Implementing Change: Episode 26 - Astrological Events of Feb 15 - 22 2021  

This week we are experiencing part one of a three part story as Uranus squares Saturn. Resistance to and from outdated societal structures is an ongoing theme, as we attempt to make changes to the world we live in. Trying to make sense of things through clear thought or communication will be challenging this week while Mercury comes to a halt in the sky, highlighting confusion about our place in society. It will be worthwhile to focus on self-love, developing trust in the beauty of our own unique contributions. We can embrace what makes us different as the gift we offer in service to the collective. Individual voices will join together and be raised mid-week, speaking out against injustice. If resistance is met as unexpected changes arise, we are encouraged to stay flexible. Things will be brought to the surface this week. Consider what arises as an opportunity to heal the deep internal wounds that prevent us from bringing our own bright light to the groups we participate in.

Reviewing Belief Systems: Episode 25 - Astrological Events of Feb 8 - 15 2021

The past month has been an incubator for powerful conversations brought to the fore from the rollercoaster of 2020. This week offers us opportunities to clarify our minds around these topics. Some perspectives are up for review as we discover where we have been too inflexible in our thinking. Deep internal shifts around ideology and belief systems will be taking place. With the balsamic phase of the Moon, we can distill what we want to carry forward and release the rigid behaviors that have been blocking our progress. Mercury is still retrograde, allowing us time to reconsider our opinions. Bear witness to conversations taking place on a greater scale and within your own mind. Is there a place where you are being encouraged to embrace broader perspectives by the communities you participate in? There will be moments of illumination as our limiting thought patterns are revealed. After a bit of realignment, optimism and exuberance come shining through! We are cautioned against going overboard in excitement to dismantle the old while building the new. Maintaining mental and emotional balance will ensure that we are fully able to benefit from clarity of vision Aquarius has on offer.

Reconfiguring Relationships: Episode 24 - Astrological Events of Feb 1 - 8 2021

This week brings us into deep introspection and reflection around Venusian issues: self-love, relationships, inner balance, and our investments. We are offered opportunities to improve our communication and find new ways of partnering. There’s plenty up for review. It’s a chance to take a long hard look at some of our more intense emotions. Where are embedded thought patterns and protective behaviors preventing us from authenticity and intimacy? After a tough but fruitful conversation with ourselves, we can revamp the ways we think of ourselves and the way we work with others. The long distance Aquarian perspective (courtesy of a five planet stellium) provides a touch of emotional distance to help us regain a sense of clarity after some miscommunication. We are called to reforge our relationships, allowing for greater participation in community, despite our seeming isolation.

Focusing on Human Family: Episode 23 - Astrological Events of Jan 24 - 30 2021

We have two big events in the sky week: a Full Moon in Leo and Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius.  The spotlight centers on the part we play as individuals within the society, community and our friendships. Unconscious awareness, beliefs and dreams will be making their way to the surface in our relationships. This includes our participation in group dynamics through the digital medium of the internet which, for many of us these days, serves as our primary means of communication. Disagreements and misinterpretation may surface. If things take an unexpected or disruptive turn, be open to the opportunity for clarification. Dig deep and own your limitations and fears - with the nature of a full moon our tendency may be to project. This week we are offered the capacity to rise above chaotic emotional response with a greater understanding of how we give and receive love. We can release subconscious patterns of defensiveness and restrictive self-preservation to embrace something greater and deeper, creating a sounder level of trust and belonging within our families of choice. Recognize what is truly worth fighting for and recalibrate your perceptions. Allow yourself to fearlessly lean into the higher octave of love.

Unexpected Events: Episode 22 - Astrological Events of Jan 17 - 23 2021

Much of the activity in the sky this week focuses on the planet Uranus.  Known for its surprising and disruptive nature, Uranus ushers in unexpected events. There is strong potential for explosive reactivity and volatility. Our nervous systems may be hyper-stimulated. The energy will feel electrical and enervating, so much so that we should be mindful of guarding our physical and emotional bodies from excess stimulation. There is the possibility of “getting carried away”. We are encouraged to somaticize emotions and allow our feelings to move through our bodies, as Uranian events that seem beyond our control unfold. Watch for impatience, anxiety, restlessness and fight or flight feelings. We can liberate excess mental energy by physically channeling it into tangible projects and creativity. On the precipice of a huge historic turning point, the changes we can make in our own lives will add to a sense of groundedness and security within the greater whole. As we hold space with our hopes for the future, staying present in the moment is key.

Seeking Stability Within: Episode 21 - Astrological Events of Jan 10 - 16 2021  

Rough and tumble, the week is a giant mixed bag as we continue to bridge the past and the future. In all ways imaginable we need surge protection for our psyches this week. We are prompted to find security and nourishment with those around us and in our immediate environment as shock waves continue to reverberate from the world stage. With the sky so full of disruptive energies, cultivating practices that leave us grounded yet flexible will help us hold steady as we experience more tumultuous change on a collective level.  The New Moon in Capricorn mid-week provides us with the opportunity to set intentions and firmly root them into our lives. We can fortify these intentions by fully embracing all we have endured over the past year, in recognition of our own resiliency. Acknowledging our own strength and seeking ways to embody stabilization will assist us in remaining tenaciously rooted while we weather the winds of change.

Dynamic Movement Toward Our True Values: Episode 20 - Astrological Events of Jan 3 - 9 2021

The week begins with an opportunity to make progress with detailed planning - as a seed moment for the coming year.  With three personal planets switching signs this week, the changing energies will be palpable.  These transitions may not feel entirely gentle as we shift to a heightened focus on security and stability.  Similar to landing in a plane after cruising at high speeds, we are called to adjust to a slower, more steady pace.  We are offered practicality in pursuit of goals, and can utilize tenacity and perseverance in creating new paths toward what we truly value.  This week is a time of investment in our future selves, bringing our dreams down to earth and responsibly taking the steps needed to bring our larger visions into reality.

Cautious Strategic Planning: Episode 19 - Astrological Events of Dec 27 2020 - Jan 2 2021

The sky is relatively calm this week. Our primary focus will be illuminated by the Full Moon in Cancer.  This full moon is a great chance for emotional release and self-nurturing, providing a balm for the pain of the last year and an assist in letting go.  We are offered a preview of how we will be required to shift and pivot with flexibility in the coming year.  Take note and incorporate these insights into your intentions for the immediate and long term future.  This is a week of gentle release and subtle preparation.

The transition into 2021 is the perfect time to create resolutions and actually have them stick.  Changes begun now will require continual commitment, but this year, more than other years, we understand that all things worth doing take time.

With three planets switching signs last week and two this week, changes abound. Some of the same old stories will be springing up again, but now they’re playing out in a different atmosphere. One that is primed for change. It is a time of transition. Our thinking may become more serious and practical as we turn to a more forward focused and strategic mindset as we consider reformatting our long term plans. The sky is offering us a great opportunity for enduring change. We can seize what’s on offer by finally and honestly releasing those things that are congesting our environment and mindscape. Old habits and thought patterns can truly be banished to the past. Midweek, through an eruption of emotion, our attention may be drawn to something that needs letting go. Watch responses and reactions for cues. On the Winter Solstice, we experience the darkest day of the Northern Hemisphere - after this the light begins to grow as the days will lengthen. At this time of new beginnings we can take a beat to rest while we adjust and recalibrate our internal structures. With so much shifting energetically, it may take a moment for us to regain our bearings, but commitments made to a more promising future can be fruitfully seeded now.  It’s the perfect time to clear space for the new and set intentions for the coming years.

Toward a Paradigm Shift: Episode 17 - Astrological Events of December 12 - 19 2020

It’s a pivotal time of planting seeds for new beginnings, short-term and long-term.  We are offered an opportunity for release on many levels.  The focus of this energy is on thought, communications, perceptions.  In all honesty, what old beliefs and behaviors need to be cleared away to make space for the new?  If something seems to be crumbling, some foundation has shifted, take note. Our attention has been drawn to situations and systems that are no longer working and need to be reformatted or changed to sustain us for the future.  Eclipses are times of revelation and exposure.  Pay attention to what new information comes to light - it will be a helpful aid in determining how we want to move forward.
