And Just Like That...

Drag to Move

Hello Fellow Travelers,

And just like that, it is fall 2021. This picture here shows what I am feeling. I invite you to come to the end of this wooden deck and look out over your life. The Full Moon ahead lights your way. The tiny lantern is there too. The trees line your path, and act as guideposts, letting you know they guide and protect. The wooden structure is holding you up. Above what might be an abyss, or chaos or all the places and places that you no longer wish to inhabit. Within, without, above and below.

What is it that you can count on right now? What holds you, guides you, protects and beckons? What structures give you space to explore and grow wild wings and also self contain with loving boundaries? What thoughts, inspirations, ideas are out there, behind this moon, awaiting the call of your soul?

What thoughts, inspirations, ideas are right here within your life, already manifest so you may heal, or rest, or rejoice or sigh?

I welcome the Fall, the turn of the seasons and the turn of the tide. I welcome the tried and true, releasing itself so you may feel comforted in challenging times and renewed in faith, trust and surrender.

I come to the edge of this sturdy wooden platform. I gaze out over the horizon. I imagine I am facing south east, the direction that the moon is rising in right now. I call in the directions. I give thanks for life. I give thanks for the shedding of all that which binds me to fears realized and unrealized, and allows the hopeful silvery light to meet me in warm embrace.

I come to the edge and call out. I scream out. I see the beginning place of the rising sun, intermingling with the ending place of the full moon. I am awakened to life as a constant journey of beginnings and endings and the fertile places in between.

I come to the edge and I scream out, STOP. I don't want to get off, I just want to know peace. I want to know miracles in the face of adversity. I want to smile from the deepest places within that have been touched by terror. I want to heal those places.

I come to the edge. I sit. I make a seat amidst the falling leaves and the splintery wood. I look to my left and see the tree that stands guard, releasing again. A beautiful release. An ending that happens because of the fertile in between time. I look to my right and see the same. I look above and I see the stars, the portals to the other realms. I touch them. I draw them down. I enter them. I am released.

I come to the edge. There is no turning back. Where are those wings? I remember my wings are here. Fully grown. Healed. No broken wing any more. Life has healed my broken wings and grounded flight. Life has both broken the wings and healed those wings. I am released. I decide to fly.

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

The Moon Called to Me. How I came to be an Astrologer

  It was the Moon. Her light. Her radiant light, shining across time and space. That is how Astrology found me. I sang the song to my little girl. I thought of all those far and near who I hold dear. Life may take me away, ahead, moving on, yet the moon always was there. Reminding me of our eternal connections.  "I see the Moon and the Moon sees me.  The Moon sees somebody I'd like to see.  God bless the moon and God bless me,  and God bless the somebody I'd like to see."  Astrology is a healing art. Astrology is a map of our soul. Astrology is our connection with our Ancestors. Astrology is energy alive and vibrating as planetary bodies, movement, cycles and rhythms held in place by the mysterious and curious. What source of energy held this all together and directed its vast beauty?  Why did the Moon call to me? How did I know to sit beneath its glow and pray, chant, call out my deepest desires, hopes, wishes, dreams?  As I started to pay attent...
