This is a special astrology report that serves a dual purpose: to celebrate December solstice as well as to shout out our powerful planetary alignments that we are about to move through as the wrap up of 2022. I said it once and I will say it again. We are in the midst of a sparking moment in our Universe to its higher harmonic potential. Did you happen to notice the 32 M-flares we had on December 14-16? That was a sign. 

Our solstice window is opened and all this glorious energy is doing its planetary and personal alignment thing.  This Solstice and Yearly transformation wrap up have a double power in that they represent the 'completion' of many cycles of work and healing for the planet. You have heard me talk about them all year. The solstice through January window brings us to an apex moment in our journey.  Enjoy and celebrate it!

 One of the most powerful parts of 2022 that I highlight in this installment is the strength that it taught us we had. Month by month, opportunity by opportunity, we faced the harder harmonics of the human energy spectrum and guess what? We found the love and we created a path through it all. This podcast celebrates that in ways that we were not allowed to even as recently as January 2022.  

A second powerful lesson was just how powerfully aligned the planets and our social worlds are. Did you happen to notice that a good many of the major alignments that we celebrated in the podcast brought with it steps to freedom, truth, and change? That is not a coincidence. Rather, it is a sign things are going very well. Tune in to hear a little bit about where solstices and Equinoxes have played an important role in this. (Shout out to Ireland as our lead example.) 

This instalment is a conversation about the uniqueness of this year, a commemoration of our journey through it, and suggestions on how to make the most out of the powerful transformative capacity of the current energy spectrum as we move through solstice.

This is a podcast about rekindling respect for the feminine energy flame that lives on this planet (as Earth) as well as in each and every one of us.  If you are a man or do not identify as woman, do not turn away. What I say here affects us all. The term 'feminine' can be a misnomer in that it does not just mean 'woman' as it has been conflated to in popular use. It also means esoteric, metaphysical, spiritual, emotions, believing in the sentience of Earth, and respecting plants.

 In the case of this podcast, I talk about the energy strand iteration of femininity, its value for world success, and I celebrate being at a turning point in its integration. This is a chat about rekindling respect for feminine energy with an honest look at what happened to get us to this place.

 Summary: What gets coded feminine is not just 'female' things. Rather, as I explain in this podcast, what we call 'masculine and feminine' is influenced by a form of social order and state-craft that we call the Patriarchy. Within this order, matters like advanced metaphysics, taking care of soul wounds, things like cultural education, anything related to the house, but also, entire groups of people like 'natives' who had Earth based beliefs were considered as less than. Women and those of us working in what has been called 'feminine energy' were the subjects of an outright attack, we did have our lifeways devalued, and our ability to care for the Earth was hurt. This had such a negative impact on our Earth and this Universe that we almost lost everything. 

Is this because Creator thinks that women are inferior? Absolutely not. Creator has a masculine and a feminine form (among many others) and they view one another as equal. They work together in dynamic co-operation, supporting all forms of the true Universal energy spectrum in one another. This was political. This was about power. This was and still is about spiritual control through social order and a bleeding of these interests into institutions through the bodies and actions of people. In this case, a lot of (but not exclusively) men for a very long time did and still do work to actively suppress us spiritually and politically. People who live in the woman role or feminine role in households and workplaces (and energy sphere) are also heavily burdened through the process of social reproduction. This is something we are working through as a society right now as society right now. This is part of the major imbalance in our social, economic, and political structures. Today, I work with it in energy form.

Is there any way to summarize this without bringing up words that are going to make people think I am an angry woman? Not really, and I know that means that a lot of people will not bother to listen. We ignore what we perceive may be hard to hear. But guess what? Despite these words we are trained to ignore, this is a message of hope and love and it is what some of us really need to hear.

 Topics covered: The story of Creation of our Universe and how we wound up with Mother and Father as dominant energy threads in our Universe. A short discussion on linguistics and the framing of language and thought into 'masculine and feminine' and how we, as people, work within that. A consideration of why and how the feminine energy strands and ways of life got targeted throughout history. To share the point, I work with ethnographic examples focusing on England (and the colonial empire whose ways of government were structured in line with this system) and North America.

Social media makes up part of the energy of our lives because it is through 'it' that we do many things including: making meaning, expressing opinions, gathering information, and as a vehicle for communication. Many people out there go to social media as a primary source of information gathering, to express their creative and personal opinions, and to find role models and inspiration. As we often hear remarked, social media often 'only shows the good things' or certain things. This is indeed often the case. It is not always because creators are vapid or one dimensional. Rather, it is because these systems are set up to support communication in this way. The systems have a veil.

As a person who once made their career through social media, I have experienced first-hand the limitations on what we are able to communicate, to whom, and how. This is not about the political things as you may be thinking. This is about topics like soul freedom and conversations about proactive ways to deal with depression.

In this podcast, I talk about the veil and how we can make ourselves aware of it to foster empowered social media usership.

Summary

Starting off with the excitement that was learning about FB for the first time, I talk about how novel and important social media information sharing has been in many of our lives.  Social media in a place that does not really exist but 'does', that has an impact on our everyday lives. It is a place we go to in order to speak our minds, find information, and meet people from all around the world.

This is a great thing.

What can be less great is that the social media scapes we engage with are changing in a way that we do not always know how to track or understand as users. One layer of it is content management. Another is through creation of categories and what happens when we get put into them algorithmically. Though we may continue on as users without recognizing things have changed, they have. We are seeing a more and more sanitized version of reality. It is important that people are aware of this. This has a major impact on what type of information we get circulated, how, and also, what it is that we ever get to see in the first place. Ever meet 'the wall' of energy when you put something a little different out there and wonder what it is? That is you feeling that technology, friend. It is indeed a wall of energy.

Knowledge is power. I believe in grounding in positive action.

We wrap up this podcast where it began. Social media is a part of life. Sense making is a part of life. Information gathering is a part of life. Identity making is a part of life. As we learn more and more about the changing capabilities and benefits and risks of participating in platforms, we are able to bring in practices to ensure we ARE receiving that enrichment that we go to creators and social media for.

Social media makes up part of the energy of our lives because it is through 'it' that we do many things including: making meaning, expressing opinions, gathering information, and as a vehicle for communication. As social media has developed, so too have the practices of information filtering and sorting. These have real world impact on the types of information we engage with while online, as well as what information even gets circulated. As things change, it is important we stay in the know about it.

This is a podcast where I talk a little bit about what veils we meet as we engage in social media in the contemporary moment. It is important to talk about because this is a place that is so central to our reality. Having been a user since 2006 and a heavy creator, I have seen and experienced a lot of changes that I talk about herein.

Summary 

Starting off with the excitement that was learning about FB for the first time, I talk about how novel and important social media information sharing has been in many of our lives.  Social media in a place that does not really eist but 'does', that has an impact on our everyday lives. It is a place we go to in order to speak our minds, find information, and meet people from all around the world.

We are seeing a more and more sanitized version of reality. It is important that people are aware of this. This has a major impact on what type of information we get circulated, how, and also, what happens when we step out as creators into new categories. Ever meet 'the wall' of energy when you put something a little different out there and wonder what it is? That is you feeling that technology, friend. It is indeed a wall of energy.

December 2022 is a month of transition, transformation, and knowing the power of metaphysics. While it may seem that the world is falling down around us, things in the Universe are indeed going well. Earth has entered into the solstice window, we are currently in the process of shifting out some serious negative energy that was weighing us all down, and we are at a point where the new and different is apparent. While it may be tempting to fall into hysterics and deep concern because of factors like what is becoming increasingly apparent through the Balenciaga campaign, it is important that these threads are being rendered visible AND that people are outraged. As I say in the report, this represents old energy that has to be ousted. We were going to hell in a hand basket at one point, yes. Now, we have definitely started to smash our way out of it. That was what 2022 was all about. 

Trust the energy and the path of the planets as the guide. Things are going very well from a cosmic perspective. We focus on this for the report.

December through March is a powerful moment to focus on building what is important to YOU into your life. We have entered a phase of human experience where we are no longer chained by these old weights. We are more free and in a different way, now. Though the flash bang of the weird being exposed is a powerful scene to behold, even more inspiring is what is happening inside, these months. This is our opportunity to redefine ourselves. To ask ourselves what type of humans we would like to be. This is exciting.

As we wrap up November, we find ourselves working through the remnants of Era of Sagittarius energy (late 1440-1620). We will be moving through Era of Capricorn in December. Tune in to hear the specifics of those time-frames and their impact on the human energy spectrum.

Key Dates Discussed

The Eras mentioned above

Late November: 28, 29, 30: Close approach and conjunction of Saturn and then Mars at its closest point to Earth that it will be for 2 years. 

December 1: Conjunction and close approach of Moon and Jupiter

December 3: Neptune goes direct in Pisces

December 5: Lunar occultation and close approach of moon and Uranus

December 6: Moon at Aphelion, Mercury goes into Capricorn

December 7: Full Moon (Gemini), Close approach and lunar occultation of Mars

December 8: Mars at Opposition

December 9: Venus enters Capricorn

December 11: Moon at apogee

December 12: Celebrating the grounding of galactic peace ceremony from 2018.

December 20: Jupiter enters Aries*******

December 21: Solstice as well as Mercury at Greatest east, sun in Capricorn

December 23: New Moon and at Perihelion

December 24: Conjunction of Moon and Venus, Mercury at Dichotomy, Moon and Mercury conjunction

December 25: Venus aphelion

December 26: Conjunction and close approach of moon and Saturn

December 29: Conjunction of Venus and Mercury, Conjunction of Moon and Jupiter, Mercury goes retrograde

As I say in the report, this is a month of new beginnings as well as big time wrap up. Make sure you plant your seeds.

In this post you will find the welcome video where I explain it all, the 30-day vibe raising challenge calendar, and a little summary of what we are doing here and why.

The 30-Day Vibe Up Challenge

The purpose of this 30 day challenge is to place a special focus on including vibration raising activities into your lifestyle for the next 30 days (and beyond).

This is great for: People who are looking for practical guidance on how to think about fitting vibration care into their lives, those who are ‘in a rut’ and would like to work with their vibration to pop out, someone who already has a high vibration and is seeking even more of a lift, those seeking ways to practically apply the IndiCrow method.

Head on over to my blog to watch this in video format: https://crow-medicine.com/2022/11/20/30-day-vibration-raising-challenge

This is your invitation to join me for a 30 day vibe raising challenge.

Inspired by fitness challenges, I have put together a 30-day vibe raising challenge. Officially kicking off on November 21, the concept behind this one is just what it sounds like. Getting the vibration up. Hosted over at my blog, this 30-day challenge will include a calendar a la fitness challenge, some thought-provoking vibe raising material, and some ideas from a pro at how to structure vibration raising to experience long-term success. We go gentle and slow with this one, knowing that gradual changes lead to big results.

Sound like something you are interested in? Excellent.

Many of us experienced a ‘rut’ in our lives. They can come about for a plethora of reasons ranging from we have been doing too much of the same thing for too long all the way to we have been in stressful situations that have taken their toll on us. They do not always come about because we messed up. If you are in a rut, it is important that you are kind to and forgive yourself. As I say in the podcast, having a sense of humour also helps.

A rut (aka a funk) can be understood as either a ‘pile up’ or a stagnancy of energy in our lives. It is common for a person to not even be aware one is happening until they are in the middle of it. If this is you, do not feel poorly. It happens to the best of us. Myself included.

Where we are at astrologically, it is the 'season' where a lot of people are feeling inspired to recognize and shift out of their ruts.

You may be in a rut (or have recently been) if you have passed through one of these stages.

‘Denial: (what do you mean? There is no funk or rut. Everything is great. I am putting my head in my hood and keeping it moving.

Resistance: oh no, there is something going on here and I think I may need to do something about it but I am so busy and having a hard time committing to it. This seems hard or out of reach.

Acceptance: Ok. I can do this. I am ready.

Once we get to that part, it

A lot of people who come here to this podcast are probably at the ready part. Click play to hear what I have to say about it.

Inviting you to Join Me in Getting Out of Your Rut or Funk

In the podcast, I give a little example of my own recent rut and how I got into it. As I was working on getting out of my fitness rut, I kept thinking. Wow. There are a lot of people out there in the audience who are feeling the same way that I was feeling about exercise when it comes to their vibration and energy body. One of the characteristics of a rut is that we do not know where to start to get out of one. As I say in the podcast, fitness videos saved me. I especially love when an instructor puts together a little program to follow in our training. A ‘3o day yoga’, ‘3o day weightlifting’ or a nutrition plan can be super inspiring.

In that inspiration, I am putting together a 30 day 'vibe up' challenge. The objective: raise your vibration. If you happen to be in a rut, this is a a powerful and grounded first step to getting out of it. (If you just want to vibe, it is great for that too.)

THE BIG INVITATION

On November 20thh, I am going to release the schedule to the vibe raising ‘challenge’. It is happening through my blog beginning November 21st. Similar to a fitness calendar or ‘workout challenge’ that you see online, It includes a structured suggested schedule that you can work with to ‘train’ your energy body and to raise your vibration.  I am announcing it today to give everyone the opportunity to know it is coming.

Materials

To participate in the challenge (which is *free*), participants will be recommended to purchase a copy of my book ‘Soul Compass’, which you can get instantly for as low as $18 usd (which puts it at an extremely affordable ‘buy in’ for just about every currency that visits this page).

Got your copy? Excellent. Head to my blog and make sure you are signed up for my emailing list: Subscribe to My Email List – Crow Medicine (crow-medicine.com)

Welcome back to Crow Medicine. In this instalment, we get into the fun travel stories that come with life as a psychopomp and caretaker of the planet. This is where it starts sounding like science fiction mixed with Indiana Jones.

Returning to that fateful day that I retired from University, I tell the story of going from life behind the books to life on the road. From France to BC *and back and forth again*, I went from site to site, country to country, meeting the other caretakers of the planet. Together, we worked to spark the sacred flame of human potential to its fullest and to heal the planet for the harmonic upgrade you always hear me talking about. It was very fun.  

Then came 2020. Year of transformation. Also the year I FINALLY reconnected with my husband. Also leading into the year *plus* I realized I would have to step down from my public presence to go into full planetary ninja focus.   

If you have ever wondered what this is all about, why souls need support, and how the vibration of the planet connects to our wellbeing. Tune into this episode. Through the telling of the story, you will hear it all.  

Soul Compass is getting a special announcement on Sunday, November 12. Come back to this space or come visit my blog which is home base https://www.crow-medicine.com.

November kicks off with a Saturn Close Approach and Conjunction. Who are we kidding? Right now through November 8th, the major players are the solar eclipse in Scorpio (October 25) to the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus (November 8) that just so happens to coincide with a close approach and lunar occultation of Uranus as well as a Mercury at superior solar conjunction. Not to mention, the very next day Uranus is at opposition. This sets the stage for a harmonization + integration party. Paired with November 9, for the first part of this month we are walking ourselves toward (and through) what will set the tone of major transformation.

Key Dates Discussed:

The Eclipse series of October 25 - November 8th gets its own section that features Eris, Vesta, and Fornax.

November 1: Conjunction + Close approach Saturn

November 4: Close approach + conjunction Jupiter

November 8: Total lunar eclipse in Scorpio, Close approach of moon and Uranus and lunar occultation of Uranus, Mercury superior solar conjunction

November 9: Uranus at Opposition

November 11: Close approach + conjunction of Moon and Mars

November 16: Venus enters Sag

November 19: Mercury at Aphelion

November 22: Sun enters Sag

November 23: Jupiter goes direct (in Pisces), New Noon in Sag

November 25: Moon at Perihelion and perigree

November 28: Conjunction of Moon and Saturn

November 29: Close approach of Moon and Saturn

November 30: ****Mars is closest to the Earth that it will be for two years.**** Mars is very bright and highly influential because of this

As I say in the report, if you have been noticing things feeling kind of standstillish, you are not alone. Great news is that what we walk away from November with is going to be significantly different than how we began it. Finding the space of peace in self-connection and wellness is a valuable way to find your best path through it.

I will be here, telling stories and offering insight through it.

I also am playing around with positive self-connection through my blog, 'Crow Medicine' and my baby youtube channel that is the same name as this podcast, Crow Medicine: Spirituality for the 21st Century.
