Aries New Moon: Getting Fired Up!

Before Michael Beckwith became a minister and founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, he was a young man with a lot of potential who’d lost his way. The turning point came when he got caught dealing marijuana and was thrown in jail. Beckwith vowed to devote his life to God

Libra Full Moon: What’s Closest to You

A key feng shui maxim is: Whatever is in closest proximity to you has the most impact on you. In other words, what’s happening within your living or work space is a reflection of where you’re at in your life. This includes not only the structure and what’s in it,

Pisces New Moon: Sadness and Wonder

In the thought-provoking new film Nomadland, someone refers to people like Fern, the character played by Frances McDormand, as homeless. “Not homeless,” she counters, “just houseless. It’s not the same thing.” Ousted from her long-time home after the company town she lived in went belly-up, the scrappy widow has taken

Virgo Full Moon: Get Down with the Material World

Recently I decided to clean all my light fixtures. In some cases, this had not been done in ten years. It’s amazing how much filth can accumulate in that length of time – and it definitely hadn’t been doing my feng shui any favors! The taking-down-and-cleaning part was easy, but

Aquarius New Moon: Renewed Hope

In early Feb. 1962, Hindu astrologers braced for a three-day period during which the earth would be “bathed in the blood of thousands of kings.” At the same time in Britain, others were also awaiting disaster, believing the earth’s poles would flip and 75 percent of the world’s population would

Leo Full Moon: Get Creative!

I’ve been loving all the hilarious Bernie memes flooding Facebook since the Inauguration. A bundled-up Bernie on the Dating Game, perched on the rings of Saturn, hanging with Crosby, Stills & Nash. It was an unexpectedly creative, slightly giddy reaction to our renewed hope for a better world. Over the

Capricorn New Moon: Rise to the Challenge

Is it possible to transcend difficult transits? In his article in the April/May 2019 issue of The Mountain Astrologer, “A Mystic Looks at Astrology,” Ray Grasse posed that question to occultist Shelly Trimmer. Trimmer replied with an anecdote about his teacher, Paramahansa Yogananda, renowned yogi and founder of Self Realization

Cancer Full Moon: All in the Family

At the holiday season, we all crave the comfort of family around us – as difficult as that may be this year while the pandemic rages on. But some people naturally create family all year ’round. Christie Purviance, for example, is known for treating her patients like loved ones. The

Sagittarius New Moon Total Eclipse: Changing Direction

What would you do if you found a live koala nestled in the branches of your Christmas tree? When she first spotted the adorable cub, Amanda McCormick of southern Australia couldn’t believe her eyes. But the special visitor quickly brought a big smile to McCormick’s face. And luckily for us,

Gemini Full Moon Eclipse: Cultivating Curiosity

Last night my cousins and I held our Thanksgiving gathering over Zoom. The Nevada City contingent kept cutting in and out, but we made the best of it, thankful to see one another again after an entire year. For so many of us, the Internet has become a lifeline. Yet

Scorpio New Moon: Changing Times

Come gather ’round, people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin’, then you better start swimmin’ Or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times they

Taurus Full Moon: Ancestral Magic

In her wonderful book, Jambalayah, Yeye Luisah Teish tells of a strange event that happened near the end of 1982. She was alone, bedridden with a severe upper respiratory disorder. Between the congestion, high fever and sore muscles, she was on death’s door and could not muster the energy to

Libra New Moon: Judge Not

Years ago, a prominent spiritual leader shared an intriguing incident that impacted her life.  In the May 2020 issue of Science of Mind, Rev. David Ault recalled her story of attending her first high-profile political fundraiser. She said she suspected she’d been invited because she’d been strongly critical of certain

Aries Full Moon: Stoking the Fire

Some stars burn more brightly than others; Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of them. She mightily stoked the fires of justice, leaving a legacy we’d all do well to emulate. In the wake of her recent passing, Marianne Williamson wrote: “As sorry as I am that she’s gone, for all

Virgo New Moon: Figuring it Out

We are living through extremely chaotic times. As Thomas Paine said just prior to the American Revolution – another very volatile period – “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Yet great challenges can open the door to positive change, if only we can summon the courage to do
