of Peace: New Moon in Libra

October 18, 2017

Uranus and Eris make a radical team here to disrupt the status quo, to reveal the deep pain and trauma beneath, to give voice to the oppressed, to empower the disenfranchised. Opposite Libra, the harmony may be upset, but yet harmony is still the intention. The upset is necessary in order to find greater justice and freedom for all. If we stand with Libra in our desire for peace, harmony, and justice, then we must heed Uranus and Eris, we must acknowledge the radical injustice in the systems that are preserved for the sake of a parody of peace.

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.

Loneliness Has a Secret Boon: New Moon in Aquarius

January 26, 2017

Venus square Saturn may indicate the heartbreak and deep pain so many of us may feel regarding the man who’s name I will not mention. I encourage you to stay engaged. The community of humanity (Aquarius) needs you. There is nothing spiritual about avoiding reality, or not caring that others suffer, that others’ freedoms are threatened.

New Moon in Sagittarius: What Now?

November 28, 2016

Uranus the trickster, activated this December by an opposition to Jupiter, has been playing its games, inciting change at any cost. Uranus is the revolutionary, the activist, the firecracker, the terrorist, the fool. Trump has Uranus conjunct his sun. But we all have access to this energy of change, especially now. And we all have power (Jupiter square Pluto), especially together (Jupiter in Libra).

Lead Into Gold: New Moon in Scorpio

October 27, 2016

When in the North the leaves turn colour then fall, how can we but think of death? Scorpio knows death is no ending, but a transformation from one state to another. The Scorpio New Moon (exact at 10:38am PST, 6:38pm UK on October 30th) falls a day before Samhain, the halfway point between Summer and Winter, the liminal moment between life and death when the veil between worlds thins, and our ancestors are near.

All Souls Born Under the Patriarchy: New Moon in Libra

September 27, 2016

Collaboration and relationship are emphasized this week with the New Moon in Libra on Sept 30th. The New Moon’s ruling planet is Venus--in Scorpio with a trine to Neptune, this signals passion, and intensity.
