How do you calm the storms within you?
Hello beautiful beings, I hope you are all well! I am currently in the southeast of the USA, recently weathering the storms that moved through the region last week. I was fortunate enough to be in Savannah (tornadoes, wind, and lots of rain), but feel grateful for the land, the city, and the good fortune of being in an area less affected by the storms (and many thanks to Abby and Jenny for looking after me so well!).
Those further north had a very different experience, normally not affected by these coastal storms, but now having to suspend plans, strip back to the basics of life, and simply look after themselves and their neighbours. These storms often remind me of what is necessary and important, a reminder to relinquish what is not needed in the moment.
Our second eclipse of the season, this time a Solar Eclipse in Libra, feels aligned with the storms in many ways. Whenever I meditate on its energy, I am shown the relationship between the Sun and Moon, Masculine and...
What does true Surrender feel like?
Hello beautiful beings, I hope you are swimming gracefully with the Pisces Moon!
The moon is now in Pisces, with the eclipse less than 24 hours away! In the UK, the eclipse window will be in the middle of the night (1:41-5:47), but the moon will remain in Pisces until 10:24 tomorrow morning. So I would encourage you to hold any healing meditations or ceremonies before it moves into Aries. You're welcome to join us tonight (and repeat if you desire!)
Energetically, we are swimming in Water (but held gently by Earthly Virgo). So the time for healing, evolving, and unfolding is now...
But instead of feeling rushed or pushed to fit it all in, I am going to encourage you to pause, relax, surrender, release.
Imagine that you are in a large body of warm, calm, gentle water. There is movement, but the water is buoyant, it holds you, supports you, and allows you to move and flow at your own pace. Your body can totally relax, your mind is at ease, you know that you can trust what is...
Are you willing to make the journey towards your Vision?
Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are feeling the benefits of yesterday's Pisces New Moon, AND the beginning of Eclipse Season! The energy of change is palpable, you can feel it around you, and within. This is such a powerful time to focus on your healing, growth, and potential for change.
But first...
It may feel easy to get excited about the end result, the outcome you desire, the prize at the end of the journey. But when we consider what it takes to get there, we can feel daunted by the journey itself.
The journey of change (not TO change), is one that requires courage, a willingness to face our fears, and to surrender the inner conflicts and judgements that are preventing the outcomes we seek.
It is a moving process, a cycle of endings before the beginnings, and time within the liminal, where we may not have all of the answers, direction, support, or fulfillment that we believe would comfort us, or keep us 'safe' along the way.
If we place all of the reward at the end...
Can you create without weapons, change without fear?
Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are embracing the Peaceful Warrior within you during this eclipse season!
The question that keeps coming through ask us: How can we fight without fighting?
Throughout this entire eclipse season we have been immersed in the themes of Mars: loyalty, dedication, and of finding a Mission that is Worthy.
When Mars, or we, are in our shadow, we may find that we want to fight, argue, be Right. Our anger may flare up, frustration tries to move us forward, to find a focus to follow. We know that the path of anger is one that is detrimental, that brings out our weaknesses, and leaves us feeling exhausted, flat, defeated.
But if we can identify and understand the Purpose within us, we can embody the gifts of these transits, and live as the inner 'Guru' that we truly are.
The Guru is not one that seeks worship, praise, or disempowerment. The Inner Guru leads us to the Divine, Soul, it takes our prayers to God/Source, so that we can abide with...
What is beginning to bloom inside of you?
Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are enjoying the eclipse energy, and feeling grounded by Taurus season!
Because we are between eclipses, I have been doing a lot of healing and meditating on what is evolving within me now, and ways that I am being prepared for the next 6 months and beyond.
The image/message I keep receiving is on expansion of energy, and allowing it to move beyond my own contained space, and into the further collective, and our evolution within humanity.
Pluto is now in Aquarius, which connects us with the wider world, and changes that shape a generation. This pulls us out of our smaller issues, and shines light on the collective, so that we are able to heal, not only for ourselves, but also for the wider world, the planet, and everything on this earth.
I've been shown the growth of flowers and trees over time, and how nature builds, not from reaction and pain, but from a place of higher intelligence and understanding. And we can grow...
Do you know what you were built for?
Edge of Eclipse
On Tuesday, we connect with the first eclipse of 2, in Scorpio, with a Scorpio New Moon. A partial solar eclipse, reducing the light from the sun, with a dark new moon. This is an opportunity to release the past and uncover, remember, rediscover deeper truths within...
One of the concepts I have been pondering and refining for awhile now centers around Purpose or Dharma, and more specifically, what we are built for.
I believe that each of us has chosen to exist here in this lifetime, this plane, for various reasons. I also believe that we did not come without a plan, or arrive 'empty-handed'.
Imagine that you are planning a journey, one of importance, that would have an impact, both on yourself, and the lives your journey intersects with.
There would be many reasons for the endeavor, and because of its importance, you would prepare yourself. You would not begin without some knowledge of timing, terrain, or potential obstacles you could face....
How can you Prepare for Fundamental Change?
Although we are a few weeks into Spring and a new astrological year, things may not feel as 'solid' or formed as we would like for them to be. We have cardinal energy to inspire us, fire to ignite passion, and the Warrior/Aries energy to give us direction.
But we are also moving towards Eclipse Season (cue dramatic music!) ;)
Each year, I normally spend some time connecting with the eclipses, making plans that work with the energies present, and generally being aware of their effect.
This year is different. This year, my focus keeps being drawn to the eclipses, and I have been feeling compelled to make them a focus for the year.
Here is just a little bit of info to give some clarity (we'll go deeper during eclipse season)-
The eclipses this year are on the Taurus/Scorpio axis. So for those of you with a lot of energy in either sign, you're going to feel it! And even if you don't, these transits will absolutely effect you too.
Taurus energy centres on...
How do you create opportunities for Expansion?
Hello beautiful beings! We are currently between 2 eclipses, and heading deeper into Sagittarius Season! This week is an ideal time to shed old skins, masks, roles, identities. And as you create spaciousness within, you gain clarity to choose what will support and nurture you over the coming season.
Take time this week to sit and breathe. Connect with your body and emotions. Seek the deeper meaning in what you feel and what you experience. The answers are within.
If we fight against, we become small and fixed. But this is a time to expand. Allow yourself to expand your mind, and what you think you know. This is how we learn.
Allow yourself to expand your heart and the ways you experience life. This is how we learn to shift our emotional states and the way we feel in this world.
Allow yourself to expand your focus and the ways you view others around you. This is how we see beyond what can be seen.

Are you Dedicated or Obligated?

Is your Quest worthy of you?
Hello Alchemists! I hope you are taking the time this week to play with the elements, to float, fly, and burn. The focus this week is to lessen the load, to release resistance so that you can lighten, rise up, to fly...
We connect with a full moon lunar eclipse in less than 24 hours, and the effects have been intense, profound, providing an opportunity for unravelling. As I tune into the energy, I am shown that we have a choice- between the journey we have been on, and the true quest.
So many have invested in a narrative for the lives they have outgrown, or that wasn't really meant to be. This narrative likely motivated learning and evolution, but as the alignment wanes, so does the impact and outcome.
Each of us lives as the hero of our own story. You are the hero, working towards victory or specific outcome, and always against an enemy or adversary. For those who use an adversary to motivate effort or movement, there will always...
