This week is a profound one, so I wanted to spend some time walking you through the energies at play, so that you can dance with them, instead of fight against them!

We spent the past 2 weeks with watery Neptune flooding us with emotion, intuition, dreams.  Some of us have felt caught in storms, drowning, unable to breathe.  All of this, along with the Full Moon in Pisces (which is ruled by Neptune) has really highlighted our relationship with the water element, and the ways it influences/enhances our lives.

For those of you ready to dry out, I have good news!  On Wednesday we change seasons with the Equinox, and the Sun moves into Libra.  Let's break this down a bit...

At the Equinox, day and night are of equal length, which reminds us that we are neither all dark nor all light.  We are complex, layered, deep and interesting.  And though we often try to make things appear 'black or white', to simplify or ease our minds, life is rarely that...

Today marks the 1st Quarter Moon, half way between fiery Aries, and icy Scorpio.  As we make the plunge, there is a recognition that a lot can change within a few weeks, and that we can create it meaningfully and consciously.

During the New Moon ceremony, we talked about simply allowing yourself to burn, to allow the fire to purify and liberate emotionally and energetically.  I know that last week, I did a lot of that- simply allowing what was no longer needed or necessary to burn in so many ways.  I cleared my wardrobe, the garage, the attic, organising my thoughts and mind as I worked.  I transferred paperwork from physical to online, simplifying processes.  I cleared inflammatory food from my fridge and cupboards, supporting a cleansing of my body.  And I surrendered to any nudges to release, relax, to loosen my grip.

As we move into steady Taurus energy (more on this in the next newsletter), and the moon moves towards the tundra of...

And how one extreme can show the way to harmony…

I have always been more comfortable in extremes. Extremes are much clearer than ‘middle ground’. When you feel really angry, you know it. If you just feel a little irritated, uninterested, meh, there is less clarity on how you feel and why. A few years ago, I began to look into extremes, and how I could use them to find harmony. And I found that experiencing one extreme can show you the other side of the coin…

Early last year, I set the intention to find my flow in the feminine. Even as a woman, I often feel more comfortable in my masculine aspects. But I wanted to find more harmony between the two, and so I started to look for ways to soften, and embrace both. But I did not have much luck as I struggled to find something that would support the two.

In October, I found myself signing up for a Crossfit class. For those of you who know a bit about Crossfit, you will know that it is not the most feminine of...
