Releasing Shame At Virgo Full Moon
Although I'm not a Virgo, last week I had an experience that Virgos want to avoid like plague - I felt dreadfully unprepared. I made an appearance on my friend, Alice's, app but I didn't know how to use the darn thing. So, despite really wanting to be on my desktop where I feel comfortable and have everything set according to my needs, I got on using my iPhone, because I'm new to app culture and that's what I thought I had to do. Although I don't know what they saw (a harried woman with lots...
Pisces New Moon Card Draw: ARIES-PISCES!
I love the myriad ways this deck can be used. In client sessions, healing circles, ritual and intention setting, for personal integration work, and, of course, one of my favorites: lunar cycles. I pulled the Boundaries card for the New Moon question: What does Spirit want @moonkissd readers to know about this Pisces New Moon cycle? And here is a brief excerpt from the guidebook: 28. Boundaries Do what it takes to feel safe and peaceful. One of the gifts of self-awareness is exercising your...
WHAT IS MY LIFE PURPOSE?
JUPITER-SUN CAZIMI: What's my PURPOSE? What am I here to do? And can you see that in my birth chart? At today's conjunction of Jupiter and Sun you may be asking the Big Questions, about what you're here for, and what it's all about. Given the week's odd Mars-Venus-Pluto dynamic of powerlessness/power, and feeling out of control of so many things, it's certainly gotten me thinking about my own sense of purpose. No one knows why we are here or what we are meant to be doing here (if they...
On Feeling Powerless
there are so many things to feel powerless around plastics war unnegotiable change death what's on offer at the market an unresponsive relationship when your healing hits you like a 2x4 extreme wealth extreme poverty so, so, much where's your power, then? where is it among so many realities you cannot affect (or do very little)? in the honest feeling of it in your warm body in your deep dark belly on your pelvic floor in the grief and fear- if that is what you need in the joys that call your...
Trust Life Again
Like you, my life as an artist began with paper and crayola crayons. Over the years it’s kind of converged, back there, to that innocent place again. Mainly because making art can be so intimidating that you never even try. In college, I became an art major not because of inherent talent or encouragement but because I was fascinated by the symbolism contained within the images of art (a precursor, certainly, to my love for astrology).Because I was curious as to whether I could make art, I took...
Your Identity Is Abundance
As long as you think you don’t have something, you won’t have it… This was the message Spirit shared with me this morning. I was in the middle of my reconnection practice when I asked Spirit to show me what it feels like to Root into my pelvic bowl, my Seat of Knowing, but I knew that behind that question was a sense of “What if I can’t do it…?” In knowing myself as a clear vessel for connection, one of the consistent issues I run into is feeling myself to be limited. Lacking… needing, wanting...
Venus Retrograde: Under the Canopy
Venus turns retrograde at 26'29' Capricorn for forty days, beginning on 12/19/21. Myth tells us her journey takes her into the underworld, where shadows and wounds are faced, relationships tested, self-worth issues addressed, illusions are stripped down to nothing, and ultimately a new integration occurs. It's not a comfortable process. It's one version of the story. I won't argue it. It's real enough. Yet there are other versions (one of which I will tell you about in a minute). But first......
This Triumphant Human Spirit
I want you to do something with me on this Dark of the Moon Eclipse. Remember that time you felt what you most wanted and needed was impossible for you? Remember that time when you were so discouraged, defeated and broken down that you thought you couldn’t continue…and perhaps, even, you didn’t want to go on in life? Remember when you thought you couldn’t survive THAT (grief, pain, loss, lack)? Now, come back into this moment. There you go. Here you are. You did survive. You, eventually, found...
Reconnect with Your Loving YESSSSSS….
I remember a plaque that hung in my childhood kitchen. It was a picture of a Goddess and it read: Bless this Mess. Indeed, things were a mess back then, and we needed Her blessing. The idea of blessing what’s unwanted, messy, has eternal relevance. Personally, I’ve experienced more physical pain this fall than I’d prefer (that’s my civilized Libra Rising talking; my Aries Moon says, it has sucked b*&^!), and the ONLY thing that has soothed my charged emotional experience, and offered...
A Healing Message for the Taurus Full Moon Eclipse
In this linked blog post called Getting to the Root of Guilt, I share my experience healing feelings of guilt whenever I: held a boundary, claimed space, and did what I wanted. In short, guilt for being ME! You can read about the process, but there was a beautiful Taurus Eclipse gem at the center: I reclaimed my self-trust. Trust. How fitting for a Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse! Going deep (Scorpio) into reclaiming self-trust and safety (Taurus). For me, this also fit since the full...
![This is my friend @[613649170:Alice Inoue] and I at the New Age Expo a few weeks ago; the first event like this we’d each attended, in years. Alice was the first friend I made when I moved to Oahu, she is an astrologer, and a writer, like me. Even though a few years passed before we began exploring our connection more deeply, thanks to the pandemic restrictions lifting we are feeling freer to do so. She is a total sweetheart and has quickly become one of my besties.
Our friendship took a little time to take root, but that in and of itself is a good reminder.
It reminds me of a quote by Audrey Hepburn: “People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.”
Friends are the best. I ❤️ you Alice!!!… and I ❤️ all of you I am honored to call “friend”.](https://www.moonkissd.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
