Aquarius season kicks off as the sun, Mercury and Mars enter the sign I was freshly conceived when “Hair” the musical first debuted on Broadway and ten when the fabulously controversial movie hit the big screen. Mesmerized by the untamed hippies, the drugs and catchy...
Why astrology’s not really what you think it is? I was twelve when this tiny, witchy woman showed up at our door to read our astrology charts. She was scary looking, otherworldly, more apparition than flesh. I’d never encountered anyone who didn’t seem fully of this...
I’ve been noticing how hard it feels to stop. Even today, as the busiest (not much snow) season winds down, I feel like I’m running on fumes — wired, tired, unable to rest truly. I woke up buzzing, restless, anxious, without any discernible cause. I realized I’m manic...
The Cancer full moon reminds us that sensitivity is a strength, not a flaw “You’re too sensitive!” I’ve heard that refrain over and over my entire life, skipping like a scratched record. Next comes, “You’re so emotional,” packed with accusation. That’s followed...
Moon Mondays! I’ve been a total bah humbug about Christmas for years. Honestly, I could care less about it. I’m not religious, and for a long time, the holidays just brought stress. Sadness. A knot in my chest. Not joy. So this week, as Venus moves into Capricorn on...
As Venus enters Capricorn, a look at family wounds, holiday pressure, and why peace doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine I’ve been a total “bah humbug” about Christmas for years. Honestly, I couldn’t care less. I’m not religious, and for a long time, the...
Moon Mondays this week brings us the Sagittarius New Moon and the Capricorn Solstice—a rare moment when the Sun and Moon meet in Sagittarius for the new moon and then both transition into Capricorn right afterward. When the Sun enters Capricorn, the solstice arrives....
Why the solstice — not January 1 — is your true New Year, and how to set a clear direction for the first half of 2026 This week delivers both the Sagittarius new moon and the winter solstice. The sun and moon meet in Sagittarius for the new moon and then together step...
Do you feel like the world is wobbling under your feet right now? Like reality itself is shifting, and you can’t quite trust what’s real anymore? If you’re feeling destabilized, there’s a reason: we are in a collective initiation. Neptune is...
Neptune stations direct while we’re in the thick of the hero’s initiation — why your inner work now shapes the world to come For years, I’ve felt increasingly frustrated with modern astrology’s obsession with prediction — as if the planets were fortune cookies instead...
Moon Mondays: Saturn, Mercury & Staying True to Yourself This Holiday Season It’s Moon Mondays—and this Thursday brings the Gemini Full Moon Supermoon. The Moon is closer to Earth, so it appears larger and has a bigger impact on the tides and us. But really, it’s...
A supermoon that rattles your cage, shoves you out of your comfort zone, and reminds you — even in your contradictions, you were never broken Thursday brings us the Gemini full supermoon. Because the moon is closer to the earth, it appears larger and has a stronger...
Moon Mondays: Saturn, Mercury & Staying True to Yourself This Holiday Season As Saturn and Mercury both station direct this week, our minds and systems start moving forward again. Our structures and foundations begin to stabilize, and life picks up speed—right on...
Two planets turn direct this Thanksgiving week — you can, too, without slipping back into your childhood self As Saturn and Mercury both station direct (end their retrograde cycles), our minds, bodies, and lives move forward again. After an offseason of peace, quiet,...
Here’s the truth: just setting intentions with the new moon just isn’t enough. Wishing on a moonbeam, fingers crossed, essential oils dripped on the altar—it’s just not gonna cut it. The cosmos doesn’t work like that. Manifesting isn’t passive. It’s participatory. We...
The Scorpio new moon isn’t about magical wishes — it’s a cosmic summons to dig deep to make real change For years, I was the queen of new moon intention-setting. Ceremony after ceremony, moon after moon, relentlessly without fail, I’d gather under the stars or at my...
Are you feeling a little worried that Mercury went retrograde yesterday? Like the last thing you need right now is more stress or chaos? I get it. With the world seemingly falling apart—madness, violence, hate everywhere—it’s easy to feel like we’re all losing our...
Are you fretting over Mercury going retrograde yesterday? Does it feel like the last thing you need right now is more stress — tech glitches, distractions, misunderstandings? Is the world about to finally succumb to complete chaos? Humanity feels like it’s lost its...
Crazy as it sounds, I used to buy precious organic raspberries and then let them rot in my fridge. Why? Because they felt too special. I was unconsciously saving them for some future rainy day when I’d finally deserve them. Of course, raspberries don’t wait — they...
Hiking up one of the mountains here last weekend, I was struck by the beauty of fall. Not the standard sunlit yellows and vibrant reds — though there have been so many reds this year — but the subtle beauty after the leaves have fallen: the evergreens against the gray...
