Insights and reflections from Ally on astrology, relationships, personal growth, the body, and the patterns that shape everyday life.
Welcome to Libra Season
Whether through love, conflict, admiration, or discomfort, relationships help surface the deeper layers of who we are. It’s often in the presence of another that we come to recognize our wounds, our strengths, and our capacity for growth. In this way, we don’t lose ourselves in others—we find ourselves through them. I recently saw a quote that said, “The conscious person uses the world as a mirror to better understand and master themselves. The unconscious person attacks the mirror because they do not realize that it is a mirror.”
Welcome to Leo Season
The King or Queen archetype is central to understanding the sign of Leo, a sign that embodies a fascinating blend of regality, charisma, and a deep-seated need for affirmation. It's a powerful archetype, resonating strongly with Leo's ruling planet, the Sun.
Just as the Sun is the center of the solar system, Leos naturally gravitate towards a central role. They are often the magnetic force around which social circles, projects, or family dynamics revolve. This isn't necessarily an egoic grab for power, but a natural emanation of their confident and charismatic energy.
Welcome to Cancer Season
Ruled by The Moon, Cancer is a profoundly emotional sign that bonds deeply with those they care about. The past plays a powerful role in Cancer's subjective reality. This creates a sensitivity around memories shared with others. Cancer is renowned for its sentimental nature, perhaps cherishing a collection of “special” objects tied to specific people, places, and experiences. They often view current situations through the lens of past experiences, especially those that evoke strong emotions. This can lead to a tendency to dwell on nostalgia or past hurts, or cling to those they depend upon, which then shapes their present perceptions.
Astrology for Healing and Awareness
Turning towards the Heavens with a truth seeking heart and a curious mind is as natural as breath. Studying the night sky to discover patterns of movement is as old as Time itself and has been a source of inspiration and guidance since the beginning of civilizations. This is the place we return to again and again as we search for answers and find questions, igniting feelings of awe in a grand design larger than the self. The night sky reminds us of our smallness and our complexity, and our beauty and our uniqueness.

Venus Enters Pisces
This is the perfect medicine for this moment.
I step off of the bridge of light and find myself on a sunlit path. The white wolf is in front of me making sure I am following her, and a hummingbird flutters beside my shoulder. I can sense Jesus and Mother Mary behind me. They guide me to a beautiful garden, lush with colorful aromas and blossoming scents. I sit down on the bench with Mother Mary and I understand that I am in the Garden of Forgiveness.
Pluto Stations Direct in 20° Capricorn
Written October 2, 2019, As Pluto turns direct in 20 degrees of Capricorn on the same day that Mercury enters Scorpio, this quote from Carl Jung may be a helpful reminder of how to work with the times. “That which we most need to find is where we least want to look.”Yes....Pluto can feel emotionally heavy. He asks us to do a lot of heavy lifting by entering the shadows of our psyches to find the treasures hidden within. Mercury in Scorpio will help with this task.
