The Lotus Blossoms- The Venus-Jupiter Conjunction of 2022
I have worked with the lotus flower as an image of the primordial goddess energy for about six months, and it's been a subtle transmission of wisdom- gentle in its unfolding, graceful in its ascent towards the light of full expression-much like the flower itself. When I think of how the winter of 2022 literally challenged me to my core, and at times brought me to my knees, only to now be guided into the energies of this last week in April, I cannot help but feel the lotus flower within me. After months in the muck, I feel her blossoming now in my heart of hearts.
Full Moon at 27-Leo Squaring the Lunar Nodes
This Full Moon in Leo feels pretty “eclipsey” to me. There is a feeling of things ending and beginning allowing for surprising fresh starts and exciting growth. It is entirely possible that some of the things falling away may be long term commitments to which you hold some loyalty, and so the turn of events may be shocking in some way. However, the opportunities arising are too good to ignore.
Sun Conjunct Saturn in Aquarius
The Sun speaks to the lifelong journey he has taken to reach this pinnacle moment, and Saturn speaks to the discipline, perseverance, and commitment necessary for this level of mastery...
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.
Welcome to the Air Age
Traditionally, Saturn is a planet that teaches us about the kind of commitment, boundaries and discipline needed to really mature in the world. As with all things in astrology, a lot depends on how Saturn shows up in your birth chart…but in general, Saturn is a strict teacher that says, “You might not like this very much, but it has to be done, and once you get through it, you’ll be stronger and wiser.” Saturn is full of grit. It’s tough. It shows you limitations. It makes you work inside of clock time and calendar time with practical honesty…and it makes you grow through experience.
Eclipse Season: The Illusion of Truth
Mercury is going out of bounds today. A planet is considered to be OOB when its declination in the sky is beyond 23°27’. In this position, the planet is outside the boundary limits of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. It has reached the peak of one of its cycles. Mercury begins this stretch beyond a declination of 23°27’ in Sagittarius and does not return to its normal declination until January 4 2021 when it will be in the sign of Capricorn. This is a really long time for the messenger of the gods to be exploring the outer limits of its domain.
A Few of My Classic Astrology Blogs
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.
ASTROLOGY FOR HEALING AND AWARENESS
ECLIPSE SEASON: THE ILLUSION OF TRUTH
Truth.
What is truth?
How do you know when you’ve reached the truth?
What happens when you come to a new understanding and the truth changes for you?
What is your personal truth? And how does your personal truth relate to the collective truth?
These are really good questions to consider for the astrology of the moment.
If you’ve been considering these things already, you are on the pulse of what the planets are trying to communicate with us.
ECLIPSE SEASON: RIDING THE DRAGON
If you were to encounter a dragon, what would you do?
Would you run and hide?
Would you attempt to find its weakness in order to slay it?
Would you befriend it?
Would you have the courage to ride it?
I like to think that I would be a dragon rider, or at the very least, a friend…an ally.
In ancient times, eclipses were thought to come in the form of a dragon that swallowed the sun,
evoking a mixture of fear, reverence and awe.
WELCOME TO THE AIR AGE: THE GRAND CONJUNCTION
JUPITER AND SATURN MEET AT 0-AQUARIUS ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE OF 2020
Jupiter expands. Saturn contracts.
These two cosmic giants breathing together-
inside. each. one. of us.
Blessed witnesses to their dance of light and learning.
Our descendants, the children of the future
watch from the stars and the moon,
cheering us on
as they wait for their turn
to return to earth in physical form.
A little girl waves and a little boy sits,
inside of this hopeful, glowing light,
watching, waiting, witnessing-
calling us home to ourselves and each other.
