Nourish Your Adrenals With Aries
Right now, Nature is quickly growing, assertively pushing boundaries. You likely feel momentum all around you, calling you forward. As such, if you don’t have energy, you will notice it. Lethargy, sleepiness, joylessness and disinterest in doing anything are key signs your adrenals are fatigued. Forward-looking Aries holds bodily dominion over your adrenals, which regulates how you respond to stress. This astrological first sign rules all things stressful, and fast-moving, in life, so if you...
Why Can’t I Hear My Spirit Guides?
I admit, it kind of bums me out when I hear others exclaim, “I’m so grateful for my Guides!” When I honestly inquire into the question, I hear: Everyone connects differently, and while we may all have guiding spirits that accompany us through our human journey, not all of us will be introduced to, talk with our Guides, and be on a first name basis. There is such glamour surrounding getting in touch with Spirit. I believe there is far too much emphasis placed on the extraordinary (and guess...
Chiron, The Wounded Healer Archetype
Throughout my life, I’ve faced many moments where I exhausted my resources and appeared to reach a dead end, where nothing more can be done. I reach the limits of my awareness; I have a blind spot. My search for clarity yields a half-wisdom that doesn’t quite emerge, not fully. The solution is out of reach. I feel utterly defeated. This is the path of every Healer. But, I digress. We will get to this in a moment. This type of experience used to happen quite a bit related to my health, with...
ARIES New Moon Prayer
instead of confidence I want natural-ness the easy feeling of being myself, in myself comfort in my own body and skin doesn't arise from pushing into areas that cause me stress I seek a different kind of experience just as water, following her own riverbed, doesn't need to force, push or struggle she only needs to love the feel of the rocks sand sky and to rejoice in her own Abundant flow -Jessica Shepherd, author of Follow the Moonlit Path
April’s Odd Astrology
It started out with a weird interaction at an award show; Will Smith gives Chris Rock a punch in the face for an inappropriate comment. And Astrologers everywhere ask: Was it the astrology of Will Smith, or is it the astrology of the moment? Both. The start of April is an odd blend of two very different astrological signatures. Let's embrace and LOVE our differences this week... as Mars and Saturn prepare to conjoin at 23 Aquarius (4/4) under an Aries New Moon (3/31). It may not be the time to...
Invite and Allow
(please enjoy this repost - from my archives!) I notice the more I focus on resolving or fixing anything, the worse I feel. It’s the law of what you focus on grows: Whatever obstacle I think I’m experiencing only becomes more solid. It would seem that a problem can only remain a problem as long as I believe it is one. The moment I can relax, accept, invite and allow a solution to appear, it either resolves itself, or dissolves entirely. Is it magic? Smoke and mirrors? When a problem ceases to...
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...
