I have been following her work for many years, and more recently have had the absolute privilege of knowing Jeanelle on a deeper heart-level. Ancient remembrance of sisterhood unfolding. I will let the conversation speak for itself. It is basically 90-m...

Oh fair maiden, the one that teaches us how to attune our bodies to the rhythms of the Natural World. How contorted this energy can become by the standards of Empire. What is at its core a highly-evolved intelligence of organization and sustainability, has now become a cog in the wheel of capitalism. The True Heart of Virgo is as pure as the white bone of the moon, now blackened by the soot of una...

The Cancer Full Moon, as a vibe^. Occuring on Moonday Jan 13 att 5:26pm EST, we have a BIG cancer full moon. Luna is in her power spot here, as the moon rules Cancer. Amplification of our emotional process, needs, and tending. The added layer here is that Mars is making its way backwards thru Cancer, along its retrograde journey. This is NOT an easy movement. Mars does not have an easeful time in...

Wow, my friends. Here we are. At the final threshold of 2024. What a year. May it go out with a bang, as heads hit pillows for deep winter rest. This prayer is one of integration, slowness, and a gently-held nervous system. May we find ways to give ourselves a moment of breath before entering the initiation that is 2025. In this week’s podcast, I offer some words about Devotion from a Capricornian...

WINTER SOLSTICE + CAPRICORN SZN Solstices + Equinoxes are the Time Turners. They are the ones who take the Great Wheel of Life, and initiate new cycles. The Winter Solstice marks the initiation of the Cailleach, the wise elder witch, Mother of Life + Death, the one who weighs our lives on the barren bones of our own survival. The one who knows what it takes to build a world, in the face of time an...

OKAY FAM. Big week! Last FULL MOON of 2024! Mercury stations direct on the SAME DAY! On Sunday, December 15th at 4:01amEST, the full moon peaks at 23* of Gemini. It will be VERY close to Jupiter, currently retrograding in Gemini, and opposite its planetary ruler Mercury, who stations direct in SAG the same day as the full moon. A lil topsy turvy, which way is up? Does it matter? Are riddles meant...

This week is laying some MAJOR groundwork for the year to come. Mars has officially stationed retrograde, joining Mercury in a Fire sign retrogression. What if conflict is an invitation into deeper connection? This week I also talk a bit about the larger energetics at play, preparing us to step into 2025. We have a VERY big tone shift ahead of us next year, with ALL major planets shifting signs co...

Sagittarius Sz has arrived, fresh off the bat with Mercury Retrograding through it's integrative process! This is the Myth of our lives, both personal + collective. Sagittarius helps us hold perspective as we integrate all of the shadowy truths we unearthed in Scorpio's underworld garden. I’m in travel mode, so I’ll let the podcast speak for itself. Next weekend, on December 1st, we have a New Moo...

Okay family, the moment has finally arrived. On November 19th, Pluto will enter Aquarius + never look back. A generational milestone, a moment that will usher us into a whole new collective paradigm. This is BIG. I know Astrologers have been talking about this for literally the entire year, but if that’s any indication, this is a huge moment for the collective fabric of reality. A whole new energe...

Okay y’all, what is there to say. So much, AND ALSO — this is not the time for sweeping platitudes. This is the time for grieving, raging, feeling, weeping, and letting it all move through. I want to acknowledge that I recorded this podcast on Nov 4, the day before our World shifted. I debated on whether or not to record an entirely new episode to address all that's stirring, but I also feel that...
