Friends, wow. We have a LOT of fire in the skies, and I’m certain I’m not the only one experiencing it very somatically. Mars tends to bring that embodied level into the mix, and now our work is tempering it accordingly. I’ve been thinking a lot about warriorship, devoting ourselves to something bigger than us and preparing for a battle that may never come. And yet, here we are. What are you fight...

My friends! This week brings go-power. Multiple Cazimis + conjunctions in Aries asks that we are willing to KEEP MOVING, as a way to break out of the confusion + fragmentation that our own dis-memberment creates within.

Tonight, as the Full Moon rose in the East, we gathered in circle as we do every Moonday to speak of Earth + Stars (as part of the Altar of Stars Live Mentorship Group).

I wanted to share it with you all in the hopes that it supports whatever proces...
