Hey y’all,

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling the grounded beginnings of Sunday’s new moon in Taurus.

Thanks for bearing with my intermittent access to internet as I travel in Central America on a nature-schooling voyage with my daughter. It’s been a transformative and deeply eye-opening journey along with various compositions of family, where we’ve had the chance to connect deeply, gain new perspectives, and learn from a plethora of more-than-human friends (sloths, toucans, crabs, dolphins, jellyfish, monkeys, and even some incredible bioluminescent plankton in last night’s dark seas of the new moon!)

How are you feeling on this cross-quarter week between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice?

Here is a somatic practice for the energies showing up in the Wheel of the Year this fire-heavy week: The fire festival of Beltane/Mayday in the Pagan/Celtic world, Venus entering fire-sign Aries, and the seasonal shift from Earth/Wood to Fire in the Indigenous Medicine Wheel and Taoist Wuxing cycle.

Through simple breathwork, gentle movements, and moments of stillness, we’ll explore how the shadow of mental addiction and thought-loops, represented by Human Design’s Gate 24- can transform into the gift of embodied invention.This is a grounding yet activating practice designed to help you reconnect to your body’s wisdom, awaken creative fire, and pause long enough to truly listen to your soul’s direction.

Also: You should have received an email with a link to your Taurus Season PDF Workbook- here it is again in case it got lost in the fray:

In this episode of Cycles of Time, Alison Dale explores the astrological influences and personal reflections surrounding Beltane, a significant fire festival in the Pagan Wheel of the Year.

She discusses the powerful astrological alignments of the week, including the Venus-Saturn conjunction and the Mars-Pluto T-square, and how these energies manifest in personal relationships and growth. The conversation delves into the themes of sacred union, creativity, and the transition from the East to the South in the Medicine Wheel, emphasizing the importance of embodiment and authenticity.

Additionally, Alison highlights the significance of the sun's transit through Gate 24 (the Gate of Rationalization) in the Human Design Wheel this week, focusing on the journey from addiction to invention, and concludes with insights on the upcoming Pluto retrograde and its implications for personal transformation.

The 6 Human Design Gates of Aries Season

In this episode, we wrap up the season of the Ram by exploring the energetic blueprint of Aries season through the lens of Human Design.

As the Sun moves through six powerful gates in the Human Design/ I'ChingMandala, it tells the story of new beginnings — from the wild innocence of Gate 25 to the fierce individuality of Gate 17.

With insights from the I Ching and the Gene Keys woven throughout, I trace the arc of spring’s awakening through the life cycle of a ram, and indicate how the energy lives in your body, your choices, and your path forward.

If you’ve been feeling the fire to begin again, this episode will help you align with the deeper rhythm behind that urge.
