How are you doing after last week's eclipse? We are in a period of a void--between the release (lunar eclipse full moon on June 5th) and next week's solar eclipse new moon near the solstice (June 21st). **This upcoming new moon + solstice next week is a powerful astrological portal. **Meaning that this period between the old and new is a time to clear the stuff from your life not working anymore and prepare for a strong new beginning. I've personally been feeling the eclipse energies a lot as I ... Read more
Venus emerged as the morning star this week, starting a brand new cycle in Gemini, for the next 19 months. Gemini is going on a trip to the underworld and back. This painting I started a few weeks back to honor my journey through the Libra cycle is complete just in time as the new cycle begins. As I was painting to synthesize my experiences in the past 19 months, this is what came to me: My identity is changing. I've known this for a long while, but the process has been slow and clarity is co... Read more
We are entering a deeply transformational 4 week period. You might laugh at this and say, hasn’t the entire year been deeply transformational so far? Yes, it has, and it's not letting up. The eclipse period that has opened already, with the 1st on June 5th, are doorways, portals, windows into new dimensions, new ways of being. There is no going back after this. No matter how intense things are in your life right now, or not, you don’t need to be at the effect of these energies. You can walk thro... Read more
We've been talking of the past and current Venus cycles in recent weeks. We started with developing Self-Love with Leo, developing courage and inner power with Aries, developing ability to be in conscious equal relationships with Libra. Now, Venus is coming to the end of her Libra cycle and will start anew in June 2020 in Gemini. Not only that, the eclipses for the next ~2 years, starting June 5th, will feature Gemini as the North node. **So for the next 19 months, Gemini plays a huge role in th... Read more
Now Venus is about 5 degrees from the Sun and is in the underworld, and will soon not be seen in the evening sky anymore as she gets closer to the Sun. The next 8 day period is an important part of her Libra cycle as she integrates and then surrenders all that she has learned in the past 19 months. This is so she can morph into her Gemini self in preparation for the next cycle. This underworld period can seem challenging as all the unintegrated, untransformed bits can come to our awareness and b... Read more
In our new moon the today (replay posted in the Activate Your Power Facebook group), I went over how the energy of Gemini is very prominent with Moon/Sun/Mercury/Venus RX and North Node in Gemini. One way this energy can show up is a lot of overwhelm and things & people demanding your attention, leading to feeling scattered. Its important to be discerning of what you let into your space at this time. Gemini brings in a fresh energy of lightness, a breath of fresh air & inspiration in our... Read more
Today we continue the journey with Venus in the Aries Cycle and then the Libra cycle, the current cycle she is in (See part 1 and part 2 of the story). As you read through it, sense into what resonates for you and what shifted for you during those cycles. Aries Cycle (M****arch 2017 to Oct 2018): The essence of Aries is courage, to pursue something new, personal power, developing your own identity. And it was here where I moved through the biggest block of my life, the courage to drive a car. Th... Read more
In my last post, I talked about the Venus cycle, Inanna's Descent and that it is a cycle of death and rebirth. Now, this story of Inanna, is actually modeled after the planet Venus in the sky and her journey around the sun (Synodic cycle). The planet Venus, in our charts, represents the Divine Feminine within each of us. She takes 19 months to go around the sun, and each 19 month cycle has 3 phases-when she is morning star (descent), when she is with the sun (underworld phase) and when she is ev... Read more
At this time of great change, is the Divine Feminine calling to you? Are you feeling the void that we are in has all possibilities present and some wisdom deep inside asking you to pay attention to your choices? At the time of this writing, we have 4 planets Retrograde (Pluto, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter). Venus, the planet that represents Divine Feminine qualities within us and in the collective, being retrograde in Gemini adds a layer of complexity to the Rx of the other 3 planets which go retrogra...

The astrological natal chart is a map of who you are meant to be. The greatest gift I’ve received from Astrology has been the permission to be unapologetically ME and its shown me exactly HOW to be me, by studying my natal chart. As a result, I have such CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY on who I am meant to be, its shocking even to me! The chart contains clues your soul has provided to consciously create this life and indicates your soul’s intent for this life. It is not enough just to know what the sign i... Read more
