Echoes of Completion: Episode 16: Astrological Events of December 6 - 12 2020

We are here in the midst of the eclipse portal, a time of shifting tides, between the lunar and solar eclipses.  Things may be falling away from our lives in rapid succession, clearing the path and creating space for new structures yet to come.  It is a time of reassessment that may come with rewards or sudden changes.  Strategizing and planning for the future is highly supported this week.  We are encouraged to take a long view and shift to a broader perspective looking forward.  Hope is being reborn as we ready ourselves to thankfully put 2020 in the rearview mirror.  What things would you like to release as so many cycles come to a close?  What needs to be disengaged to clear space for the new?  Courage and optimism are available to aid us in the sometimes painful process of letting go.  The sky is brimming with opportunities for completion this week as we prepare to move forward and embrace a world of change.

Sudden Subtle Revelations: Episode 15: Astrological Events of November 29 - December 5 2020

The big news in the sky this week is a lunar eclipse early Monday morning combined with the energy of Neptune changing directions. This brings in a heightened sensitivity to emotions that could show up as brain foggy, emotional or escapist. Work with Neptune by listening to music, watching films, finding a creative outlet for the imagination. Meditation, prayer and mantra are a solid way to weather the unexpected revelations that come during eclipse season. Remember too that full moons are times of illumination.  Combined with the nature of the eclipse, this could reveal things that you were not able to see before.  Especially on an intuitive level.  What is brought to light may be useful in the weeks to come - wait for those revelations instead of making big decisions or taking immediate action. There’s plenty of information yet to be unveiled throughout the coming month.

Lunar eclipses are known as a time of great internal intensity, so we need to be mindful of the temptation to participate in dialogues that are not nurturing. Many of us may be fixed in our attitudes during this time, but there can be a lack of clarity in the expression of those ideas. Thankfully, we may find we are lacking sufficient energy to engage in unfruitful exchanges. Applying your mind to foreign ideas, new concepts, exploring other cultures, reaching out to adventure in new terrain - both literally and figuratively -  is going to brighten our outlook by the end of the week. Seeking beyond our own regular sources of influence and expanding our horizons will be highly beneficial, bringing an uplift and an optimistic boost for a warm and light hearted weekend.

Adjusting Our Perspectives:  Episode 14 - Astrological Events of November 22 - 28 2020

It’s Sagittarius Season!  Our regularly scheduled exuberance leading into Holiday Season has been pared back this year since Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is in a compromised state.  What we might be feeling instead is a bit of dreaminess or fogginess.  The best way to work with this energy is through imaginary exploration.  It’s a great time to ease down on things that involve critical analysis and ride the waves of the intuitive and ethereal.  We are better served picking up a paintbrush or diving into a novel, something that involves unleashing the creative imagination.  Is there something you want to study, make or create?  Some hope that you have for the future?  Think about what you might want to learn and experience to get there.  Allow yourself to dream big.

This week is also a good time to make note of behavior in relationships and how you're communicating with others.  There’s important information being reflected back to you.  This involves paying attention to what you say and how you’re voicing your beliefs.  It’s a perfect time for revelations to slip out.  You might surprise yourself and everyone else.  There are things being revealed about your own self worth and value in partnerships.  Keep in mind that your excitement to move forward and speak your truth might involve a bit of projection.  It’s time to listen with your heart.  Have you done the healing that you need to do or are you placing that responsibility on someone or something else?  Things may not be entirely clear this week.  Our “certain truths” may feel a bit malleable, so double check your sources and feelings.  If you encounter discomfort or discover some blockage, take this as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done.  Pull back and see if you can reassess these situations with a broader birdseye view.  Big picture perspectives are your friend this week.  A more visionary approach will support you in adjusting your values and mindset as we seek to recalibrate in these constantly shifting times.

Working with Neptune and Venus:

We are building up our vitality again.  With an infusion of energy, we begin to move forward and get our passion and motivation back.  Now we can take another shot at some of those things we haven’t had much energy to do.  It’s as if we can get back to ourselves and recognize ourselves again.  But it’s not the same old you.  Notice how you’ve changed.  You’ve recently transformed.  For all we've been through, we have leveled up from doing some of the deep internal work essential for transformation.   As we ascend through the gates of the underworld on our way back home, we reclaim the power and optimism we may have been unable to access during these past few months.  You'll be able to feel it in your body, the “body” of the people will express it too.

The call of the week is to bring a dose of reality to our optimism.  Thoughtful analysis will be surprisingly fruitful. There’s an overarching narrative of healing this week, so whatever challenges you encounter will serve to fortify your own personal growth.  By then end of the week there could be a nice feeling of closure as we assimilate our experiences and understand just how much the recent months have changed us.  Moods may fluctuate as we wade through our own personal microcosms, sorting through and making sense of the events of the year.  This is productive for our emotional and psychological growth.  While there is no getting away from the work in front of us, insightful connections encountered this week will leave us plenty of room for synthesis and recapitulation.  While you enjoy this resurgence of energy, take the time to comfort your heart - we’ve been through a lot. Raise your eyes to take note of all the beauty around you.

Ascent from the Underworld: Episode 12 - Astrological Events of November 8 - 14 2020

There’s a New Moon coming this week, but not until Saturday the 15th. This will give us plenty of time to process the events of the past week and make internal adjustments to the myriad of changes that are happening in the world.  The sky holds supportive aspects this week which will provide hope and optimism as we encounter some jarring realities and a bit of disillusionment.  We have not quite made it to the finish line.  Some of us need to defrost from the numbing we’ve created to survive the collective trauma we’ve been exposed to.  Rest if you need to.  It’s necessary for healing.  We are in a phase of recovery - building new strength in the midst of a transformative process.  A celestial valve release is opened this week and it may feel a bit destabilizing as some raw martial energy unfurls.   Slowly but surely we will begin to find our vitality and courage rejuvenated.  A poetic sense of resilience emerges as we reclaim our energy reserves, building opportunity for change and hope for a new normal.  Pathways to rebuild the structures of our lives are on offer with this coming New Moon; then we can finally move forward with clear eyes.  Take your time.

Working with Mars:

We are in the midst of a transformative process, and our emotional landscape is shifting rapidly. It will help to take the long view. Keep your eyes on the horizon as we ride a rollercoaster of uncertainty.  We are resilient, strong, and capable of growing beyond the past experiences.  We can begin to bring closure to old stories and shine our lanterns on a new path to the future, a different way of being.   Letting go of the past may bring grief, as we mourn the loss of our previous selves.  It’s an emotionally confusing time, so keep an extra eye on self care and guard your mental wellness.  Give yourself time for emotional release. Reach out to loved ones; care for those who might be feeling isolated or alone, including yourself.  Unplug and create new pathways to connect to spirit.  Find new ways to move forward with mindful focus on your emotional body and mental health.  Reversals and surprises are part of the terrain this week, so practice resilience and patience when delays come along.  This is not the time to be insistent or stuck on immediate results.  Progress will be slow.  Patience is key.  Believe in yourself and speak to yourself with encouragement and love as you begin to lift former self-imposed limitations.  Give yourself a chance to stretch beyond those old stories of how you used to be.

Working with the planets:

A sense of energetic vitality will be palpable this week as our focus lifts from internal depths to dialogue with others.  Our eyes will be drawn to value systems, the notions of fairness and justice, and the behaviour of other people in our lives and society.  Is it our job to call them out? Or will we attempt to keep the peace at any cost? While intimate relationships may sweeten, people may show up from your past; keep an eye out for projection.  What really did happen way back when?  What is yours and what is theirs might be hard to distinguish since we’re coming from such an emotion filled space.  It’s a good time to watch your head in every sense of the phrase as our initial impulses may not serve our best interests in the long run. Make your choices consciously.  Things get exciting and a bit nervy as we near the end of the week.  Plans may change, so expect the unexpected. Shocks and surprises abound; what has been hidden bubbles to the surface as realizations and revelations.  Hold steady and dig deep for your truest course to guide you.

Working with the planets:

Things begin to shift this week. Though not easy, this is a psychologically fertile time. Psychological assimilation of everything we have been through this year has left us feeling a little exhausted, but this week we begin to test, and rely on, our new strength. We have been challenged this year, we have grown, and we have endured. Growing pains have been our constant companion. The adjustments we’ve made to difficulties we’ve encountered can carry us a long way now, if we pay attention to the lessons.

As Mercury leads us back into the deep dark of Scorpio, we find our most vulnerable places exposed, and we are now able to work with the material set before us. We may have a few surprises coming, but Venus is on duty all week, doing her best to support our inner harmony and sweeten our lives a little. The desire to find harmony within ourselves combines with motivation for permanent change. We can find silver linings now and begin to see the beauty around us once again. Connections deepen. Relationships deepen. Our sense of self deepens too, as we finally understand the connections between our past experiences and our present selves.  Despite the chaos and confusion, we can finally feel our feet beneath us, finding our centers once again.

Episode 8: Astrological Events of October 11 - 17 2020

Thoughts, Words and Deeds:

As things intensify, we focus on centering the mind and body. Use your self-care toolkits to assist the planets this week.

The planets continue to engage in a series of stressful aspects. We will surely feel it in our personal lives and within our minds and bodies. We have been exposed to surprising information over the past few weeks, it’s time to reflect.

You will feel the pull of two poles and be drawn to find balance between them. If you find yourself feeling exhausted or called to rest, allow yourself the time you need. Pushing forward is what we are culturally conditioned to do, but this week the planets are calling us to gently nurture ourselves.

As confusions in communications abound, we might be tempted to take ego based defense where none is needed. Patiently practice techniques to alleviate miscommunications. Be mindful of how you talk to yourself and others. As the world shifts around us, we are called to find our center of gravity within.

Get Your Minds Straight People

This week Rebecca and Bronwyn talk about exploring the core structures within our minds, bodies and throughout our past.   Resolving and releasing old issues will free up energy that can be used for creating and strengthening the road ahead.   We are ripe for personal healing.  By dealing with our own shadow content, we will be led to the source of our own authority and power.  This is hard work - find allies and support by partnering with the right people and things. Transformation is on offer, as is the dedication, drive and commitment it takes to follow through on the changes we make.  We are laying the groundwork for clear inner strength, building the momentum we will draw from in the coming months.
