Wild Nights: Full Moon in Scorpio

May 9, 2017

The Full Moon in Scorpio at 2:43pm PST on Wednesday May 10th brings light to themes around material and emotional security, the body, sensuality, sexuality, money, power, possession/ownership, and indulgence. Scorpio is the most powerful and intense sign, and tends to bury its immense emotional charge deep underground. This Full Moon may bring an upwelling of emotions that have been repressed. As always, take the opportunity for release and integration.

Love & War: Full Moon in Libra

April 7, 2017

There’s lots going on this week, both in our relationships, and on the world stage. There are always positive ways to use the energy, no matter how intense. There is a real potential this week to work through relationship issues that had been brewing beneath the surface, and to thereby strengthen relationships. Balanced relationships are likely to receive a boost of positive energy. There’s also opportunity for us, in our personal lives, as well as in society, to work toward greater freedom and justice--and sometimes, it’s violence or confrontation that spurs this positive change.

The New Moon in Aries is on Monday March 27th at 7:57pm PST. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries signals new beginnings and new life after the cold and dark of winter.

Conflict Will Make or Break Your Relationships: Full Moon in Virgo

March 10, 2017

There are no relationships without conflict, and no two people see the world in the same way. In the next few weeks, it’s likely that tensions in relationships will surface. But with so much energy in compassionate Pisces, there’s support for working through our differences, and for getting outside of our individual perspectives to understand where others are coming from.

If We Dream of a World With Fewer Walls... Solar Eclipse in Pisces

February 24, 2017

Get clear on the internal landscape you wish to cultivate in service of the world you dream of. Our actions, and their results, stem directly from the quality of our consciousness. If we act out of fear and hatred, we will create a world with more of that. Imagine what would happen if enough of us acted from love?

Radical Aquarius' Vision for the Future & Astroyoga

February 17, 2017

In this last week of the Sun’s transit through Aquarius, I’ve been thinking about Aquarius’ vision for the future: one in which, not just on a soul level, but in a practical, material sense, all humans seen as and treated as equal.

Collective Action Empowered by Love: Lunar Eclipse in Leo

February 9, 2017

Eclipses act as super powered New/Full moons. Their effects can be felt weeks or even months before or after their actual date. They often usher in major changes, real material shifts in our lives. These changes usually bring us closer to our destiny, they help us get back on track, and find alignment with our purpose.

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.

All the Feelings: Full Moon in Cancer

January 11, 2017

The Full Moon in Cancer (Thursday, January 12th, 3:34am PST) is sure to bring up some emotions and sensitivity. Cancer rules the home and nurturance, as well as how our psyches were structured in early childhood.

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).

Seeing in the Dark: a Meditation on These Times (Full Moon in Taurus)

At this Full Moon, we are stretched between the depths and intensity of Scorpio, and the stability and calm of Taurus. How do we find balance in a world torn by hatred and violence?

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.
