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...
Getting to the Root of Guilt with EFT (emotional freedom techniques)
In my relationship, I felt a noticeable pang of guilt almost every time I took a step towards freedom, for being selfish, claiming space, taking boundaries, exercising my independence. And I was so tired of feeling it. We are used to thinking of guilt, at least here in America, as having done something wrong, ie, we feel guilty about a wrongdoing. But I’ve learned that guilt is something entirely different. In the Intuitive Energy Divination deck, the Guilt card reads: Guilt is an argument...
Clearing Energy & Emotions With Scorpio New Moon
When you live in Hawaii, people come visit. Inevitably, they leave their stuff behind: a hairdryer, slippers, towels, food…stuff you don’t want, but are now left to deal with. They also leave their energy. When the mailman delivered a passport for a departed guest (they thought they’d lost it; it ended up being buried in their bedroom), and John said: “ugh, I really don’t want to deal with this,” I suggested he run back up to the postman and tell him to return to sender. Hightailing it up the...
