We’re entering a portal of manifestation at the upcoming Scorpio Full Moon (Wed. May 10, 2:42 p.m. PDT). Never was there a more important time to conjure the life you truly want, and the means by which to create it.…
Libra Full Moon: Think Pink
Recently I yelled at someone over the phone. I thought the early a.m. call might be from a New York client, so I picked it up. Without my morning tea and altar-time to fortify myself, the telemarketer had caught me off guard – and boy, did he get an earful!…
Virgo Full Moon: Healing Our Waters
Water = feelings. Our rivers and oceans reflect our collective emotional state. Most of us were taught to stuff our feelings and tough things out, but that just leads to physical and emotional toxicity.…
Leo Full Moon: There’s Always Hope
Raju was eating plastic bags on the streets to keep his tummy full. Lakhi got abscesses on her feet while trudging endlessly on tar roads in hot temperatures. Suraj was a prisoner at a temple, restrained by spiked chains in a dark, dank room with little food and water.…
Cancer Full Moon: Fall on Your Butt, Not Your Face
Known as the “snow guardian,” billy barr has lived alone for over 40 years in a remote cabin in one of the coldest regions of the U.S. The lone resident of Gothic, Colorado, a ghost town since the 1920s, barr (who prefers the lower case spelling) spends his days reading, sipping tea, watching Bollywood films – and, in the winter, checking snow levels twice a day.…
Gemini Full Moon: A Blast From the Past
The annual Geminid meteor shower is nearly upon us, and fireballs are already flying as early-arriving meteoroids from the constellation of Gemini hit the Earth’s atmosphere. This year, the cosmic show peaks at the Gemini Full Moon (Tues.…
Taurus Full Moon: Hidden Treasure
I was shocked when astrologer Barry Goddard blogged just before the election that in his opinion, Trump would win. Yet he went on to say that a Trump presidency might not be as bad as anticipated.…
Aries Full Moon: Reclaiming the P Word
When Donald Trump’s salacious remarks in a 2005 interview recently hit the airwaves, our culture got a wake-up call. Sensitive folks recoiled in disgust as the presidential hopeful gleefully confided that his wealth and power give him the ability to do anything he wants to women, including “grab them by the pu**y.”…
Pisces Full Moon: Feed Your Demons
In the frigid Arctic lands, survival depends on the bounty of the sea. Inuit hunters worship a capricious sea goddess they call Sedna. Also known as “Big Bad Woman,” this goddess sometimes favors them with fish to eat and other times withholds it.…
Aquarius Full Moon: Shared Victory
“I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps,” declared 19-year-old Simone Biles last week, shortly after winning gold in the women’s all-around finals. “I’m the first Simone Biles.” The record-breaking gymnast wasn’t bragging; she was merely stating the obvious – and thereby countering all the sexist commentary that’s been rattling around the Olympics.…
Capricorn Full Moon: Dance it Out!
After Thursday’s tragic incident in Nice, it would be easy to fall into despair – yet again – over the state of the world. Instead of hand-wringing over what I cannot control, however, I’ve decided to say prayers for the victims and try to enjoy my summer anyway.…
Sagittarius Full Moon: Ring the Bell
The birds they sang
at the break of day
‘Start again’
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.…
Sagittarius Full Moon: Up, Up and Away!
One man saw a seemingly insurmountable problem, and took creative action to solve it. And soon, 80 imperiled Asian rhinos will begin winging their way across the Indian Ocean to the safety of Australia.…
Scorpio Full Moon: The Shaman’s Path
It all started with a bee-sting – actually, two in one week! The bees were clearly trying to get Mikalia Ulmer’s attention. Terror was the 11-year-old’s initial response. But once she learned how bee populations are dying from colony collapse disorder, Mikalia got the point.…
Full Moon Eclipse: Super Bloom!
Did you feel the Sun burst into Aries on Saturday night at the Spring Equinox? It was like a torrent of energy had been let loose – Spring has definitely sprung!…
