Please please please stop everything and go check out painter Khari Turner. New Moon Eclipse in Gemini June 10, 2021 What kind of beginning is it? Conflicted. Magical. A Return. Painful, Beautiful, Potent and Strong. Gemini wants to know. Isn’t that the main thing...
*Eugen Gabritschevsky The incomparable Lorraine O’Grady writes: – The one advantage art has over other methods of knowledge, and the reason I engage in it rather than some other activity for which my training and intelligence might be suited, is that, except for the...
The incomparable Walter Anderson We gather sweetness while we can. We need it. Our summer promises some beautiful beginnings, and so many adjustments. Over and over, in June, July, and August, we will be asked to reassess, to try to understand viscerally, to follow a...
We will feel this one coming from very far away… even now. Along with all the feels, expect breakdowns and tech glitches. Break thru and scale back. The Full Moon is a big reveal. The organic shape that love makes is not without complications. What is seduction after...
Brecht sez: “To those who do not know that the world is on fire, I have nothing to say.” Compulsive, powerful, karmic, difficult. Promises will be made. Promises will be made with every intention of keeping them. It’s not clear if we do the right thing… but I do think...
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. ~ Lin Yutang said that. Sometimes you have to fight for what is right, and if it turns out that you do that now, exercise self control. The...
As we wait for the Pisces New Moon, let’s follow our Dark Moon protocols. Declutter, let go, surrender. That said, don’t let yourself be pushed around. The Moon is in Capricorn today headed for Pluto, deep feelings and as they arrive give yourself a container to...
I’ve been thinking about this time: this new terrestrial year of the Metal Ox, this Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius, and I think that this time can be used as though fixing a dropped stitch in the fabric of creation. I wrote this for The Starshine Show: New Moon in...
The Full Moon at 9 degrees LEO across from the Aquarius Sun/Jupiter conjunction is violent, high drama, potent, accident prone & too, with Pluto conjunct Venus, it’s potentially heartfelt, sad, traumatic, destructive, and nearly as revelatory as any moment we have...
I want to turn to something Andy Warhol wrote, which includes something Simone de Beauvoir wrote: – ”When Simone de Beauvoir said “I’m reliving it, neutralizing it, and transforming it into an inoffensive past that I can keep in my heart without either disowning it or...
Forces at work here are massive, fateful, dreamy, abrupt (and the key word and absolute trash panda of 2020): unprecedented. This time: December, January, and February is such alchemy, such absolute transfiguration that it makes no sense to write about the full...
-A scientist can pretend that his work isn’t himself, it’s merely the impersonal truth. An artist can’t hide behind the truth. He can’t hide anywhere.- Ursula K. Le Guin says that. & There is a poem called Dust by Dorianne Laux that begins – Someone spoke to me...
Neptune turned direct only yesterday! Mars is on a roll. Way back on May 22, 2020, a New Moon in Gemini sent us on our way, and here we are at the Full Moon In Gemini, with extra sauce: It’s an ECLIPSE. So what just happened? In a sense, we find out....
Have we been following the moon around waiting for something to wish for? Desire nature, how long has it been? When was the last time you imagined you could have something you wanted? How much grief is stored in that thought alone? We don’t stop wanting. WE NEED TO...
Last night while we ate dinner, myself, my children and their friend, (all eating a very large greek salad, so large that we couldn’t even finish it,) my son reminded me that there still exists and circulates an internet advertisement that more than likely you have...
Out in the open. Right out where everyone can see it. Push has in fact come to shove. Conflict rich. Libra competes or compares. Although the conflict, the contract, the ALLIANCE is public, there are more than a few unfinished machinations behind the scenes. Libra...
Cough it up. Gross, right? Well maybe, but is it as gross as keeping it in? I’m not sure you have a choice anyway. This Full Moon happens, and you will have both the power and awareness to do some deep level processing. It could be about money or sex, or death. Where...
There may be a conversation. It may start with a conversation, news between partners, between enemies, between friends who have been friends forever, a conversation that promises, oh I don’t know what. Something comes in and out of focus. It might be a book, a song...
The Full Moon in Pisces shakes us free. It’s a sort of preparation for a very potent New Moon in Virgo on September 17th. We need this one, just as it is, even if we cry. Let’s make room for emotions of every color. For every messy, wet, smeary, heartfelt, imperfect,...
Meadow in Aso, Kumamoto, Japan. Photo: Kenken (@kenken_728) Our world revolves around the Sun. We know that, but somehow, it’s hard to comprehend. No Sun, no us. LEO is our heart, our Sun as the heart of our body, our system. Our solar system. We say systemic, that’s...
The tipping points of time, the moment the cup overflows and a single drop of water spills, the heightened sense when you feel a pivotal question arrive on a lover’s lips before they speak. The cool sorrowful electricity knowing this is the last time you listen to...
