August Eclipses of 2017 Astrology Summary by Emily Todd
The month of August has been full of fast moving energy, instability and has been intense for many. We have been in eclipse energies all month, characterized by unexpected changes, endings, new beginnings, and shedding of old patterns. This can be traced back to the first new moon in Leo on July 23rd, which was conjunct mars and initiated some bold new energy (as well as impatience, anger and frustration). The lunar eclipse on August 7th occurred at 15° Leo/Aquarius. This highlighted old patterns that we are ready to clear,... Read more...

I could not have made this move without... Read more...

Return to (self) Love with Reiki
“Love wants to do us favour: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.” ~ Hafiz What is Reiki? It’s a question that many have, but the answer is not always easy to articulate. When people ask me, I don't always know what to say. It’s like asking me, “What is love?” Truthfully, if I told you everything I know about it, it would take away from the magical, mystical experience Reiki offers. Instead, I would like to pose some questions back to you: Have you ever lost yourself...

Spring Equinox - MARCH 20th, 2017
Monday March 20th at 6:30 am marks Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Astrologically, spring equinox occurs when the sun shifts from 29° of Pisces to 0° Aries in the zodiac wheel. Aries is a cardinal sign. Cardinal signs mark the beginning of seasons (like Spring), and therefore carry an initiatory energy. Aries likes to take charge- act first, think later. It is all about leadership and fast action. This is a stark contrast as we leave the sign of Pisces, which is a much slower moving, dream-like fantasy. These... Read more...
