Make Space for Grace
Greetings to all my precious people!
The Spring Equinox arrived on Thursday March 20, heralding the Astrological New Year as the Sun begins its journey through the 12 zodiac placements. Pisces is the end of the Sun’s journey and Aries represents the beginning. They are the Omega and Alpha. Pisces is Yin, Aries is Yang. Pisces is Water, Aries is Fire. This is a profound liminal moment delivering all sorts of changes, and they will occur without any input from us. Instead, the natural cycle of events unfolds, and if we are paying attention we will see glimpses of patterns marking a powerful shift in the ancient cycle of Earth. continue reading
Compassion is the Remedy
Compassionate action has to start with ourselves.
If we are willing to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves,
then we will be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others
and never give up on them.

March is known for swift weather changes, a fullness of madness and mayhem, as the Earth readies itself for the exuberance of Spring. The season of eclipses is also upon us—and shift, change and release loom on the horizon. The March Full Moon, traditionally known as the “Worm Moon,” occurred on Friday March 14, 2025 at 2:55 a.m. EDT. It coincided with a total lunar eclipse, so the moon is also called the Blood Moon because of the reddish hue it takes on during the eclipse. Occurring in the sign of Virgo, this marks the first such event since 2016. continue reading
Remember Your Body is Wise
This living
breathing body
always waiting
to greet you
at the door,
always prepared
to give you
the rest you need,
always,
no matter
the long
years away,
still
wanting you,
to come home.

Greetings to all my precious people!!
The Full Snow Moon reached its peak illumination at 8:53 am EST on Wednesday February 12. This February Full Moon appears in the constellation of Leo, the sign of the Lion. According to Lorna Bevan of Hare in the Moon Astrology, we are now caught in the days when timelines jump and things feel mismatched. The roadmap of 2025 is filled with twists and turns and nothing resembling “business as usual” will be showing up on the horizon. The only way forward is through, as we learn to recognize and negotiate the unprecedented inner and outer experiences and phenomena. continue reading
Remember Your Roots: This is Your Homecoming
“Focus on who you are and what you’ve built,
not on what you’d planned on being or what you expected to have.
Trust that the present moment however difficult,
however different from what you’d imagined
has something to teach you.”
~~ Maggie Smith

We are in the middle of January, the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the deep yin of Winter, when Nature shows us the ancient patterns and cycles of the Earth. It is a time of quiet, a time of repose, a season of reflection and incubation. Nature is gathering up resources, from the soil, from our dreams, from the inspiration of conversations, or music, or poetry. We are in the midst of opportunities—to shed what no longer serves us, to lean into the callings of our heart and soul. continue reading
Finding the Wisdom of Winter
“To get better at wintering,
we need to address our very notion of time.
We tend to imagine that our lives are linear,
but they are in fact cyclical.”

Greetings to all my precious people!!
December has arrived and there is a flurry of activity as the countdown begins to the end of year holidays. In a society driven by constant consumerism, we are often encouraged to do more, buy more, and push endlessly toward productivity. The rhythms of Nature—marked by cycles of growth, rest, and renewal—are largely forgotten in the rush to maintain momentum. Yet Nature gently reminds us of the importance of pause. continue reading
