Or for that matter, why isn’t every new Moon a solar eclipse? We have a new Moon and full Moon every month, but eclipse seasons only twice a year. Why is that? It’s because the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun only twice a year and the Moon moves through the...

We passed through our last chakra gate when the waning crescent Moon met with Venus one last time, a couple of weeks ago (see photo I took of this at bottom). On September 14 Venus will become lost from our sights into the bright light of the Sun. Venus is there one...

September is filled with dawn sky magic, priestess powers and a journey into the Underworld. It’s a month of inner communion and Earth reverence opportunities. Star heart mysticism and healing with empathy abound. We are encouraged to find the circular nature of life...

We head into July days after the Cancer New Moon on June 28. There is still time to set your monthly Moon intention. Perhaps you want to bring Venus entering the sacral chakra gate, on June 26, into this intention as well. Perhaps with a focus on clearing blockages to...

Happy June Solstice! Looking for the signs or archetypes around me deepens my understanding of them. As a spiritual aromatherapist, I look to the plants to teach me about life. As a Shamanic Astrologer I look to the sky and the earth to teach me how to better...

March has the continued powerful theme of Venus and Mars together again, along with Pluto and Vesta in the mix. We’re getting a serious call to do our Sacred Marriage work within, cultivating union between our Feminine and Masculine aspects. At the end of February,...

If you’ve been outside in the early morning recently, you’ve definitely seen Venus. If it’s been really early you may have seen Mars as well. I love the backdrop of Antares and Vega in a wide frame to this get-together. Perhaps, you’ve been blessed with a Mercury...

These last two Aquarian Full Moons, in a row, have me visioning more deeply into what I do and what I bring to Shamanic Astrology. Many of you new to Shamanic Astrology have probably wondered, at some point, does the “shamanic” part refer to plant medicines? For most...
