Variety is the spice of life, and we’re starving for some movement and/or change under the social Gemini New Moon on Monday morning, June 3. Something deep is stirring within – and it may be a bit challenging to sit quietly – to understand what all this stuffy uncomfortableness is all about. Have you felt […]

May 24th, 2019: Step Back From What You Want

Open and detached communication can unfold smoothly with the Moon/Mercury trine. Step back from the choices and you’ll discover some new and interesting angles. Perhaps there are more choices than you realized. Excellent for communicating unconventional ideas or connecting with odd, inspirational people.
However, Moon/Venus suggests some discord between this detachment versus solid, predictable manifestations of what you want. The tension between materialism/possessiveness versus freedom can trigger insecurities and corresponding intensified desires.
So the head is on track, but the heart will experience some bumps. When in doubt, talk it out. If someone tells you they need more space, try not to react by tightening your grip. Take a deep breath and view the available options with clear eyes.
May 20th, 2019: What If

Moon enters Capricorn and VOC ends (May 21st 3:56 am EDT)
The Moon’s square to Neptune can expand unrealistic hopes while the conjunction with Jupiter (ruler of Sag) suggests an enhanced moment of faith and optimism. This energy will amplify a wish or distant possibility, and it can feel quite euphoric.
There’s nothing wrong with aiming high – this can be moment to ponder “what if” with a smile. As the Moon goes VOC, the rest of the day will not be great for starting something new or nailing down concrete plans. A reality check is coming on the 21st (with the Moon’s Capricorn ingress) but in the meantime it can be nice to just let your dreams carry you away.
May 19th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith and Mother
Moon in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)
Moon in Sagittarius trine Chiron in Aries (4 deg)
Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Ceres Rx (9 deg)
The Moon’s square to BML hi-lights tension between the urge to enthusiastically move forward versus darker, quieter currents of taboo energy. The Moon and Lilith are both female archetypes, but the familiar Moon is mother/comfort and Lilith is the outcast or unacceptable woman. In Pisces, an uncomfortable issue (involving women’s sexuality) seeps into the day. It can undermine optimism and growth if you become lost in it, but it cannot be ignored.
The Moon’s trine to Chiron and conjunction with Ceres (mother’s nurturing) offer a solution- deal with the pain (Chiron) by tapping into your courage and acceptance of vulnerability/fear. You can do this with hope. Ceres in Sag is about nurturing future growth and faith – the Great Mother opens her arms and encourages exploration. You’re not glossing over the dark stuff, but you don’t have to drown in it, either.
There’s something to look forward to on the horizon.

ReBuilding Our Value
Where we’ve been investing our energy will begin to slow down considerably, or possibly come to a complete pause under the next four-and-a-half months as Taskmaster Saturn stations retrograde on Monday April 29. As insecurities, responsibilities and fears start to rise beneath the big boss Saturn, we can either renegotiate, restructure, and rebuild… or re-experience […]
