I was so excited months ago to learn that my Stellar Visions Oracle Cards and Guidebook (with artwork by the uber-talented Sosha Davis) were going to be translated into Spanish. And even more thrilled to just receive my own copy and see that they are out in the world! They seem to currently be available at numerous stores—both brick-and-mortar and online—throughout Spain as well as on Amazon Spain and Amazon Mexico. And for those of you in the U.S. that would like a deck, you can find it via Amazon.com. Unlike the Japanese version of the cards and book, which have the cards in English ..read more

  Susan Wilkinson, via Unsplash My experience writing this week’s reflections itself feels so meta for this week’s inspirations. In what way? Well, what you are reading is not what I originally wrote, was not my initial vision for how I thought I would write about the celestial landscape of the week. I originally undertook another approach but as I was writing, I realized that it would end up being too long and winding, and so I adapted. I searched for a new way to communicate. I changed up my approach and moved the proverbial furniture (of my prose) around. This encouragement to not sta ..read more

  Brad Starkey, via Unsplash The big astrology news of this coming week already feels somewhat like old news. That’s because we’ve all been already in the swirls of it, it being the conjunction (union) between expansive Jupiter and inventive Uranus, which occurs exactly on Saturday, April 20. The ripples of this once-every-thirteen(or so)-year seismic alignment have been lending a background note of creativity or chaos (or both), for the last couple of weeks (if not longer). And just what is it that the Jupiter/Uranus confluence seems to be encouraging? Significant changes. The need ..read more

  Iskra Photography, via Unsplash With the path of totality for Monday’s solar eclipse spanning a swath of Mexico, the United States, and Canada, it seems that so many people have eclipse fever! And with this lunation cozying up with vulnerability-revealing Chiron, it may be that this eclipse—featuring the Sun and Moon in fiery Aries—is deeply catching our attention because it offers us poignant healing opportunities. Even if we can’t see an eclipse in the sky where we live, these celestial events are renowned for being very powerful in the ways in which they can impact our lives. Oftent ..read more

  Edouard Bosse, via Unsplash It’s that time of the year again. On Monday, messenger Mercury begins its thrice-yearly retrograde cycle. As you may know, I don’t consider Mercury Retrograde to be a particularly bad or inauspicious period. One of the best ways to open to its offerings (and sidestep stress that may otherwise arise) is to practice an “as above, so below” orientation. During this period, as Mercury appears to be moving backwards, retracing its steps, and relating to landscapes through a different-than-usual perspective, so should we. Instead of pushing forward into new territ ..read more

  Ryunosuke Kikuno, via Unsplash On Monday we greet the Libra Full Moon, which also happens to be a Lunar Eclipse. Remember: even if you can see an Eclipse in the sky that these celestial events are potent harbingers of illumination in our lives. This lunation calls upon us to integrate our desires with those of the people with whom we are in relationship. It can help us gain insight into whether our approach to satisfying our needs and those of others is a balanced one or whether the scale is tipped to one side. For example, do we over-accomodate others to the detriment of our self, or ..read more

  Chris Hardy, via Unsplash Last week, I wrote about how we may experience an affinity for blur and how we may connect to the streams of love. We may have seen how things are more connected than we previously perceived and the ways in which they may dissolve into each other. This blur could have applied to both the things we experienced in the world as well as how we experienced our inner world. The blur may have connected us to depths of beauty and joy, those that can be known when we feel connected to a state of transcendence. It may also have had us experiencing moments in which our e ..read more

  Eugene Golovesov, via Unsplash As Chiron comes together with the North Node on Tuesday, we’re reminded of our capacity for healing. Whispers of past hurts and sorrows may cross our radar wanting to be acknowledged. In doing so, we’re encouraged to find a rightful place for them, one that doesn’t shroud them from our awareness and yet one that doesn’t have them serve as the cornerstone of who we are and how we orient to life. In honor of this alignment, I wanted to share some resonant quotes that caught my attention: "Healing yourself is connected with healing others." - Yoko Ono "It's ..read more

  Photo: Nanette via Unsplash As the week begins, it’s important to be diligent when it comes to expending energy. While we may find ourselves with a desire to pursue an array of achievements, before adding yet another thing to our to-do list, we may want to survey the motivation behind each activity. Is your inspiration arising from a deep sense of desire or are you just staying busy for staying busy’s sake? While there is nothing wrong with the latter, being conscious of the reason/s we feel called to achieve a goal, champion a cause, or mobilize ourselves into action can bring more th ..read more

  Photo: Annie Spratt via Unsplash Did you find this past week to be stirring? What things rose to the surface that had been previously buried? What intricate feelings did intimate experiences yield? What touched your innermost recesses, unlocking emotional swells, whether they be of love, anger, joy, grief, or the like? What levels of commitment and resourcefulness were you able to access, digging into a wealth of power, notably in the face of others whom you may have previously believed to have more control? I ask these questions as they are some that touch on the swirl of intense move ..read more
