Full Moon Invocation & Visualization

Full moons, new moons, blue moons, blood moons, wolf moon, worm moon, snow moon, pink moon, harvest moons, flower moon, haunted moons, moon river... oh my! What do we need to do and when to get the most benefit of their powerful energies?

What is Mercury Retrograde?

What is Mercury Retrograde?

Our need to slow down and rest a bit is similar to a planet’s retrograde passage. Just around the corner in early March, Mercury will turn retrograde for the first time this year. In fact, every calendar year, Mercury turns retrograde two to three times, for weeks each cycle.  Some of us are aware of when this will occur and actually prepare for it as much as possible; others caught up in the midst of this activity wonder why their calls aren’t being returned, their tech devices are going haywire, their packages are delayed. Here’s the deal: except for the Sun and Moon, all planets turn retrograde. Why…. and what do you need to know about it?

How does Mercury affect your personality?

How does Mercury affect your personality?

Many of us know our astrological Sun signs. But have you ever wondered what makes people with the same Sun sign seem so different? Say for example, why is one Leo so completely different from another Leo? How can they have the same sun sign when they seem like they are totally opposite signs?

Not all Leos are created alike, for good reason. Each of us is a composite of every planet in the galaxy. From the Sun all the way out to Pluto, each planet plays a role in our lives.

At the moment of our birth, every planet is located in a particular sign and house, one of 12 slices of heaven. These elements form your natal birth chart, the blueprint for your life. So any two Leos born in the same year, between July 22-August 21, will have planets in different signs and houses. Even twins born minutes apart are unique. Every single one of us is truly our own individual person.

The New Moon

The New Moon

Each New Moon is a chance to begin again. Each month, every 28 days, we are given a fresh cycle to begin anew. Twelve, sometimes 13 times a year, a New Moon occurs. These initiate larger cycles within the context of our lives. How can we optimize this fresh start, this NEW MOON energy?

Rising Sign: What is its significance in our Natal Chart?

 Rising Sign: What is its significance in our Natal Chart?

What exactly is a Rising Sign (also known as the Ascendant) and why would it garner so much attention as to be mentioned in the same phrase as a Sun sign?  And, what significance does it have on your life? Because it is the literal starting point of our entire chart.  It is the eastern-most point on our chart at the moment of our birth.  Thus the Rising Sign determines where every single planet falls in our chart…

What's my Moon Sign... and what does it say about me?

What's my Moon Sign... and what does it say about me?

What’s my moon sign and what does it say about me? Many of us are familiar with our Sun sign. We will occasionally read our horoscope in newspapers, magazines or online. However, there is much more to our own personal horoscope. Each planet, from the Moon to Pluto, is in a particular sign and house at the moment of our birth. Together, these comprise our astrological chart. The Moon is our emotional interior, our feelings, how we interpret and digest stimulus on the deepest level.  Only when we are very, very at ease, do we show our Moon and relate to others with it.

October Astrological Forecast: Put your cards on the table!

October Astrology Forecast: Libra Libra Libra… the beginning of fall heralds in the ♎️Libra season. ♎️Libra is known for peace, negotiation, art, and beauty. It strives for balance, equality, and reconciliation between differences. But this sign of order is lesser-known for ruling open adversaries. ♎️Libra represents opposing views and those who hold them. Hmmmmm….

September Astrological Forecast: Know-how meets And-how!

September Astrological Forecast: Know-how meets And-how!

A remarkably quieter month cosmically, September’s low key energy keeps us grounded. September is humble and relatively drama-free, but please don’t mistake the softer spoken sign of ♍️Virgo for a pushover......used well, the planetary alignments from September 1st to the 🌕Full Moon on the 13th are nothing short of miraculous.
