Today we have a double dose of Scorpio type energy that helps us to dive deep into the dark shadows of our inner state. We have moon in Scorpio along with Jupiter meeting Pluto in Capricorn for the 2nd time (1st time was Apr 4th, when both were direct. Today they are both retrograde, implying that the spotlight is on our inner self and hidden karmic stories). Pluto, the planet, resonates most with the energy of Scorpio (meaning they represent the same thing, death of old patterns, facing of fear... Read more
There is a lot going on in the cosmos this week. Let's break it down to understand it better: Neptune in Pisces turned retrograde a few days ago. The planet representing our visions, dreams and our connection to the Divine now has an inner focus for the next several months. This means that things may feel more confusing than usual. Disillusionment & depression with the status quo can come up strongly. Mercury is still retrograde in the sign of Cancer. Both these together mean that trying to ... Read more
This weekend(Friday, Saturday and Sunday) is a powerful astrological portal with the new moon at 0 Cancer, which also happens to be an annular Solar Eclipse followed by the Solstice on Saturday. Just any one of these transits would be powerful by itself, but all of these together, is off the charts! If that was not enough, Mercury, the planet that represents our mind, our communication, our expression, turns retrograde today for 3 weeks in the sign of Cancer. This means that there is an internal... Read more
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
