    New Moon in Scorpio: Constantly Becoming

    Today, the moon is new in Scorpio, offering an invitation to get intentional about our work of becoming. We’re always evolving, always transforming. The cells of our bodies are constantly dying and regenerating. We are constantly rebirthing. In the world outside of our bodies, we can choose to partner with our own transformation, usher in necessary change, be the doulas of our own rebirths. I offer my Scorpio spread to you today, recycled from the full moon six months ago, wi

    Samhain: a Lineage of Spirit

    All Hallows Eve, Samhain, All Saints Day, Day of the Dead, Halloween. Today has many different names in many different traditions, but they all have something essential in common. Today, we honor the cycle. Today, we embrace the dark. Today, we celebrate the dead. I revere today as Samhain (pronounced sow-in), the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the year, the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest. Falling halfway between the fall equinox and the winter sols

    New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer: Cracking the Shell

    This Cancer new moon teaches us about security and vulnerability. It teaches us about holding and withholding, sharing and protecting. Here, we learn about the cosmic crab that carries its house on its back. We learn about the shell that keeps us safe, impenetrable, hidden. We learn about the soft, emotional insides beneath that shell and all the truths, needs, and wounds that we guard so fiercely there. This partial solar eclipse is going to crack that shell, friends. It’s g

    The Star: Hope Hurts

    After The Tower Falls: What Next? The Star is well known as a card of hope, calm, and healing after emotional turmoil. I have a special relationship to it as the card of Aquarius (my sun sign) and as corresponding to my favorite number, 17 (which is also my date of birth). The Star has a relationship to my personality card, The Chariot, through the number 7, and my shadow card, The Tower, as the card following in the Major Arcana. But The Star is, curiously, not one that ofte

    Full Moon in Sagittarius: Harmonizing the Duality

    This full moon, we perform alchemy on ourselves. We blend our dichotomous parts to achieve higher truths, synthesize our polarities to enact deep healing, and free ourselves from limiting mindsets that make us doubt our expansive possibilities. With the sun in Gemini, this Sagittarius moon is heavily about the mind. It’s about our ways of thinking and our search for knowing. Sagittarius and Gemini oppose each other on the wheel of the zodiac, but they also complement each oth

    Dealing with the Devil: an Interpretation & Spread

    The body is wise. It often knows things before our conscious minds do. It picks up on nonverbal signals, on body language, on scents and pheromones. It alerts us when something’s not right or when danger is near. The body houses our instinct and also our intuition. And sometimes, when we have deep shit bubbling up in us, rising from the unconscious on its way to the conscious, our mood is effected, our sleep interrupted, our appetite off, our wellness suffers. The body lets u
