VENUS RETROGRADE MARCH 4TH - APRIL 15TH
For those who are familiar with astrology, “mercury retrograde” is frequently mentioned. The conventional thinking is that all of your conversations with others will go awry, your technology will go haywire and your travels will be somehow interrupted.   While those things can happen during a mercury retrograde transit, it is helpful to understand that every planet (except the sun and the moon) goes retrograde at least once every 1-2 years, and we do not have only negative experiences every time. Retrograde transits hold benefits for us as well. We are... Read more...
Upcoming Pisces Solar Eclipse 02/26 - Prepare to Release
On Sunday, February 26, 2017 we will experience a solar eclipse at 8° of Pisces.   Pisces is about surrender.I It is an empathic, sensitive and spiritual sign that looks to transcend limitations. Pisces also likes to escape- escape boundaries, escape responsibility, dive into fantasy and illusion.   As this eclipse is conjunct the south node of the moon, the pull towards our old default patterns (causing us to avoid our growth) may feel strong. With the planet of Neptune, the tendency to mistake fantasy for reality, to be lost in our dreams... Read more...

The Soul's Journey of Deeper Self Discovery & Healing
It is in the practice of surrender, remembrance and deep trust through the waves of darkness and light, that grace and presence of healing occurs within and without. The soul... a soul... my soul... your soul... all souls... all around... spread across lands. It calls to us... deeper and deeper to listen to its whisper, like a gentle breeze between seasons change, sharing its subtle mystic message as it sweeps through leaf and branch to reach our ears... like a roar of rich embers of a raging fire igniting passionate flames...

What Astrology Can teach you about YOU!
Are you an Aries or a Libra? Most people are aware of their sun sign,  which is found through the date of birth.

The study of astrology actually goes far beyond looking at sun signs.  Your natal chart shows the position of the planets in the sky the moment that you were born, including 10 planets, 12 zodiac signs and 10 houses. At it’s... Read more...
