Libra, the first sign of the fall quadrant works with the polarities of relationship; yin/yang, night/day, me/you. It is her desire to create and maintain the balance inherent on the earth at this time of year. She seeks herself through what she learns from the polarities of partnerships, friendships, parents and children.

As the earth held her moment of perfect balance between night & day, a tiny band of brothers circled a fire to celebrate. We stood as witnesses, called as our ancestors had been called to celebrate ‘The Queen,’ to partake and believe in her mysteries. In this last breath before tidal waves of change create [...]

The regeneration of this new cycle asks that every day hold baby steps of awakening. It begs the self of personality to grow into the Self of soul.

Virgo expresses the opposite of Leo’s desire to command, she serves. Like the Virgin, Virgo is receptive to the force of life, not forcing herself on it. For all their quiet demeanor, Virgo’s have rich inner material, she is the harvest after all, and Virgo energy works diligently to refine and express her harvest.

Virgo’s demand to clean out, and complete daily tasks is shouting loud & clear come September. The message of the ‘stars’ is to get ship-shape in every way possible: do baby steps toward new habits, 10 minutes of morning meditation instead of coffee. Become more responsible for health, do a short cleanse. Care for the [...]

We are in the fires of change. If you do not know it yet, you will. Make no mistake, this time of planetary metamorphosis will transform us all …unless you are a mushroom. Sometimes we can see changes creeping in on little fog-feet silently, softly approaching. More often, it’s a searing gust, a wild flame, [...]
