This is a Catrina doll. In Mexico, Catrina is associated with the Day of the Dead. I believe she is mine, and everyone’s, wounded inner child. See: …those huge wide eyes? Eyes that saw what you weren’t permitted to see. …her stitched up mouth? All you weren’t allowed to say. …that upside down nose? That […]
The post Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse: Meet Catrina appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
This written conversation arose directly out of a session with my Intuitive Energy Divination Deck. I hadn’t been feeling well for a couple of days and I pulled some cards, asking Spirit to bring me the awareness I need to acknowledge and clear the energy. I thought this would be a good example to share […]
The post Message from Spirit: On the Planet Right Now appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
This past weekend, I dressed in my fancy dress, fancy slippahs (local-speak for what you likely think of as flip-flops) to attend a fancy gala, the Komen Pink Ball, a benefit for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer research. As I listened to one of the honorary survivors tell her story, I felt my heart expand. […]
The post Why My Relationship to Astrology Had to Change appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
I remember when I was going through the wringer with my energy sensitivity changes; there was so much learning, and I was feeling triggered all the time from all I was feeling without yet fully understanding what I had the power to do about it. I was energetically, psychically, overwhelmed, utterly and totally. And my […]
The post Taurus Eclipse: Eat, Sleep, Repeat appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
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 […]
The post Nourish Your Adrenals With Aries appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
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 […]
The post Why Can’t I Hear My Spirit Guides? appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
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 […]
The post Chiron, The Wounded Healer Archetype appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
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 […]
The post ARIES New Moon Prayer appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
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 […]
The post April’s Odd Astrology appeared first on Jessica Shepherd.
(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 […]
