I posted the other day about Venus Retrograde and how that’s affecting us. It’s just one piece of the puzzle though. * Saturn has been retrograde since mid-March, and will station direct at the beginning of August. * Pluto has been retrograde since mid-April. * Neptune and Chiron both went retrograde last month. * Uranus…

Venus Retrograde
I talk about Mercury Retrograde all the time. To be fair, it’s a frequent occurrence, and it gets a lot of negative press. Other planets retrograde, too, though. We have been in the pre-shadow of Venus Retrograde for a few weeks. As we get closer to the event, its influence gets stronger (it starts Saturday)….
Antsy, Crackly, and Raw
No, they’re not new smurfs. I’ve been hearing a lot of reports from people that they’re raw, overextended, or just plain done. I’ve also been hearing from my students, who are actively and consciously working on their issues, about the pointed opportunities to practice the skills and tools they’re developing. I suspect that everyone is…

Prayers for Charleston
In the wake of the horrific AME Massacre, yet another instance of domestic terrorism in the form of a hate crime, I urge you to stop giving energy to the hate-filled terrorist who shot up the church. Forget his name. Don’t read the stories about what a soft-spoken kid he was. Don’t post his picture,…

Living in Harmony
When we live in more urbanized areas, it’s considerably more challenging to connect to the Spirit of Place, to nature, and to the ancestors (I am using the term here to signify those who used the land before us). I find, though, that even in the heart of Nature, in places like Maui, many non-local…

Moving Through Ego-Generated Resistance
The third chakra, which sits at the solar plexus, is the lower mental body. It is the seat of our individuation, whence logic and intelligence come, and the internalization of the polarity that exists out in the Universe. It is, for most westerners, our main operating system, so it’s pretty strong. That polarity, the push…
Regression During Retrograde
As we move into Imbolc (traditionally 2/1, astrologically 2/3), with Mercury (logic, communication) Retrograde in the visionary sign of Aquarius, and the push-pull on our emotions of having both Mars and Venus in Pisces, we have an amazing opportunity to push through old blocks and health old wounds. If you’re feeling like perhaps your old…
