Warrior Goddess

This week starts with a bang and ends with a whimper.  You may already be feeling the intense energies that are coming your way.  The first of 2 eclipses is on Monday and as normal with eclipses, you could be in for a wild ride.

The Lunar Eclipse on the Aries-Libra axis is the only aspect that I will discuss this week.  The rest of the aspects are lunar and technically a lunar eclipse is a lunar aspect as well, but this eclipse has significant meaning to it.  Part of the meaning will be dependent on where in your chart this eclipse happens.

The Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 25 at 3:00 am EST.  Because this Lunar Eclipse is on the Aries-Libra axis it is about power dynamics.  The power between yourself and the other significant relationships in your life.  It is the masculine energies vs the feminine energies.  It is the beginning and the end.  Libra energy is seeking balance in life, but this eclipse is more about the Aries energy.  It’s about the beginning and power.

We live in a male-dominant culture.  It wasn’t always this way, but that’s for another time.  I’m going to be a little political for a moment.  Societally we are being shown the effects of our male-dominant culture.  How is this culture working for you?  Let’s focus exclusively on women though.  Women have been expected to cater to the needs of men to the point where women weren’t even allowed to vote until 1920 and women couldn’t have a credit card until the early 1970s.  Women seemed to be on a trajectory where we were gaining rights and in 2016, the United States almost had a female president and leader.  But patriarchy did not go quietly into that good night.  Instead, another man entered the White House, and not just any man, but a man with an agenda.  He is exposing the underbelly of the patriarchy.  Since 2016, women seem to be losing ground.  Women have lost the right in some states to have a say over whether they want an abortion and our own right to make our own healthcare decisions could be next. 

Aries is all about power and the warrior.  This is the time for women to step up and be noticed.  I know it’s not easy.  I have hidden any number of times and occasionally need the push to get out of my own way.  Think about the power dynamics in your own life.  Does one person have all the power or is it a balance between two people or a group of people?  Look closely at these relationships.  Do you want to stay, or do you want to go?  Free yourself from what is no longer serving you and start the process of beginning again.  I understand that it’s terrifying to start from scratch, but something that has helped me to make decisions is what do I have left to lose.  Most of the time what I have feared has already come true if I’m being honest with myself.

This eclipse has the power to make dynamic changes in your life if you’re willing to step up and take a risk.  Step into your power.  The world needs us to step up and reclaim our feminine energy.   The world needs some warrior goddesses to point the way into a new era.

Is It Good for the Needs of Everyone?

Two more planets are entering the sign of Aquarius this week, so it’s time to look at what is good for the collective.  Maybe over the next few weeks, we can push humanity forward a little bit.  It’s good to have a dream and even a little optimistic.

Mars enters the sign of Aquarius on February 13 at 1:05 am EST.  Mars is going to move into an air element which isn’t always the best place to get things accomplished, but it will force Mars to be itself.  Mars will want to be free and will allow others to be free as well.  Freedom is a prize highly sought after with Mars in Aquarius.

Mars in Aquarius Conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius on February 14 at 1:06 am EST.  It's not the best energy for Valentine’s Day this year.  Valentine’s Day is about power dynamics.  Who is in charge?  Even though both signs are in Aquarius and would normally be ok just letting the other person do their thing, Pluto expects that he is in charge. 

Venus enters Aquarius on February 16 at 11:05 am EST.  Venus in Aquarius can be detached from her emotions.  It could help you accomplish something where your emotions typically get in the way.  It could also be a great time to socialize.  Go hang out with some friends and have a little fun.  Be yourself.

Mercury in Aquarius Squares Uranus in Taurus on February 16 at 10:53 pm EST.  Freedom-Seeking Aquarius is having some trouble with the more traditional values of Taurus.  Mercury wants to look ahead and Uranus is in the moment.  Compromise may be necessary.

Venus in Aquarius Conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius on February 17 at 3:48 am EST.  Pluto has had conversations with Mercury, Mars and now Venus since moving into the sign of Aquarius in January.  Pluto wants to change humanity over the next 20 years.  He wants us to be concerned with our neighbors and look out for others.  Venus is ready to contribute to the conversation about love and beauty.  How can we be more concerned with those around us?

Heart vs. Power

Did you take time to rest last week? Ready or not, here comes another energy wave, and time it’s mostly about what’s in your heart.

Mercury in Taurus Conjuncts Uranus in Taurus on June 4 at 3:49 pm.  You may have some big epiphany about what you value or some sort of communication that you’ve been putting off could become significant and you have to get it off your chest.

Venus enters the sign of Leo on June 5 at 9:46 am.  It’s time to think about yourself.  Venus wants to have fun and be confident, but could also like to show off and be loud.  Leo is all about the heart.  Where is your heart leading you?  With Venus entering Leo, it’s time for a look in the direction of what is your heart telling you is the right path.  You typically know if it’s time to make a change and when things aren’t quite going how you expected.  Take a step back and look at it from a heart-centered place.  Does it alter the direction you need to go?

A few hours later at 12:05 pm, Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius.  Aquarius wants to look ahead and Leo is interested in this moment.  What does your heart want vs. the power of the mind or the power of the collective?  Are you being pulled in two separate directions?  See if there’s another path, but when it comes down to it, remember that your heart doesn’t normally steer you wrong.  It’s normally your mind or fear that will get in the way.  So this week remember to live from your heart.

What’s in your heart? Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

Entering the Void

It’s the time of year when you won’t be getting as much done as you might like.  Mars in Gemini is going retrograde on October 30 at 9:26 am.
 
Mars is the planet of action and when it goes retrograde it goes into a period of rest.  It doesn’t mean you won’t get anything done until it goes direct, but it will take longer to accomplish your tasks.  Maybe you need a break.  Let’s be honest, most of us need a break from all of the intense energy that has been happening.  The emotional upsets, power struggles, money issues, and self-worth drama.  It’s just been all too much.
 
This week you’re in the in-between phase between the Solar Eclipse (New Moon) on October 25 and the Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) on November 8.  Hopefully, you’re releasing the things that no longer serve you and are moving with the energy.  It’s hard to change, but the universe wants you to go with the flow.  Don’t fight the energy.  It’s here to serve your highest and best good, even if it doesn’t always seem like it.  It’s a challenge when you don’t know what’s on the other side to roll with life, but you’re being asked to give it a try.  Just remind yourself everything you want is on the other side of fear.
 
There are a lot of lunar (moon) aspects that I won’t address this week, but it will constantly draw you back to this Eclipse energy.
 
On November 5 at 6:22 pm, Venus in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus.  Uranus is trying to awaken you and help you grow.  This is the latest aspect that is helping to guide you in this direction, but with Uranus, if you don’t follow the nudges, it will eventually push you.  You may become emotional as a part of this struggle or other people may be playing with your emotions.  Either way, keep this energy in mind as the week closes out. 
 
It's important during periods of high energy to remember your methods of self-care.  Could be meditation, Reiki, exercise, etc.  It can be a challenge to fit into your busy life, but it always makes you feel better.

Forward Motion

Finally!  Mercury retrograde is coming to a close and will station direct on October 2 at 5:07 AM.  Technology glitches and communications will begin to right themselves.  However, Mercury isn’t the only planet stationing direct this week.  Pluto will station direct on October 8 at 5:56 pm.
 
For the past few weeks, everything has felt like it’s been at a standstill while you’ve been revisited from your past.  What did your past reveal to you?  Are you headed in a new direction or are you still unhappy with the direction that your life has taken?  If you’re still not sure, don’t worry.  When the planets station either retrograde or direct, the energy becomes more intense. 
 
The North Node in Taurus is still asking you to grow and will be until July 2023.  Change is afoot and sometimes no matter how much you fight it, it’s easier to just go with the flow.  You won’t always know how things will turn out when you start them.  Sometimes you just have to take a chance. 
 
Mercury is back in Virgo until October 10.  Mercury is being analytical and practical right now.  Mercury doesn’t want to make any mistakes.  But life is all about the mistakes.  It’s how you handle them, that matters.
 
Pluto has been retrograde since April 29, 2022.  Pluto is the underworld or the shadow, but it’s also the power of transformation.  It’s how you can become empowered in your life.  Pluto in Capricorn has been changing the structures of your world and the world around you.  Pluto moved into Capricorn in November 2008 and will give you a sneak peek from March 24, 2023 to June 12, 2023 of Pluto in Aquarius.  It will enter Aquarius for an extended stay on September 3, 2024.  The collective is headed into these final degrees of Pluto in Capricorn.  It’s important that you lay the foundation now for the next phase of your life. 
 
You’re being pushed to make progress.  It’s time to start taking steps.  You have the option to go one step at a time, but it’s time for forward motion.

New Ways of Thinking

It’s so easy to think about the same way that you always have, but what if that way is outdated?  Just because you’ve always done things that way doesn’t mean it’s the only way. The universe is encouraging you to think about things differently right now.
 
There is a Full Moon in Capricorn coming on July 13 at 2:38 pm.  The Full Moon is also in opposition to Mercury in Cancer.  You’re being guided to let go of these ways of thinking that no longer serve you,
 
Look at the world around you.  There are lots of ways of thinking or looking at things that now seem outdated.  The rights of women that many of us are facing are outdated compared to when many of our laws around the United States were implemented: the rights of minorities, the rights of people of different sexual orientations, the classification of gender.  The list goes on and on.  It’s time to take a look at what it means to be a person with rights. 
 
Look at your opinions.  Are your opinions more valid than other person’s opinions?  No, they’re opinions, not facts.  What you value may be different than what someone else values, does that make it any less valuable to you?  
 
Each one of us is being asked to have a new perspective.  It’s so easy to just continue down the path of life and do things the way you always have, but has that way of doing things made you happy?  There are so many unhappy people, and you could be one of them.  A new way of doing things can seem bad or overwhelming, but what if it’s not? 
 
As I have made changes in my life, I have had to look at what I have thought and been taught.   Every time fear has come to the surface, the same question runs through my mind.  What if I can’t?  And then I get the response, but what if you can? 
 
You don’t have to act right away, you can and should take some time to process a new approach to thinking, but next time what if comes to your mind, try and flip it and see what happens.  If it doesn’t work, you can always do it differently, but maybe, just maybe, it will work, and you could be on your way to a new approach to life.

The Feminine Warrior

Happy Independence Day!  It may not feel like there’s a whole lot to celebrate as a nation.  Our rights as women have been taken away and there are people out there who would like to take more of our rights.
 
It’s easy to get trapped in the negative, but it’s important to not remain there and realize that women still have power.  Females in the past have fought this same fight before and have made progress.  It can be done again.
 
The Sun in Cancer can be representative of the feminine.  It’s a nurturing and caring energy and on July 8 at 9:23 am it is Square Chiron in Aries.  Chiron is known as the Wounded Healer and it’s in the sign of Aries, the warrior.
 
There’s an opportunity here.  The battle isn’t going to be won overnight, but it can and will be fought.  There’s an opportunity for women to empower themselves.
 
As women, we have been shamed and made to feel guilty for making decisions that are right for us.  Why?  Because they may not be right for the masculine.  Women and their role in society for centuries had been reduced to the role of caretakers.  While that may be one part of being a woman, that isn’t all that we are.  The patriarchy has put us made us “second-class” citizens for centuries.  The time for the feminine to put herself on equal ground is now.
 
It's time to fight.  How do we fight?  It hasn’t been entirely revealed quite yet, but one way is to vote.  Women died for us to have the right to vote and it’s time to use it.  As a country, the United States is in its Pluto Return.  The United States’ Pluto is in Capricorn.  Capricorn is the structure.  At that time, women were the property of men and it shows in the founding documentation of our country.  And it’s not just women that were property, but people of other races.  The United States founding documentation represents rich white men.
 
The United States is not composed of entirely rich white men.  The United States is composed of women and men from all regions of the world and it’s time that our laws reflect that.  With the U.S.’s Pluto Return we have an opportunity to change course.  To make sure that we are heard and have a role in society that is representative of who women really are.  Women do not have to feel shame or guilt for being who they are any longer.  We can become a Feminine Warrior and have power over the things in life that are important to us. It’s time to get battle-ready!

Plunge Into the Depths

Mercury has now stationed direct.  Yay! But, remember the shadow period of Mercury retrograde typically lasts about 2 weeks, so it’s still active.  On June 10, Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn.
 
Trines tend to be a harmonious aspect, so it’s one that’s often overlooked for self-development work, but it can help.  Mercury is asking questions of Pluto and wants to know its secrets.  Pluto is your deepest emotional wound.  Pluto wounds tend to be unconscious, but what happens when you make it conscious?  You’ve opened up another whole can of worms to work with.
 
Pluto wounds are emotional.  They tend to lead to tears, but if you start working with it, it can truly begin to change your life.  Now that Mercury is direct, what secrets were revealed to you.  Did you learn about your Pluto wounding?  Could it change the direction of your life, if you make it change?  There’s a good possibility that the answer is yes. The secret revealed could change your life, but what do you do.  Do you act or do you stay with the known road?
 
Mercury trine Pluto is a perfect time to investigate the inner workings of yourself.  How do you tick?  You can alter the course of your life.   The hardest step is always the first.  Inner work is hard, there are no 2 ways about it.  It may be one of the most difficult things that you encounter, but it can also be the most rewarding and empowering decisions that you make. 
 
Are you ready to change your life?  You don’t have to act, just yet.  You can start with the preliminary work.  Begin with the investigation.  No decisions have to be made during an investigation; you’re just gathering information.

Transformation Through Destruction

Are you in the process of transforming your life?  You’re not alone.  Pluto, the planet and transformation, destruction, and rebirth is still in Capricorn, where it’s been since 2008, but is really making its presence known. 

In January of 2020, Saturn and Pluto had a conjunction, which many say began the world that we’re now living in.  COVID -19 changed your life as you knew it.  The repercussions of that aspect have been with us for more than 2 years, but Pluto isn’t done.

On February 20, the United States began the first of its 3 Pluto Returns (there’s debate as to whether this happens now or later).  The next Pluto Returns take place on July 11 and December 28 at 27 degrees Capricorn. One of the keywords for Capricorn is structures.  Pluto in Capricorn has been transforming our structures personally and globally, but things are about to get kicked up a notch.

Venus, Mars, and Capricorn form a triple conjunction in Capricorn on March 3.  Major revisions are starting to take place.  Fears, insecurities, and shadows are rising to the surface.  It’s time for you to face your feelings about where you need to make changes.  These energies may be deeply rooted and will most likely be uncomfortable.  Rebirth isn’t meant to be easy.  You’re being asked to grow into the person that you’re meant to be.  This is a time for you to question the direction of your life.  Where are you going?  What do you want it to look like?

Take this Plutonian energy and channel it into rebuilding your life.  Use the energy to your advantage.  It’s never easy to change or to look at the dark side of life, but when you do light begins to emerge.  You can’t have light without the dark. 

Because there are 3 passes of Pluto this year, you have an opportunity to do it gradually.  The transformation doesn’t have to happen overnight.  You can take some time and ponder it, but with Mars being involved, it wants you to start moving.  The time is now.  Start doing the work if you haven’t already.  Use your imagination to create your dreams. 

What are you transforming?  Let me know. Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment.

It’s An Evolution!

Have you been evolving lately?  If not, how can you evolve?  This year is about rebuilding the structure of your life.  January 2022 is not meant to look the same as January 2021.  It’s supposed to be different.
 
Change can be hard.  Especially when you’re not ready.  Is there a way you can get ready?  Maybe take it in small pieces.  Or maybe you need someone to help push you past the fear.  Fear can stop you in your tracks and keep you from growing.  Life is easier when you know what to expect.  But sometimes you just need a little push.  A push that moves you from your head into action.
 
I needed one a couple of weeks ago.  I’ve been preparing to bring in-person Reiki sessions to a hair salon that I work at.  I had all the pieces ready.  I just needed to pick a date.  My boss and I were having a conversation and told me just to pick one.  I sat down and picked a date that gave me some time to get everything aligned, but it’s in the books.
 
The only way to get past fear is to do it.  While I’m in preparation mode, I’ve also been working on ways to combine Reiki and astrology.  I’m taking some medical astrology classes.  It will probably take me until the end of the year to fully combine it, but I’ve started.  I have a plan to grow, and my business is evolving.  I’m evolving.
 
You may find yourself in a place that you never pictured.  It’s ok.  I’m right there with you.  You could love how it turns out, but you’ll never know if you don’t try.  You have to begin somewhere.
 
How are you evolving?  Let me know. Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment.
