Hello, hello, my beautiful soul tribe. How are you feeling in the energy today? I am so grateful you are here, and I appreciate you.  I am vibing in a somber mood today, not so sure of where the heaviness is coming from, although the Moon is conjunct my South Node and Venus is kissing my Libran Pluto opposite my Venus. Pluto also happens to be sextile my Moon conjunct Jupiter, amid its other ping pong game of aspects sliding along the energy of journey, this expression of interwoven energy playing out in my conversation below.

The clouds are gray and low, dancing with the wind as it makes itself known and brings the message of rain. It’s one of those days meant for cuddling close, the warmth and energy of love creating a sphere of comfort, calm, and safety umbrellaed under love and passion, or in the comfort of solitude, some good mind and soul food, a cup of rose, cinnamon, and hibiscus tea with a bowl of homemade French Onion Soup and a piece of French bread halved, straight out of the oven topped with provolone and garlic bits. Pleasure and comfort in safety.

Yes, it’s that kind of day. I sit here today, reflecting on the week, Thanksgiving yesterday, and the thoughts that take a number in line waiting for my attention. It’s been odd sort of week, my days of client work wonderful, deep, and intense, the Scorpionic energy soaking in, bringing pieces up from those not-so-hidden places meant for introspection, action, and change. Monday brought up a deep gut instinct to cancel my weekend, that still has me perplexed, although it is only Friday, the first day of the weekend planned, and I have seen Caracara and Owl all week, who, in my life warn of danger and deceit ahead, leaving that feeling of apprehension hanging around in the background.  

It has also been a week of some awesome synchronicities, signs, and revelations, guiding me, compelling me in the direction of my dreams, and loudly knocking, or shouting how “Ready” I am. A little conversation net yet met to be all the way out of the bag here! Needless to say, intensity sits quite comfortably in the air, the pressure to act, to dive, to move and be guided. There is a lot of work to be done.

We have all come to know Thanksgiving as a holiday for gratitude and the peace between the Native Americans and Europeans that invaded North America back in the 1600’s. As a New England girl, I grew up visiting Plymouth Rock and other museums, or historical areas that made the history books. Sturbridge Village was one of my favorite places and I was fascinated with learning how to make everything from scratch. Actually, obsessed would probably be more appropriate of a term. But I digress, mainly because Thanksgiving in Florida feels a whole lot different than Thanksgiving in Connecticut, and because this year, the idea of celebrating Thanksgiving has taken on a whole new feeling after the truth of brutality and disrespect rears its head open.

I could not help but send out apologies to Native Americans yesterday, the ancestors, my ancestors yesterday. Thanksgiving kinda took a feeling of a slap in the face. I have always felt an anger, an “Oh my God, how can people be so evil and forceful?” when it came to learning about war and even watching it in television shows. I don’t understand why someone thinks they can just come into an area and murder, plunge, and take over an area that people are already existing. That idea does not just exist in the sense of people, but the whole idea of nature being demolished instead of working with, especially with the big push of climate change.

So, we celebrate a holiday that basically enables the invasion of indigenous people and their land. Foreigners approach a land, consider themselves above and more civilized than people who embody the whole area of that land, rape, murder, massacre people for not being like them or getting pissed because of reactions to being ass holes in their land again, and again, and again. And then there is all of sudden peace and a happy dinner and day of celebration. Yep, not, do you really think that, given the history of how North America was invaded that this was dinner of volunteering Native Americans eating with these people. I am quite sure there is some definite coercion and impounded fear that was involved in eating with the Europeans.

And just like Columbus Day? Why the hell do we celebrate a mass murderer, who did not even land in North America, but the Caribbean. Besides, how the hell do you discover a land that people already live on, and sure as hell have been visited by other cultures, the Vikings, and the Chinese to start with, not to mention other hidden information and history not yet discovered or told.

So yes, a little bit of a mixed mood as I totally enjoyed spending time with family yesterday. Memories turned into stories around food, conversation, the dance of mingling of DNA. The feeling of appreciation, love, and gratitude filled to the brink along with our stomachs. The feeling of missing family members no longer with us or living thousands of miles away, and the dreams and ideas of where I have been to where I am, to where I intend to be. It is a day, a time of crossroads, where all that I have taken in is centrifuged, creating a solution, a time of intentionally stepping into a place I am destined to be. This whole feeling, a beautiful blend of the energy described above and the entry point in my journey that begins a month of a progressed Moon at 29 degrees in the 8th house, and natal 10th house, Aquarius.

I love to the see the way astrology expresses its energy in my life. The more I have observed, the more I have felt into the energy, the more I have learned what energy, or recipe of energy is present, and there are many lightening quick moments where the information screams this Pluto sextile Mercury is, or yes, this Venus conjunct Lilith. These moments of awareness develop my intuition and allow me to work deeper with my intentions and the energy available. That is my intention for these blogs, these moments of life where I can demonstrate through the events of my life through astrology. It is magic to me, and I wish to share that magic and hope to inspire and empower you to learn your own reaction to all the energies that resonate with you in your life, not just astrology.
​
And with that, I thank you for my reading my streams of consciousness… 😉😉 I appreciate your time and am looking forward to this game of life this next week. Mindset madness, deep bodywork, and diving into my words like a mermaid hungry for water. Stay true to your Souls, my Beautiful Soul Tribe!!

​Hello, Hello, My Beautiful Soul Tribe! Happy New Moon in Scorpio. Have you written down your Scorpionic intentions for the month?  I find it quite hilarious as I sit down to this blog on a Monday morning that Hawk is talking close to my sliding glass doors. The Universe is amazing in how it manages to get messages across and through my “Muddle modes.”

 Muddle mode you ask? After many years and being in the pattern of loading on as much as I can on my plate, I have realized that if I am going to do that, I need a Muddle Day or two in between the work I decide to take on. It is my decompression/recharge moment. The latest lesson with my Muddle Days has been to STOP thinking about all the things that are on my never-ending list and to take a Muddle Day before I am worn down to high dysfunction, meaning bad choices and self-sabotage. Crappy food that makes my joints sore and swollen the next day, thought cycling that is not serving me, isolating myself from the world when I really need some social love, and the lack of motivation to be moving around like I should.

The week after the Lunar Eclipse felt like a drawn-out tidal wave that was quite the paradox, quick, but in slow, persistent, steady motion, over this last week. Raw, overwhelming, emotional, and lots of purging. The last few months have been energetically busy on all levels. On my end, I had a contract with some clients that needed as much of my attention as possible and hustling the last week of October and beginning of November, in conjunction with an increasing client load.

Collectively, I had several clients reel into the emotions of overwhelm that hung collectively in the air, and as I floated through  as an observer, the person channeling those raw emotions. On my own end of the spectrum, “Hello, Lunar Eclipse in my 1st and 7th house, I had my own issues of self-worth, self-mastery, and memories of relationships come up that surged up some reflection and restructuring. Sleep, sleep, and more sleep, the time change adding to the mix as well.

Jupiter and Uranus slowly cruise through Taurus, meeting up with my natal Chiron to push that self-worth to new levels, the peeling layers of awakening and being in my body. Uranus, oh lovely Uranus, the shit-shocker, electrical, lightning storms of epiphanies, bittersweet, brutal, and amazing, dancing a dance in his opposition to my natal Uranus in Scorpio, beckoning to call forward the freedom of my new self-image that is slowly being molded, and yet still calling for my fierce independence and freedom in the relationships I engage in. That is just one of the dances that a beautiful splash of a chart brings. I was made to be adaptable and move with the fusion of energy that celestial heavens align for me, continually working will all the planets on intimate levels, their archetypes guiding me to where I am meant to serve for the time being.

Back to the New Moon, Venus sets the theme, as she did for the last two Eclipses, Libra, the rising sign for EST. Venus herself is at 5°, and the Ascendant at 20°, “A Jewish Rabbi,” indicated settled traditional wisdom, Venus, her Sabian Symbol stating, “A man teaching true inner knowledge.” Pallas Athene and the South Node are a few degrees away from each other. A beautiful energy to recognize old patterns that no longer serve us in whatever sector your Libra House happens to be.

For instance, for my life, Libra is my natal 6th house. So everyday issues will be brought to the forefront. What is working in my life right now as far as how I feel and how balanced I am will be highlighted. Destinn is on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio, Scorpio bring my one-on-one relationships and events will be churned through in regards as to what I hold valuable, tangible in my world. What needs to be transformed and purged as far as my beliefs of others and their position in my life? Destinn brings the events and relationships I am destined for, no matter what their medium of expression. Scorpio is a highlighted energy as we left the Taurus-Scorpio axis in July and Eclipse energy works for a good six months. A beautiful domino effect of purging as Pluto scrapes the crumbs out of Capricorn to create space for the new lessons of power. Pluto will dip back into Capricorn on September 1, 2024, that trip being his last final round until the year of 2094 sometime.

The Sun, Moon, Mars, and Ceres are conjunct bringing a fusion that can hone some awesome tunnel vision. Scorpio is very much about power, giving away your power, claiming your power, or stepping into your power and staying stable in that belief and knowledge. “A woman drawing aside two black curtains,” is the Sabian Symbol for 20° Scorpio, the placement of the New Moon. We are being asked to step into remembrance, pulling that inner knowledge that you know resonates so deep in your Soul, to the surface and have Faith in your Future. It is our absolute Faith in the Divine that shapes how we manifest our future.

This stellium of Scorpionic energy is gifted with a trine to Neptune and Spirit. That trine is part of 2 Grand Minor Trines bringing ample opportunities as Neptune sextiles Uranus and Pluto, and Pluto sextiles Neptune and the Scorpio stellium.  The overloads are not playing any games and the importance of awakening is set through this continual Grand Minor Trine. Neptune equals unconditional love, the highest octave of Venus, shapeshifting, blurry vision, dreams, multidimensional, multiverse, creative, empathy, boundaries, and she is in her home of Pisces, sextile to Uranus. We discussed this ball-breaker, shaking and shocking remembrance into Souls, piece by piece, and Pluto in Capricorn, bulldozing through the patriarch and bringing the corrupt to the surface.

While Capricorn, Pluto, and Saturn do not have the greatest reputations in astrology. Where Saturn is ambitious, ruthless as hell when it comes to attaining its goals, Pluto lends that energy as well, and combination of where power and discipline meet is continually testing those areas in life that are necessary for our growth. And remember, Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, so Mars is at home with this energy, pushing the Sun, Moon and Ceres towards focusing on the self-care required to be conjunct with the elements of what Scorpio is bringing in your life right now. Mercury joins a trine to Neptune, but he is Sagittarius, his thoughts inflated in the idea of higher learning, adventure, dogma, and or travel.

There is a mutable T-square, which is formed with Saturn as the apex at 1° Pisces. He just turned direct on 11/4. Have you felt the Saturn themes slowly churn in the external direction? Saturn’s ambition, discipline, and ruthlessness will prevail as he moves forward pushing the issues that Pisces encompasses. Spirituality, substance abuse, looking at life with rose-colored glasses, not seeing what is in front of you, but also seeing and feeling beyond. Where does Pisces live in your chart? Saturn is square the Scorpio stellium and square Uranus retrograde in Taurus, meaning there will be a push to discipline these themes and ruthlessness that can hone following your dreams and epiphanies that are rising to the surface. Even one little movement towards your dreams a day makes a dent in the distance between now and manifestation.  

This is how I interpret this Mutable T-Square transit in my chart. Saturn is located in my natal 4th house, and Capricorn (Saturn rules Capricorn) in my 9th house, Aquarius, (Saturn co-rules with Uranus), is my 10th house. Saturn is transiting through my 11th house right, pushing a disciplined form of spiritual ritual in my creative process. My spirituality is tightly interwoven with home, with my Sanctuary.  Saturn rules that discipline as the ruler of my 9th house. My relationship with Spirit is steadfast, stable, consistent, and it is also a time where I have felt  more drawn to be a bigger part of the collective and have been building that foundation steadily. The square from Saturn to Scorpio will add the tunnel vision from heaven or hell, whichever thought form I choose. Because Scorpio tends to have a darker energy that is about demolishing, focusing on my power and the thoughts that follow them is very important these months. I see the energy as a powerful, obsessive-compulsive energy to work for long periods of time as I channel the transformational energy Uranus is so beautifully lending.

Self-awareness, intention, “creativity plus consciousness equals change,” that formula, my friends is directly quoted from Amy Dempster of Following Hawks. Whatever I can do to make my intentions stronger, the implementation of those intentions stronger and work with the energy that is available and in sync with my body, I am all for it. A Divine Almanac.

The New Moon had some additional leverage with 11/11 just two days before. A beautiful portal of energy for beginnings and mastery. On 11/11/1918, at the 11th hour, World War II ended and a year later, President Woodrow Wilson established 11/11 as a day to remember all the soldiers who had died in World War I. So I am sending a  huge shout out to those who served this beautiful country I was born in, despite the chaos that has been a constant spotlight in recent years, more so than I can remember my lifetime of 45 years on this Earth,  Thank you, thank you, thank you for fighting in wars that politicians and elites messaged fiercely with fear induced propaganda that you were fighting for the freedom of our country. I am so grateful for your service to humanity.
​
I thank you My Beautiful Friends from the tip of my toes for being here, for taking the time to read my blog. I hope that you find the areas of power calling you to step into this month, and the ability to focus those powerful emotions. Until next week.

Helllllloooooo My Beautiful Soul Tribe! It is the day post the last Taurus-Scorpio Lunar Eclipse for quite a while and I am laying here in bed with gratitude pouring out of my Soul. I am so loving this energy and feelings of being productive weaving in and out of worlds as I embody the essence of my Gemini Moon conjunct Jupiter. There has been a change. I can see that now, as the picture is getting bigger. I knew quite a while ago that major transformation was on its way, but I am actually feeling it now, and this is just the beginning of this phase.
The last few years have felt like molasses compared to the last few months. My days shapeshifting as a writer to home health care nurse to home organizer-packing to move technician to massage therapist to Mom back to writer to retail specialist. Sometimes I am all of these in one day, keeping myself on my toes. But there has been a deeper, more palpable shift.

I really am quite blessed with all the clients I have attracted into my life and the clients I have now, no matter which hat I am wearing for the hour of the day, each and every person is totally amazing. I love what I do. Absolutely feel so blessed, so privileged, and in complete spiritual alignment. Feathers, hearts, the perfect number at the perfect times, baby cows and baby goats munching away enjoying their serenity as I smile at their presence on my drives. The simplicity of life that makes me smile as I bust my ass so gorgeously feeling time whirl in its surreal movement.

My October Lunar Return began on October 4th this month. And what is a Lunar Return? A Lunar Return is cycle where your natal Moon reaches the exact same degree every month. This creates a whole new chart for the month ahead witch an Ascendant and Sun, and your Moon, living in a different house. I have been following my Lunar Returns since 2014, observing and feeling the energy to see what the upcoming month held for me and as a guide as to where I can focus my energy more efficiently instead of resisting against the energy perhaps with my intention and tunnel vision. There is a fine balance between surrendering to Spirit and working on my intentions.

I often cast my Lunar Return then cast a Lunar Return against my Natal Chart and go from there. Lessons learned, Sabian Symbols are muy importante and the Ascendant’s degree and Sabian Symbol have definitely proved to be quite predictive of the energy honed there within. When I say predictive, I don’t by any means “predict” what is going to happen, but I mean, the energy of this degree shows up somewhere shortly after my Lunar Return date and there is the instant….”Aweeee, okay, so here we are.” I work intentionally with the expressions that the chart exudes, framing my intentions with the most positive expressions and holding space for the challenges that may come up, also, viewing any challenges as lessons that I need to learn and as motivational factors.

So for October, my Lunar Return fell on October 4th. My Ascendant was at 3° Taurus, my natal Ascendant, exactly conjunct my natal Chiron. So I automatically knew this month was somehow going to change my life, my identity. The Sun was in Libra, conjunct Pallas Athene, and the Vertex, which made a conjunction to my natal Pluto, and Mars was conjunct the South Node, conjunct my Natal Vertex. Woo hoo hoo, oh yeah, mad, powerful action coming from the past. The South Node represents the past, meaning bringing up events, issues, people, that need to be revisited and reevaluated. What needs to be let go of, and what does not.

My Moon, the most important point of the Lunar Return was in the 2nd of Gemini. So emotions, intuition, and nurturing themes directed my emotional, intuitive, compass. The number of aspects from my Moon guide me to exactly how busy I may be. This month, I had eight aspects from my Moon, so I knew I would be fairly busy, and that was reiterated by the number of Grand Aspects. The first thing that caught my eye was the two Yods, or more appropriately known as the “Finger of God.” This meant I had some serious missions to work on this month.

Yod number one had Neptune retrograde and Spirit retrograde in Pisces as the apex with a quincunx to Venus and Juno in Leo sextile to Mars and the South Node in Libra, which then was a quincunx to Neptune retrograde and Spirit retrograde. Hello themes of spirituality, unconditional love, and the creative way to work with Venus and Juno’s feelings of commitment to shine and really work on those feelings of committing to that shine, this conjunction also happens to conjunct my natal Saturn retrograde in Leo. Leo is my 4th house in my chart. Home, sanctuary, ancestral lineage, beliefs, since my IC happens to be located in Leo as well. The doorway to my Soul. And Mars conjunct South Node, conjunct my Vertex, the sextile offers opportunity to heal with news ways of love and habits put into action, and remembrance, not just from when I was younger, but remembrance, as to my core of existence in all of my lifetimes here, finding a way to walk between worlds and creating a balance, its quincunx to Neptune.

The second Yod had Venus and Juno as the apex. Talk about reiteration. Their quincunx right back to Neptune retrograde and Spirit retrograde, Neptune sextile Pluto retrograde, and back to Venus. The power of spiritual commitment, remembering exactly what I came here to do, and the power I have to change exactly what needs to be changed to align with that purpose. The Yods do not end there, the many aspects bouncing back and forth, two Grand Kites with Venus as the apex of one, and Neptune the other, again. Reiterating themes back and forth this month. While the Grand Kite apex with Neptune and Spirit foretell me flying in the spiritual realm, it is Mercury on the cusp of Virgo and Libra and holds the tail, a Earth trine using communication and shapeshifting between the heart of Virgo 5th house and the balance of my Libran 6th house. There has been quite the blend of loving my work and what I do, hobbies very much setting the fusion of my mutable hopping from one side hustle-career choice to the next. A very crystal-clear ease of manifesting my gifts in this earthly realm with huge epiphanies and moments of lightning quick awakening that have induced that clarity. The sextile from Neptune and Spirit sextile both Pluto and Jupiter conjunct Uranus, all three planets retrograde, an ease of powerful transformation in the spiritual sector, and my, my, my, has this theme played out significantly this past month.

 The second Grand Kite with Venus and Juno as the apex opposes Saturn retrograde, a Saturn opposition holding strong this tail end. Saturn has offered the gift of more discipline both in the spiritual world as I serve the collective and that of my sanctuary as I build more and more key habits that develop a committed response to how feel, magical alchemy. The Grand Water Trine of this kite has heightened my journeys to other worlds, offering the intuitive action and transformation of my Moon, Mars, and Pluto.  

There is Cardinal T-square with Pluto as the apex, stepping into my spiritual power, my ability to transmute through this discipline as Pluto squares the North Node in Aries in my 12th house and Mars conjunct the South Node in my 6th house. There has certainly been a push and motivation towards growth and reprogramming my subconscious through my actions and remembrance of the “past.”

To reiterate the ease of alignment and lessons, my Moon sextiles Venus and Juno and the North Node as the hold the energy of this Grand Minor Trine. The intuitive ease of committing to that which I hold dear in my heart, my beliefs, and the lessons in life that reiterate that my intuition rewards those moments of inspired action.

So many components of my Lunar Return that have expressed themselves this month I feel as if I have lived years within a month and my mood, my emotions, my life has become significantly better each and every day.  The Lunar Return’s Ascendant conjunct my natal Chiron with Chiron’s transit in my 12th house opposing my natal Pluto, and Pluto’s transit conjunct the Lunar Return’s Midheaven sextile Neptune and Spirit which conjunct my natal Sun expressed itself as identifying and solidifying myself as Shaman in all that I do. My work with astrology clients and my bodywork clients took off. The crystal healing, the Reiki, the intuitive knowledge that rose to the surface and well, the continual epiphanies that happened every single day.
There are asteroids that I use as well, depending on the information that I am looking for, but for those of you just learning astrology, this beautiful way of communication can be a bit overwhelming. Like the body, learning how the different systems work and interact together only keeps getting deeper. My avid hunger for knowledge, for the depth that these two subjects hold for me, seems like Alice in Wonderland sometimes, actually, more often than not. The work just keeps getting deeper, the more I know, the less I know, and the more I want to learn, the more I want to teach.

I will be working on an astrology planner-journal-guidebook for the month of November. This book will be focused on learning how astrology works in your life, bringing self-awareness, the power of your intention, and a journal to record these thoughts, feelings, and ideas according to your Solar Return. Why not a New Year’s Resolution, some may ask? For the last several years, my Soul, Body, and Mind have become increasingly aware of seasons. I have always loved Autumn and miss it intensely every year. Southwest Florida has a different set of seasons. I am a New England girl at heart, actually scratch that, I am a Mountain Girl. I miss the Mountains all the time and that is where I often escape too.

But the New Year has not resonated with me, the months January through March seem to be a wrap up time for me. With my Solar Return in March, this is when I feel the start of the New Year. I am sure there are others who resonate with this too, hence the birth of the Solar Return Intention Journal and Planner, a place where you can track all the ways you communicate with Spirit, learn how you connect with your astrology, and keep your life in track. Black Friday is the day I set for this publication to be available.
​
On to the busy work, my beautiful Soul Tribe. I am so grateful that you have taken your time to read this. I am so looking forward to creating and birthing so much this year, my mission to elevate your self-awareness and support those going through their own awakenings. I thank you, thank you, thank you, from the tip of my toes. Until next week, make every day a beautiful day and see the silver linings.
