On Sunday, we will have a full solar eclipse, known as a Ring of Fire eclipse, which will peak at 4:47pm (West Coast of the US). This is the first eclipse visible form the US since 1991. This eclipse is the first of a number of major astronomical events of 2012. June 4th brings us…

Moving into Truth
On June 6th, the Sun, the Earth, and Venus will all be in a line. This will kick the pattern that we have been working toward, an opportunity for change on a grand scale, an astrological pattern not seen since the late 1960s. We are all moving towards this moment in time, when we will…
May Newsletter
Apologies for the tardiness of this newsletter. April was eventful… Hopefully we’re back on track now. In the Northern Hemisphere, Beltane is here (or nigh, depending on how you calculate)! It is a time of fertility, a time when nature blatantly displays her beauty to being about the conception of life. Flowers and trees are…
New Moon and Ostara
I’ll be doing ceremony on Thursday… We are honoring both the New Moon (in Aries) and Ostara, the Spring Equinox. Additionally, we are in a Mercury Retrograde that started in Aries (new beginnings), moved into Pisces (creating emotional balance at the end of a cycle), and will move back into Aries after Mercury does direct….
Mercury Retrograde in Aries
As of yesterday, we are in Mercury Retrograde. This is, as always, an opportunity to stop and catch your breath. All communication and action should be done consciously, deliberately, with clear intentions. Be introspective. Examine the path you took to get to this point. Seek out loose ends and create closure. In about 3 weeks,…
It’s a Last Quarter Moon
This is the time to deconstruct everything that no longer serves you, to pull it apart and look at its components, so that you can more easily release it all. The things in your life that are out of balance become amplified,so you can see them. This is a time for details, to get into…
What’s Going On?
We just had New Moon in Aquarius and, with it, Chinese New Year – Year of the Water Dragon. Mars is going retrograde in Virgo. The largest solar storm since 2005 is hitting the planet. Mwop mwop mwop mwop. Translation: Change! Big big change! Unsettled feelings, wonky electronics, challenges, facing our fears. I said it…
January 2012 Newsletter
Message for the New Year: 2012, for all of the hype about the Mayan calendar, is nothing more than the beginning of a new cycle. Nature does things gradually, so we’ve been feeling the build up for quite some time; the change is not instantaneous. Numerologically, it will be a “5” year. 5 is the…
Celebrating the Solstice
There’s a lot going on energetically right now, you might have noticed. We’re coming up on Solstice and a new moon, Mercury is finally not retrograde anymore, it’s the holiday season, and the weather is in overdrive everywhere, it seems. And there’s something else, too; can you feel it? Something’s coming. The astrologers are telling…
Have You Had Your Check-up?
People get readings for any number of reasons. People who get readings to get an absolute prediction of the future, or who are looking for someone to co-sign their BS, or who want to be able to abdicate responsibility for their lives don’t like my readings much. My focus is on your path, your choices,…
Are You Hibernating Yet?
We area little over a week from Mercury Retrograde, and the moon is waning. I’m already feeling the effects to the retrograde. This is a quiet time, great for contemplation, tying up loose ends, and evaluating where you are right now; it’s also great for cleaning out the closets or the attic! Bear in mind…
A Short Note on New Moon in Scorpio
This new moon (today) in Scorpio is about alchemy – boiling things down to their essence, transforming and transmuting, fermentation… So, amongst all the other things I’ve been working on today, I am boiling down the rose hips I harvested this week. It wasn’t until just now that I realized it was more thematic than…
