(you can see it in its entirety here) I am only one of four people I know who works with the element of fire and isn’t a fire performer. Fire is the energy of transmutation; it is defined by its action and its movement, it is never static. Fire always demands a sacrifice. A sacrifice…

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…
Shift! in 3… 2… 1…
That next shift I wrote about on June 30th is likely to crescendo this month, between the 17th and the 22nd. As i have mentioned before, grounding, shoring up your foundations, and practicing self care are of paramount importance. I have also mentioned in several places, I think, adding the following to your daily practice:…
New Moon Introspection
This is a New Moon of Trickster energy, of contradictions, and of crumbling foundations. Go inward, into your heart, and get to know yourself. Get the ego out of the way, and get real. Ask yourself the hard questions. Find out what’s really going on. Clear out the cobwebs, throw the windows open, and shake…
Today’s First Quarter Moon Energies
Today is a first quarter moon, an auspicious time to put effort and action into achieving your goals. It is a day for doing. You may experience some resistance along the way, as there is some energetic inertia, but focused perseverance is is likely to pay off. If you find yourself in crisis today, and…
New Moon, Eclipse, Retrograde, Oh My!
There’s a lot of very interesting energy going on right now. One of my colleagues refers to this period, between tonight and the lunar eclipse in two weeks, as a “wormhole.” “So, what’s going on,” you ask? We’ve got a New Moon, in Scorpio, where the Sun, in full solar eclipse, and Saturn are as…
New Moon in Leo is Here and September Cometh
Leo is a magnificent sign. New Moon in Leo gives us the opportunity to reclaim our creativity, to get back into the present, to be passionate and joyful about our lives, and to put ourselves fully in alignment with our purpose. This is the perfect reset button, because we are moving quickly into September, which…
New Moon; Mercury Retrograde; Mars and Saturn in Libra; Solar Flares!
Are you feeling jangly? Emotional? Raw? Jumpy? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Congratulations! You’re right on track. We just entered a three year cycle of breakthroughs, where we need to honor, acknowledge, and make friends with our emotions in order to change the world. Tall order, eh? Nurture yourself. Listen to your emotions. Stay away from people and…
Here we go!
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…
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….
