Tonight, we will be gathering, as we do almost every New Moon, to clear the way and set our intentions for the coming cycle. Having done a bunch of writing for tonight, I thought I would share some of the information here. September is always an intense month. Numerologically, it is the apex of whatever…

What’s Going On?
Interesting energy going on right now. People are rigid, being cranky, edgy, or stubborn. Everyone wants change. Communication isn’t working particularly well. Things feel… stuck. Oh look, there’s a Mercury Retrograde about to start, we’re in a New Moon, and there’s solar storms hitting our atmosphere! I write about Mercury Retrograde all the time (no,…
New Moon & Partial Solar Eclipse
So many people I’m talking to feel overwhelmed and exhausted, myself included. I knew we had an astrological event today, so I did some checking around, both on the web and with Spirit, and this is what I came up with: The New Moon itself is in Cancer, which is an emotional sign. One of…
My Brain Is In Retrograde
Sometimes, it’s really challenging to write about current astrological events when those events are happening (or looming), because it makes my head all muddled. This is one of those times. We’re moving into a series of three eclipses, the first one being on Wednesday in conjunction with the New Moon, and the last one being…
First Quarter Moon of Forgiveness
This First Quarter Moon may find you, and those around you, sensitive today. You may be easily rattled, or take things more personally than you need to, or just want to hide under the covers. Remember that those around you are feeling that way too, and that things can escalate quickly in those situations if…
The Tail End of Mercury Retrograde
Doesn’t it seem like the end of Mercury Retrograde is just dragging itself out? I’m still seeing a lot of communication issues in my own life, and I’m hearing a lot of reports of mechanical and electronic failures, at a rate that makes it seem like Mercury is still retrograding along. Breathe. Ground. Act and…
First Quarter Moon
Many people focus on the Full Moon, and some focus on the New Moon (my favorite), but few people focus on the Quarter Moons. In a channeling class back in January, we were advised by Spirit to start focusing on the Quarter Moons. Quarter Moons are a time of balance, the half-way point between the…
The Energies this New Moon
(Excerpted from tonight’s New Moon Gathering Ritual): There’s a lot going on right now. We have some play between Saturn and Jupiter that causes us to look to the lessons of the past. We have a Mercury Retrograde in Aries, which can be trying. Aries asks us to dash forward and try new things with…
Shifting Energies
What’s going on? People are feeling out of sorts, a lot of people are getting sick, people are driving even more unconsciously than usual, everyone’s tired… Well, energetically, we have a lot on our plates. Tonight is a New Moon in Pisces, and there are actually 6 planets in Pisces, including Uranus… What the heck…
Observing the Quarter Moon
In my channeling class last night, our attention was called to the fact that quarter moons should be observed and are, in fact, becoming as important (if not more so) as Full and New Moons. Now, this doesn’t mean I’m going to stop having New Moon Gatherings, because I really enjoy the community we’re building,…
