A myth is not a lie. It’s a story. In a culture that largely conflates myth with lie, or sees mythology as a relic of the past or a tool for fantasy movies and the “unreal,” we’ve largely lost sight of the ways that mythologies -- be they spiritual, cosmological, familial or ancestral -- shape… Continue reading Deconstructing the Myth of Soulmate 2019

If we do not connect, we do not thrive. In fact, lack of connection often means we do not survive. That’s science, yo.  Art by Amanda Connection is at the heart of all living things. Real time, material world connection. Physical. Intellectual. Heart-to-heart. The tiny packets of information transmitted in the locking of a gaze… Continue reading Libra New Moon 2019

On Friday, August 30 at 3:37am (Pacific Time, y’all), we have a lovely New Moon in Virgo. It’s more than that, though.

But for now,  we also have an outright pile up of all kinds of Virgo… Continue reading Virgo New Moon: Functional Humanity

Home and hearth. What we love and protect. How we identify with our family. Our traumas. We recognize the blood that flows through us is connected to so much of what came before, and what will come after… the potential for healing… or for feeling enslaved. We nurture and support that which is sprouting inside… Continue reading Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Cancer

There is so much astrology going on right now, friends. It is a fascinating mix of structured and nebulous, extraordinary and mundane, full of possibility and potential... and just plain hard. The words I’ve used to describe this year the most are: Maturation processes. Reckoning. Active Labor. This Sagittarius Full Moon, exact at 1:31am Pacific… Continue reading Sagittarius Full Moon 2019

Oh, Gemini. One of two signs ruled by Mercury. The drive and desire to know. To categorize and label. Not even necessarily to understand (that’s more a function of Mercury’s manifestation through Virgo). Gemini relates to our language and communication. The way we speak about what we think. It also relates to the ways we lie… Continue reading Gemini New Moon: Thoughtfully Unlabeled

Power rests differently within each of us. We relate to it differently, wield it differently. On Saturday, May 18 at 2:11pm (Pacific time) we have a Full Moon in Scorpio that asks the question: what does it feel like to be grounded, centered, and full of love while standing in the eye of the storm?… Continue reading Scorpio Full Moon: Pure, Golden Waves
