Hold On To Your Hats!
This just in from SpaceWeather: This morning (Sept. 9th at 00:30 UT) the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158 erupted, producing a long-duration solar flare and a bright CME. The CME, which billowed away from the sun at nearly 1,000 km/s, has an Earth-directed component. A glancing blow is possible during the late hours of Sept….
New Moon in Cancer, Moving out of Mercury Retrograde
We did our monthly New Moon Gathering tonight, and had some new people, which is always lovely. It was a powerful meditation for me. Here are some barebones notes about the current energies: New Moon in Cancer (water sign) – first lunar cycle of the summer (Mad Midsummer Moon) Intentions set now have the possibility…
Solar Activity in the First Third of Mercury Retrograde (in Gemini)
I got an email from SpaceWeather this morning: Breaking a weeks-long spell of quiet, the sun erupted on June 10th, producing not one but two X-class solar flares. The source is a new sunspot just emerging over the sun’s southeastern limb. This active region is not squarely facing our planet. However, it will become increasingly…
Into the Darkness
I won’t be doing a public New Moon Ceremony this weekend. My dear friends, who were going to host, had their schedule shifted by the early arrival of their new son. Additionally, Samhain took more out of me than I anticipated, so I’ll be honoring the Dark Moon privately. This doesn’t mean I can’t still…
And so it begins…
Welcome to eclipse season! And a Full Moon! And renewed solar activity! And the thinning of the veil! And Mercury retrograde! …And some other stuff too, I’m sure… For all I write about Mercury Retrograde and Lunar cycles, I am not an astrologer. I play, but I have so many lovely colleagues whose passion it…
Midway-ish into the Shift
On June 20th, I started talking about a Shift we were approaching, and then again on July 6th. This Shift is like the one we underwent in December of 2012, but bigger or stronger (neither word is completely accurate). Like December, though, this is a paradigm shift. Every time we have one, from now on,…
Water Water Everywhere, Taking Us Into The Shadows
This is a month of much water… All the Mercury Retrogrades this year are in water signs, which makes them a little different that usual. They’re much more emotional than mental or physical. So, if you’ve been working on your emotional authenticity, or you’ve been doing a lot of emotional work, you may very well…
Solar Storms
I posted last night to FaceBook that Spaceweather said “A moderate (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm is in progress on June 28-29 as Earth passes through a region of south-pointing magnetism in the solar wind. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. In the northern hemisphere, solstice twilight will sharply reduce visibility; southern hemisphere observers may…
Manifesting During Mercury Retrograde
Mercury goes retrograde on Thursday of this week. It is, however, already affecting us. As a reminder, the protocol before doing anything during Mercury Retrograde is to Stop Breathe Ground It’s always a good idea to take a moment and figure out how you got “here,” whatever your “here” is right now. All actions taken…
Through the Worm Hole
I’ve been talking about how we’re going through a shift right now that is, in some ways, even more intense than the one we had last December. Today, I got one of those “data dumps” of information about it. I will try to unpack it for you. This is a mirror of the Winter Solstice…
Reorganization of Information
I am in the process of rethinking the organization of this website, and it really is a metaphor for what’s going on in my life. I need to change the order of presentation, for one, so that something else is presented when you first come to the site. I am also re-evaluating my masks and…
