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

  Photo: Suheyl Burak via Unsplash As the week begins, we may find ourselves with the urge to dive more deeply into a subject. Just accepting what someone tells us may not seem in alignment with our thirst for knowledge. As such, we’re infused with a desire to plumb below the surface and excavate more nuanced levels of insights, those that aren’t initially offered. Getting to the bottom of things feels like a top-line priority. With the Sun making a square to shake-it-up Uranus, coloring outside of the lines and being inventive may seem de rigueur. This may arise from a sense that experi ..read more

  While I’ve been alluding to this for a little while, the time has finally arrived for me to share this exciting development…. After years of study and practice work, I am now introducing systemic family constellations sessions into my roster of services. And I couldn’t be more thrilled since it’s a healing approach that has such incredible transformative power! An Overview of Systemic Family Constellations A method that honors family systems therapy and spiritual mysticism, this soulful work can help us access a deeper level of freedom to be our authentic self. Its techniques gift us ..read more

  Photo: Drew Dizzy Graham, via Unsplash As the week begins, consider what moves you. What ignites your passions and desires? What causes do you want to champion? What galvanizes your will? Also, consider how it is that you move. Do you find yourself quickly called into action or do you pull the trigger more slowly? Do you usually take different routes when setting out to get to a destination (whether a literal or figurative one) or do you usually follow the same course?  I’m suggesting this because Monday, the planet Mars plays quite a prominent place in the kairos. As it squares t ..read more

  Image by Simon Lee via Unsplash About every thirty years, we move through our Saturn Return, a stellar life stage in which time becomes a great teacher and we make a deeper commitment to how we truly want to author our lives. It occurs when Saturn, the planet of structure and limits, revisits the zodiac spot it occupied when we were born, offering us an opportunity to more authentically define, design, and pursue our life path. And while many people associate the Saturn Return with the cosmic rite of passage they move through in their late 20s, it also occurs when we are in our late 50 ..read more

  Photo by Wout Vanacker via Unsplash This April is quite the month! Last week we had the Chiron-informed Full Moon. For many this intense lunation inspired moments in which sorrows, wounding and/or self-limiting narratives were shining quite brightly, and in their seeing the light of day drew our attention not only to the need for healing but also gave us peeks into the pathway for doing so. And then next week, we have a Pluto-infused Solar Eclipse at the last degree of Aries that may have us feel compelled to champion for something deeply new and enriching. And yet given that it’s an e ..read more

  Photo by Amy Shamblen via Unsplash With messenger Mercury uniting with expansive Jupiter this week, there’s a sense of unbridled expression. Given they are both in Aries, we can tap into the courage it takes to give ourselves permission to name and claim the ideas that stream forth, and to communicate them with others. Boldness is the name of the game and what is expressed has the potential to catalyze new growth as well as have us advocate for causes we feel need championing. The blossoming energy of Aries may have us feel more aligned with a sense of youthfulness, inspirations that a ..read more

  Photo by Carson Arias Dygt via Unsplash We’re about to experience a changing of the guards, on both a micro and macro level. The micro level is related to the seasonal shift upon us. On Monday, the Vernal Equinox occurs and with this spring springs forth in the Northern Hemisphere and fall falls upon those in the Southern Hemisphere. This moment always coincides with the Sun swimming away from receptive Pisces and charging into initiating Aries. And with that, we may find ourselves with a flashier swing in our step and a desire to be in movement and charge into action. Just a day after ..read more

  Photo by Samuel Regan Asante via Unsplash There is a stunning alignment that occurs this week: a triple conjunction between the radiant Sun, messenger Mercury, and boundary-blurring Neptune in Pisces, all making a tense square to action-oriented Mars in Gemini. Reflecting this, I feel that getting lost is one of the key themes of the week, the experience of which may go one of two general ways. Ideally, it’s the type of lost in which you actually find something that you had not previously perceived, that only comes to your awareness when usual modes of perception go on hiatus, and more ..read more
