Who in the hell d’you think you are? A super star? Well, right you are. – John Lennon

This weekend, I took a walk down the block to visit a new friend. She served me tea, peppered me with questions about myself and soon enough out tumbled my reindition of “How I Met My Husband”, which quickly led to other topics like: manifestation, healing from past relationships, spirituality and more. A half hour into the conversation, she sat back and looked at me for a moment, genuflecting, ’I don’t meet many people like you –you’re different. You know who you are. Your self-trust and self-knowing guides all your decisions and choices. I don’t have that sense of myself, and many other people I know don’t, either. We all want it - this makes you unique.’ The unexpected praise went straight to my heart and along with shyness & a few other emotions, I mostly felt truth. Sometimes friends can see us better than we can see our self… Basking in the afterglow, I thought of Leo & the Star.

Every new moon wipes the prior month’s slate clean and Sunday’s new moon at 2’42 Aquarius brings a breath of fresh air. On the heels of the sober, productive, inward plodding along season of Capricorn, the Sun enters Aquarius and the pace of life shifts as restless dissatisfaction with the way things are is the catalyst for the forward-thinking vision we now need. Aquarius is a mentally-oriented air sign, but it’s got associations with water (the water bearer) and just as water conducts electricity, this air sign is more intuitive & volatile than Gemini or Libra. Aquarians/Uranians are like lightning rods, attracting the lightning/disruption needed to bring us out of Capricorn stagnation.

Full Moon in Cancer: Tribal Gifts & Teacups

Filed Under Cancer, Illuminated Lunations | 1 Comment

Cancer is the sign traditionally associated with family, home and the past. And whimsy. Yes, whimsy. It’s our best kept secret, perhaps the staying alive secret to surviving the ups and downs of endless family demands to which we Crabs always find our self inextricably tethered and tied. When I am happiest, I am following it, because whimsy is good for the soul. So when I found myself wandering into a tea & coffee shop the other day, drawn in by the vast collection of coffee mugs and tea cups, this homely activity felt so nurturing, so good, I decided to allow myself to linger over tea cups …and tribal gifts.

Capricorn New Moon, The Magic of The Season

Filed Under Capricorn, Illuminated Lunations | 1 Comment

There’s an adage for picking out the perfect Christmas gift that says, If you don’t know what they want, give something that you yourself would like. This rule of thumb isn’t foolproof (there’s truly no accounting for taste, nor well-meaning relatives), but in a pinch, if you think about something you would have a hard time buying for yourself, yet you also know you would use - it practically, works. I enjoy giving, but this year I would simply like to receive. Receiving the present is the one present I have a hard time buying for myself- and it’s as much of a necessity as a nice tea mug, or new pair of slippers. The more gifts & presents I receive, the more there is to give – to reciprocate back. But to truly receive… More than presents, this year, it’s presence I want.

Saturn is a God of Necessity, and necessity calls during Capricorn New Moon when family gatherings often feel like obligation, financial outlays that require far more belt-tightening than jolly St. Nick is familiar with, clearly. Capricorn has its paradoxes. Just as Mountain Goat ambitiously climbs to great heights, persevering through rough spots and making painstaking sacrifices to arrive on time with presents, the glyph of Capricorn reveals that the goat (curiously) also has a mermaid tail. It appears that every two and four-legged above ground citizen needs a tail. For making sea dives into our soul. Read more

“Women might be able to fake orgasms, but men can fake whole relationships.” -Sharon Stone, Venus in Aquarius

“Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing. No one to blame.” -Erica Jong, Venus in Aquarius

“The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off.” -Gloria Steinem, Venus in Aquarius

“Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.” – Ellen DeGeneres, Venus in Aquarius

If you were born when Venus was in the constellation of Aquarius, the Water Bearer…

Venus in Aquarius’ perceptions about love, art, beauty, body, and relationship are far from mainstream. This is the Venus sign who wants to build a separate wing on the house for her partner. Outrageous! What’s outrageous to you is not the same, to me; we are shaped by the cultural constructs of the time and place in which we live, and for Venus in Aquarius no matter whether taking off your Burka in France or leaving a stifling marriage in Utah, outrage is sacred. For you, standing up for your right to be happy, free and loved in the way you want to be loved, is a radical act of self-love. When this Venus sign dares to truthfully turn the tables on social expectations, she will likely shock people. This certainly makes for interesting relationships. It also makes this Venus sign one of the most invigorating, unusual people to hang with! Read more
