Igniting Fierce Self-Compassion
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection.

Major transition and recalibration is the highlight of this week and beyond, as Saturn enters the fire sign Aries on May 24, for the first time in nearly three decades. Saturn represents the archetype of The Wise Old One in Jungian psychology, embodying the aspects of maturity, stability and grounded realism, and it reminds us that time stands still for no one. Between now and 2028, be on the lookout for the reality checks we didn’t choose but surely need. The resistance we manifest, the magical thinking we utilize, the beliefs we were handed down and cling to without question. Saturn is responsible for throwing up obstacles so that we might face them, gain resilience and continue to grow and evolve into a new life stage. continue reading
Your Body is the Oracle
There is a pattern, an order, in human bodies…
When the body gets working appropriately,
the force of gravity can flow through.
Then spontaneously, the body heals itself.

The world continues to shape-shift as the chaos of rebirth and renewal unfolds. While so much of life is happening outside of us—outside our bodies, outside our control, outside our cities and countries—there is one constant truth we can rely on. We are in our bodies. We are going about our day to day lives in the original house of our birth—a body so miraculous and mysterious that we many times take it for granted. continue reading
The Sacred Presence
“We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
~~ Robert Frost
Greetings to all my precious people!!
April has finally arrived, announcing the season of Spring in all her magnificent glory! The budding trees, colorful crocuses, happy daffodils, fragrant hyacinth, and bursting yellow forsythia petals are part of the ancient cycle of Nature in rebirth. The potent incubation of Winter supported this unfolding celebration of renewal and exuberance. Can you feel the vibrations of new life surrounding you? Breathe in the sweetness, listen to the birdsongs, feel the warmth of the sun on your body. We, too, are part of the rebirth that is happening all around us. But nothing is clear nor settled right now. Instead, the shroud of post-eclipse dust lingers. And we are in the midst of a particularly shadowy recalibration. continue reading
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
