The Need for Solace

“I wish grace and healing were more abracadabra kind of things.” 

~~ Anne Lamott

Greetings to all my precious people!!

The last of the Super Moons in 2024 rises this week. The Full Beaver Moon will rise on Friday November 15 at 4:28 p.m. EST, though it is best seen in its fullness at moonrise on Saturday, November 16. That will also coincide with the peak of the annual Leonid meteor shower. It is the last of four consecutive Super Moons that include August Blue Moon, September Harvest Moon and October Hunter Moon. Super Moons occur at perigee: the point when the Moon’s orbit is closest to Earth and so the Moon appears a little brighter and larger than an average Full Moon.  continue reading »

Cultivate Your Gifts of Presence

“Learn the alchemy true human beings know. 

The moment you accept what troubles you’ve been given, 

the door will open.”

~~ Rumi

Greetings to all my precious people!

These early days of November are unusually warm and sunny, and the tree leaves are scattered along the ground, creating a multi-colored tapestry of Nature. We are in a liminal space—an energetic void—as the constellations of the Universe shift in their trajectory. Pluto is moving out of Capricorn after 15 years of chaos, trouble, and turmoil, and we are now entering Aquarius for the next 20 years. It is no wonder that we are all feeling a bit detached and unanchored, for this is a time of radical transformation whether we like it or not. Instead of feeling frustrated or impatient, choose to be fully present in these moments, for we are being shaped and seeded for recalibration on many levels.  continue reading »
