Crowrider: God is Alive, Magic Is Afoot- Neptune in Pisces
I have written a bit about other collective astrological developments in past writings: Pluto’s transit through Capricorn and the great transformation of the Father Principle of structure, culture, institutions and ways we organize our world. I’ve written about Uranus transiting through Aries, the great revolutionary energy sweeping through the warrior archetype – catalyzing our basic need for autonomy and liberation. And I have written about Saturn moving through Libra and the law of limitation/restriction asking us to take responsibility for the basic way we come into relationship...

If you are anything like me, one week into the New Year you may be sharing my current prayers. Please, please Universe, Let me return to the order and rhythm of my own life. Please, please Universe, Let me return to my own body, my own purpose and goals. Please, please Universe, Let me be provided for and supported. Please, please Universe, Let me find the daily and weekly structures that will help me move my goals forward. I don’t think I’m the only one that marvels at how much time and energy it takes to return from the rituals and sacred festivals of this season. What I notice about my...

Since mid-October, I’ve spent every spare second I have, many long three-day weekends, at my mother’s getting her house ready to sell. Sorting through closets, drawers, garages, trunks, rummaging through old photos, baby cloths, letters, old jewelry, etc. My mom has lived at this house for 20 years.

We are re-viewing and re-making a life. Astrologically,...

Hearing the Call As we enter the deep heart of Autumn, we feel the loss of light and the darkness beckons us. At this time, I am aware of a familiar turn within, as the soul hears the changing of the drum beat. She is guided now, not by the light of the outer sun, but by a subtle glow of barely burning embers within. Some of you may hear the drum calling you into the dream cave and resist it. Many of us are still scared of the dark. So much of our identity is anchored out there in other’s approval, in tangible accomplishments, and in our outer role as mother, father, or friend. In the old...
Read MoreCrowrider: The Art of Relationship
With four planets in Libra (Sun, Saturn, Mercury and Venus) my mind and experience is centered on relationships. This astrological concentration is highlighted this week by the full moon in Aries (Tuesday the 11th) and the ongoing transit of Uranus through Aries, who’s opposing energies really light up the ongoing tension between our need for radical, individual freedom and our longing for and commitment to our relationships. As this topic of Self and Other has been meandering through my awareness this living inquiry has been fed by two things: 1) collaborating on a art show and 2) reading...
